Seriously I think there’s only about a dozen of us in the ground that know any City songs

I was just going to say our back up fans/tourists are embarrassing

We’re offering no threat up front because there is no supply and little movement.

 

[BLUEisville]

He put the ball out of play to allow multi ball, that’s speeding the game up…nonsense

They got booked for the same. Stupid from Alvarez

We were trying to get on with a free kick when Partey kicked it away is the difference.

All completely valid and sensible interpretations, and it’s guaranteed that refs will change their interpretation of the rule from game to game, so let’s just hope we’re on the good end of the decisions before they quietly put this rule in the bin after week 9 or so.

Have we any City fans there

 

[wolviedinho]

We are doing ok. No clear cut chance creation is a problem. We need to address this problem If possible.

Reminds me when we played false 9. We didn’t score while on top.

 

[Don Karleone]

Stupid from the ref, more like. The ball was out of play according to the linesman, so how can Alvarez be deemed to have kicked it away?

Kicked it away from where the throwing was.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I'm not going to tell you again, Eddy, stop fucking about....

 

[Blackley_Blue]

In the space of a couple of minutes, We've gone from being in complete control (without creating much) to the ball looking like a hot potato.

Watching it but not really bothered how we play and I couldn't give a shit about the result. It's a pre-season friendly FFS!

Just hoping it gives players a bit more sharpness and that nobody gets injured.

Same. I never like to see us lose (if we do), but I really couldn't give a toss about the game. We'll have far bigger fish to fry than this, a glorified pre season friendly.

Not arsed. This is a marathon not a sprint and we always get better and stronger as the season goes on.
