stoke and city losing to mediocre bundesliga sides cologne and stuttgart with like 10% of their budget
i know only pre season, but with only 1 week left until season starts it was kinda serious at least

look where this senseless spending is getting you

Riveting tale chap

When will people realize friendlies are just matches to get fitness back..

earlier in pre season yes, but not 6-7 days before the start
last rehearsal is a halfway important game imo

stoke sold nonzi m8, relegation candidates
wat is city line up?

Not for the first team regulars imo, they have nothing to prove on preseason while the youngsters do

george evans in CM for city and this topic
lol srs

not saying you are wrong, but what they did is still ridiculous
and as footballers we both know that its impossible to be shit in pre season and then shine a week later
city is finished, 4th place at best



they had all their guys playing
dzeko and sterling were only visible when stuttgart had their own crap players on the pitch later on

just wanna provoke a bit here as well ofc

The period immediately before the start of a new season, in which athletes undergo intensive training and participate in exhibition games.

the thing about preseason... it's preseason for stuttgart and cologne too. just saying. but yeah, we should not overrate these results...

and city's lineup:
Hart - Sagna, Kompany (46. Denayer), Mangala, Kolarov - Evans (81. Lopes/89. Garcia) - Navas (74. Dzeko), Nasri (46. Zuculini), David Silva, Sterling - Bony (46. Iheanacho)
