This evening’s Members article takes a look over the action in Sunday’s Community Shield showdown between Arsenal and City. Having assessed Alexis Sanchez’ display our lunchtime Technical Area post, we delve into the data to discover for any hints of form ahead of the weekend Gameweek 1 deadline.

Whats the consensus on Rodwell?
Open Controls-
Doesn't deserve the opportunity to play football professionally.
Open Controls-
WTF?
Open Controls-
If you choose to take a bigger wage for just sitting on a bench at city and play football, not because you love the sport or have passion for it but just for the money you shouldn't be allowed the opportunity.
Open Controls-
He secured the financial future of his family...have you achieved that yet? He's not the first player to go and sit on the bench of an elite club. Footballers have great self-belief he would of thought he is good enough to start for City.

Glad you're here actually - you reckon Brucey has someone lined up for Long? Can't seem him siginig off on Long's departure with the punishing EL season ahead
Open Controls-
I think we should try as hard as we can to keep him but a fee has been agreed. Hopefully Brucey reinvests that 12m into another striker, plenty of good ones around. I'd love it if we got chicarito but we will not 😉

Damn, harsh critic here.
Open Controls

-
Keeping an eye on him, he had a decent FF season at Everton before his move to City
Open Controls-
Think he will play a much more attacking role for us, with Cattermole and Bridcutt/Larsson doing most of the donkey work in midfield.. Gus was talking about the need for a 'box-to-box' midfielder and adding goals to the team immediately before he signed.

Thoughts on my defence lads?
DDG
Terry Debuchy Ferdinand ( Wilson, Wisdom )
CheersOpen Controls -
Will Isla take Simpsons position at QPR?
Open Controls-
Looks likely, Simpson is a good defender but just not good enough going forward i.e. crossing and overlapping to really suit wing back system Harry wants to play this season.
Open Controls -
ya
Open Controls -
RWB can play in midfield too but no idea on how ready he will be for season start so Simpson likely for first GW at least
Open Controls -

Any thoughts on this? Went with an expensive defense on purpose because I can't choose any strikers 8.5M or under.
DDG
Baines Debuchy Filipe Luis | Wisdom Moore
Henderson Mata Ramsey Sigurdsson Sterling
Rooney (C) CostaOpen Controls-
Way too much in defence.
Open Controls

Krul (myhill)
Debuchy- Davis-Lovern (wisdom, bruce)
Sterling-Hazard-Eriksen-Sanchez- Siggy
Lukaku- Rooney (Kane)
what do you say about this team?Open Controls -
Anyone want to venture a guess at which price the Man Utd youngsters James and Blackett will come in?
4.5 and 4 would really get me considering them.Open Controls-
But they wont start surely
Open Controls -
Why? They won't play and you will be taking up a United place that may be required for their early fixtures.
Open Controls-
If you had to guess I'd lean towards Keane over either of them believe he has more experience with first team and has been loaned at championship level but you have to think whichever one he picks is going to mean less clean sheet potential for Utd

How about this for fun match days?!
Krul Foster
Jones Cahill Hutton Wisdom Moor
Ramsey Yaya Hazard Henderson Wanyama
Rooney Costa Bojan
Yes, the defence is pretty weak(!), but early season is a mess anyway, and I only need one of H/W/M to play...Open Controls -
Team news section on the way?
Open Controls -
So Who's goin DDG as their keeper? good first 6 fixtures and by then Rojo/Blind/Whoever's comin in should get the backline settled. Could still be a great investment
Open Controls-
0/
Open Controls -
No, no and no. Don't even go there. Hope that Evans starts and go with him.
Open Controls-
so bad huh.. hmmm. Had Begovic in and was wonderin if it was worth the upgrade. Guess not 🙂

Sergio Ramos has never quite been sharpest knife in the drawer:

Reckon Vertonghen will start?
Open Controls -
i have 2 options
a) eriksen 8 mill main mid with isgrove sub
or
b)hendo and siggy rotation
first to 5Open Controls -
First rmt. What do you think?
DDG Myhill
Cahill, Debuchy, Kaboul, Rio, O Shea
Mata, Ramsey, Eriksen, Siggy, Henderson,
Rooney, Costa, BojanOpen Controls -
And Isla(playing RWB) or Caulker or go cheap with no goal threat/injury prone Ferdinand? or just avoid the QPR defense altogether?
Open Controls -
Would you rather have Costa or Hazard to begin the season? Not a fan of newbies straight away but Costa looks excitable.
Open Controls-
Costa.
Open Controls -
I prefer Hazard, because I think he is better against deep defences.
Open Controls -
Costa
Looks like he means business.Open Controls -
Haz.
But can't really decide so I'm going both. 😀Open Controls -
Haha split 50/50. Biggest issue with Costa is it's a striker position, and Hazard might mirror him..

Do u consider this a balanced team?
My worry is no Mata (if so in place of giroud +downgrade a 5,5 defender to a 4,5 one)
Foster - Krul
Evans - Debuchy - Lovren- Hutton - Bruce -
Fabregas - Ramsey - Sterling - Sigurdsson - 4,5 mid
Rooney - Costa - Dzeko / Giroud
Please some thoughts?Open Controls -
Not only did TFF clog up the airways with his quizzes he's now trying to cause havoc with his 'balanced team act' of Rooney/Costa/Sturridge!
😉Open Controls-
Je has a case though 😉 if you do it right, it will comfortably outscore all these other teams

How long is Koscielny/Merte out for?

Dunno, I only need Chambers for GW1 but i reckon his versatility will get him quite a lot of game time this season.
