[london blue 2]

Shit defence and no strikers. Other than than movement is alright. Madrids big boys vs out third choice defense. Not much surprise.

[bigblue]

stupid from ramos but get in Yaya!

hopefully we'll see a new energy in the 2nd

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

How sad a wanker do you have to be to boo a player in a pre-season match your club is not even involved in?

Very 'special', these plastic dippers (almost as good as the real thing).

[blues2win]

Pre season game or not what good comes from getting a whacking from Real Madrid. I just hope Humphreys doesn't lose too much confidence from this. Lucky penalty but we'll take it.

[Dubciteh]

We had no choice with that defence, we dont have any alternatives i dont think.

apart from mangala and clichy?

[blues2win]

Why all this booing of Sterling is Australia full of bin dipper fans?

[carl_feedthegoat]

Pellegrini didn't know the team Real would put out but this is a ridiculously weak defence to put out.

IT'S A PRE SEASON GAME!!!

This ^ ffs.

This is a huge high profile game watched by millions....................Its FUCKIGN important we show what we can do and right now its fuckign EMBARRASSING.

The only thing embarrassing is that post.

Arnt you dead yet ?

[South Stand Balti]

I hope Madrid make a lot of changes. This reminds me of the Charity Shield game v Arsenal. There is no proper shape to our team when we don't have the ball and nothing has been done to fix that.

Delph allready injured.. Jees.

Lipread him say "Hamstring", 4 weeks out that... :(

As long as its not one of those 4 week hamstrings that turns into a season long thing where its 4 weeks off 20 mins playtime then reinjured:-)

Our midfield looked much better balanced before he went off. I hope it's only a four week injury, because I think Delph definitely has a role to play in our team this season.

You already have that accolade for the last few seasons....keep it up son , we all like to laugh at cunts like you,

[Fesan]

Funny that its called international champions cup and none of the teams in the comp were champions last season:P

Mangala injury concern so not in squad. We are playing the only 2 central defenders we have available and they havent really been the issue here. I would more likely put the goals down to Nasri messing up in midfield ( delph might not have) Joe not saving a weak shot, Aleks playing them onside for no.2 and Fernando losing his man for 3.

Defensively poor of course but overall playing ok.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Please don't laugh at me Carl, you'll get me all upset. You sad twat.

Im not worried about the midfield right now , its the fuckign defence that needs attention.
When is the penny going to drop re Kolorov with Pellegrini???..we call Yaya lazy but Kolorov takes the biscuit.
2 of the most laziest smashes at a ball from a few yards out with time to pick his pass and he fucks it.

Shocking.

[bigblue]

Kolarov gets most of the blame for me for being the only 1st choiceish player in defence and being the biggest liability

promising from sterling though.. want to see Nacho come on and get a goal
