The funny thing is Manchester City can win without their main squad, while Manchester United have used all of their senior squad with new strategy. Joshua Zirkzee was a failed signing, what's the reason to sign this guy if Ten Hag forcing Bruno to play in center forward position instead of him.

Onana is already finished, he has given enough time, but he's not improved in anything. Ten Hag should rotate Onana to Bayindir and let Zirkzee to play.

Manchester City deserved this win, congratulations.

Erik ten Heg is playing with fire, signed a new striker but still planning on using a midfielder as a false 9 to deceive who? Man City or the club it self? I said it won't work out, go out and make use of your best since all department are functioning like you claimed, this is the time to show working but it seems he (Erik ten Heg) is playing with his job, I only see a man who's getting ready to be fired and for Ruud van Nistelrooy to take over.
Speaking about Onana, he has his own ways of decorating the season in his favor and I'm waiting for more errors coming from him, his good with his feet but he need to do more, protect yourself and let these guys (the defenders) to always go all out before you kick out the ball, building from the back will cause more problem and the defenders don't have that confidence in holding on to the ball for the next 20secs, over confidence is the only thing that's killing the good job he has put together other than that I don't see him messing up.

This match looked a bit boring, both coaches rested most of their main players which gave the impression that they were playing a friendly match. The first half saw little action, both teams just trying to get the ball from their opponents without any real threat.
The second half did not see much change, the two goals scored in this match occurred 10 minutes before the match ended. Manchester United failed to maintain their lead after scoring the first goal in this match, once again Ten Hag could not maintain the lead achieved by his team, the goal obtained by Manchester City was certainly very painful for Manchester United because due to a small mistake they had to admit defeat to Manchester City through a penalty shootout.

Actually, the FA Community Shield is not that important for Manchester City and if they lose then there is no loss felt by Manchester City.


Indeed, Ten Hag looks quite optimistic to be able to get win in this match and he looks very enthusiastic in trying to beat Manchester City even though we all know that Manchester United performance can't actually surpass Manchester City.
But there is indeed chance for them to win the match, just like when they were in the FA Cup final where Manchester City didn't seem to play optimally and didn't look like team that was trying to get win because the FA Cup was not the goals for Manchester City.
In match like this for the FA Community Shield I doubt if I have to make Manchester City the favorite, maybe there will be surprise like the match in the FA Cup final.
Even though the FA Community Shield is not Manchester City's target, Pep Guardiola has the ambition to take revenge against Manchester United when they were defeated in the FA Cup last season. I believe both team have huge ambition for winning their first trophy in this season on The FA Community Shield and make their team performance keep confidence for Premier League matches.
Manchester United on difficult position few days left before facing Manchester City on FA Community Shield after leaving by several important players due injured, new signing Leny Yoro will absent and Marcus Rashford will miss in this match until Rasmus Højlund have to be out from Manchester United squad few later with injury problem.

Considering Manchester United recently squad, I doubt they can repeat success for defeating Manchester City on FA Community Shield match, I think Manchester City indeed not have huge ambition for the first trophy in this season seems favorable for defeating Manchester United for the first match in this season.
No one knows how Manchester City and Pep make this match an interest or not but what is clear is that we have seen how both of them play and I sure you can conclude for yourself that what I said is true.
Indeed, this could be one form of proof that Manchester City is truly ready for the real competition later when it starts, but they will also think twice if they really want to use their full strength just for the Community Shield.
In the end, Manchester City could only win on penalties in match against Manchester United who were in poor condition.

~snip~
How much do you believe in the idea that the Community Shield is not that important for Man City?
The Community Shield is not a big competition but winning the opening match of the season gives the Man City players confidence and gives them a great spirit and will definitely get a good record this season.

For the discussion of the match I will answer from a bettor's perspective and I will say that maybe in the FA Cup at that time Man City did not really chase the title but I believe in this match Man City are still the favorites and will win today's match.
We'll see which statement comes true and for me there will be no surprises.
Didn't you see that if Manchester City used some of the second-string players in this match, Haaland as the most reliable main striker also did not seem to play very well and not like when he was in big match.
Manchester City game was not optimal and they looked quite pressured so that it was difficult to penetrate Manchester United defense to create an advantage from the start.
I also bet on this match and in 1x2 the result was 1-1 draw, if Manchester City played seriously then I sure they could get an absolute victory and not from penalty shootout.

