Negative match thread ??
Considering there was only probably a dozen posts, that's some stretch
Overall, it was a good game to have. Far more needle in that than playing Paddy Whack Utd, and will probably continue in the next. Started well in the first few mins, but a young City side grew into the half and had the better of the attacking moments without really troubling Karius too often. They probably should have had a pen to be fair.
Enjoyed the game as it went on, especially with the introduction of Mane, Salah etc, from when we had free reign in their half with the ability to move through their inexperienced lines at will.
VVD looked a bit rusty, with far too many stray balls and looked like his concentration wasn't 100%, Jones had a few decent moments but nothing really to show for it, bit aimless up top in the first half (but anything in comparison to our main men usually is), but overall most acquitted themselves to a decent level, though the finishing team looked more the part naturally.
Still waiting to see what's in reserve behind that main threat. BSD tries, but it's hard to see him establishing himself right now, ditto for Origi, so the chances of both being around this season are minimal, moreso now if Sturridge is hanging around.
Bobby is still going to be the glue that holds our attacking philosophy together, and while it'll be interesting to see what support Shaq can offer from the bench in attacking areas, we are still a bit one dimensional in personnel - not an unsurprising fact as these guys are really among the best at their craft, but there are times we'll need an attacking option to slot in without adversely affecting our threat.

FFS grow up!!!
His missus just gave birth so I assume it's related to that.
