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

Reijnders unconvincing again.
Savihnio offering very little- this kad has zero resilience
Dias not putting his body on the line

Too many in this team are not getting what is needed to play at the level required ..effort, resilience,...even before we talk about the lack of quality

 

[hilts]

So thats what progress looks like.

Where's that bloody dictionary :-)

 

[waspish]

How’s Dias doing without his the fast right back

 

[super_city_si]

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.

We only have 2 players (Doku & Foden) who can create anything.

 

[heslops barnet]

Remember when we had 18 first class team players?
Can’t even scrape together 11 anymore

 

[uwerosler28]

TBF Sterling was ripping up trees at his age.

Stats?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

We are trying toooo hard and making mistakes and the leaving gaps at the back.

We've lost our confidence in half a game. Way too flakey these players out there. We need to calm it and bring on some more experienced players.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Goal comes from absolutely shit attempt to play out from the back. Then shocking attempt to defend a poor cross.

Created very little apart from Doku doing it himself. Haaland clearly not fit. Foden anonymous.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Dias is so fukin annoying at times

Shit defensively and offensively, having said that, our midfield is the worst after the takeover. Tijani Rjeinders is struggling massively; he seems like a Bruno Fernandes-type player, and Gonzales has been poor as well . It might be a good idea for Doku to come inside.

 

[adr2.8i]

Well that was fucking dump.

I’m in a right quandary here because I’m not sure who is annoying me more, Savinho or Reijnders. Both of them are fucking braindead, the decision-making and execution from them both is as bad as anything you’re likely to see from a pro footballer at this level.

I think I am gonna go with Reijnders, because he had the fucking cheek to put that Wolves performance in and kid us all on, that we had signed something special.

Yeah reijnders has been poor. Get kova on for him

 

[Chak19]

And to make things worse, the dippers are only 1 down when they should've conceded 4, just typical.

 

[Blue warrior]

Sav looks like he will be exactly same player in 3 years from now.

 

[ufo]

raindeer and niko needs to hold the ball and control a bit .Need bernie in the middle

 

[WallyA]

We are basically playing against a better Huddersfield.

They can counter better than them, and we struggled to break down Huddersfield barring some magic moments.

Really need to reliably create more against these low blocks, as difficult as I know it is.

Teams are realizing how good 541 is (look at Palace).

 

[King Jay]

How’s Dias doing without his the fast right back

Very good. He got his extension and can scream all over the place to confirm how much of a mentality monster he is.

 

[SWPISHOME]

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

He can just about run 5 metres too.

I'm about 3 stone overweight and I reckon I could give him a head start.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

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!!

Two CB’s have been shite. Their passing is awful.

 

[drthingy]

Didn’t look like we have many game changers on the bench- Bobb for savinho ?

 

[Micky Blue]

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

Couldn’t give a fuck about his age, he’s not good enough.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Back to the slow rubbish again, nothing's changed.

I think we have tried to play first touch and fast , but most of the team has poor touch and keep giving the ball away .
