We lost to a team who scored and put everyone behind the ball, attacking where possible. Big deal, we had no Stevie Ireland who is the heartbeat of our creativity and we had no Carlos Tevez.
This consisted of a team including the likes of Tal Ben Haim, Javan Vidal, Vladmir Weiss - these are not going to be first team regulars anytime soon!
Adebayor had his first game in a City shirt and should have scored twice in my opinion. Petrov looked somewhere near back to his best and I hope he stays. His crosses could be a very big part in utilising the strengths of Manny and Roque. We're building our fitness up and then the goals will come - calm down and let the good times roll. Stop being such bloody drama queens for god sake.
You are obviously a big Petrov fan because I thought that he was pretty poor today. At one point in the first half he gave a good pass down the left to Adebayor who got to the ball near the corner flag and was stuck there. He held the ball up waiting for support with Petrov nowhere to be seen until we lost the ball. Whenever Petrov has played he always looks lazy to me.
You're forgetting "Gutless" too

What will you give to Petrov?
A Free !

Sorry Bert but in what way was it obvious. I can be convinced that I missed something but please clarify your comment.
Because he looked sluggish, off the pace and slow.

this. i have no problems with people pointing out the negatives and positives as long as its restricted to today's performance.
Liverpool have also won just 1 of their 3 pre season games, with just one goal to show for it. Couldn't beat the illustrious Thailand.
While everybody is disappointed when City lose, there are more than enough positives to take from the game, with the promise of Richards, Tevez and Ireland to return and perhaps Lescott as an addition to the defence.

Yes, we were terrible but it's only a friendly pre season game.

Adebayour with 3 or 4 games playing with Robinho - will be quite a pair. Not so sure about Petrov - still seemed off the pace and his touch was poor.
