Poor Dedryck, looked a bit harsh but he is getting a reputation

As for Willy's recovery time...

I'm liking Fernando's effort so far (and Denayer's)

Agreed, the Octopus has a good eye for a pass. Bossaerts looks like he has the intangibles too

Dedryck is certainly a threat in front of goal - unfortunately OUR goal. I was expecting to see Guidetti, Rodwell etc. putting in a bit more of an effort to impress, although i know its only a pre-season friendly.

I'm happy to see Rodwell holding a bit back at this stage - he is probably at his most vulnerable for another injury when unfit and is getting in some decent positions - if he can put a string of matches together I can see him cashing in, in a similar way to Stevie in that golden season, popping up on the edge of the box with a few goals.

Guidetti has yet to make a good decision, I fear he doesn't have what it takes to stick. Then again, I said the same thing about Sturridge during that miserable FA Cup defeat against Forest.

Not sure I seen anything from that 1st half. then again, I wasn't expecting much with the line-up.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not really making any serious conclusions from anything I just saw. I'm just desperate to watch City again.

so what is it, 2-0 at the half? or is it 3-0?

2-0, Boyata gave away a penalty for the first (although it looked like a poor decision) and redirected the second in with his arse

Guidetti & Huws need to show a lot more. Although it's just a run out for the likes of Jovetic etc, for them it's a trial. If they don't show anything they'll be ignored by the manager & drop down the list.

Denayer has done some good & some shit stuff but at least he has shown the boss he has something. Huws in particular needs to do the same. Dennis Suarez was given a similar opportunity & showed nothing.

That pen was ridiculous.

Was just saying what I seen mate (or didn't see).

thanks. saw the highlights on the live stream but looked like 3 diff Dundee players celebrated.

Willy did well to stop the penalty. not at fault for either goals.

Caballero, Micah, Nasti, Rekik, Huws, Garcia Zuccuini, Leigh, Nasri, Negredo, Clichy

Anyone know why Nasri is getting booed with every touch? Is there something he has done against Scotland that I forget?

was about to ask the same thing. what's up with that?

a bunch of arsenal supporters there or something?

or maybe dechamps family made the trip?

That brief burst from Micah then... that's what i've missed. There is no one better at it in the team than him. Shame he's not shown that for long enough for him to get sold.

cheers. this commentator changed his mind like 5 times.

Did the official stream just go down for everyone - or was it just me?

Just you, 3-2 now, Boyata came back on and scored a hat-trick
