Charity Shield

[doctor_mac]

So has Dreamy turned up, or is he licking his wounds after his 'easy victory' prediction? He must be gutted we didn't get spanked.

I think it was clear that neither side were up to speed. Both lacked sharpness.

On our side of the fence. Trent, Fab, Firmino, Hendo all looked particularly leggy.

Disappointing we didn't win but it was still a good sign how much stronger we got as the game went on. I think that showed we are closer to being ready than they are.

 

[Hansern]

City looked exhausted in the last 15 minutes.

I saw the highlights and I thought Becker did quite well. Yes, the goal was his fault, but he made some massive saves that neither Ming or Karius could ever save.

Tbf you'd expect your 70m keeper to do things your 5m & 10m keepers couldn't do.

I think that the performance was positive , Salah could've had a hat trick and attacking wise we were alot sharper overall. In my opinion that performance bodes well for Friday , very well

Indeed, City scored from some ridiculous defending from TAA and some naivety from Salah, they didn't look likely outside of that (Sterling chance don't count as City were being scumbags, and VAR would have pulled it back anyway). We on the other hand should have scored 4 or 5, very positive game.

 

[Judge Jules]

Winning would have been nice but would fundamentally have meant zip. Losing wasn't nice but was equally devoid of any real meaning. Bring on the league.

 

[bluebell]

I had more issues with Salah not passing but rather deciding to take half chances.

 

[Modo]

That's a fair summary of the first half but a bad one of the whole match.

We were by far the better team in the second half.

Yeah you're right, but almost all of the players I criticised were subbed in the second half.

 

[Frogfish]

Just watched the highlights, we were all over them, I didn't realise just how close some of our chances were, and how little they really created, despite their prolonged periods of having the ball and doing sweet FA with it..............

Yeah it pissed me off a little looking at the Sky Sports player ratings, theirs were mostly 7 & 8s and ours 6s. WTF ? It was nothing like that !

 

[Frogfish]

FFS, way to miss the point- we fucking dominated those stats. Every neutral ground nominates a home and away team for lots of practical reasons. Why in the name of fuck does it matter, and why should it 'hurt your eyes'?

Haha I sawa that and couldn't be arsed educating him so thanks Doc. 😉

 

[Dreambeliever]

So much for Dreamy's easy win prediction. We dominated much of the game, and hardly gave them a kick in the second half. That was good.

How the fuck is the goal his fault?
It was from 5 yards out.
Christ.

 

[Silver Sean]

We looked excellent second half I thought, for a friendly. My highlight was Hendo telling Guardiola to shut up.
