We were fucked 2nd half and they are obviously further along in their prep. Hopefully this will get us close and we’ll be ready for Saturday. Gundogan is nowhere near currently, after such a good season last year. Hopefully Sane is ok, and tells Munich to do one.
After we lost to united in 2012 Kompany said the reason we looked so tired in the second half was because the players had been put through the toughest week of pre season, including the two days leading up to the game. The following week we followed a normal pre match build up and looked fine. Since then I’ve always found it reassuring if we look a bit sluggish a week before the season starts.

We probably are a bit behind where we should be. De Bruyne certainly didn’t seem impressed by pre season. But I thought it was great preparation for the pl. Sure we would all like to have put Liverpool to the sword, but it was a great workout for the defence and much better than a walkover. Also dispels the possibility of complacency
 
Feels really good to win it and if the club's calling us 'Formidables', it's pretty important to them to do so too.

I’ve been watching Sony Ten 2 with Tyler commentary, he gave us one positive comment all game


Ah ok. Not surprised- he’s been working with Neville for too long & has absorbed the hate. Unlike clever Nev - he can’t disguise it
 
Barring fitness, we were the better team and for at least half the game, we controlled it bar the odd counter. Raheem was brilliant and Rodri was superb on the ball, beginning many attacks. There are some very good signs.

Really ? ... do you all honestly believe that? It was 1st half City 2nd half Liverpool. Either team could have won it.
 
Should have finished them off at the start of the second half.
Bravo great and that clearance of the line by Walker? Was amazing.
Gundogan cameo takes over from Kolorov as the worst ever.lol
 
city looked vunerable and liverpool looked classy all second half , you can be excited as much as you like about winning a penalty shoot out but you didnt win the match

We won the match. It is an indisputable fact.

Thankfully for you, we were missing our number one defender, key central midfielder and the best striker in the Premier League.

we ACTUALLY won but I know what you mean. But there again your lot could have been 3-0 down in the first half, game over.
