I never thought for a second that he was a full back, well not an effective one anyway..... he doesn't defend well enough, or show enough awareness for me in that position, and that only leads to him making rash tackles or poor decisions often resulting in bookings etc .... his energy and...

There's a lot of promise in that !

I think the song could well work, maybe with a few new lyrics ..... a slightly adjusted starting line of 'There's a Khusanov all over the pitch tonight' would be a good base to build on!

( Great story, enjoyed reading that ...... yep, it's clear to see how well regarded Khusanov is in his homeland, and how immensely proud they are of both him, and their country.

It's probably more to do with promoting Citys (and Etihad Airways) overall image and appeal in the far east primarily, but if we didn't go there we'd still need to build up fitness by playing a few friendlies elsewhere ...... Asian fans like to attach themselves to successful clubs, which is...

Agreed .... people from Germany were getting in his ear all the time trying to convince him to return home and he allowed it to affect his form here .. he was always likely to return to Germany sooner, rather than later, as the german international team manager was reportedly reluctant to travel...

You're not joking ..... that first city penalty was absolutely diabolical, and most of the others weren't much better, we never looked like winning that penalty shootout at any stage of it.

Yep, we were definitely much improved in the 2nd half, Inter barely got a look in, but we need to start converting chances or it won't mean much ......

I watched him in his fleeting appearances last season, in the domestic cups, and he looked a good player to me ... I would have had him on the bench, or started him in a league game or two following those cup appearances, but you could never really account for the way Pep was thinking .... he's...

Well one thing's for sure .... Real Madrid might only value Rodri at 51m, but they sure as hell won't value Vinicius Jnr at 51m ! At just 26 years old , you'd probably have to treble that price as a 'starting point' before they'll even come anywhere near the table !

Well we had a lot more possession than them in the 2nd half, but our finishing was poor so we failed to take advantage of it, hence we got dragged into an abysmal penalty situation that we never looked like winning ..... I still maintain its better to win games than lose them, to build a...

It's when you get there and you can't remember what you've gone for that you realise you've got problems !

I'm fast approaching 70 .. year of extreme depression, resignation and suicidal thoughts ..... where you're only thankful that you can still open your eyes in a morning !

Ther are some on here who think that missing these penalties doesn't matter because these games are only friendlies .... i say losing games doesnt inspire confidence, belief, or create a feelgood factor within the squad, amongst the fans, or within the club ... you should play EVERY game to win...

Not a bad crowd today , 42, 286 .... capacity there is 50,000.

42, 286 .. the attendance today in Hong Kong. (Stadium Capacity is 50,000)

Yes, there was probably more City fans there than the Italians had, but you just knew we'd let them down in the end .... our finishing was pretty abysmal overall.

I agree about the pens, they were diabolical yet the players didn't really look that bothered. As for Mc Aidoo, you could clearly see his potential in last seasons FA Cup games that he featured in ..... but like Savinho, he needs to keep working, and keep practising his finishing.

That's a bit better city, keep the pressure on !

Neither do i .... I thought he'd f'ked off already!
