City v AC Milan post match thread

[Barcon]

I’m not worked up about the results - and I enjoy watching the “kids.” So my comment was not in regards to that. Believe me, I’d be happy if all the starters got more time on the beach! I guess this begs another question. I don’t think these guys really ever get “out of shape” but is the expectation they’re all doing these (What look like) hard core workouts on their few weeks off? Some players post on social media a lot about it - Doku, Grealish.

It’s just how they live their lives.
Similar to seeing people jogging on the beach in Mexico or using a treadmill at a resort.
I personally am far too busy for such activities.

Kind of off topic, but figuring this thread is busy so someone will answer. Doku has pictures of himself training - pretty much every day for the last week. If he’s doing that, why doesn’t he join up with the team?

To be fair he’s hardly going to post pictures of himself rat arsed and falling over outside a bar.

exactly !!! He’s on holiday and he’s a good professional keeping fit.

The penny will drop on here one day for those getting worked up about pre-season results.

The games mean nothing - the reason City give players the correct amount of holiday is the reason we are strong at the end of the season.

The down side is there are often shaky pre-season results and losing the charity shield but we will be strong at the end

Pep always manages the calendar very well in terms of fitness. No one is stronger than us when we hit the home straight at the business end of the season.

But it would be nice to get points on the board early

I have reached the conclusion that with pep at least early season is all about keeping in touch. If after about 14 or 15 games we are within 5 or 6 points of the leaders everything is on target. It is of course nice to win it before the Christmas decorations are hauled down, like we have done in the past.

Sat in the bar like the rest of us, eh?

We won 10 on the bounce at the start of last season or something like that didn’t we?

Won the first 7 and then lost to Arsenal away 1-0, which ultimately cost us the PL.....

Was it spurs who were unbeaten after 10?

Them or Arsenal. I recall Spurs holding a parade around early October for being top or thereabouts.

Edit, Spurs, played 10, won 8, drew 2 before getting smashed at home to Chelsea 4-1
Arsenal played 10, won 7, drew 3 before losing away at Newcastle 1-0

On the beach, under an umbrella.

Every season its the same process.
I've already bought my charity shield tickets and City are woefull in friendly games. Don't expect to win at Wembley but grateful that we're there. Especially after winning the League AGAIN CTID

I can do better than that I know the full time score, the match just ended.

 

[Barcon]

You living in time warp machine ? :)

3-2 80th min : )

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

This pre seasons becoming a very profitable excercise for yours truly. 10er on Celtic @ 21-10. Then another 10er on AC win btts at 9-2. City nowhere near the pace yet the bookies keep giving away these prices. I think the scum will do us too. City only click into gear when it really matters. #competiveGames.com

Sorry but Pep was 100 per cent right to give him that dressing down. He was clearly unprofessional and he also showed his brittle mentality in the manner he totally failed to respond to his censure. I don't hate the guy nor do most of his critics and if he was given game time I would get fully behind him. But the reality is that he is not going to get on the pitch yet again this season because he just doesn't fit in any way, shape or form. I think there is one thing certain at this stage and that is it is best for both parties that the relationship is terminated.

Don't expose,embarass or criticise subordinates in public....Pep has subsequently conceded that he was wrong and apologised.

The Philips deal hasn't worked,Pep misjudged him,that's not the players fault.

City fans were furious when Pep criticised our home support !!

 

[bluedave1894]

Fucking sickening to see Wright Phillips & Lescott laughing their bollocks off at Ibrahimovic putting down our support on City's own TV channel. Who invited that **** on?
