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

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

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

Too slow, he would loose the ball easily if he is played out wide

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Off to make a cup of tea. Last time I went to the kitchen we scored.

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.

He kissed the badge at Huddersfield. :-)

Cmon city. Massive half needed

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

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.

For the record we looked lethal on counters vs Arsenal. You can’t play that against Burnley.

 

[Semper aggressus]

What a huge disappointment. It’s fucking Burnley ffs.

 

[super_city_si]

Gonzales always looks like he’s about to fall over

Haha I laughed at that. It’s funny cos it’s true :)

Stay in the kitchen.

Come on now city, fuckin wake up

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

why can't we get back on the pitch on time?

 

[TheThirdDeano]

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).

Jesus

That was utterly ridiculous, what a clown

 

[CPPSC]

It's only half time and beer is still delicious

Never been to the Etihad then?

 

[Damanino]

Burnley one shit on target 1 goal…..

this is so odd how it keeps happening that first on target attempt ends as a goal. I rarely see this at other top sides. they concede too but maybe once every 10 games when its the very first accurate attempt from opponent. for us its regular thing.

Too slow, he would loose the ball easily if he is played out wide

It's not about pace for these rotations, he can cross pretty good from out wide.

The main purpose is to get Doku in the middle.

 

[hoppy]

Come along now Manchester City, shape yourselves.

He brought his account number and sort code.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Frankly don’t think it’s been nearly as bad as some are saying, but I do think we are playing too narrow, while pumping the ball wide to the wingers.

Very congested, so we are struggling to find spaces, yet the ball is not coming in from the wings…or at least the right wing!

I’m expecting 3-1 or 4-1 by 95 mins, but the longer it goes at 1-1, the sooner the twitchy bums start and the greater confidence they’ll take from it.

 

[borassic]

Come on lads, have faith. Big half coming up
