2 points if you win the shootout and 1 if you lose.

Top man !!!

Exactly that

Oh right sorry only glanced up cheers

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Exactly that

It's only a bleeding friendly but penalties always get the heart going.

That's actually quite a cool idea... if we adopted that for every game in the premiership you'd imagine that England would be great at pen shoot outs - also be more entertaining for fans etc

I'm in the job centre on my iPhone trying pretend I'm looking for a job :)

I'm not a 'boo boy' or a 'hater', completely the reverse, but if Kolorov isn't bothered, he should be.

I'm talking about the shit heads who love to continually slag particular players for every little thing. I'm sure kolarov isn't happy about missing a penalty but in the big scheme of things missing one in a pre season friendly is really not worth getting too bothered. You just shrug it off and go on to the next match.

I loved that game, apart from the ref...

 

[oakiecokie]

Maybe I am being overly critical, but it wasn't right in the corner at all.

Where have I stated that it went into the corner ?

 

[Worst Case Ontario]

Pjanic goal wasnt that good when I saw it on replay now, studio guys also seem to think that

 

[DTKOAG]

A great work out and learning curve for the young lads.

There would only be about two thou watching it at the Etihad so wouldn't help much with the players nerves in a world cup though

Denayer was the stand out of the 2nd half performers for me. Apart from the bad pass that gave Hart some problems he played well and looked good bringing the ball out of defence. Kelechi deserved his goal for some tireless running and his first touch was good that led to a decent finish. Felt a little sorry for Lopes and Barker who couldn't get into the game once we decided to let Roma keep the ball although both had decent moments.

This is what i took from the match also.

Ha, same mate. Outwardly I'm all "It's only a friendly - fitness innit" but inwardly I was shitting it.

I can't seem to delete this out of my post reply bit so fook it

Lopes needs get some time playing with Silva, like Garcia did.
