Where did Ramsey even come from? All i could see was Sanchez and Songo and then out of nowhere popped Ramsey for the goal.

City midfield too busy walking back from their attack

Laziest city team i've seen in ages

 

[phaze]

Dat Szczesny pass was hilarious.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Southampton so good that they will get two cl spots.

:lol nice

 

[dc89]

Well out big Willy!

 

[Infernostew]

1. Liverpool
2. Arsenal
3. Everton
4. Southampton



Believe.

How can Liverpool finish both 1st and 4th?

 

[Abraxas]

Sanchez ffs. Sanogo again, looking for the assist again.

 

[Juz]

noooo Sanchez

 

[Scum]

Another trophy for Free.

Really surprising scoreline.

Not surprised at all.

 

[Freewheelin']

Sagono is like me in fifa clubs hahahahaha

City midfield too busy walking back from their attack

Laziest city team i've seen in ages

Missing Fernandinho

 

[Manager]

WTF NASTASIC, wtf are you doing, ffs wake up. Shittiest offside trap.

 

[caramac]

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Sonogo is next level. Fuck Ozil, Sonogo for the number 10.

 

[wedward]

Yaya Toure is embarrassing today.

So fucking lazy.

 

[Carbonox]

Arsene Wenger baby

 

[Milchmonster]

Nice.

Reus as vice-captain. Not sure if that was a decision by the whole team or a poor attempt to make Reus stay :lol

 

[L1NETT]

Who even are these city players

Keeper just looks like a discount Pepe Reina

 

[LAM09]

Will City do a Utd then in the second half?

 

[Salvadora]

Don't think you can read too much into Alexis being a bit off on the pass.

He's only been training with the squad for just over a week.

 

[Arnie]

Sanogo is solid because of his pace and the way his runs drag defenders out of position.

With enough quality backing him up it's a decent option.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Missing Fernandinho

Yep.

I mean, what can they do to negate Fernandinho's imprtance when they can only spend £25m on his cover?

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Will City do a Utd then in the second half?

They don't have Tom Cleverley, so no.

 

[Manager]

Boyata is really poor, literally League 1 level player. Nastasic continuing his horrible form, embarrassing that he let Ramsey chip the ball over him. No drive, no determination, just gliding around.

Nastasic fucked up heavily when Sanchez came through, how the fuck can he be so bad now.

 

[Fergie]

This really does look like City a doing a Mancini second season again. They just don't look ready or even interested in the match. That being said, the very fact it is a Charity shield might explain that

Couple players aren't playing as well.

 

[GQman2121]

Chelsea will beat everyone in that top 4 handily.

We did that last season too and still finished in third.

 

[Manager]

FFS look at Nastasic, wtf was he thinking. "I'll shield it towards their goal"?!

 

[Scum]

Nice.

Reus as vice-captain. Not sure if that was a decision by the whole team or a poor attempt to make Reus stay :lol

Legolas is captain? Nice!

 

[Freewheelin']

Excellent half. Pace, power and aggression. This is the Arsenal I want to see when we play the big teams in the PL.

 

[Tc91]

Don't think you can read too much into Alexis being a bit off on the pass.

He's only been training with the squad for just over a week.

I think he's looked quite bright, he would of got to that through ball if he didn't make a storming run a minute before.

Arsenal looking good, City still on holiday.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Yep.

I mean, what can they do to negate Fernandinho's imprtance when they can only spend £25m on his cover?

City spending has always been like that. Putting any importance into it is senseless.

 

[Lakitu]

At least Arsenal are getting their silverware done for the year.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Legolas is captain? Nice!

Have you ever watched LotR?

 

[LAM09]

They don't have Tom Cleverley, so no.

How could I forget. They haven't got that game changer in their squad.

 

[Manager]

This really does look like City a doing a Mancini second season again. They just don't look ready or even interested in the match. That being said, the very fact it is a Charity shield might explain that

It's not that bad. City's (4th and 5th) CBs are horrible, Clichy a LB being RB and Yaya is being pre-season Yaya. City still lacking Zabaleta, Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Demichelis, Fernandinho, Lampard, Silva, Aguero, Negredo.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Arsenal is sharp. Based Sanchez.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Not sure about Debuchy defensively

 

[Gareth Bale]

Nastasic has turned into Savic

edit: or is turning into Savic

 

[StealthGoblin]

We did that last season too and still finished in third.

I don't think teams like Stoke, West Ham and Palace will cause you as much of a problem this year now that you have Drogba and Costa up top. Your form against lower league opposition lost you it last season.

Matic holding and those two up front should get you more points from those teams.

______________

Sanchez looks good so far.

 

[Joel Was Right]

 

[Manager]

Nastasic has turned into Savic

Yep. He was never a Pellegrini-like player. They can't sell him now since they'd need to find a homegrown to replace him (he's U21), but he'll probably be gone next summer.

He's perfect for Italy but not England/Spain.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Excellent half. Pace, power and aggression. This is the Arsenal I want to see when we play the big teams in the PL.

Yeah, this was the Arsenal of the first 7 years of Wenger and during his time with Monoco.

 

[Yurt]

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

The goals are really impressive. IIRC all his goals before the start of last season seemed to come from outside the box. Now he is getting into the box and slotting them in.

 

[Manager]

At least Silva's on the bench, he'll help out in 2nd half. Both Nastasic and Boyata should be out but there's only Rekik on the bench. Milner and Zuculini will probably get some time too.

 

[Scum]

Have you ever watched LotR?

Is that the one with the wand and a character named Willow?

 

[jtb]

Good performance so far. Really liking what I'm seeing from Sanogo, if he can stay fit and develop some sort of killer instinct for actually scoring goals, he will be very useful going forward.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

How could I forget. They haven't got that game changer in their squad.

Only Tom could mastermind a comeback from 2 down in the Community Shield.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Eredivisie has reached an all time low

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Don't think you can read too much into Alexis being a bit off on the pass.

He's only been training with the squad for just over a week.

He's been great?

 

[Salvadora]

He's been great?

He has, but a couple of errant passes inc one that led to a dangerous counterattack. That will come in time.
