I started that thread cause no one else would and it was definitely started after or day of multiple other season threads were started (pretty sure it was July). Of course you have to go all holier than thou on when to start the season thread...

With no LB and multiple academy/bench players on for both goals against a full senior squad.

I'm starting a collection to help fund City's Mbappe purchase. Goal is somewhere around 200m Euro if any of you want to pitch in.

Let's go a little deeper this off-season. Do we think the formation tonight is peps favored formation? Is yaya a lock or does the 5 in the back allow for kun, Jesus, silva, silva, and de bruyne? Do we wish pep would give some of the young guys some real first team games over middling guys, I. E. Foden, tosin, brahim over mangala, delph, fernando? Lastly, how can we not sell nasri, he belongs somewhere or is it just a case of everyone knows we want to get rid of him that they are looking for a bargain?

Hope you all watched that goal by Spanish Messi.


It's too bad Sancho decided to throw a tempertantrum this off-season.


Team looks so much better with proper fullbacks. Danilo already fitting in nicely in his first game.

I know it was short and in the academy part of the match, but Duhaney even impressed me

it's a case of everyone knowing he's a POS cancer. No team wants to deal with his attitude. He only occasionally tries. He's basically the midfield Balotelli.

Such a shame too bc he's so damn talented. His career could have been so different.

No. I think Pep will change it up constantly like he always seems to do lol. It looked good though. KDB had tons of space and Sterling seemed to feed off of the tighter marking Madrid tried to implement on KDB in the second half.

Yaya is a lock for the squad. Now play time may be less than what people are expecting, especially once Gundogan gets healthy. Dinho will also slide in there.

Delph and Fernando are gonna be gone. Mangala is interesting. I think if we do decide to run the three in the back regularly then keeping 5 CB's should be in the plan w/ Tosin as the No. 5.

Foden looked a bit shaky tonight, but still way beyond his years. Brahim still has some work to do. He keeps his head down too much when he tries to run w/ the ball. They will both get opportunities in the cups I'd assume though.

Nasri has oddly looked sharp in the two appearances he's had. I don't think he'll stay, the thing is, is that everyone knows City are trying to get rid of him, like w/ Mangala apparently, and because of that, no one wants to pay and is trying to wait it out.

The transfer record is going to be broken bc of hyper inflation. Everyone needs to get over it. Ronaldo's fee was insane relative to all other fees at time.

Stop letting jackasses like SCH make you feel like it's wrong. Look at what they paid to Pogba and his agent. You think they regret it or feel like it was wrong?
