Liverpool (N) | Community Shield | Post-Match

We’re starting behind again this season compared to many other teams.

Did we lose vs W Ham? Will we lose/draw next Sunday? Too early to get nervous.

Yesterday showed we can’t afford to lose Bernardo at any price. Our only creative force as Kev was struggling.

On a serious note what are your thoughts on yesterdays match and the coming season? Nothing can be gained from that gane yesterday as city start slow in most seasons and don’t really perform in friendly matches. It would have been nice to have won the game but it’s not to be and we will have gained an insight into we’re we need to be . As for haaland he will take time to adjust to our play as will our players who will need to play ti his strengths and that miss wasn’t great but he also had one chalked off aswell . Once again both teans will go toe to toe again .

All this nonesense spouted after a clear offside decision against the Liverpool player.

The media love a City-Liverpool community shield but I suspect it isn't helpful to either club's preparations for the new season. Liverpool were clearly much nearer match fitness and I suspect Klopp's aim is the hit the ground running in the hope of recreating the early momentum that took them to the title in 2020. Pep aims to peak by late September so that the team's performances from then on are irresistible. This served us well in the last two seasons but also in 18-19 and 17-18. Pep has had the better of the argument over the years.

Haaland has had rough treatment from the media after yesterday while Alvarez has hardly had a mention! Erling has little to prove - ar 21 he has already shown that he is a goal scorer of the rarest quality but a pre-season which added up to under 45 minutes before yesterday was bound to show when the margins for a number 9 are so fine. Alvarez made us all want to see a lot more of him.

So, the only question for me is can Cityfind that extra yard in time for West Ham?

Anyone thinking our number of preseason games is down to an oversight, or negligence in some way hasn’t been paying attention for the last six seasons. It will be a conscious decision based on the forthcoming season, which will be unique. These are the types of decisions we usually get right. The notion that Pep hasn’t been consulted about this, and that he hasn’t had direct input into the outcome, simply doesn’t bear any objective scrutiny.

You sure they don't just wing it?
There's so many posts on here and the definitely seem knowledgable.

Thought we looked rusty but nothing new there as we always tend to in C S ,think we desperately need to get left back sorted winged it far to long now in that position to good affect in the main but when you come up against top quality we tend to get targeted down there
As for Haaland he will be fine movement and runs really good but midfield was off yesterday

I find it very odd how much people are overreacting to this match. People also overreacted last season when we lost to Spurs, or the season before when we drew with West Brom etc

Every year it’s like peoples memories reset every summer.

Groundhog day after the charity shield game against Leicester and the Spurs league game last season.

Going to take time for a difference in the system. Yesterday at times it looked like we was still playing with the false nine system. Need to get the ball forward quicker and get the best out of Haaland
