He must be sat there thinking "Is this what I came for? Playing against Madrid in front of 100,000 people when I could have been lining up against a Malaysian X1" Poor bastard must be distraught but I feel he'll probably get over it.

Sky News update on the sport: Man City lose 4-1 to Real Madrid "so a disappointing end to City's tour of America."
The fuckers don't even know where we are touring.

No need to get upset. just add the two CB's ages .... 36
I bet there haven't been many times that Jason Denayer has been the senior centre-back!
I didn't see the match, as I was at work, but Mrs Vienna said we were holding our own until Delph went off and Denayer and Humphries did well, considering who they were up against.
Getting beaten by Real Madrid is no disgrace.
However, pre-season friendly is no excuse for the poor level of performance put in by so many senior players. Playing in front of almost 100k people in a televised match you would think would be motivation enough for said players to focus and bring their A game.
So either they have a poor attitude or they are just not good enough. I think the latter.
The problem is it could take several seasons to overhaul the squad and bring in the necessary quality. This added to the complete lack of defensive organisation imprinted on the team leads me to believe we may well be waiting longer for the next trophy than we all hope.
Pelegríni didn't take it serious either because bottom line it's about looking a players and fitness
Talk about overreaction.....FFS this place sometimes...Getting beaten by Real Madrid is no disgrace.

Pretty much that, great experience for them both to play against that standard, and they weren't helped much by the senior players around them. I was a bit surprised that Mangala didn't get a game, and considering who we didn't even have out there, this result is hardly a surprise.I didn't see the match, as I was at work, but Mrs Vienna said we were holding our own until Delph went off and Denayer and Humphries did well, considering who they were up against.
Chelsea lost 4-2 yesterday to New York Red Bulls to put it in some sort of perspective.

Well despite the commentators saying we were well second best at HT, the shots was 4-4 and the possession 52% to City, which was about way it went. We weren't very good in their area, whereas they put 3 away, but all via the two rookie CBs.
Still dont ruin a million good 'City thrashed' headlines
