Ramsey having a stomping game lads very surprised at how good hes playing.

emergingstar

So we have a Colombian trailist and a 16yr old in midfield

And we're beating city 3-0

wandatowell

Good strength, good finish

Looper007

Disappointing goal to give away. Kos was outmuscled there.

.jacksparrow.

Please hold on

Yeh not often you see Kos out muscled.

That Perez lad is Fabregas in a comedy wig.

Can't remember the last time I saw a trialist play in a proper match.

I'm happy he's getting a shot like this its better than signing a park or Santos and then realizing they're not good.

Ramsey if he plays like he has at the end of the season, he be on the top of the list for big clubs.

Who the **** are we? A small club?

Are you sure you're a fan?:)

Good old Spainish diving.

I was joking mate

Pepe LeFrits

Navas you sissy, it's a friendly.

brianregan09

Thats a great result friendly or not...I already hate Negredo seems to moan more than he plays abit like Rooney actually

dvemail

Good win, striker still needed.

.jacksparrow.

Ramsey and nasri giving the daggers there!

emergingstar

Good final workout

Happy with that

Looper007

Very Good performance. Ramsey, Kos and Walcott standing out.
Still think we need signings upfront, CB and DM. But the side looks top notch.

The diving side I didn't like. Watch out for him he's going to be involved in something major this season.

gosplan

Not selling our best player is fun.

Looper007

Got to say we got a great deal out of Nasri. Looks a very average play since joining City.

At least we can be safe in the knowledge that our squad can only become stronger. Hopefully it will happen soon.

I don't think we have a "best player" anymore. We have a group of talented players, but I don't think we have a Henry or a Cesc who stands out like we had before. Not saying this is a bad thing really as it means we're not so dependent on the form of one player.

tayto lover

Don't get carried away lads. Nice to win but i'd prefer 3 points next week.

Impressed with Ramsey and Ox today and the fact that we pressured the ball when we hadn't possession. Good work ethic that I want to see carried into the season.

We're a team now unlike Madrid who depend on Ronaldo and Barcelona with Messi.

That's because he was always average bar one good 6 month spell, even when Walcott was getting slated week in week out by Arsenal fans he was still getting more goals and assists than Nasri.

cson

My only fear, and I'm loathe to be negative after that, is that AW will point to that being evidence the team is strong enough. Hopefully he's not that naive.

I'm not getting carried and I doubt many are. Still think we need strengthen in certain areas but with a few singings we could win the EPL.

I agree with you on that. He only had that half a season in later 2010. The later half 2011 he faded away.

Having an outstanding talent does not make you any less of a team.

brianregan09

I think we should be fine for the 1st few games and should have no problem with Fenerbache either going by pre season , But yeah we still need a few additions hope to feic the gustavo thing is true he'd be an immense signing for us

Not as headline grabbing as suarez or higuain but just as important in my view

I think it does though is some circumstances. Look how all our players really stood up to be counted when RvP left. We were nowhere near as solid a team when we relied on his goals.

gnfnrhead

How did the trialist do?

.jacksparrow.

Ok, few nice touches but also a few poor ones, but not bad.

brianregan09

Picked up a yellow card and looked like John Rambo other than that didn't really get to see enough of him

Have to say I agree. He is an intensely frustrating player to watch, he always just seems to take that extra touch, or delay a pass and more often than not gets caught in possession. Not been impressed with him one bit and I'd expect him to get fewer games for us this season.

You know both of those teams would batter the **** out of us, right?

meriwether

City to struggle this season.

They bought a bnch of second rate Spaniards, just like they did last season with Javi Garcia.

brianregan09

I'm not sure they'd both batter us at all , Bayern Munich battered Barca and we came close to beating them

Think what he is saying is that Barca without Messi is a shadow of the team with him in it.
But yeah they would still clatter us.
