Not liking the formation - Alvarez & Haaland in this combo is not allowing either to make the most of their assets

Eric has been a key part of our success over the past 5 years and does not deserve that sort of comment after a couple of early mistakes in this game - in which he has played well overall. Poor form carl.

Why make so many changes is beyond me.
You do that in training and not in a pre season game against Atletico with few days till we kick the season off.

Abysmal by pep — what’s the fucking point of bringing on 9 fucking players ?

He just set us up for being embarrassed this half.

I’m turning it off - absolute no point watching this now.

If Phillips is not sold by the end of the season, I will be amazed. Just utter shite and does not fit into the team at all.

In truth he’s so out of his depth it’s unreal. Whoever scouted him needs a word. He’s taking up a slot that a kid, like Tommy Doyle, could have.

It shows our depth isnt really there, of those that came on theres only a couple who can add anything namely kovacic and lewis oh and akanje too of course. Young lads looked very weak and Phillips was emm just like phillips.

That said Dias had a mare for the first goal.

How class is Ortega btw? We wont keep him as second choice long, he will be off next season. Better than most keepers in the league.

Phillips is stealing a living as a City player.

He is so slow and sluggish it is embarrassing to watch, fucking Donkey.

He is not even worth a place on the bench because bringing him on he is a liability in possession.

Not a bad run-out. Always going to be difficult against Athletico with their tactics and there was no chance of any real decent play once all the changes were made.

Look to next week now against Arsenal who have had a couple more pre-season games compared to us.

Again, he’s taking the place of a kid that has come through the academy that would do no worse - Tommy Doyle.

Not to mention we sold Lavia last season and paid nearly £50m for Phillips. Lavia could have done that role

Ortega MOTM

No injuries, bring on the Gooners next weekend.

Just need Bernardo and Kyle to sign when they touchdown at Ringway.
