Post-Match Thread: Manchester City v Supersport United

[sk3ptical]

I know you weren't being serious, but look at Bayern for example, sweeping teams aside like it's nothing. Clearly not everyone is rusty.

Bayern played a 4th division side... if we played Bury we'd probably win 6-0 too.

From what i can see Supersport are far from the best side in africa ...... ...

how did the rags do

I didn't watch the game, so i'd like to know which system we played, a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, thanks.

4-4-1-1

Lol guys it's pre-season calm down. Also if you've seen Pelligrini's latest interview with CityTV(youtube), you'll see that he said that pre-season doesn't matter to him until the last couple of weeks before the league starts.

 

[sam-caddick]

as a premier league side - pre season or not - i expected better football.

i suppose performances will be looked at more when the team are all together and manuel starts to play his desired first eleven.

i just hope we can get all of our current squad together and if we can most if not all of our signings done and dusted by the time we head to asia.

the real test will come when we play milan, and then if we beat them most likely it will be bayern munich. if we can win those two games, what a confidence boost it will give us going into the champions league next season.

Unfair comparison as Bayern are on a different planet to us in footballing terms.

or how about Arsenal today? 7-0 win

Aye with a very strong team out

 

[Mountaineer]

We should probably hold off on the heavy criticism until a few more games, especially some competitive ones. You can't change years of another manager's work over night.

Did fernandinho play?

yeah the first half mate he looked quality..

 

[OB1]

I know Kun, Navas and Silva are missing but we are woefully short of creativity / attacking options as it stands.

Well.......


yeah....

And it needs addressing. Pellegrini says that we won't rush signings so we may have to wait to judge our resources properly.
