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

[Lemon7277]

Really poor first half. Very lacklustre performance.

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

Bet his Mrs has a TRMENDOUS one tho

 

[marco]

got to becarfull here,burnly quite capable of smash and grab and that would be disaster

 

[Micky Blue]

Reijnders seriously showed up for 1 game then decided to check himself out.

I agree.
But there’s a player in there somewhere.
Hopefully he shows it soon.

 

[CPPSC]

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.

How do you counter attack a team that doesn’t attack?

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

How do they turn a great defensive and tactical performance from last week to an uninterested shit against a Burley team at home?

Reijnders, Gonzalez, Nunes, and Dias showing why we are concerned about their performances. Savinho showing a performance that makes you question why we haven’t sold this kid to Spurs.

Doku is great though.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

There's me thinking 4 or 5 -0 christ on a bike blues wake the fuck up

Same here, except I was thinking maybe 6. It seems we're both a bit misty eyed about what we used to do to Burnley every game and think we can still do that just as easily.

With that said, we got 45 left to hopefully get our arses in gear and grab a few.

 

[uwerosler28]

ffs how have we gone from Mahrez and Sterling to Savinho. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the team.

I thought Reijnders was going to be brilliant.
He still can be, but he’s been so, so poor.

Either way this is a team we should be hammering and 2 years ago we would.
This Shows how far we’ve slipped.

What was Marhrez and Sterling's output at Savinho age??

 

[Chak19]

Savinho not tracking his man, and Dias's pathetic effort to block it, such a shite goal.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I think Mega is overdoing it a bit.

Just a tad.

 

[Fordyboy46]

That just about sums Sav up

Six year contract extension lol

 

[city5189]

Reijnders off for Kova and guarantee we look better

He's to far forward,he needs to make runs from deep while we're in possession otherwise it's to easy to defend.
Apart from wolves he's been disappointing tbh
Although him bedding in the team will cut him some slack

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Fukin hell how shit was that from sav
Severe lack of quality in this team
Our only outlet is Doku who’s running his bollox off.
Burnley look more dangerous
We will probably still win but at home to a Burnley type team was never a worry a few years ago.

If we keep relying on Doku at this stage, he might get burnt out or pick an injury during the build up to the Christmas run of games and if that happens, God help us.

 

[christened at st marks]

Dogshit midfield, Pep being played, nothing will be done, Dias coming out with the ball with Stones on the bench.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Get Bobb on for the second half.

Nothing will ever change my mind when it comes to Savinho, We should have took Spurs money when we had the chance.

We'll be a better side in the second half and win the game.

Come On City.

 

[sh249]

Very hit and miss going forward. Only Foden who looks like he might knit things together.
As ever, too open defensively.
And generally, far too many poor decisions and lax mistakes.
All a bit predictable.

 

[SanPellegrini]

Nunes absent for their goal. He is simply awful.

 

[Damanino]

miss the days when we ripped these level of opponents apart with 5-0 or 6-1

 

[Gorbachev]

We can't string 3 decent games together

Pathetic really.

Savinho really poor
Gonzalez looks lost and has zero quality

Throw in amateurish defending and that's where we are!!

Savio is not a Manchester City footballer. Not a starter anyway.

Gonzalez, I am sorry, I want to like him, but he would look out of place for a team like Forest.

He just cannot dictate a game to the level even required against a side like Burnley.

 

[Beanhead]

What was Marhrez and Sterling's output at Savinho age??

TBF Sterling was ripping up trees at his age.

 

[King Jay]

We need a 6 next season. Again. Baleba and Wharton both should be on the list. In terms of pace and also passing range. Gonzalez can only play passes around 5 metres
