Liverpool (N) | Community Shield | Post-Match

Just watched the game having been out esrlier. Not even remotely surprised we lost, in fact I said we would. I stand by my long standing belief that Pep is the best manager over 38 games but pretty average over 1 game.

Alvarez looks mint

Is it me, or does he look like kinkladze?

I’m critical over pep at times; what was wrong today? Very strong team out and decent subs?

Fuck me I have never seen such overreacted after a game with so little baring on it then this one.
ITV , the media and the cult.

Even some City fans calm the fuck down, it's July, Pep treated this as pre season, Klopp as a final in CL Nenuz celebration
And yes I am bitter.

No need to feel bitter, massive positives from that game.

Teams 3rd game


Controlled 70% of the game


Had more chances


Gunny not fit but bossing midfield


LFC more fitness, but only two shots on target and struggling to get out of their half.


Beat by a penalty and deflection.


Julian off the mark


The Brut nearer fitness and premier league experience


KDB closer to fitness.


Bernie's possession.


Wing backs will get better.


Might aswell hand us the premier league trophy over now and save everyone some time.

Pep won't be feeling as bad as some of you lot, he'll take a lot away from this game.

Chins up you blues....

I’m still waiting for them to show the penalty shout we had

From today? Or every season?

Disappointing result yesterday, but no-one will be talking about this game after a few days. Another trinket for Livarpool.

I dunno mate. Maybe nothing. I just have zero confidence in us winning a one off game against Liverpool. Which is pretty ridiculous when we have shown we are a better side than them for like 19 of the last 20 seasons

Norwegian lukaku they are already saying hahah!

When you say ‘they’ do you mean a massive pair of swollen testicles?

Think it’s 5 wins, 5 draws, and 7 defeats against Liverpool under Guardiola. Obviously they’re the team we struggle against most, but it’s hardly all one-way.

Not just them. Happens in all the knock out comps, CL being the big one. Unfortunately the style of play cab be predictable. Whilst so effective over a season, in a one off game where more risks are taken it can come undone.

But that was not the case today, fitness and new players had a massive part to play today. You could tell the boys were gutted. Haaland needs to get that first competitive goal ASAP and he'll be off.

Exciting season coming up!
