Kolarov and Fern1 as CBs?
I wonder if Sane featured at all just to get a run out.

Sounds more like a paper spotting the big names that received some time In the match. I doubt that squad was trotted out at the same time but I could be wrong.

Scottish Premiership side, St Johnstone FC are in town (Wednesday 3 August) ready to take on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City 'behind closed doors' pre-season friendly.

No spectators will be allowed to attend the 7,000-capacity Academy Stadium, and we've just heard, (seconds prior to publication) reporters / media are not allowed to attend the stadium on what can be described as a 90-minute training session.

We understand the match will kick off at 5pm BST.

We at Vital Manchester City will keep an eye on numerous media outlets, including the official City and St Johnstone websites, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds and if we see any reports, images or anything related to the game we'll hope to bring it you as soon as they are available.

Updates will appear below...

CITY 3-0 ST. JOHNSTONE - Match Details

Ok, so you already know that Fernandinho, Silva and Delph were the scorers, well I can tell you that all three goals were near carbon copies of Aguero's goal vs Dortmund - Great passing moves ending in tap-ins.

The game was played like a training match with rolling subs with players going off and back on constantly, working on different formations and styles, therefore I haven't got the starting lineup for the second half or any substitutions coz of the amount of changes during the game.

The starting lineup was Hart, Zabaleta, Kolorov, Adarabioyo, Clichy, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Silva, Sterling, Nolito and Aguero.

Nobody played the full 90 minutes.

What I can tell you is that everyone played some part of the match apart from Caballero, Gundogan, Kompany, Otamendi, Sane, De Bruyne & Bony, who were all missing/rested.

The youngsters involved were Gunn, Zinchenko, Angelino, Maffeo, Aleix Garcia, Adarabioyo and Zuculini.

As I said players kept going off and then coming back on later when Pep was trying out something new, however, the only player not to reappear was Pablo Zabaleta after he was angrily taken off and was given the riot act by Pep on the touchline.

Joe Hart played the first half and Angus Gunn played the second.

Aleks Kolarov played CB again and Tosin played CB for the entire first half. Fernando had a spell in the second half at CB too. Fernandinho was also tried as a forward at times!

And that's your lot. Please don't ask me more questions coz I'll remove you from the group and remember, if i see this leaked anywhere then I'll block you faster than you can blink!
