It will be interesting to see, not only who will turn out for us, but who will be left to turn out for Chelsea. What have they done this transfer window and who will be their manager?

How negative is that....haha!!!. We played badly against Everton the season before last so I didn't go to watch the Everton game last season????????.

I think he means we were not full strength in 2014 and got tonked 3-0. We are not going full strength this year so it's only one for the die hards IMO. Not worth more than £25

Hopefully, Loftus Cheek is unavailable because that would indicate we made the World Cup Final

Was looking at the last World Cup.. Zabaleta and Demichelis played on 13/07, and they returned to training 04/08, with Charity Shield that year being 10/08 and opener 17/08 (which Demichelis started and Zab made the bench). Using that as a guide for training and returns (3 weeks holiday is the norm by looks of it), Here's a theoretical return of the squad

9th July - Non WC
Bravo, Hart, Adabayario, Mangala, Denayer, Laporte, Zinchenko, Sane, Foden, Nmecha, Diaz, Roberts, Tom Dele-Bashiru

[20TH JULY DORTMUND ]

23rd July WC players that went out 30/06:

Ilkay Gundogan
Bernardo Silva
David Silva
Nicolas Otamendi
Sergio Aguero​

[25th JULY LIVERPOOL)
[28TH JULY BAYERN)

30th July WC players likely to exit 06/07
De Bruyne

Kompany​

[5TH AUGUST - CHELSEA)
6th August, WC players likely to be in Semi Final or Final of WC upto 15th July.

Ederson
Danilo
Fernandinho
Gabriel Jesus
Fabian Delph
John Stones
Kyle Walker
Raheem Sterling
Benjamin Mendy​

[11TH AUGUST - ARSENAL]

Ederson; Delph, Laporte, Otamendi, Walker; Jorginho, D. Silva, Gundogan; Sané, Aguero, Mahrez.

Should beat a scratch Chelsea team under a new manager.

Our last charity shield performance in 2014 was a disgrace.
The team did not try and disrespected the fans who were at the game that day.
That and the fact that the whole Wembley 'experience' is crap means tv viewing for me this time.

The fact Boyata is nowhere near it this time means I will be going

And Our Willy never rose to the occasion either.

Wasn't just Boyata, whole team wasn't arsed.

 

[BlueAnorak]

KO time not yet sorted out either.

Agree, as Zubrman states Willy also put in a limp performance but Boyata got found out big time
