Anorthernsoul

He has to play on the front foot, trying to get in behind. He's no good dropping deep for the ball all game, it not only leaves us short up front it's very easy to defend against for their centre halves. He's dangerous putting their defenders on the back foot.

Thought we'd nicked it. Showed real fight and desire to dig in second half. They can build on that now. Happy with a point.

There'll be a lot more space in this game, his pace could cause them several problems

Howay the lads, we deserve this!

I've just read that Steve Harper has had a stroke 😒

Bruno looks unfit and unhappy out there, complete opposite to his sharpness and confidence last season.

After this performance they need to get in for half time as early as possible.

One save from a deflected shot/cross

It seems last years solid defensive unit has completely crumbled over the summer.

Go on Bruno lad, too many absolute cunts online with far too much to say.

Caicedo wishing he stayed at Brighton?

I think a bit of perspective is needed here. We played the English and European champions away from home, probably the best club team in world football and lost to an absolute superb strike. We were still in the game at the final whistle, actually gave a decent account of ourselves for long spells of the second half and had glimpses of getting an equaliser. We probably give them a bit too much respect in the first half, with space and possession and didn't retain the ball enough but they still only had one shot on target and it was a blinder that won the game. Let's be honest aswell Phil Foden had a brilliant game and he's very hard to mark in the system they play, I thought Botman had a great game and looked very solid indeed. We had openings in the second half when the game was getting more stretched and it was clear from half time Eddie sent them out with a more positive game plan. I thought Wilson should have done better with the 2 on 1 situation as Miggy would have been in on goal. Bruno should have done better with his chance also. Obviously it's disappointing to come away with nothing but we certainly didn't disgrace ourselves and they'll learn from games like and grow in confidence no doubt.

Game on 👀

Scary to think how much the Ashley regime didn't give two fucks about the club or it's future. The cold hard figures are being publicly broadcast now. Where's all the pundits now with their "The fans demand far too much" bullshit? EXACTLY

Another medal for Scott Carson 😂

Edison kept them in it.

I tell you what I'm watching this Super Cup and if Man City give us so much space in the channels we'll smash them at the weekend. Doubt they'll play this open but I hope they fucking do!

We are surely due a win down there, SURELY!

They are very shaky at the back, the space in the channels was clear to see. They won't be able to live with our attacking prowess if they don't strengthen soon.

The love in for Chelsea was embarrassing even though at no point were they winning the game 😂

Contact the club about it see if the issue can be rectified for the next game

Totally agree, Barnes style of play and high energy is perfect for our setup. With our attacking options now we genuinely look dangerous every time we go forward. With the level of quality coming off the bench now aswell it's looking very promising for the season ahead.

I was just about to post you're the only one I've heard that didn't get in.

What a result. We played some great stuff, Tonali looks sheer class. They had chances in the game aswell but we were very clinical. We absolutely blew them away in the second half, could have been 8. A bit of a reality checks for the Villains, their fans proving they are still absolute cunts, extremely salty. We can't get carried away though, serious test next weekend.

I think his contribution was fairly underrated last season, he's consistently improved since he signed and was instrumental in a lot of games last season with his endeavour to get forward into the box. Been a great signing so far.
