MCFC v Sporting Lisbon Match Thread
- Thread starter WeaverWonderland
- Start date
It was a friendly with a side the won't even start the Carling Cup games don't beat yourselves up to much! No where near the first eleven
Does that excuse playing utter shite from start to finish. Even the commentators were mystified, they were expecting a bit more from the richest club in the world, just one effort on goal would of been enough. They said this was a big chance to win some fans in North America, not playing shite like that it wont. Shambolic is the word to describe what i just seen.

An all round piss poor performance - the team don't look fit. At least i hope its a fitness thing and not a motivation thing.

We've still got quite a few friendlies to go before the season kicks off. In terms of the tour's commercial aspect (which is what it's really all about for us), the American popular spotlight is all on the Red Bulls following the Henry signing. We'll be more likely to parade some senior names for the cameras.
Fella had i been a City player there tonight i would have worked my fookin socks off to earn a place in the 25 - what more fookin motivation do you need.
I see your point mate. To be honest, I did expect more from those players perceived to be on shaky ground.

I know it was a friendly but what happened to the new "winning mentality" ?
Friendly or not it was a competitive game and we should have at least made a
pretence of wanting to win it. Very disappointed , hope we show a bit more
will to win on Sunday.
Micah Richards as Captain !!!!!????

sporting are match ready and fielded a strong team.
brilliant game for the younger and fringe players to take part in.
apart from jo and viera,whom i dont think contribute much,everyone played ok apart from being off the pace.
