Well, i actually do not think City were unlucky, Liverpool were obviously the better side and they deserved the victory that they got, but i am pretty sure Pep and his boys would not think about this one too much, they will just take it as a mere pre-season game, shake off the loss and go about their business of winning games in the EPL, when it starts this weekend.

Liverpool played better and won it. Manchester City did not control too much ball and created too many opportunities like two matches between them in the past season. I think Manchester City still need time to adjust their tactic to use Haaland. Haaland has some bad finishes in that match too.

Quote

Haaland had about three good chances to score that day, but he could not just stick the ball in the net, i know he will feel a little bit bad and it might affect his confidence a little because two of those chances were pretty much him and a gaping goal, so it was even harder to miss than score, well the City camp know how to get their groove back, so i am pretty sure Pep and the team will help Haaland forget about that day and focus on more important titles and games coming up. City still remain my favorite to win the league this season.

Give him time. Missing a few opportunities in a first official match for a new club is not the end. Haaland is very strong and he will score goals again. He has an excellent career from Malmo, Salzburg to Dortmund and will continue it in Manchester City and Premier League.

Haaland did not have good connections with other players in Manchester City but time will help him to improve it. Manchester City has many smart midfielders and they can provide good key passes to Haaland. They just need more time to find each other and play better together.

The Community Shield match gave us an opportunity to observe the biggest favourites of this season. They both seemed quite solid also but Manchester City were just the unlucky side. Liverpool did a big job there by a 3-1 victory and it was good to see Nunez scoring already. Many people including me expected the same from Haaland too and he was nearly doing it in the last minutes. But anyway this is still not a problem for him and he already showed how much he was determined in this match.

Manchester City team was considered to be the most favorite team to win the Premier League next season. But their performance against Liverpool was not as expected. Although it was a friendly match. However, both teams played with their main squads. I am not saying that Manchester City played badly. But, Liverpool's match strategy and gameplay were more organized than Manchester City's. Especially Liverpool's Darwin Nunez and Salah's performances were good.

I didn't think Man City would lose either. Liverpool dominated the game more, their playmakers were more creative. As for Man City, I agree that Man City have not been able to perform well in this pre-season. Halaand has also not shown to be the best striker. Their players also look unable to mix. I think the stats are inferior to Nunez's. Indeed, this is only pre-season maybe they are not serious yet and are still careful not to get injured. The score of 3-1 I think is too big a gap.

The performance is still quite good so far. The 2 matches he has played and the 1 goal he has scored is still very good I think.
When he can't score against Liverpool it doesn't mean he played badly and it's still early to conclude things like this.
Don't let what happened to Nunez happen to Haaland because when he was On Fire, things like that would be embarrassing again if he thought he was bad now.

The problem was that it was the first official match for them both Haaland and Nunez, although previously Haaland managed to score a lone goal against Bayern Munich but it was only a friendly match. It is different from the match against Liverpool because at least it is a match that can be said to be official, if in a friendly match each team is just to try strategy, but in the match against Liverpool it is no longer a strategy experiment. So yes, it can be said that the match has high tension which of course, new players will be able to see their readiness in the match and that is an achievement also for Nunez who quickly got his first title at his new club.

At least Nunez has proven to all Liverpool fans that he deserves a high price, his contribution was very clear when bringing Liverpool to the Community Shield champion, he was able to answer all the doubts of football fans in a short time. Despite failing to score in official matches, Haaland didn't play badly. He has tried to give his best for the club, but luck has not been on his side. Conceding three goals is additional work for Guardiola, he must close the gap to prevent opposing players from penetrating his defense.

Like it or not, these two players will continue to highlight their appearance. Manchester City's loss to Liverpool was not entirely Haaland's fault, but his performances will continue to be the talk of the town. Mentality is needed by a player, because if they lack it, it will certainly greatly affect future performances. I hope both Haaland and Nunez get used to that.

The community shield final was a thriller to watch both teams played well but Liverpool dominated in the game. The other time, Liverpool is much more balanced, the players have this chemistry amongst themselves already, great team work also because they made just a few additions to the squad. Though I expected Manchester City to do better than they did but I will give kudos to Liverpool they did a great job, good finishing for Nunez and great work from Salah, they deserved the win.