As for Manchester United, I will say ten hag really has lots of work to do, Manchester United at some point did raid some part of the game but the team isn’t ready to win anything. Manchester United midfield look like a higher institution or college boys team, the midfield today cannot even compete with even the lower ranked teams in the league. They Also have a strong defense deficiency most especially the left back position. This position situation is part of why I would also say Ten Hag needs to be bold enough to win matches and subsequently trophies too, he should’ve given the young Harry Amass a full debut and should’ve taken Rashford out way earlier than he played,

I'd say Erik ten Hag is no magician. He needs to right players in midfied so he can dominate his opponents. Do you know what's embarrassing, they struggled against youngins in midfied. I would say that too. Most of these players playing for Manchester United are honestly not worth it.
The left back position was handled by Lisandro Martinez, he is not a good fullback in my opinion, he was just making himself available. Luke Shaw has been said to be Injured again. I hope they solve that area before the window ends. Harry Amass? Lads talented but I don't think he's fully ready yet, mind you, he's only 17 years old. They should at least drop Rashford on the bench for the next three to four game so he can learn how to execute for Garnacho. Maybe also reduce his salary. Nonsense!!

Yeah normally this match is not that important but if it's a derby then we know there's something else to maintain. Overall, both teams did not play optimally. somehow I feel like i'm watching a practice match a little change occurred in the second half but it was still less interesting. By the way I placed 2 bets on both teams to score before the match started then Manchester United won in the second half, I almost won it but unfortunately Manchester City equalized in the last minute.

Manchester City is very famous as the best team of this season, Manchester City team has many good and experienced stars who have space to score goals in every match. Haaland didn't try hard enough to score in this match and if he could have taken the chances he did get then Pelanty wouldn't have been needed in the end. But such opportunities were found by both teams but due to the experienced goalkeepers of both teams, this match came to penalties at the last minute. And Manchester United lost on penalties.
Manchester City has become the best team in the Premier League since the season Liverpool Manchester United Chelsea started to perform poorly. Earlier, when the best teams of the Premier League were discussed, but Manchester City's name did not come above all, but Liverpool or Chelsea's name came above all. With the passage of time, the performances of the big teams have changed a lot and the favorite places have been taken by other teams. Now as Manchester City is performing well regularly, after few seasons it will be seen that Manchester City's performance is deteriorating and other teams are doing well. In the event that Liverpool or Manchester United do not make any changes to their club, I am keeping Manchester City ahead for next season.

The game between Manchester United and Manchester City was very exciting and aggressive from start to finish. Both the teams performed well which led to the game going to penalties until the last minute which team could score in the main period of the game. Although both teams played well in the match, five penalty kicks were scored early on when both teams tied the scores, later two more were added and the scores were still tied. Just as penalty number 8 started, Manchester United's goalkeeper failed to save the penalty which resulted in Manchester United losing by one goal. But I think Manchester United played relatively well against Manchester City and this match was exciting for both teams. Although they lost on penalties in the final stages, it was mainly down to Manchester United's luck, not the luck that caused them to lose.

Im so disappointed at Manchester United, I taught they were getting any better but sadly it appears they aren't, and I'm not happy at their performance, I know I will be sounding like a fan of which I'm not but my biggest concern is that this games wasn't of much importance to Manchester city because looking at their form and strength, they still have got a chance at a trophy this season but Manchester United appears like this is their only chances yet they messed it up,  they did had chances even in the first and second half yet they weren't able to convert or utilize any of them so they just performed terribly, I just hope they get better and try getting the Europa so they have something to fall back at by the end of the new season.

Be you a fan or not I think you said the truth on their performance, I wasn't expecting Pep Guardiola to even win the game because the Citizens weren't completely clinical, was expecting Man UTD to take advantage of the fact that some of the players who causes problem wasn't in play but they delayed till Pep start bringing in the deadly players. Only if ETH would have changed this idea of starting a player as a false 9 and playing some players out of their preferred position it would have gone their way but it can't work on Manchester City, the fast game of City wasn't even included in yesterday's game which means when next they both come against each other I feel it would be very hard for Man UTD that's if they continue with this unserious performance, just an attacker and the rest is settled for UTD.

