Well, we didn't deserve to win did we? Nor did we deserve that sort of loss, yet another injury time loss to them - thought those days were over. It was probably a handball by Nani but we'd never get a decision like that from these referees (see card count, etc., usual one-sidedness).

Great goal by Dzeko but if we're going to play that style of football, he is isn't the right because we need pace and he just slows us down.

We simply aren't as good as we think yet but take out Dzeko and Milner from that starting lineup and add Aguero and Nasri then we should be closer to our target.

collapsed in the second half! don't understand what clichy was doing in front of Nani!

Credit where credits due. Rags were excellent today and ran us ragged in the middle of the park. Best team won by a mile.

I think Kompany has taken the term "friendly" a bit too seriously.

Awful performance. A flattering defeat if there's such a thing.

Manchester United 100% deserved to win that game, however i am continually surprised by the stupidity and lack of common sense from well paid proffesionals. Thick as fucking pig shit is Clichy. Well done United.

 

[blueinsa]

We were shit when 2-0 up and shit when 3-2 down.

Friendly game at the end of the day but i thought our attitude was shocking today and i dont think Mancini will be too happy either.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Shocking, embarrassing and sickening.

 

[shroom]

Chris Smalling had more offensive bite and want to than any of our front 6.

 

[Easybeatz]

Tevez carried us last season, without him we looked shocking

I think Kompany has taken the term "friendly" a bit too seriously.

Awful performance. A flattering defeat if there's such a thing.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Fair play to the rags. Taught us a lesson today.

Not even going to comment on the City performance, dont have much positive to say.

Agreed, no arguments from me, the better side on the day won and second half wanted it far more than us, simple as, we didn't turn up second half (fitness?) which made the difference even more obvious.

 

[citijin]

definitely united taught us a lesson today. they were much more aggressive and faster in their play.

 

[Silva is the new gold]

Bottled it but some very encouraging signs.

lmfao, what fucking encouargin signs did you see. We got dominated in the first half, two goals against the run of play and the dominated all second half. The very signings I've spent months laughing at the rags for as they were hailing them as great players ripped us apart. We were overpowered by a midfield with Cleverly and fucking Carrick for fuck sake. Fucking despicable. Then our dickhead manager decides not to put Aguero on, fucking disgraceful. Mancini is not good enough, we need Mourinho.

Re: Community Shield Official Post Match Discussion Thread

Defense -- shocking. YaYa the worst player today, no touch, no good passes, nothing.

 

[only1paulsimpson]

embarrassing.

but remember its only a friendly.........

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

people are asking how will we fit the like of nasri schneider and eto in after this display it shows how mediocre our midfield is and sorry but lescott is awfull!

 

[Plain Speaking]

Positives: Silva class, a goal for Dzeko will improve his confidence. I thought Richards played well. Clichy looked good.
Negatives: Balo off the pace. We couldnt keep possession. Sickener to lose after being 2 up.
