Burnley v City - pre-match

[mosssideblue]

I'd take a 2-1 right now.

----------------Bravo----------------
Sagna Otamendi Stones Kolarov
-----------Fernandinho------------
---------Gundogan Touré---------
-----Sterling Aguero Nolito-----

In the unlikely event we secure the title with a few games to spare I vote we start Sagna up top every game until he scores for us. Probably his last season here.

I'll take three points no matter how we get them

This type of shit belongs on the caff. What are some City fans turning into ?

A clean sheet victory,no injuries or reds please.

This^ Burnley will be smarting after the w.brom drubbing. Praying for three points, any score line, and no injuries please!

 

[pudge]

A clean sheet? lol

 

[Jazzman]

As this will be our 3rd game in 8 days, 62 hours after the last game, I expect another game where we will have to be economical with our resources. So it may be slow again. I will take any kind of win, main thing is to get the 3 points in the bag, an afterwards we have a whole week to prepare for Chelski.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Burnely are in the top 3 of Km ran per game so we aint going to have it easy.

Most of that has been chasing shadows though ;-)

It will be hard. We've not done well after CL games and this is a Saturday after we've been away on a Weds. We should nick it, but this is a game to grind out a result. It wouldn;t shock me if we got beat, because we let in soft goals. We're not like Chelsea or Spurs who can not play well but be difficult to score against. I know our defensive record is OK, but we always seem to concede 1 soft goal a game from maybe the opposition's only attack.

I'd be looking to use fresh players where possible eg Kelechi, Nolito, Clichy, Sagna

Not like you to be so optimistic.

I didn't think I was being optimistic. I think we'll nick it but it will be tight as Burnley will defend and scrap like mad

Rags had 32 attempts on target and didn't score against them,they are decent at defending when they want to be

Not really, the rags just couldn't hit Yaya's arse with a shovel that day.

 

[Eccles Blue]

It won't be remotely true and I'm shocked you'd even give credence to the theory.

It would also be fuck all to do with Pep. He doesn't set the bonus structures.

The reason I gave credence to the theory was because I remember the team we put out against the rags and that makes me wary. Sorry.

So making a prediction is not allowed? I think burnley are proper shit and we have give them a good hiding there a few times. They lost 4-0 to west brom and we beat west brom 4-0 and i wii be putting money on 6-0!

Of course making a prediction is allowed. Making a stupid one just draws attention. If your using x beat y and we beat x by the same amount to warrant lumping money on us to win by 6-0, more fool you.

Any win will do, I couldn't give a fuck if it's 0-1, and the goal was a jammy one.

thanks to b.t.sport we are playing two and half days after a european away fixture.
oh how they must've chuckled when they chose that one.

This,it's ridiculous we have the early away game after last night,just grind out the win if we can and get home

 

[cleavers]

Liverpool 26 shots, and 81% possession, and lost 2-0, it won't be easy by any stretch.

 

[Indaparkside]

Players today don't fly economy they have massages on planes all the luxury etc probably get home quicker than we did driving back from crystal palace with our squad it shouldn't be an issue not as if they busted a gut last night lets put all this negativity behind us and smash them if the rags had a proper striker they would have scored 10 w.b.a. Smashed them they are total shite we are city come onnnnn

exactly. Lets get the three points by hook or by crook and then regroup

 

[MeatHunterrr]

in 2014/15 season we only got 1 point against Burnley from 2 games and we still mostly have the same players. Inconsistency will most likely continue, 2-2.
