Match Thread: City vs Roma

[Yates]

Iheanacho is ready, he just oozes confidence, he won't be fazed by anyone

What's it for?

I think it's medical staff

What would you have said had Sterling scored that ??? Blame the bastard defence and midfield for not closing down.

Watching it from behind the goal, I'm almost certain Hart would have saved it.

Silva is just too good. I don't care if we win, it's just such a pleasure to see this little magician play.

The most impressive thing about Garcia's performance is that he's directly facing against De Rossi.

It's not a friendly against a random Australian team, it's against Roma's strongest team. This is a really good indicator of how these players could perform in the Premier League.

maybe but at the end of the day its just a friendly until they do it in a competitive match i wouldn't judge them

Sorry but for me Zuco will never make it at City as long as his arsehole points downwards.Other than that some good performances from the rest of the youngsters.

Pretty sure the Spanish newspaper Marca voted him in La Liga's worse team of the season?

Nacho is a very cool customer on the ball. Very excited about Garcia's potential also.

Interesting to see that pennos are apparently unknown in Oz.

Encouraging exciting first half. Great start for Sterling and the team. Silva looked unplayable. Manu Garcia did not look out of place and Ihenachio is brave and confident. Pjanic goal was top notch as well but I believe we should be out of sight if the tournamnet organisers did not pick the referee from a trash can on the way to the stadium.

Defensive issues still there but the team has shown high work rate and determination. Sterling's work rate is fantastic ;this is a part of this game that is very underrated and it is exciting to see him, kelechi, Silva and Co linking up.

Roma are a top team, make no mistake but still hopeful that we can get the win even though a lot of changes will ensue but nonetheless there is a lot to be excited about going into the new season.

The Sterling comment is spot on. He really puts himself about, and he works very hard on and off the ball. He is going to be a great asset.

He's the one disappointment for me. Looking at how Garcia is coming along I think we may be done with Zuculini. Doesn't look to have progressed.

You would have been on here screaming what a fantastic goal it was and £44M well spent.Did you see how it dipped.For fucks sake sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition.
