LCFC vs Man City - Community Shield (07/08/21) - Match Thread (Live on ITV)

[drumbeat]

Fek me, I didn't even realise Grealish had signed for them!!

[cruzFOX]

Hope our foxes fans and the citizens do us all proud today. Especially after the England chaos/debacle at the Euro final. Only takes a single incident like that for the world to mark every English fan as a drunken hooligan. COYF!!

[Dusty]

Praet not even on the bench? Have I missed an injury? If not you’ve gotta presume he wants out with how little game time we’re giving him.

[Tuna]

Switch on ITV1 and they are talking about Kane!

[sheffield_fox]

Arrogant pricks putting the reserves out. Hope we smash em

[Nalis]

I dont care what the status of this is, we are unlikely to play in many community shields. And Man City are taking the piss with that line up.

 

Let's do this!

[OntarioFox]

Realtalk, but the presence of Fernandinho makes them still dangerous. They're a different team with him in.

Overall though, beatable. If Amartey can't do it against such a makeshift front line then I don't know how he's expected to pick up the flack in league games.

[Phube]

Can’t wait for the customary 5 mins on Leicester.

 

Wait a mo’ when does Kane play in this match?

For any of my fellow fox fans in the US the game is being shown live on ESPN+. It's only $5.99/month and you can cancel anytime. Just FYI

Not on the bench

I’m watching this in a pub in Ashby and they have allocated one tv for the game. The other 15 have the rugby on and wow this is insufferable. Rugby fans are the worst.

We'll get a mention for Kasper, then a comparison to his Dad Peter and then a segway into Man Utd's transfer business.

Not sure it's that arrogant. Quite a lot went to latter stages of Euros and Copa America.

Especially Lions fans - I say this as a rugby fan myself so I know how hypocritical that sounds.

So far it's all about Man City and that guy they didn't sign.

Yep, we're not playing.

Take it we're not wearing the black and gold 3rd kit

Maybe he is close to being sold then as he played some minutes in pre-season 

 

KDH preferred perhaps and Praet our most sellable asset that we are OK with letting go. Shame if true but KDH has been impressive

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Without many of their ‘big’ names I think we’ll shade this one. 

[Ric Flair]

What's the point of Hamza on the bench for this? Surely he's off. Would have had Nelson or Sowah on.

[Fox_in_a_Box]

what channel is this on?

 

[StanSP]

Bit weird - they cut to Kasper for about 10 seconds saying he reached the Euros SF and now 'back to the day job'. Then go to do a segment on dementia?

He’s one we may need to sacrifice to get some funds in - especially if we do want a RW as well as a centre back. Shame but as KDH is looking good there’s probably not much likelihood of him starting many games.

we’d get a decent fee for him as well unlike Hamza and Papy

If Praet goes and Mendy injured. Maybe Hamza will stick around after all
