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

[pudge]

Always good to wait before laughing at the early kick off

 

[madloaf]

Any positives ??

It's only half time and beer is still delicious

 

[Gabriel]

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

Certainly don’t look comfortable today. All well and good defending the barricades, but in games like this, when we have possession, they need to dictate the tempo with their passing.

Dias might have more energy and concentration if he didn’t think he needs to run around cajoling and captaining everyone.

 

[SWPISHOME]

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

Haaland will score, He's nailed on for a goal in the second half.

 

[jollylescott]

Come on boys liven up. This is a vital game.

 

[Craig]

Doku the only real threat so far. Need to up it 2nd half and start getting Jezza into central areas again

 

[bluemoon32]

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

The drop off in squad quality has been huge, player recruitment has been dire

 

[Sam69]

Without Khusanov, the team becomes feverish and doubtful in defense, another goal that comes from the right side...

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Have to focus. Get Doku and Foden on the ball. Hook Reijnders and Savinho for their disinterest and that could solve the game.

 

[paulsimpson]

This is a good acid test.

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

Well if we pass the test then it will mean we wont have to endure an embarrassing defeat( havent lost to them at home in 62 years).

 

[SheeshKebab]

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

His end product is awful. Everyone can see it

 

[chesterbells]

Any positives ??

The Guinness tastes great and hasn’t run out yet.

 

[The Black Shed]

Nunes & Savinho are not working as a right side pairing. And Gonzales is on his own in the middle, he needs help.

 

[burning blue soul]

We simply HAVE to find a new David Silva. He's the boy who got us unlocking these defenses when the low block was cemented in.

 

[Beanhead]

And what are Savinhos at 21?

A lot less without the need to check.

 

[SWPISHOME]

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

Dias is one of the worst centres backs in the league when it comes to passing, He's incredibly shit with the ball at his feet.

I'd bring Stones on, at least he can break the lines with passes and travel with a ball.

 

[chesterbells]

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

I hope I’m proved wrong but wish I’d gone bench boost instead today …

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

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

I don’t like slagging our players off but the fact he was begging for a move to spurs tells me everything I need to know about this guy.

 

[jrb]

What has the ex-Liverpool coach brought to the team?

Certainly not Klopp mental football.

He can't over rule Pep on team tactics and playing a certain Pep way.

 

[moomba]

Stopped doing the things that were working and sat back expecting the same results.

Poor.
