Match Thread | Man City vs Burnley (16/10/21)

Sterling is poison to the team. Wish him all the best in Barcelona or wherever he goes.
Just leave...

 

[Keeper!]

If we had lost Bernardo our season would be over already.

He is a player who we simply must not allow to leave

Have we ever seen Mahrez this out of form? Seems like he has confidence compared to last season. Writing is on the wall; sub in Palmer after the next goal (although it won't happen)

Mahrez has half a good season since he signed.

 

[Blu1]

I wish Grealish would come on for Sterling or Mahrez.

If it was a choice take both off for him they have been that poor

Foden has been playing too safe, hopefully that changes second half. Bernardo superb again, he just never stops.

Shock horror not first team 11 struggling at times together? Doesn’t shock me at all it’s disjointed etc to be honest. Still should be further ahead

That eleven out there are all internationals. We're guilty of overplaying at times, especially at the back. Stones just before halftime was a prime example he was lucky to get the free kick. A big improve needed second half or Burnley are getting a point at least

Take KDB off, bring foden into the middle and put Grealish out wide..

You never take kev off , he can produce magic out of nowhere

 

[Keeper!]

Sterling, Mahrez a joke

KDB looks physically done and half the player he was.

Raheem should probably reconsider going to Spain to avoid the customary “ball tricks on the pitch” intro. Could pull a Paulinho on current form

First 25 minutes was good, should've been out of sight by then. After that we let Burnley grow into it. I cannot stand when Sterling & Mahrez are in the same line up. Mahrez is off today so far, and Sterling seems to have lost a yard of pace and that was his biggest strength. He's more of a handicap for us atm, he has made a couple of nice runs that haven't been rewarded, but there isn't much faith in him atm that he'll finish them.

Need to get Foden on the ball more, he looks the most dangerous outside of Bernardo and Cancelo's link up.
