Haaland is such a boringly limited footballer.

Amazing scorer mind, but don't watch him for the beauty of the game.

 

[One Night Only]

Zirkzee for Mount could be interesting. Mount in that false 9 role seems a bit useless.

Mount on a football pitch seems a bit useless.

I hate the font on the back of the City shirts. Is it italics?

The more Amad, the more I wonder why the feck he wasn't given more chances before. It's not like it was rocket science either. See good player + shit competition= play him more

My biggest fear is that either Garnacho or Amad is dropped to keep Rashford in the starting XI, which is inexcusable based on over a year of competitive performances

 

[Dazzmondo]

Casemiro's been great despite everyone acting like it's impossible for him to have a better season than last year. In general think he's been encouraging in pre season. People just piled on the few incomplete passes he made and ignored all the good stuff

 

[lex talionis]

Why the feck was Amad not given a look in last season?

I asked the same question last season and was told here Anad was shit, nowhere near good though for United.

 

[Berbaclass]

Nearly Mount…

 

[FerociousCorgis]

Wtf is point of water break 5 minutes before half

 

[Hammondo]

Mount on a football pitch seems a bit useless.

I'm not sure what he provides for us.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

feck. Close from Doku.

 

[kaku06]

I hate to be harsh, but that’s a horrifying finish by Rashford.

What’s harsh about that?

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

I'm excited to see Amad get regular gametime this season. It's refreshing to see a RW dribble past his full back with ease!

 

[gerdm07]

No one will pay his current wages.

I can't believe we signed him for 4 years.

 

[Pronewbie]

I hate the font on the back of the City shirts. Is it italics?

In contrast I've always loved ours.

 

[DarkLord1984]

Just need to remember that, we are playing this City without Rodri...
Another level of attacking and defensive if he is on the pitch..

I hate him almost as much as I hate Pep. Wish they'd both feck off already.

 

[Bastian]

My biggest fear is that either Garnacho or Amad is dropped to keep Rashford in the starting XI, which is inexcusable based on over a year of competitive performances

Rashford will be given 2-3 matches to see whether he can start scoring again. But he won't get the same leeway as he did last season. Amad is undroppable at this point.

 

[Andycoleno9]

We desperately need new fitness coaches. Casemiro limping.

 

[kouroux]

I hate him almost as much as I hate Pep. Wish they'd both feck off already.

He is the perfect incarnation of Pep's arrogance on the pitch

 

[moodyred]

We are slightly the better team.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

You'd have thought that but then why did they keep him and give him a new contract after the garbage of last season

In hindsight it would have been harsh to fire him after winning the FA Cup, despite how atrocious the season was and his management. That and the lack of real options as alternatives is what saved him his job I think.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Can tell it's the first preseason game for a few of them

 

[Malons]

Whisper it but Casemiro is looking good.

He's mounting an extraordinary comeback?

 

[Von Mistelroum]

Are the names on the back of City shirts written in Comic Sans?

 

[lex talionis]

Rashford has been disappinting, though not quite shit. Is Garnacho on the bench?

 

[gerdm07]

Casemiro's been great despite everyone acting like it's impossible for him to have a better season than last year. In general think he's been encouraging in pre season. People just piled on the few incomplete passes he made and ignored all the good stuff

A DM should make one bad pass a match. Cas is good for 4 or 5 a match and that doesn't work at this level.

 

[santeria13]

Rashford will be given 2-3 matches to see whether he can start scoring again. But he won't get the same leeway as he did last season. Amad is undroppable at this point.

I hope you're right

 

[mitchmouse]

Same. Deserves a run of games to prove himself and gain even more confidence. Looks like the sort who needs it.

miles ahead of the other contenders right now, with garno on the other side... trouble is ETH keeps picking rashford

 

[Doracle]

My biggest fear is that either Garnacho or Amad is dropped to keep Rashford in the starting XI, which is inexcusable based on over a year of competitive performances

Rashford looks very sharp today (bar the bad finish). I think we will start the season with these two but having Garnacho eager to come in is a great position for us to be in. Will definitely keep the pressure on Marcus. Fingers crossed that all three can stay fit as there are plenty of matches for them all to play.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Only Shaw and Lindelof are not on the bench.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Can't believe there's only 2 minutes of stoppage time.

 

[kouroux]

I hope you're right

I hope he proves us all wrong. Whether we like it or not, we need him to score goals this season

 

[Blood Mage]

Hoping to see Zirkzee in the second half.

 

[Pronewbie]

Never thought I'd see the day post Fergie where City struggle to handle our pressing high up the pitch.

What game are you watching?

 

[Amsterdam Devil]

It’s a bit boring so far, but that’s better than being outplayed by City. So come on now, win it in the second half.

 

[RedIan]

Decent first half, we grew into the game. Amad is clearly our biggest threat.
The defence are playing well and Casamiro is looking much better than last season.

 

[BuzzKillington]

Played some decent stuff there after a shaky start. Let’s have a look at Zirkzee in the second.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Well that was pretty boring , a few clearly not fully match fit

 

[edgecutter]

Rashford and mount should be doing a hell of a lot better than what they are showing.
