Manchester City vs Melbourne City - Saturday July 18 at CBUS Super Stadium, Gold Coast

[Tony999]

Novillo by far the best pick up for this coming season. May not be a super star but has the balls to take on the defence and have a dig

Loving Novillo's work along with Retre and Dekker who have both done some really nice things. Tando also further proving why he is God

I'll reiterate that Clisby has been worse than aids, and Koren in typical Koren fashion has been largely missing.

also, does anyone else reckon Nasri looks like he's wearing makeup?

[Pigs 2]

Hopefully Zullo starts the 2nd half 

[hakz7]

We're actually working the ball and passing very well at times. Moving it swiftly especially in tight situations. For a first pre-season game, it's brilliant.

[haz]

Dekker definitely holding the ball up well 

Going to play the whole youth Team second half 

[fidrildid6]

Kisnorbo on for Hughes

[Tony999]

I agree that Clisby is a nightmare. I called it last year that he is useless. Hopefully, when a full squad is assembled he can be pushed out like other shit kickers.

[KSK_47]

Pretty  much agree with whats already been said. I dont think manchester are exactly worried but they certainly dont seem as comfortable as i was expecting.

Nav and tando are in beast mode and clisby is hopeless. Overall i am pleasantly surprised 

[mus-28]

Dekker should definitely be in the reckoning for a contract. Playing against one of the worlds best centre backs and doing a good job.

 

Trifiro, struggling physically. But if he can improve his fitness levels, technically he's an improvement on Mass and would be a decent squad filler who could come in and do a job.

[fidrildid6]

Hernan Espindola on for Koren.

[illeatyourheart]

I think I heard Koren's name once while he was on.

[KSK_47]

Will be nice to have 10 outfield players now

[Dylan]

youth team is on

 

[silva10]

Who is Stefan Zinni?

[KSK_47]

Fuck! I cant wait to see Nav this season

[recyclosaurusrex]

Novillo is going to win golden boot this year.

[Red or Dead]

Cheeky little chip from Novillo - would love to see more of that during the season

[Dylan]

Faaark Novillo again taking the piss

[icantthinkofacoolname]

It's good not to risk injury and stuff but I would've liked to see Novillo stay on for a bit longer

[HEARTinator]

Make Harry our international marquee. Oh .....

[mus-28]

Novillo to destroy the Messi/Ronaldo stranglehold on the ballon d'or. Probably win the Brownlow as well.

[Dylan]

Man city to poach Novillo

[icantthinkofacoolname]

Let's go zullo

[Red or Dead]

Zullo on for Clisby finally. Let's see how he handles the Costa Rican goalkeeper!

[Nate]

second half has been a gigantic snoozefest

[Red or Dead]

This is going to finish 1-0 to Man City isn't it? It'd be pretty embarrassing (for everyone) if there are no goals scored so we can't have that.

[Tony999]

Who is Stefan Zinni?

If he's anything like his dad then a massive prospect. I remember watching his dad as a junior when l played at Preston Makedonia. 

[KSK_47]

second half has been a gigantic snoozefest

Manchester look they are jogging around doing warm up drills and other than a few moments from Espindola, there has been very little to get excited about.

[Dylan]

Retre has been killing it all game.

[Red or Dead]

End there it is...

haha. And there it is.

What a finish though

[Red or Dead]

green line

Ahhhthankyou!

[icantthinkofacoolname]

Would like it to just stay 1-0 thankyou

[haz]

Hopefully Melling gets played ahead of Partaluu this season 

[fidrildid6]

What's the point of subbing on like 5 players for about 3 minutes.

to give the kids a taste against quality opposition, and make them hungry and eager to perform well this season

[silva10]

Enjoyed the game

Good work out for both teams

I thought Novillo, Retre and Dekker played well for Melbourne and enjoyed the performance from the youngsters Garcia and Humphries from City

[KSK_47]

What's the point of subbing on like 5 players for about 3 minutes.

so their mum can get a photo of them playing against man city

[Red or Dead]

Switch to GEM (209 on Foxtel) for Real Vs Roma...quite boring to watch after our City game