No matter how many goals the Manchester United team concedes, it is very difficult to win against the Manchester City team. Because from the past Manchester City team has occupied the first place of the Premier League till now they are the first in the Premier League. So, even though the field of play was full of intense competition, the spectators of both the teams were quiet. And Manchester City leveled the game in the last few minutes of the game.  Here the Manchester City team was a bit behind as they failed to score despite the early chances, Manchester City team scored a goal with just one minute remaining. And the game did not go to penalties, and Manchester United lost by just one goal. Manchester United missed two goals.

Chelsea should work with the defenders they have now and forget buying more, let them build the connection/communication among themselves instead of adding and then lack level of commitment, loosing the ball at critical points will only send the team down the table.

Well, I'm a person who thinks that Chelsea should do Something to be able to go further in the Premier League. I say one thing: they have to change everything that is necessary, and it's not a question of luck, it's a question of attitude. They have changed everything that can be changed , Think that now they have to adapt to everything that the Premier League means, because things will start to work out for them, but they have to work very hard, because they have a very difficult path ahead of them with Man City, with Liverpool , with all these teams that are Aways number 1.

Manchester City and Manchester United faced each other for the Community Shield trophy.The goals came in the last minutes of the match in which both teams did not find many scoring positions.United scored the first goal in the 82nd minute and City scored the equalizer in the last minutes to send the match to penalties.
The penalties ended with City leading 7-6 and City managed to win the cup.I think we can say that both teams were not ready for the season.

The two teams show a lot of interest in winning and Manchester United tried, they scored first just that they can not maintain the one goal because we know that, Manchester City will do everything possible to win and look at what happened at the end of the game. And I was already expecting the city to actually given united a good defeat but Manchester United played hedge to hedge game with them the game even leading to penalty shootout and also from the stats it was not any difference and Manchester City are always looking for ways to actually drag the game to a penalty since they can not add more goals and they know that they might have a better chance in a penalty shootout with Manchester United because of their goal keeper and Silva who scored the goal that lead to the penalty shootout also lost one penalty and their was a lot of substitutions since it was going to be a penalty shootout. That is one of the strategies that are often used by coaches to give their self more advantage during a shootout. And the game ending 7:6 was actually a very close one for Manchester City they would have lost the community shield to united but congratulations to Manchester City once again.
The Manchester derby presented in the Community Shield final was very tight, and in the end Manchester City managed to emerge as champions, congratulations to Pep Guardiola and his squad. Manchester City success indicates that Manchester United is still less competitive with its city rivals, although we realize that the match was quite troublesome for both teams. Apart from luck Manchester City in the penalty shootout, this defeat was actually very painful for Manchester United, because they failed to maintain their lead, Bernardo Silva became the hero for Pep Guardiola squad. Ten Hag must encourage his players to immediately forget this defeat, because the new season will soon arrive, and they need to focus fully on it. Once again, congratulations to Manchester City.

It probably wasn't a particularly important game, but a title is a title and it's nice to win it. Luckily I was busy today and completely forgot about the game (I was planning to bet on City to win in regulation time) so I saved money for other bets. So far I've come to the conclusion that at the beginning of the season it's not worth betting on City as they play much worse than bookmakers think (which means the odds won't cover the risk).

Yeah normally this match is not that important but if it's a derby then we know there's something else to maintain.

By the way I placed 2 bets on both teams to score before the match started then Manchester United won in the second half, I almost won it but unfortunately Manchester City equalized in the last minute, it indicates that Manchester City has a good mentality as a main candidate to win the title. Next week we will see the matches for the new season start, we will wait for the first match between Manchester City vs Chelsea lol real challenge for Chelsea.

When Silva missed his first penalty for Manchester City, I immediately thought Manchester United could win here. But it ended up being the same as a Manchester United player missed the goal. However, Manchester City did not miss the last three tries, which led to victory in this match.

 However, both teams had wide opportunities in the main field to score, with Manchester United attacking more and scoring chances. But there was no way Manchester City could get the ball inside the goal post, because Manchester City's goalkeeper was very good and experienced. In any situation, the defense department and the goalkeeper saved Manchester City from the attack.

