Will be interesting to see how and who Liverpool play tonight against Lyon.

They’ll be terrified of getting off to a slow start this season, so I’m thoroughly expecting their returning players to get 10-20 mins tonight and then a bit more time against us.

Can’t believe we are nearly here now it’s been a long summer hopefully we have a pretty much full squad on Sunday and a good starting line up to smash the dippers can’t wait to get down there.

To be fair, they've had better preseason opponents than us. Hope us playing cupcakes doesn't come back to haunt this Sunday.

Unless I'm being Clarkied

Tranmere W
Bradford W
Dortmund L
Sevilla L
Sporting D
Napoli L

I know we haven't played many games & all that but I think we're in a better position to push on.

Seriously? Theyve been beaten 3 times, negative headlines, another game tonight a few days before the charity shield - Better preparation/preseason than City? Dont under estimate City's opponents, that last side was v tough

Doesn't matter. Their superior competition bin games that don't matter is superior to our preseason.

Their opponents have been stronger.

Their opponents have been stronger.

weak or strong, being well beaten is not good for morale. I dont think City's morale would have been better than it is now if we had spent our mid-season being beaten by all the better teams.

We might get beat btw. I dont assume we will win, but if we lose it wont be because they'#ve been playing tougher opposition (without their main players)

This is THE most important trophy and we must win this at any cost

I really must look up the definition of a Clarkie...
