Match Thread | Burnley vs. Manchester City (22/04/26)

[borassic]

Guehi is making so many mistakes

It was a terrible pass for Bernie let’s have it right

 

[chris85mcfc]

Desperate for the 2nd as we look a bit labored, missing Rodri to control the ball and play the right passes

Hopefully get the 2nd before HT

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

This is ridiculously high line

When has it ever been any different ? If we want goals we have to go high.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Modern football is so tiring to watch. Every game someone goes down for five mins and is miraculously OK to stay on for the whole game afterwards with no issue at all.

 

[Ajm1985]

This is our worst performance for weeks. I can’t believe how open we are.

Hopefully Pep changes this as it’s not working.

In fairness, that's comparing it to beating Arsenal twice, Liverpool and Chelsea.

I think it's been player error rather than system so far - iffy passing, poor closing down etc

Try to put an in an early cross for Erl sometimes.

He’s brilliant in the air and even said he loves getting on the end of crosses.

Bit like West Ham away, just cant get the 2nd goal to kill the game and that bit us on the arse

And these fukers are getting chances thanks to our very high line and stupid passing

this corner my lord

Kush looks like he eats few lamb shanks with bone for snack

 

[domalino]

The last 20 minutes has gone very quickly.

 

[roach3]

Ran is a bit gash

 

[heslops barnet]

Corners, why bother?

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Guehi just proved my point.

Not sure miscontrolling a football is a signifier of disrepect, personally

 

[I'm Blue]

Patience is key here.
Winning the game is the most crucial part.
If we get a couple I’d expect Burnley players heads to drop and then we can think about goal difference.

 

[Blu1]

Having oreilly in midfield alone is causing unbalance all over the pitch for no reason. He’s not ready for this position & we are just wasting his ability

 

[brettplane]

Guehi having a stinker so far, another poor touch and losing the ball, need to cut it out as no defensive midfield isn’t helping

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

In fairness, that's comparing it to beating Arsenal twice, Liverpool and Chelsea.

I think it's been player error rather than system so far - iffy passing, poor closing down etc

I think a collective bollocking is coming at HT. We are very fortunate that we haven’t conceded.

 

[Beanhead]

Jesus.. no mater how much we have improved. The ability to take reasonable corners still allude us!

 

[Legal Alien]

We're hardly going to counter attack these now are we ?

No but they all can't attack, we need some defenders.

They've had 3 or 4 good chances as we're wide open if/when we lose the ball

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Fucking corner