Yes, Liverpool really deserved the victory from the match. This is a sign that Liverpool coach is fully prepared to win next season title, because all their players that played the game really demonstrated well from first half to second half that was giving their fans more joy for the good performance. I think, Manchester city coach has a lot of work to do for Manchester city to maintain the first position in next season because what people experienced from the match that made Liverpool to defeated Manchester city showed that they need to prepare well against next season.

There will be an improvement over last season for Liverpool. It is reasonable to anticipate another UEFA final. There is no doubt that Liverpool has a great squad. There will be fewer injuries and at least one major and one minor will be picked up. It is safe to put our trust in Klopp. It will be another successful season next year. However, winning the community shield doesn't determine Liverpool's position in front. There is always something new about the Premier League, and every season brings a unique set of challenges, but we shall see red forever.

tottenham did have a good improvement. apart from the good composition of the players. also because we know that tottenham is now in the hands of a coach who is very experienced and is a world class coach. even Conte had brought chelsea to become champions in the premier league. So I think there will be a lot of surprises in the Premier League this season from Tottenham.

we look forward to how some teams will compete harder with the favorites last season. EPL fans will certainly be happy if there will be more teams that make the trophy fight drama even more exciting.
Tottenham I think will be the most surprisingly big team like Man City and Liverpool. It all depends on the consistency of the performance of each team. because some are playing well at the start of the season and they are messed up in the middle of the season.

I think I agree with you. because sometimes a team can play well at the beginning of the season. but sometimes a decline in performance can occur in the middle of the season or even at the end. something surprising happens sometimes. and sometimes that's where the fun happens where there is always a team that comes to the surface without us expecting it. So we can't jump to conclusions too quickly before the Premier League starts.

2 - Arsenal are proving to be a strong team in attack, that will be a big problem, I think they are at the level of being candidates to win the premier league

Haaland should be given some time to adapt indeed. Actually he wasn't that bad in the Community Shield game. He was just unlucky especially about that absolute goal chance he found in the last moments. Every striker can experience this kind of moments so it isn't a problem at all for me. Let's just wait for the season to progress for some time and see what he will start to do in time. To tell the truth I don't expect him to have big difficulties in playing compatibly with Guardiola's system.

Arsenal are genuinely looking like a title contender at the moment, their attack has got a spark again. I'm surprised to see Liverpool do so much better than Man City in the community shield as I expected a close match up but it wasn't the case. At the moment, indeed Spurs look better and have better squad depth as well but, we'll have to wait until the coming weekend to actually know how things are going with the squad. Ultimately, consistency wins you championships or get you into the Champions League spots.

The season hasn't started yet. So it is foolish to say which team is stronger or which team will win the title. Manchester City had a poor performance against Liverpool. Everyone expected more from Manchester City. Let's see how City perform in the Premier League. On the other hand, Arsenal's performance is good enough now. They have scored 20 goals in the last 5 matches. Arsenal's attacking players are playing well now. If they can continue this form they will be in the top 4 of the table.

Liverpool is not a regular team that anyone can just scored goal easily, if haaland did not score goal against Liverpool I don't see that like he is weak or can't perform better, it is too early to conclude about him. Haaland is a talented player and will definitely give his best to Manchester United.

Arsenal team play is very good and at the moment it looks like the mentality of the team players is experiencing a tremendous improvement but keep in mind that during this time if we look at almost all the teams they will not be able to keep their performance to stay stable throughout the season, so if the Arsenal team they can't implement a game like this in their first match against Crystal Palace and can't come out victorious then it's likely that their performance will go down again.

Yep, it is not too bad. At least, he already scored in the two early matches. Although these are pre-season matches only, it is also an important match to play. Haaland can start to adapt to other players in the real match. But failing to score in the match against Liverpool was really unfortunate, Man City fans must expect to see Haaland's contribution in that match.

Can't score and can't deliver assists, is simply categorized as bad performance. How we can state that he played not bad if he can't give any contribution, mate? Undecided

Boring game if you ask me mate.
Spanish sides was much better than Manchester UTD.
Amad scored from a rebound shot of Telles
Did you see the frustrated face from Erik in the first half

I quite agree with you on the fact that the match between Manchester United and Rayo Vallecano wasn’t really an interesting game. I as well as millions of others, I’m pretty sure had expected the first half of the game to be very productive with shots on target and ultimately goals. But we had none of that in the first half.
The second half was a bit better than the first as we witnessed goals. And Ahmad, the substitute brought in to replace Ronaldo ended up scoring a not so impressive goal but a goal nevertheless.
