Hi everyone. Long time no see for various reasons. Team's going great. The goals, the style of play... beautiful to watch. Just a quick heads up on the laughable reporting of the British media on Sergio's separation from his girlfriend if anyone is interested or bothered. Anyone who has seen...

Having watched the Everton game again, I thought the first half was better than a lot of people think. I saw enough improvement in the 3-5-2 from the Brighton game to be quite happy if Pep decides he wants to experiment further with it. Besides a win, what I would like to see in this coming...

Seconded.

Would not like to think our manager would be happy to risk losing vital points just to get signings.

Agree with you again mate. More of a problem may be a bit harsh. From what I've seen I certainly think Sergio has been creating more chances for other players than Gabriel so far this season. Personally, I would prefer both in the team with Jesus on one of the flanks and Sergio up top. We...

Slow build-up in these situations has been a problem for us. True. Sergio also thrived working off of the traditional centre forward types we used to have.

Also a good point.

Agree with all of this. Pep's attack in small spaces and defend large spaces is a fascinating watch in terms of how it will go in this league.

Sanchez is a top player, and it would be great to have him play at City, but to say he is the answer in front of goal is taking a leap. I've seen him miss his fair share of easy chances,just like any other goal scorer. A few weeks back a lot on here were saying young Gabriel would make us more...

Not going to bag any of the players over this. They all did their best on the day and in the circumstances. 10 v 11 we were magnificent against a good team. Special mentions (in no particular order) to Otamendi, Silva D, Silva B, Sergio, Raheem and KDB. They were all tireless in their...

Going to be an interesting match. Koeman and Pep know each other well. The last match we played them I got the feeling while watching that Koeman knew what Pep was going to do before he did it. Everton's players seemed to be prepared for any eventuality and had an answer for it. Felt like a bit...

Glad to see him back playing.

Give the lad time. He's being challenged to develop new facets in his game. Far too early to say he can't do this or he isn't that. Things will improve.

How did a discussion on this glorified PR exercise become a debate on whether we should bench our two best players? Hope people aren't taking the result or the way we played too heavily. It was a friendly situated between two important league games. Nothing more. Glad to get away with no injuries.

Excellent post this. So many recently want to dwell on every supposed blunder this lad makes while completely ignoring the good he does.

Understandably rusty, especially first game of the season against a team who came out to just disrupt (as is their right). Things will improve. Fantastic goal when it came. Big guns KDB, Silva D and Sergio stepping up when it counted. Pleased Mr Walker played so well in his first big game for...

Anyone know if this lot are bus parkers? I suppose even if they normally aren't they most likely will be against us. We'll probably need a two goal lead for the game to open up. Hopefully we're defensively strong, nail a couple of early chances then let the good times roll. To all going to...

Good practice for what the team is likely to face a lot this season. Movement off the ball good. Some slick play around the box. Our strikers got that goal scoring feeling. No injuries. Now for the proper stuff.

Best of luck to the lads. No injuries. Some good patterns of play. Hopefully some goals. Good time had by all. Then we'll be ready to rumble for the season opener.

Really enjoyed watching Yaya, Samir and Sergio running things as a combination late in the second half. Almost a sense of fond nostalgia, even though they are all still very relevant as footballers. They made it easy for the kids that were buzzing around them. Still a delight to watch them play...
