Man City (N) - Community Shield, Sat 30th Jul 2022 (5:00pm)

Decent half that, good first 25 mins or so. Then Abu Dhabi took over, and we didnt manage to win it back high enough up the field to be a real threat.

 

Two very good teams obviously, could still go either way this.

 

Think Thiago has been brilliant, Salah looked very sharp as did Diaz. All the others decent, Robertson maybe our weakest player. And Henderson good in the pressing, and overall decent, but could have cost us early on when he let them in by pulling out of a challenge. 
 

If we manage to win it off them a bit closer to their goal we could cause them a lot of problems in the second half. 
 

Come on Reds!

 

Edit: The ref has looked like a man on a mission, so gonna be interesting to see if he can help them turn it around.

Bit awkward with Keane in the studio - guess they won’t ask him about Haaland’s Dad!

Didn't Alf Haaland play the very next game for Leeds?

I will never, ever, get fans like City's. Their team is on the attack, just outside our area, and what are they doing? They're singing about Steven Gerrard.

Look, it's still a pre-season game, win lose or draw, but we do look revved.

 

Need more from Henderson as the 8.

Why are City wearing an 80s Aston Villa kit today?

[J-V]

Save Adrian,

 

Robertson can't defend.

[m0e]

We've been excellent,  with Thiago the pick of the bunch.

 

Mahrez is their danger man.

The only songs they have of their own are Blue Moon and one about Shaun Goater.

Wait, that’s not right.

 

They also have a version of Allez which celebrates a Liverpool fan getting badly beaten and that one that goes ‘City, City, the best football team in the land’ which doesn’t rhyme, have rhythm or scan and is fucking awful.

 

Give ‘em some credit, they’re new to this.

Not simply that. Arsenal fans do it too. So do fans of other clubs that ought to have better things to think about. I just find it weird for any fan of a club. I give the other team a nano-second of thought. I'm just not interested.

Like to see Carvalho on soon.
