I don't think I could endure another season of his languid style, along with his piss-poor attempt at a press.Quote:

I’m quite enjoying it, the Sundowns only lost one game all season last year and it shows at times, they’re quick and press well, but we’re not doing badly with what is a young starting line up - the Sundowns have probably been very slightly the better team, but we’re not doing too badly. Impressed by Fagan-Walcott and McGuinness, Ashford’s been lively and Joel Colwill’s done well at right back.Quote:

It's funny, because I tend to feel the same way about Robinson. Yes it's a friendly, but his "attempt" at running through on goal a couple mins before we scored just sums up how he's played for the last 18 months for me.Quote:

I'm in agreement with you about Robinson. We know he can be a decent player at this level, but I just think his mind is no long on it.Quote:

we've been crying out for someone to be a bit selfish and try to make things happen for most of last season. the rest of the te were often happy to meekly pass it and hope it somehow ends up with a shooting opportunityQuote:

Maybe to be expected in a friendly, but for me the young players have been far better than the established squad players.
Fagin-Walcott, Kpakio, Conte, King, J. Colwill all had excellent moments and look more comfortable on the ball than our first teamers.
Matthews who scored for them has had an interesting career, youth at Dortmund, played in Sweden for a few years - looks a good player
If NG isn’t fit the first game, let’s see what Kpakio can do. He looks electric.
As a pre-season game, that was a good one - physically and tactically. Sundowns well on top towards the end.
Did it finish 1-1?
Finished 1-1, a very good test for City's youngsters based on what I was able to see. They were definitely the best team weve played so far and put us under a fair bit of pressure towards the end, but we seem to have more pace in the side this season and that's without us having seen Willock yet - got to agree with LA Bluebird, it's the youngsters who are making us look a more dangerous attacking side at the moment.
Yes.Quote:

Thankyou. Was only able to watch part of the match. Looked an interesting workout.Quote:

In fairness, city fans are generally supportive towards home grown players, let's hope Bulut can act accordingly. Another thing, friendlies are important, they're training exercises, they show the coaching staff which players are in it, same as they do during the season.
I'm sure we had a pre-season tour of Australia, a year or two before this. That Jimmy Scoular took us to some exotic location, aye.Quote:

Some crap WOL reporting
"Substitute Eli King felt he was fouled out wide on the right. The linesman agreed, but the referee didn't, choosing instead to play advantage, and that allowed Joel Colwill to race away into the area and finish."
If the ref played advantage he must have seen a foul. You can't have it both ways, either there was no foul and play continued or the was a foul by the ref played the advantage.
Never knew we'd toured Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
What's wrong with Devon and Cornwall eh?
We were Global before Global was invented.Quote:
