Remember Chelsea got beat the other day by some nomarks
Pre season should actually be about getting your first team players to gel mate...or get as many as you have available to fucking gel before the season starts.......throwing on any old player just doesnt make sense to me and never has done.
I hate this "it's only a friendly" attitude ,especially when we are on ESPN or any other channel thats aired all over the world !! we look like cunts when we get done by some fucking MLS team.

Totally agree about Mancini seemingly throwing players out at random. No sense of tactics today, and to be honest, NYRB completely owned midfield. Not even close.
But also keep in mind, MLS is a freaking hell of a lot better than most Brits give credit for being. It's not the same league as what was seen even five years ago. Tonight was no fluke; NYRB also dominated Spurs, but only lost due to two horrendous backpasses, that may as well have been own-goals for all their comedy.
And if you need another, even more poignant example? See: ManU losing to a 10-man Kansas City Wizards team today.
It's not a joke anymore, the "pre-season fitness" and "it's only a friendly" excuses only go so far, for so long.

It's funny because that is what all the forums are actually saying about us ...
It was really hilarious because in the comments section of an article about Utd and City losing in the USA and Spurs drawing ... A Utd fan was laughing at all city fans who think that the team can accomplish something this year, and putting up our loss to NY as an example.

i think one can completely write off man city already. i can somewhat appreciate the loss to sporting, though spurs did manage to at least draw with them. but losing to a MLS side with so many big-bucks signing?
a lot of people say friendlies are nothing. just ask chelsea, arsenal and man u, they will tell u otherwise. it's about instilling a winning mentality. imagine, if you are already playing so hard for a friendly, what's going to happen during a league or game?
i guess harry must be grinning right now, since man city is just right for the slaughter! I hope they beat them 3-0!

Also disrespectful to sponsors of the tour and the paying public.
Obviously the world cup has interfered with Mancini's plans and he didn't really want friendlies this early. We dont need the money like Scum so why on earth bother?
The only reason I can see is to have our name bandied about a bit in the US of A for alleged marketing purposes.
Sister of fu wrote:You also have to look at players mentality for a friendly and that of a meanigful game. Im sorry to disappoint some but there is a world of difference. There is also the intensity issue which you just dont get in a pre-season friendly, its just not the same as playing in a game where you stand to loose something. So what if the media and other people wanna have a pop over a pre-season friendly, let them, what i am bothered about is what happens on the 14th August 2010 when it really matters.
I for one im not worried in the sligthest. You only have to look at Newcastle for instance who got battered 8-0 in a pre season friendly last year and there season turned out ok in the end.
