After watching him last night I think it's apparent he's just really bad at DM in Pep's system. He can't do the things he needs to do. I thought he seemed decent at CB especially considering he rarely if ever plays there.Don't think he played badly tonight. I don't even think he's as bad as people on here say. Am I on my own thinking this? Tell me I'm not on my own here ...
Yes. A lot more city fans from all over the globe.It looked on the telly like City fans probably outnumbered Barca in the stadium. Was that the case?
Think we would be surprised how far many of City's American fans are travelling to these games.The Amerincan fans did have that far to travel to be fair.
Kalvins days at City are over no matter how good or bad he plays.If Kalvin drops in at CB could Johnny become Rodders' midfield deputy?
Yep America is big. My son and I flew from Dallas, TX to North Carolina to watch them play.Think we would be surprised how far many of City's American fans are travelling to these games.
Although City are moving their venues, there is still a huge distance between them.
Am very surprised that City had a bigger support than Barcelona at the game ? They were recently considered as one of the best supported teams around the world...
Yep. Whats that a 4 or 5 hour flight?Yep America is big. My son and I flew from Dallas, TX to North Carolina to watch them play.
That Kovacic assist is sublime, as was Grealish’s finish.
If Grealish has learned to smash the ball across the goal, he might reach the top level.
Kovacic looked fresh and marauding runs like that will make him a fan favourite.
Phillips is a better centre half than 6, but that isn’t saying very much!
Michael JacksonWho's this?
Wouldn't be surprised if either Stonesy, KDB or Walker pull up short with muscle strains early on in the season.
It’s about giving the country with our largestI don't see what Pep will get out of this pre-season tour to take into the new season.
With so many players still not back until Monday next week it's going to be a patched-up squad for the community shield then let's see for the first game.
Also, I think is going to be a crazy week starting on Monday, Pep will see what players want to stay, getting loans for the young players on the tour, maybe some new signings.
Pre-season starts on Monday for me and Pep has 2 weeks to build his squad for the new season.
Halle UpWho's this?
It’s about giving the country with our largest
supporter base and largest disposable income a close up view of the greatest team in the world to grow the brand even more to work towards world domination
from my point of view we have half a team ready to go now v chelsea on the 18th nearly 3 weeks away that's the only game that really matters, the rags is bragging rights onlyI know why the tour happened and to a point the number of first-team players on offer to Pep.
But my point was what does Pep get out of this tour for the new season. Pre-season you need a full squad to all work together on things and fitness levels, Pep and City will have players all over the place on fitness levels and not on the same timescales,
Does Pep hold on to the same squad from the USA tour for the Community Shield and the first couple of games of the season, Or does he bring in the players missing from the tour in the hope they have kept a good level of fitness in the time off.
Always gonna happen wherever we are after a summer tournament. Mandatory rests etc, gonna be even longer if FIFPro get the mandatory 28 day period in.I know why the tour happened and to a point the number of first-team players on offer to Pep.
