City v AC Milan post match thread

We have lost our opening games again, probably for the same reason, personally i have loved seeing our young players playing against adults, Phillips had made 1 mistake and his leadership must be questioned, but has been okay. The bit i noticed though was how much more savvy the opponents were, when they took the lead late in the game, they immediately took control of the game through fouls. hope to see more of that trialist looked quick tricky and strong, been a few years since we last had one, we have probably just got over getting done by UEFA, or we could be just taking the piss out of the PL.
 
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?
 
Isn’t he on holiday?
I can’t tell where he is, but I just feel like if you’re training that much, why not just join the team and train with them? (I totally think they deserve the time off, so that isn’t a comment on that). I guess maybe it’s better off to do some specific training than flying all over the US.

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

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 entirely up to them. So long as they don't come back out of shape... so I guess it's not entirely up to them. Put it this way, if they spent the holiday eating McDonald's three times a day and sleeping, they'd run into a problem when they returned. There aren't specific "training requirements" whilst they're away from the club, but they are expected to maintain themselves so that they're in a good condition for training on their return.

Are you certain you are the real Prophet of Doom ?
Not one ounce of gloom and doom in that response. ;)
