Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Burnley (27/09/25)

[King Jay]

Kovacic will start the moment he is 100% fit

 

[bitterblue78]

Woefull

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

We started so well but we need older calm heads out there.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Really poor first half. Very lacklustre performance.

Pissed off going on about Ruben Dias, he's an absolute fanny.

 

[Longballutd]

Piss poor half really

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Kovacic on for reijnders pls

I never thought I would want Kovacic to be subbed on.

 

[yankblue]

Look, we'll probably get the 3 points here, but it just shouldn't be this hard. Not for these players, not with these coaches, not at home against Burnley. That's what's most frustrating

 

[madloaf]

everyone's fucking jogging. counter attack FC my ass

Lol. Anyone who believed that was a sucker. The other coaches might as well go home. There's zero difference in the way we play now than last year other than we have less injuries.

 

[heslops barnet]

The team stopped playing after 20 mins

Not been impressed with Reijnders.

Amongst others

 

[baggy]

30mins playing at home against Burnley and we look devoid of any ideas. Christ we're looking shite...

 

[hertsblue]

The team is is a current state of okish.

Lowering expectations is required.

This. Atm we are not even a top 6 side. Too many mid table quality players and boring nullifying tactics not getting the best out of the players.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Not beating these inbred clogger cunts is honestly unthinkable.

 

[Phoenix900000]

That last 10-15 mins was extremely poor

 

[MCFC1993]

Go 1 up and then switch off, shocking.

 

[Gabriel]

Our front six had a decent first 25/30 minutes but I think the goal made them think we would just easily steam through these lot, still ages left and pep will toast em at ht

Once the goal went in, some maybe started playing with an eye to Monaco.

 

[wolviedinho]

Not against Burnlay at home, no

Just not quite good enough.

We look ok in spells but then we have spells of shitness.

The level has dropped badly.

Top 4 is the best we can realistically hope for imo. Anything else is a bonus.

Team is just not as good as previous versions.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

No sugar coating, that was an awful half of football. Some good things but overall really poor. Need to step up a gear or two in the 2nd half.

 

[Chak19]

Wake the fuck up, if we don't win this it's absolutely criminal.

 

[borassic]

Reijnders is a mad one, looks mega in spells but his defensive work and final ball has been wank today.

 

[oldius]

Good start but conceded too easily. Usual match day thread, of course.
