Just get that right back and I honestly think we will win the fuckin lot next season

Yea thats the last piece to this side as well as selling players that won't be needed. If we do that then will set us up very well.

So we need to beat Juve or we draw Real Madrid probably?
One more goal and a draw v Juve would have been enough that’s unlucky!

We will beat Juve

Went into Atlanta after the match and everywhere was shut or shutting at midnight prob co it’s Sunday.
So had to get Uber back to digs and had some emergency cans of cider in fridge which I bought in Cherokee( one of the nicest places to visit I tell you ) en rout from Philly game.
Anyway a most enjoyable game loads of American City fans especially families. Wouldn’t let Flags be put up which was out of order, think people be ok in Orlando. Old geezer walked passed us on the aisle City shirt and Tottenham Hotspur baseball cap. Bet he loved 1981.

Is 'I stayed up for Al-Ain' the new 'York away'?

 

[bladdered]

Thought that new kit looked cool. Best one in years.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

Different as night and day to last season ,faster ,more decisive and more direct and even crosses ,good corners and set plays .
All positive feel very confident for the New season
Big improvement on the slow side to side don't shoot tedious boring style of last season.

Just watched goals

Looked a very healthy crowd full of blues!
Massive arent we

 

[Indaparkside]

Emerson and Aki Cherki and Akanji
Ruben Dias Johnny stones
Best Football team in Europe were Manchester City on are way to Budapest
Oh oh were the boys in blue


Can see us bringing this home next year in-fact can see us winning the lot great early signings great squad to rotate can feel something special again this season

 

[skybluepower]

Sell Akanji

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Or if Haaland had taken one of his three/four chances in open play.

Sell him

 

[Boris Yeltsin]

If haaland starts attacking the ball instead of ambling about there is 50 goals a season for him if he wants them

His body language is shocking. Someone needs to have a word with him about that.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I couldn’t watch it. Was that starting lineup a 3 at the back, or was Nunes just a right winger?

 

[Marvin.]

Disappointing that we are going to have to beat Juventus to avoid meeting Real Madrid. Juve will likely just play on the counter which I imagine will suit them.

42,000 there last night which is double the attendance for what Chelsea got at the same stadium

Exciting that we are going to have to beat Juventus to avoid meeting Real Madrid.

Corrected your post.

Positives for me were Ait Nourri, Echeverri and Cherki looking like very good signings, hunger to win the ball back, more minutes for Bobb and Rodri, and Bernardo is still a great player.
Negatives were that we still looked open to a counter attack, Haaland not the robot in front of goal that we first saw and Gvardiol still giving a poor pass away.
Otherwise all very exciting to see the flair that has been added to the team.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Just watched it now, could have been 10.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Did Echeverri come off injured?
