1 Burnley foul in the whole game.....

Soft buztards

To be fair, Pep will never be as good—or achieve as much—as Ole.

Sad, but true.

We showed tremendous respect to Burnley...

Only played full on for half the match and, as good hosts, invited them to have a couple of go's themselves to score.

Indeed, they were a tad impolite turning down our generous gifts.

Mahrez not up the standards of a City player. To much showboating with steppers rather than crossing the ball.

Youre talking utter shite.

First post in 4 months and after a cracking game and 5-0 win,you decide to unjustifiably attack one of our own?

Fucking strange.

Surprising given how active Scott was for them in midfield.

Man City in January

Won six
Drawn none
Lost none

Scored 30

Conceded 1

It's even better than that - we've won seven ;>)

I get the impression the chasing pack are getting nervous, shame :-)

Brilliant result against a decent enough PL team.

Form is quite good at the moment :) Great that we brush games aside without too much effort. Jesus is confident and looking very sharp. Thought Mahrez showed more desire as well, although not quite there yet.

Sorry if asked before, but why was Mendy not in the squad?

If we keep going on like we are, we’ll put quite a bit of pressure on the scousers.

We must have a few injuries, Guardiola usually has a centre back and full back option on the bench but we only had Laporte today, would have expected one of Mendy, Delph, Zinchenko and Kompany on there with him.

Man city all game on neutral gear .
Burnley all game on park gear.

Probably, seems strange that he would rest Mendy after the short cameo against Burton. Danilo is playing very well atm though so not too worried.

PEP I'm really pleased for the commitment, and especially with all the games in our legs and minds. We have to improve a few things but we made good movements. I'm satisfied to be in next round and in the draw on Monday.

PEP Its not easy when players have long injuries. Thats why we tried to handle @DeBruyneKev's minutes and of course today, we need him because he's so clever and so aggressive in his game. He helps a lot.

PEP Eight games winning in a row and this month is good. Everybody has played and we want to arrive in the last stages of the FA Cup, Champions League and fight to the end. It’s the only way I understand.

Nice run out for the lads. Burnley are pathetic. Their fans are ****s though so I’m glad they travelled down to witness the lack of effort.

Watching that performance today just makes those defeats to Palace and Leicester at Christmas all the more annoying. We were without half of our strongest XI at kick off (Benji, Dave, Leroy, Raheem, Kun and Eric), yet we walked through that game this afternoon at no more than, what, 70% of our potential. Just how the fuck did we lose those two games, moreso considering we scored first in both of them?

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Didnt look like we broke a sweat and still won at a canter, Burnley are woeful and the fans are even worse. Did anyone see that guy run on the pitch at the end? Looked like he was trying to swing at someone.

 

[Whichonespink]

Brilliant! Done, and onto the next one.

Is that you, Dave Grohl?

And edghill

As was Walker

Will you lot please spare a thought for our great servant, who has been forced to retire due to injuries suffered in today's game....
