Match Thread | Man City vs. Man Utd FA Community Shield (10/08/24)

Forgotten how rotten the matchday thread is lol

Not rotten just over the top. There are problems but people are phrasing it very harshly.

 

[OntarioBlue]

We keep leaving huge spaces for our opponents to run into and make passes. Against a better team we’d be in trouble.

McCoist is seriously annoying

As bad as it gets. Gets on my tits from minute 1 and never shuts up. An endless stream of drivel and cliches.

 

[argyle]

We definitely need another midfielder and striker.

Glad the club has once again left it late to bring players in for Pep.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Far, far too easy for United's attack. It's just a couple of passes then clipped pass for a runner.

Yup combined with acres of space

 

[SiMCFC]

Feel like we have played well considering the 2 teams, the young lads haven't looked out of place, we just seem a bit impotent up front and defensively very very open still.

I'm a bit worried that this season (especially with Alvarez gone) that every game is just going to be us trying to pump balls to Haaland, the problem being, stick 2 defenders on him and with his back to goal it's a total waste.

 

[Working Man's Blues]

Luckily St.Marcus has his shooting boots on the wrong feet...

 

[bondsman]

A bit worrying that we are starting the season how we ended it with United showing everyone the pockets of space we leave.

LB and CM required.

 

[heslops barnet]

With our penalty form we might as well just walk off at full time

 

[footballmanager]

So, so easy to get in behind us. Goodness me

this team cant cope without rodri but the defending was abysmal all pre season and was bad last season too
