Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

Great to see gundogan in the team with d Silva and Agüero he’s got so much talent and will be a key player for us in the next two months hopefully. Danilo was brilliant too

I thought Gundogan had a pretty indifferent first half to be honest, often to be found in no mans land, but he certainly stepped up in the second half, with some great passes and arriving perfectly late in the box. His 2 assists were very good obviously.

Yes agree Gundogan was superb today. Mom for me.
 
'If I kicked my kid in the garden he wouldn’t fall like that'

He's a fucking prick
Ah yes I remember that now, I thought maybe he had said something new today.

I don't particularly like his style of play, but it suits the players he has, and he gets them to do it pretty well, so fair play to him for that.
 
sat in front row CLB level 3 =Dyche was in the face of officials all game.no wonder he sounds so hoarse in the interveiews.Timewasting was never punished in the first half and dont recall Bravo having to save many at all.Burnley got a stroke of luck but were unable to keep up in the 2nd half-Cork subbed before being booked again- they play percentage football and its serving them well-its not pretty but why change what for them is a great formula-do think he will turn out to be a mini Sam though

I said earlier that I don't have an issue with their style of play but I can't stand him; his comments about the free kick for our first have shown him up again. I'd like to see the press call him out for a change.

Totally agree, it was his player trying to delay it being taken, so we asked can we take it, ref said yes (pretty much the only thing he did right all afternoon), and we score, f**k the time wasting shit, and there is karma, well karma followed a minute or so later :)

Glad it’s just not me that thinks that

Annoying, whinging wanker

He’ll get a bigger job and like countless overrated managers who had a good 5 minutes at some overachieving club, he’ll sink without trace

He's a solid, but extremely limited coach. As a manager he might well have the brains to appoint coaches better than himself, which he appears to have done. The main issue will if he can turn them into more than at tough team, look at Stoke for the blueprint.
 
Even in the dark days of the relegations we've always tried to play good football. We almost always seemed to appoint managers with an attacking ethos. Stuart Pearce wanted to play attacking football, but couldn't get it going. Strangely, he said Manure were a better bet for the title than us in August 17. Classic case of a world class player not suited to management. Alan Ball was another - he gave us Kinkladze though.
No he didnt. The two men were at our club simultaneously, thats all

Pretty much agree, in the end today a team of midgets, beat a team of giants (not just vertically) 4-1, and it could have been more. They had a good first half, and their size dominated ours, in the second half football won, and we only really played for 20 minutes, and used the last 15 to conserve energy, whilst making them run.

A Pep masterclass in the second half.
 
The second half was really enjoyable today. All 4 goals were superb IMO. Kev's pass in the build up to the 4th was sublime as was Sane's goal, the one two for Sergio's 2nd was a thing of beauty and I liked the quick thinking of the first goal. Apart from their goal, which came through a mistake, they didn't have much of a sniff. I thought Burnley were quite poor and "the ginger Mourinho" lived up to his name .... he is also a twat of the highest order and his football is shite!

One of my favorite parts of that was seeing the ENTIRE lower tier celebrating as he ran off shushing their fans in the upper tiers, instead of the cameras catching away fans giving the Vs, etc... really need to put the away fans up out of the way for league games, too. Who needs to see em? Look at United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Sunderland, Newcastle and even the nosebleeds at Real Madrid!

I agree. Games like today showed we don't need away fans in the bottom tier. Having a full first tier with just city fans makes a big difference. Having away fans in the middle just breaks up the fans and stops the south stand singing /celebrating as one - like it did in the second half.
