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

[phargrave]

Burnley one shit on target 1 goal…..

 

[Jimmieblue]

Any positives ??

 

[jrb]

Sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards, pivet, pivet, pivet.

I thought Come Dancing was on tonight?

 

[SheeshKebab]

We can mask it with a win against a shit united and ten man Napoli but poor quality shows through in times like this. Nunes is absolutely woeful, Nico Gonzalez is as useful as a fork in soup and don’t even get me started on Savinho. Either he changes it or we lose this because we’ve lost our balls and venom we had two years ago

 

[SamTheGuru]

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

Sterling at 20 had just had two successful seasons at Liverpool. Mahrez had not really began his career.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Well, HT and 1-1...not very impressive so far.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

He’s essentially a one man midfield in there so I would give him leniency. Reijnders and Savio are the epitome of laziness, running without doing a thing

Rodri palys in a one man midfield and makes it look easy.

Nico is miles away from a top class DM

 

[01cravend]

Triple captained Erling and he's not even gonna have a shot lol... id get Mukasa on at some point.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

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

He will be, hopefully it won’t be in a city shirt

 

[jrb]

Any positives ??

It's still 1-1.

 

[M Gaudino]

Mahrez regen my arse. Savinho is a show pony worse then robinho. at least robinho scored some goals.

Gonzales always looks like he’s about to fall over

 

[uwerosler28]

TBF Sterling was ripping up trees at his age.

11 goals and 9 assists in 14/15 after breaking through when liverpool nearly won the title in 13/14 with even better stats.

also playing a world cup

And what are Savinhos at 21?

 

[TFC]

Still so poor without Rodri. We just don't have anyone who can control the game and help us pin a side in like he does. Nico is a million miles off him.

To be fair, pretty much everyone is :(

 

[PragueBlue]

Triple captained Erling and he's not even gonna have a shot lol... id get Mukasa on at some point.

Same here!

 

[Beanhead]

Stats?

10 goals 16 assists in 16/17 season he would have been 21 I think.

 

[WallyA]

Switch Foden and Reijnders, let Reijnders go wide left with O Reilly to get Doku in the pockets.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

This is a good acid test.

Last year we’d lose this kind of match, let’s see what progress we’ve made

well they’re all playing like they’re on fuckin acid

 

[johnny crossan]

We need a Divine intervention

Savinho hasn’t played badly but obviously he’s the one to slag off it seems at the moment

 

[stan bowles]

Doubling up on Doku, Haaland unable to get involved, the passing is not sharp and often inaccurate. Burnley have been well drilled by Parker. O'Reilly has had a difficult half. Need to see better from Gonzalez and Reijnders.
