Match Thread | Manchester City Vs Sunderland (13/08/16)

Happened may times last season when we really needed a goal we didnt even test their keeper.

since Defoe scored their keeper only had one cross to catch thats all. (And not much before that apart from the pen.)

Heard a rumor that we bought that Barca GK? What's the news from that side of the pond?

Can he score goals? And does he track back?

Pep need to figure out a way to get past the bus.. We'll be facing it a lot this season.

The players are confused it seems. It is the first game of the season and they will get better and fitter but they should get more traditional now with their play and get the second goal.

No Karen. Just stating the obvious. The football is ponderous and lacking invention.

The game has been 99% control which is something that was sorely lacking last season. The comfort in the system, and with it, goals...will come yet.

I think the score flatters sunderland greatly, and city just haven't been incisive enough at certain points, which is a smelly leftover of the pellegrini era.

People should be taking positives from this. Also the commentary team themselves also touched on the fact sunderland have played 2 more games at this point.
