Community shield Post match thread

Not a great fan of game like this or indeed counting it as a 4th trophy last season. To me this game is just about fitness for the start of the season and Pep obviously wanted a good number of players to play 90 mins and you could see the players tire in the 2nd half. I would have been gutted to have lost this match to the Dippers as they would be claiming it was the 1st of 7 trophies they are playing for this year. So for that reason....thank goodness we won !
 
And there was Tyler questioning the accuracy of goal line technology! I wish to god I'd found an Arabic stream, or a f**king Chinese one! His commentary is just an irritating dirge.

It's still more accurate then the assistants eye sight and guaranteed to be in the right place, every time.
Even if it's not totally accurate, the twat forgets it's the same for everyone.

7 trophies and they I bet they don't win one.
 
PEP We won on penalties. You can win, you can lose. The hunger is there. For this part of the season the game was tremendously demanding. We had a really good first half, but after we couldn’t control the switch of play, the long balls, the duels.

PEP I don't think there will be just two contenders to win the Premier League. There will be many this time. The difference today was one penalty. It’s good to face them to see how well prepared we have to be to try and win the titles.

PEP Everyone made an incredible contribution but @C1audioBravo won the game. He is an incredible second keeper. He saved the game many times today and of course, he had to save the penalty. After what happened (injury), he is not a young guy. I was really impressed.

Posting that last one must have hurt you to the core!
 
Manchester City become the first side to retain the Community Shield since Manchester United in 2011.

Pep Guardiola: "An incredible final. We’re exhausted. They [Liverpool] had chances to win and we had chances to win too - a good test for both teams. It’s nice to play to realise what we’re going to face this season."

"We won, last season we won one more point than them. Congratulations to the guys - the first title of the season is ours."

Kevin De Bruyne: "It’s always gonna be tough. We defended well at times, we could have scored, they could have scored. It was a really open game. The good thing is we always play the same system so we know what we have to do."

"Some guys came back this week and others a few weeks. It’s really important we get the fitness up. For most of the guys it was the first 90 minutes of the season."

Kyle Walker on THAT clearance: "I'm a defender. I stop goals."

Pep Guardiola on Rodri: "It was maybe the highest test he can face - the Champions of Europe. I thought he had an incredible game."
