Match Thread | Man City vs Yokohama (22/07/23)

Grealish in the local nightclub.

Twice

If people haven’t heard or didn’t know, the opponents are months into their season.

Wasting my time but please try and remember that before giving the lads abuse.

Excellent point. A second one: they'll be much more used to playing in this level of humidity. Most of them grew up in it. Japanese summers can be hellishly humid.

 

[WallyA]

Terrible half by Akanji.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Viking will score 6 in second half.

:)

 

[Goater=Legend]

Let's not pretend he just proved every critic wrong.

He ran toward the goalkeeper. That was it. Been incredibly poor other than that.

But people are calling him out for making mistakes whilst everyone else is, hes been no worse than Akanji or Grealish

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

No one hates him mate. It’s just calling it out for what it is he doesn’t look like he can play for us. Simple as.

Personally, he looks a nice lad who’s done well for himself. But in all honesty I don’t really give a fuck how he is as a person I’m arsed about how he performs for City and since he’s signed he’s been nothing short of woeful. This first half won’t help him either so let’s hope he drastically improves.

Rodri want so good in his first season. Grealish etc etc. Etc

You're just boring. Every season got to have someone to hate. But go for it, not stopping you.

 

[manimanc]

Enjoyed that. Nothing better than coming back from the dead.
That's why we're champions..

 

[I'm Blue]

Fun half that

Yeah at least it’s been entertaining

 

[oakiecokie]

Disappointed with McAtee and I`m a massive fan of his.

 

[RayCTID]

Nothing new in that half. Going to get better as the game will go on.

 

[Cityfan]

Becoming one of the best players in world football, regardless of position.

Think Kalvin is good but not sure he's that good.

 

[TinFoilHat]

More action in that than most pre season games so far.

 

[N1985]

When you forget momentarily Erling Haaland plays for you, see him warm up and it's like signing him all over again.

 

[deano ou812]

What we looking at doing second half host of changes as in nearly all the eleven or just one or two ..

Yeah, decent 45. They were at it…

Difference is they’ve shown enough in previous games to not get criticised. Haven’t seen anything from Phillips and he’s had the same amount of time as Akanji.

I'm expecting everyone but Ortega off.

 

[WallyA]

Disappointed with McAtee and I`m a massive fan of his.

His first touch at this level is being tested.

He may be silky on the ball, but hes no Merlin when its passed to him, we a bit spoiled by players who can trap a ball cleanly.

 

[Kippaxpete]

Really not sure what the designer was thinking with those shorts.

Don’t match our top at all — looks like we forgot the actual home kit shorts and so raided the training range.

Maybe there's a JD Sports in Tokyo.

 

[hammocity]

Part of me thinks being 6 points down by then would be a good thing as the rest of the league knows we can claw it back and then some.

:)

If it’s 6 points behind the Rags we’ll be up against it, the two most dodgy decisions of last season went for them against us, you just can’t trust the bent officiating in some games. I’m not paranoid, most of the time the refereeing is fair but with the aid of VAR those decisions against us last season we’re utterly bent.
