Not so great first half but a wonderful contrast in the second,Aguero turned it on superbly and Sane made one or two forum members look rather foolish ;-)

A very enjoyable game and as ever...we march on!

Sane - couldn't put a foot right........................... but wait, half way through the second half, he morphed into what we know he can be.

Burnley have a population of 70k a small northern market town. They are rocking with the top end of the table with a team of championship players. All credit to them, I hope they make top 6. Credit to Dyche for dicipline, organisation and getting the best he can out of the team.

What the fuck has that got to do with football?

Do they not get any tv money, what with them being a small northern market town?

Or any sponsorship revenue, or is the population of the town going to impact that?

Another bull shit argument.

They have scored NINETEEN goals from TWENTY TWO games. Only four clubs in this division have managed less, 2 in the relegation zone and the other 2 flirting with it in a big way.

What some have to get their heads around, especially in the matchday thread is that the first 45 mins is so important in allowing us to play the way we often do in the 2nd 45.

We knacker teams out, slowly but surely, strangle the fucking life out of them and just because we are not 5-0 up after 30 mins doesn't mean we have played shite or found out etc which is what some whoppers on here actually think.

We earn the right to win games like we do.

This should be posted at the start of every match thread, some right dumb fuckers might have a read.

He has a responsibility to the club and Burnley fans to do his best for Burnley, not the crowd. It is anti-football, but they are playing the best footballers in europe. It's not exhibition football, it's an FA Cup tie. If they are still playing this football in 2 years time, then I think you can criticise them more.

What does time have to do with it?

Dyche isn't adapting his managerial style here, it's all he knows.
 
For all the talk of their defensive excellent they’ve conceded 7 goals in two games against us.

I’d happily take them playing that way every time we play them. So would all of us.

I just wouldn’t enjoy it if I was a Burnley fan.

He always is. Best bet.

Thought Burnley did well. We couldn’t get much possession first half. Thought there number 17 played well and gave our left back problems. Still not sure on gundogan but give him time. Leyroy was good.

Should bravo have saved the goal?

Great day.

No, it was an amazing strike.

Well thats bollocks. Defour did an interview last month where he discussed how Dyche has developed their style of play this season.

I think its absolutely refreshing to see a club with their budget go toe to toe with the elite sides in the league and instead of bending over and getting bummed.

Just seen the highlights, and a few points from me:

1. On the Matchday thread Bravo got dog's abuse for 'flapping' at a corner. Fucking utter bullshit. No keeper would have got anywhere near it, and he was being held by one of their players. Some fans refuse to give certain players anything but abuse.
2. He didn't stand a chance with the goal, absolutely amazing strike by the Burnley lad - again, he took some blame for it on the Matchday thread.
3. Huge well done to Sane for taking the difficult option and staying on his feet to score, as he could quite easily have gone down under the shit challenge by the defender.
4. Great pass by Gundogan.

Can't wait to hear Dyche's whinging, whereas he should probably be aiming any criticism at his own players for switching off for our opener.

Agreed, Bravo was seriously blocked by either Vokes or Barnes for any corners (practically had their hands down his pants ffs) and their goal would have beat all goalkeepers...... ALL OF THEM.

He did the same last season they just shipped goals.

This is a honey moon season for Burnley. Nothing refreshing about it.

Hell take the credit now, the fuckers will probably be relegated next season.

Toe to fucking toe?!!?
 
This league has always had one absolute fundamental rule for teams to survive.

That is scoring goals. Have a look at it's history. If you fail to do that you will either be relagated or something very close to it.

Burnley are an exception to the rule this season. I can't get my head around how a team who have scored 19 goals are in fucking 7th.

Believe me, they will not repeat this next season. All these 1 nils will become draws or defeats.

It's a freak occurrence just like Leicester and their PL win.

lol we stayed up for three years with Pearce as a manager
 
We missed the first 18 minutes because I had to work, but it was worth making the effort to come.

As soon as Stones miskicked that ball, you could see what was coming. Fair play to the lad, though; he didn’t allow the mistake affect him and he was his usual calm and composed self thereafter.

A brilliant bit of quick thinking for the first and some fantastic close control and skill for the second. The other two were typical City counter-attacking brilliance, and it was great to see Sané, whose second half was as brilliant as his first half was poor, involved in both goals. I’m very pleased for him that he’s back on the scoresheet and it won’t have done Bernie's confidence any harm to have bagged the fourth.

I was a bit mystified as to why Pep felt the need to bring on Kyle and KdB at 3-1, when we were in total control, especially when both - certainly Kevin -probably needed a rest more than any other players in the squad. I thought Zinchenko did very well. Yes, he made a few mistakes, but that’s to be expected from a young lad. Maybe he and/or Ilkay got a knock.

All-in-all, a great afternoon and a very enjoyable way to make the fourth round.
