Can United give the ball away. They always give the ball away.

Our passing...when will the day arrive when we are competent at passing for 90 min?

When we have a different manager.

Rename it the mega shield and that might change opinion

Play the first half in LA and then fly out to Abu Dhabi for the second half. Penalties in Bangkok.

Has Mount touched the ball yet?

there are war crimes being committed in gaza that are less offensive than the design of the names and numbers on the back of the city shirts.

Was thinking the same. Well, not quite the same… But yeah. Very graphic design is my passion energy on the kit names for Man City

Feel like the lack of a good transfer muppet saga contributed to it. The FDJ and Sancho summers were intense.

True, updating the transfer thread every 5min only to get disappointed does tend to slow things down.

I watched that Rosenborg friendly in full & this is even more boring..

Why do City use a font that looks like a kid's written their names on the back?

Because they think they're a big club, and they think that's what big clubs do.

How come the Community Shield is seen as a glorified friendly but teams rate the Super Cup?

If they would call it English Super Cup they would rate it.

Well, he haven’t gotten any better.

I didn't expect to with mostly the same players. Reckon we might look better second half with garnacho and maybe some minutes for zhirzee

Martinez at lb means we don't have a lb that travels and it also means ball in between lines from middle disappeared

Great movement so far.

Defence gave up there

I’d take 45. I really don’t know what our coaches do day in day out.

I think they struggle to reproduce what they do during training during real games which may mean that on top of technical deficiencies, our players could lack mental strength and confidence

DWelbz19 · Aug 10, 2024

Imagine if Doku knew what to do after he got past a player. Would be incredible

Blood Mage · Aug 10, 2024

Bolstering our defence is all well and good but this midfield is not fit for purpose at all and Ugarte alone won't help us keep the ball better.

mav_9me · Aug 10, 2024

How easily did he go past Maguire?

lex talionis · Aug 10, 2024

Shit so far, but no cause for concern whatsoever. We just want to get through this without new injuries.

That was a good game to be fair.

amolbhatia50k · Aug 10, 2024

Aside from Amad taking a bad touch, I don’t think he’s got the ball once? Don’t recall Mount getting it either. We just resort to whacking it long - hit and hope footy

Widow · Aug 10, 2024

If Doku finds the elusive end product, he'll be some player!

Woodzy · Aug 10, 2024

All of Rashford’s pre-season sharpness seems to have dissipated the moment we kicked off for a competitive game.

Not going to take any excuses this year, there’s enough good players on the pitch to play good football and so far City under 21s are passing us of the park.

Amsterdam Devil · Aug 10, 2024

Martinez and Mainoo hardly involved up until now. Amad also very quiet after his good pre-season games. Mount invisible.

The reports were of pre season sharpness were greatly exaggerated.

jamesjimmybyrondean · Aug 10, 2024

Looks like we actually want to play from the back this season though it’s been very poor so far

None of our front 4 have had anything other than long balls punted to them so far.

Dazzmondo · Aug 10, 2024

Doku destroyed our defence there

Yes, not surprisingly.

mu4c_20le · Aug 10, 2024

Luckily its just a friendly

mav_9me · Aug 10, 2024

We are never going to be able to pass the ball under pressure with Maguire/Evans and Casemiro in front of them.

Half the players aren’t fit :lol:

Who is Onana passing to? This style of play is nonsensical

At some point people are going to have to accept that keeping the ball is not a priority for Ten Hag.