I agree with you. Chelsea have serious problems in their defense. I am confused why Chelsea increase the number of goalkeepers even though currently there seems to be around 8 goalkeepers in the Chelsea squad. But it seems true what X-ray said, Chelsea increase the number of goalkeepers not only to find the best and strengthen their defense, but to do some business and get profit from the player's price.
That many goalkeepers will definitely be very wasteful for a team because Chelsea will only use a few and it would be more ideal if Chelsea could sell half of that number to other teams and buy some other defenders to fill their defense to make it better. Because a team must be better from all lines and more importantly is the defense side apart from the front side which must also have fast finishers so that there are goals from each match. But I don't understand what Chelsea is doing now so that they can have that many goalkeepers.
I don't know what Chelsea was thinking until they recruited many goalkeepers indirectly instead of reaping a lot of profit if they sell them but instead wasting money because they have to pay salaries and contracts every season for the goalkeepers even though they only use at least 2 goalkeepers to rotate their main goalkeepers, they have to sell goalkeepers who are actually not really needed rather than having to accommodate many players.
I see Chelsea also recruiting many players in the summer transfer market including defenders, midfielders, and strikers, at least they also have to think about their financial stability.

Ederson To Remain At Manchester City After Productive Talks With Guardiola

Ederson has confirmed his commitment to Manchester City for the upcoming season, despite interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. The Brazilian goalkeeper had been linked with moves to Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal but decided to stay after discussions with manager Pep Guardiola and other club officials.

Since joining from Benfica in 2017, Ederson has become a key player for Manchester City. He has won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups, and the Champions League. His performances have made him a fan favourite at the Etihad Stadium.

Last month, Ederson mentioned he was undecided about his future. However, after productive talks with Guardiola and the club's hierarchy, he has now committed to staying. "The decision has been made. I will stay at Manchester City this season," Ederson told ESPN Brazil following City's Community Shield win over Manchester United.

I was unable to watch the match, and I haven’t gotten the time to watch the highlight, but for Manchester United to be able to hold Manchester City down, then they really tried. When a match comes to a penalty, then the lucky team will be winning it. I don’t really know Manchester United’s overall performance in the match, but I won’t blame them just because they lose the penalty. Let's wait for the season to start, so that we will see how Manchester United will be performing. I am not expecting Manchester United to play anything special, but I might be wrong, so let’s just wait for the season to start, so that we will see every club’s overall performance.


The both teams started the game by playing way too full football that I will bluntly say that this performance needs to be improved for anything to be won during the season, as for Manchester city the difference in their regular performance and this very match was because of their lack of quality players in the team with many players yet to return from their holiday, and this clearly showed that Manchester City with their players back can have an advantage over the other clubs but this match also showed Manchester city weakness this season, before one thing I personally believed that Pep Guardiola usually uses was a large number of good players to boost his squad depth but the recent departure of some players is leaving a huge gap in the team that needs replacement.

As for Manchester United, I will say ten hag really has lots of work to do, Manchester United at some point did raid some part of the game but the team isn’t ready to win anything. Manchester United midfield look like a higher institution or college boys team, the midfield today cannot even compete with even the lower ranked teams in the league.

Congratulations to Manchester City for winning the 2024 FA Community Shield. Pep Guardiola's men had to come from a goal down to equalize in the dying minutes of the game before going on to defeat Manchester United during via penalty shootout. What a good way to start the new season for the reigning England Premier League champions and what another impressive record for the club manager Pep Guardiola who has now won his trophy numbers 18 since he was appointed as the club manager in the summer of 2016.

It probably wasn't a particularly important game, but a title is a title and it's nice to win it. Luckily I was busy today and completely forgot about the game (I was planning to bet on City to win in regulation time) so I saved money for other bets.

@KTChampion, there is this mistake you made in your write up and a lot of us on this thread have been making such mistake which is why I think it's of a necessity for me to correct it now that I've seen you repeat it again. I've been overlooking all these while but since one of the purposes of this forum is to educate members on issues they have limited little knowledge about, let me call back your attention to it.
You said "a title is a title" which means that you refer to what Manchester City won today today against Manchester United as a title and that's actually wrong. A "title" can only be won in a league be it national or continental. What Manchester City won today was a cup of can be referred as a trophy but not a title. I hope you and every other person who makes similar mistake learns from this correction.

You shouldn't be disappointed at Manchester United for losing in a penalty shootout because penalty is a nobodies game, I am not a fan of Manchester United also but watching them today they had a lot of improvement in the team as they came out to face Manchester City wieh full force and made good goal attempts despite not taking the lead from the first half.
