Match Thread | Man City vs Leicester Comm Shield (07/08/21)

Why are people in here losing their shit over a charity shield game.
Jeez some weak fans in here.

Bit of a shambles game. Palmer has been impressive though, looks like he belongs out there. Edozie doesn't look good enough, and there's been sloppiness from most of the senior players. Interested to see Mendy playing that almost false-midfielder role that Cancelo enjoyed last season. Not doing too badly, I don't think.

Best hope is that we can just nick a scrappy goal and hope Leicester don't put away one of their chances - I don't feel like it means much when it's Leicesters strongest XI and our B/C team.

90 min Grealish winner! It’s happening

Then kiss the badge during his celebration

Putting 4 past Blackpool and Preston doesn't prepare you for facing a near full strength Leicester at Wembley on national tv. We're doing ok all things considered albeit looking quite rusty.

Hi EB nice to see you posting hope you’ve had a good break from the mayhem

Hi, thanks, yes I’m looking forward to being back at the Etihad on the 21st but I doubt there will be any away matches this season unfortunately! Great to see the ‘old’ hands posting for the matches. :-)

Just said to Leicester fan in my boozer after that save it'll be a 97 min winner off Mendy's arse.

I will take that too! Lol

 

[jimharri]

I'll take 0-0. We're second best out there by some way.

Could itv not find any blues for the panel, poor show

Could have hired you and gave us all a break on here; )

We've not even been that bad. Leicester can be a fantastic side and they're showing it at times. Some of their play has been very sophisticated, and they're opening up our wide defensive areas well.

 

[jimharri]

You're going to have a busy season ahead :)

Tell me about it.

Welcome to the match day forum. Total nonsense and continuous slagging off our players. Nothing changes!!

Posts slagging off the matchday thread aren’t a change, that’s for sure.

I don't want to lose 3-0 on pens.

I will crack open another beer if he does that! Lol

He's playing exactly like he did every time he was a 9 last season.

No involvement in the game, completely unable to hold the ball up, will probably score a big chance if someone gives him one.

Which is fair comment but isn’t that the same as when he was on the wing? I just feel he hasn’t found his feet yet. One thing I’d like him or club to do is for him to add more muscles. He’s not rapid so a little for muscle should be ok so that he can at least shield the ball better.

Feels like Pep is giving the seniors a rest..and if you win..you win...bigger fish to fry than this game.

Don't let Mendy have any more fry ups!

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Pre season friendly to try and improve match fitness. Passing, shooting, positioning and ball retention all look rusty, as we did last pre season. How did that end folks?

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

Even if we do get Kane, letting Jesus go because Torres CAN play up there is such a big mistake.

Agreed. The problem is that I imagine he's one of the players that wants a move.

Match day thread 3/10
Let's get stuck in second half
to this group of useless shite. :-)

 

[heslops barnet]

I'll take 0-0. We're second best out there by some way.

Looking forward to penalties then?
