Pre-Season - Atletico Madrid (N) | Pre-Match Thread | Sun 30 Jul 12:40

[Matt Diablo]

Bit of a pisstake if a second pre-season in a few years is disrupted by an entirely predictable rainstorm in Asia. It would be one thing if we had a full pre-season schedule but we're going into yet another Community Shield with next to no minutes in the legs if this gets called off.

It's absolutely ridiculous that they are even considering playing in that.

Call the fucking game off. Organise a friendly behind closed doors in Manchester.

Bit shit when they can blatantly have the Lino in their team.

Playing a shithouse team in shite conditions is hardly ideal!

Cancel it, not worth the risk. We can get a game behind the scenes midweek if Pep thinks we need to replace the lost pitch time.

That lineup, whilst likely to have a couple of changes to it, is one you wouldn't be too surprised to see against Burnley, and even with a full squad named, it looks very very light in attack.

We've got the quality and bodies in defence with or without gvardiol but we need at least 1 and I wouldn't argue against a second ready made option for the front 5. Txiki's got a fair bit of work to do, moreso than he would normally have left this close to the season starting.

Hurry up and make a decision if it's on or not.

I'm sat in my City shirt but looking like its not happening today and I want to go out rather than listen to David James!!!!

Should have played it in Manchester with this weather!

bit worried next weekend vs Arsenal we will be very much behind in terms of fitness they played already 4 games plus one more soon, started pre season a good 1.5-2 weeks earlier too, while we played two games so far and today may or may not go ahead but with the pitch being as shit as it is I dont expect much of heavy running as that woud be quite dangerous on the pitch like huge sprints etc. everyone should te it bit more ess serious that goes to Atetico too before they try some heavy tackles flying in.
