Community Shield Official Post Match Reaction Thread

We will lose because Mancini too conservative
Mancini concept just know defend
we tactical 4-2-3-1 but counterattack too slow
Dzeko Mario yaya silva milner no players have speed to counterattack
Dzeko Mario not to put pressure on their defense
second half they defender moved to the midfield,this showed that they are not afraid of us forward

Mancini say We must learn,but i think himself must learn first
 
Have been absolutely gutted the last few times Utd have got last minute winners against us, but suprisingly wasn't that bothered this time (obviously would have been nice to win). I'm just glad it wasn't of any real importance, and hopefully it will give us a kick up the arse for the start of the season next week.
 
Taken from scum cafe

It will be Barca trying to emulate our style from now on. At times all players where attacking - not often you see that in football today.

A dislaimer though... I think City were playing far beyond their standards yesterday. Their midfield didn't perform one bit of what they can. We shouldn't be thinking it will be this easy. Dejong and Yaya were both holding back a lot and Millner looked out of breath early in the second half, which indicates they're probably coming out of a very hard training period and not really 100% for this game. Things they will benefit from as we get further into the season.
 
Getting a ribbing of rags in work. All of them very giddy about this result. I posted earlier what I thought about the game. I'm gutted for the Blues who made the journey, but in terms of the game and the result, it's really weird; I'm just not arsed.

Although, in response to my mate once I'd received the obligatory text message 5 mins after the final whistle:

"Was worried about you as I didn't get a text at half time. Text me again at the end of the season when it's all sorted out properly."
 
Bobby got it wrong in this game and he should have put Johnson on the left to have a go at Smalling and in doing so stop 2 players attacking our left with only one defender (Kolarov) trying to stop both.

Should have dropped Yaya for Barry second half as he just didn't seem fit.

Also it backs up what Bobby as been saying and that we still need a couple of players in as we were short of ideas without Tevez and Silva. Yes we have Aguero to come in but we need more ideas from the midfield and wings.

Hopefully we will get Nasri and a n other and if Tevez goes a n other to replace him.
 
Not sure if already posted but the Joe Hart Reaction video on the OS is well worth a watch, thought he summed it up very well and it's made me feel confident that the players understand.
 
Sorry for posting this but the question has to be asked; should De Jong have been tracking Nani's run?

Got to put your hands up to this one and just work on the first and third goals in terms of any defensive lapses.

I must say they looked miles better than us.

I hate to say it, but Tevez really does carry us.
He wasn't playing in the semi and we managed quite well.


wouldnt waste your breath hes a rag
I must be a rag too then as i agree with him, Tevez has carried us through a lot of games
 
Mancini's post match said he disappointed with the team that loss ball control in the 2nd half, I think all the mistakes started there. You went 2-0 up, you need to plan to kill the game off by piling more pressure on your opponent's weakest links that were their novice keeper and shaky defense, but Mancini choosed to allow the pressure back to his own team by sitting back and hope to play percentage football to hang on to the 1st half's score against the comeback-expert instead.

Or is it just a Mancini's plan to show the management that they should buy more players as his request?

I am not to arsed that we lost the match anymore , what bothers me is the fact that the rags are creaming themselves over a game , that before , yesterday they couldn't give two shits about and was branded as a friendly . I can't wait , until we beat those bastards again , they give miles of abuse after a friendly game , imagine the abuse we are going to hand out after we beat them in a game of significance.
 
Just arrived back from a weekend in the big smoke...Overall I have to say it was a dissapointing trip...very subdued atmosphere for a wembley game and nowhere near the excitement levels of the semi or final...to be expected i suppose but for me our lads just did not really turn up and most of us fans seemed a bit half arsed about it all......or seem that bothered really...Utd on the other hand looked really up for it from the go and i thought we were lucky to be going in 2-0 up at half time...I was cahtting to a fellow blue at the bar and said that we don't conced 3 in a game never mind a half so we should be able to come out and express ourselves a bit second half and pop another couple in....how wrong was I?
In the great scheme of things it's not a damaging loss and whilst I think Utd looked much sharper (they have had the whole squad together from early doors due to quick work in the transfer market) I think we will be a tougher propostion when we meet in the league...I can see them getting off to a flier a la Chelsea last year and we just need to keep pace until we hit full match sharpness.

On a final note I was pissed off to see Rooney waving goodbye to our fans as the teams lined up to kick off after nani's second goal...cheeky twat needed a slap.

whilst whisky nose is in charge of the rags - wins against them will be few and far in between - Mancini dont seem to be able to compoete with him
