City v Arsenal post match thread

[blueinsa]

All in here please and it was a pre season friendly, no points where lost!

 

[Andouble]

appeal to FA to extend pre-season a further 8 weeks.

 

[Delphacito]

Can honestly say that Willy might be our starting GK against Sunderland.

 

[Theengelbert]

Harts trending, lots of people slagging him off... Hope we don't replace him. Obviously nobody is bigger than the club but he sort of feels like the heart (no pun intended) and soul of the team

 

[BlueRockape]

To much back passing for me

 

[Feed the Elk]

very different approach from Pep having the full backs play in the middle of the pitch creating space for the centre backs to bring it forward.. not what i expected to see at all

 

[Akiva]

MOTM for me was Delph, very impressed with his effort again.

Also impressed with Nolito, Zinchenko, KDB and Zabaletta. Hope we see Sterling growing even further in confidence.

Hart is sloppy and his days are sadly numbered.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Pep having to tell the players to go over to the fans at full time. Tossers.

 

[journolud]

Can we have a separate thread for the flappers?

 

[lazerblue]

Thank fuck that's over, get the skirt back on

 

[hcblue95]

People need to remember that Hart was probably our fourth best player last year after Fernandinho, De Bruyne and Aguero.

 

[blueinsa]

Its a run out/fitness exercise at the end of the day and you judge nothing on the scorelines, good or bad, however, some of the performances from a few show no signs of them learning anything new under Pep and it will have shown him just that.

Big week in training coming up.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Hart looks like his head has gone.

It also served as a reminder to the hype train to relax on annointing Tosin or any other kid as the chosen one.

 

[bluegirl74]

Today doesn't matter. Next week...

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

We need a bit longer before the start of the season. Defence is defo not ready. Hope hart comes through this patch.

We are not quite ready. Defo need a defensive signing

 

[pete1970]

Hope that guys ok
Bad injury
As far as were concerned ok we lost but as you say no points lost either
We will be ok against Sunderland

 

[kaz7]

Too much poncing around at the back,that'll cost us big time

 

[CityForever45]

Still a lot of work to do, but we'll get there

 

[dario2739]

Like how the pundits were bemoaning Arsenal's defence and amount of injured/missing players... yet never mentioned our make-shift backline, just slagged off our defending!

End of the day, I never put too much stock in pre-season friendlies... we've had great preseasons then been relegated... leave the giddiness to the Rags, Dippers and Tarquins who are all going to win the league now, apparently!

 

[B.L.U.E.M.O.O.N]

All in here please and it was a pre season friendly, no points where lost!

This totally

Important to keep a level on this, pre-season, nothing won or lost, Pep is no fool and we should absolute faith in him - roll on next week.
