Kev

Was absolutely exceptional today and got his mojo back, don’t drop him when he’s just come into form.

Jesus starts over Aguero for me too.

I agree but then do you leave Dave out because Bernardo has been clear the best attacking middle player all year.

Does he leave Kev out just to rest up then be ready for Arsenal at the weekend??
Interesting problem to have because up till yesterday albeit injury problems Kev would start from the bench.

I can't argue with you regarding Jesus either he has been tremendous over the last 5 weeks & deserves to start on Tuesday.

I can see Aguero playing against Arsenal & Kev.
Jesus & Bernardo to start with Kev & Sergio on bench Tuesday.

Big call but we have 3 massive games coming up get through these & I fancy us to go all the way.

It's now four huge league games in a short time window.
 
Strange atmosphere yesterday. Last season was a lot more raucous from the 6 fingered brigade. But they hardly gave us a tune all game. And they rammed it out last year unlike yesterday.
 
Sean Dyche should hang his disc beard in shame. What the fuck was that yesterday? They turned up with no intention to win, not even any intention to play any football. They deserved to get an absolute hammering in that game. It wasn’t in the spirit of the FA Cup at all.

If they were going to get beat 5-0 and bore everyone to death with just about the worst tactics I’ve seen since the Allardyce Blackburn team turned up (the game where they got a free kick on the edge of the box in the last minute when it was 1-1 and Pederson kicked it out for a throw-in in the corner rather than run the risk of us scoring on the counter attack from not scoring from their free kick), why not give the fans some entertainment like the cup is supposed to be all about; end-to-end exciting football. There’s nothing to lose. It’s the entertainment business after all.

At one point early on, it took them 3mins 30secons to take one goal kick, one free kick and one corner in a row. Three kicks of the ball and three and a half minutes.

BORING BORING BURNLEY!

The corner flag incident was more exciting than anything Burnley did in that game.

I’d feel sorry for the Burnley fans but they bizarrely love Dyche so I don’t feel sorry that they have to watch that fucking dross every week at all.

I hope they go down in the league. Dyche is a fucking dinosaur. They may as well sell all their midfielders and just play with a ‘keeper, a back 7 and three big men up front for the others to smash it up to. There’s no need for them to have any midfielders on the books while Dyche is their manager.

Have a quick look on their forum and see the poison the six fingered in-breds are spouting about city fans and our club. They've managed to squeeze in every cliché in the book and certainly would be going home with the jackpot if they'd been playing city bingo. You definitely wouldn't feel sorry for them if you did

Very odd of them considering they brought less to a Saturday 15:00 kick off league game earlier in the season than Brighton did and they brought less yesterday for the cup game than Rotherham did and about the same as Burton did a few weeks back for a midweek game when they had traffic problems getting here with many missing the game.

I read this several times and then understood there was meant to be a comma in there but my first reaction was: “Mate, what’re you on about, KDB and Jesus are NOT squad players.” ;-)

Imagine if we had a player good enough to keep KDB out of the team , i can only think of Messi , although i am sure some scouser would put Jordan Henderson's name forward :)

They’d play together in the starting eleven... I need a moment.

I know this really doesn’t matter but when the Burnley defender Long pulls Silva and gives away a penalty I don’t understand why he wasn’t sent off because you could pretty much put your house on it that if had been a City defender he would of been sent off and a one game ban.

This is where the referees actually become human beings.

City 4-0 up and running rings round our country bumpkin friends from down the road and the referee thinks "poor sods they have suffered enough a penalty is sufficient punishment".

That is what will happen if not a conscious decision it is how they react.

I was at a non league game the other week when a lad was sent off after 10 mins and a penalty awarded for a pull back, spoilt a great game but the referee didn’t give a fuck, it’s the rules the liner said to me. If it had been Stones after 10 mins mate he would of been off, bent as fuck.

We used to sing " best team in the world and all the land" in blind optimistic faith. But now it's true!

Haha I remember seeing a guy with a shirt with the words 'best team in the land or the world' on the back of it years ago, often wondered if his non-footballing family had got the wording wrong on a present...are you related?

And anyone currently on the Dipper payroll. In fact, they'd probably put Jimmy Tarbuck, or even Lisa Tarbuck ahead of any of our guys.
