I really want to win this one and score a hatful of goals, but i think keeping a clean sheet will be the #1 priority.

Hopefully the defence will shine, looking for an Onouha/Toure partnership at the back (PLEASE!)

[Bthing]

I'm hoping we'll see a few minutes from Tevez.

Season start is getting closer. Wonder how many more players we'll add to the squad. I would guess two. (Lescott, Veloso)

I may have one tomorrow as well that is usually fairly reliable.

Currently in the middle of the Italian Super Cup, but will be Celtic - City after that.
I will be fast asleep (damn Australian times!), but keep us updated boys!
Hopefully lots of goals, especially from the blue side!

God Dunne sucks!

Is that Willo Flood and Samaras... legends!

[MLSn00b]

Bellamy with the goal. Who supplied the ball?

[MLSn00b]

BTW is Onouha injured? He's not on the list of subs (at least according to Yahoo! Eurosport's match tracker). A CB combo of Dunne and Tal Ben Haim is a bit unsettling to say the least.

[MLSn00b]

Tevez on for Bellamy.

[pazzmore]

good win, but another goal given away by Dunne.

TEVEZ!

[StuMCFC]

Not a bad performance overall, we generally were the better team and our attack was good (Tevez looked exceptional after coming on - and what an ovation - welcome to Manchester, Carlos!), but yet again the defence was shakey and both Dunne and Ben Haim (who tried to put it in his own goal twice) were poor. Zabaleta was good though as was the man of the match, Gazza Barry, who is helping make up for our defensive woes when he can.

[juanca]

Whats the call on adebayor's appearance? what was it 20 minutes?

I've heard he didn't even touch the ball.

[MLSn00b]

He did have a couple of touches, but never really got a chance to do much with them.

[51BLU]

good win, but another goal given away by Dunne.

TEVEZ!

A little unfair!

His positioning wasn't great, but it was a good goal from Celtic. A dangerous ball over the top by Samaras, and great finish by Killen(both ex City players).

Good game though with Barry looking assured and deservedly taking MOM, closely followed by Zeb.

[pazzmore]

Unfair? Dunne was clearly out of position for someone who does not have the speed to keep pace with wingers or quick forwards.
