[Ludo]

It's 16:00 BST to be pedantic

[Swiss]

I could have said that but I didn't want to sound like an arse...

[Ludo]

Doesn't annoy me, I've been called worse.

[clevblue]

on here at 4pm

[clevblue]

the usual shit defence from us, and we can't get past them in attack. Ah well, it's only a practice game

[Ludo]

Jesus, we are crap.

[City Slicker]

Same old same old! First goal straight down the middle, getting run ragged an now its 3!!!

[clevblue]

3-0 down, I'm SO glad I watched this game. I was going for a coffee....

[Ludo]

4-0 down to a team that just about avoided relegation last season.

Our midfield really needs work.

[chocovla]

Well there's always next season..

[KunDB]

It is a friendly but this is embarrassing.

[gavin]

Only just got in to see the score but it looks bad in the last game before the season starts. The defence was the worry last season and I see no reason for it to improve this season at the moment.

[clevblue]

Let's hope Pelle agrees

[KunDB]

A bit better after our very late brace, but Stuggart had 7 shots, 5 on target, out of which they scored 4.

Lulling West Brom into a false sense of security


Missed the live match but got the updates while I was out.
Sounded like:
Sagna had a mare: does not fill me full of confidence.
Kompany and Mangala does not work
Kolorov got some good marks for last ditch defending

A 4-3-3 with both Nasri and Silva does not work (How did Evans do?)
Sterling plays better coming in from the left: Needs to keep his shots down/ on-target
Bony...Still making my mind up, do we play to his strengths? I'm not so sure.
Not much mentioned about Navas but if he's kept high up the pitch then we're not playing to his strengths of his speed.
Ian Nacho & Sterling seem to link well (And Silva and Sterling)
There were too many holes all over the pitch and positioning wasn't really adhered to (internet report stated)

[zacc]

didn't get to see the game just watched the highlights on OS
It looked like a game of the proverbial 2 halves with the defense being as easy to get through as a hot knife through butter!!
Appear to be all  City with lots of not put away chances.

[Swiss]

all the goals here

[ebm1991]

Defended much better second half without Kompany.   

[Swiss]

What was the midfield line up then?
