Community Shield - 2024/25 | 10 Aug Sat 3pm

[johnny crossan]

Suspect we’ll see a similar line-up to the last friendly against Chelsea,
Ortega
Lewis
Dias
Akanji/Ake
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Bernardo/De Bruyne/Nunes
McAtee
Grealish
Bobb
Haaland

no Kalvin then?

 

[Father Paul]

no Kalvin then?

One would think he would appear at some stage if only to remind the football world he's available or perhaps to give him one last chance to stake a claim for a squad place?

Another day, another game, another Community Shield awaits. Here's hoping we'll have a triumphant time then & there.

Anyone know what end City are in?

Adrian Durham just really pissed Shebangs Aherne off. She insists it’s a trophy, to which he said yes it probably is to United, whereas to City it won’t count as one in the scheme of things.

Fuming.

West .. Green Man side ..

 

[Ric]

no Kalvin then?

Hopefully not. He did well against Chelsea, but would probably get exposed by United’s long balls over the top. Plus he’s not part of our plans this season, so it’s more important to get those that are some match fitness.

Can see a back four of lewis, akanji, dias and gvardiol for this one, none of them involved in the last four of the euros so should be reasonably fresh

Pub rag last night (he’s from Wythenshawe) thinks they’re going to get beaten tomorrow.

Classic tactic so that you won't take the piss if they do. No doubt he'll be over celebrating if they win
