Burnley fans.

You don’t deserve Vinny or the Premier League. Go and fuck your siblings.

Collectively we look in very good shape, very pleased Bernardo and Walker are staying, good result, solid team performance but few individual pointers;

Ederson - Poor decision making 1st half, Good 2nd.

Akanji - Looks very fit but has lapses in concentration (same as last season)

Rodri - Consistently performs at a high level, integral player.

Foden - contrary to other posters I thought he was average, I see so many inconsistencies in his game, if we're judging it by actions, he does one thing a 7/10 then the next 3/10.

Alvarez - Tactial awareness poor, decisive actions poor.

Bernardo - Tactically suberb, game management of the highest level, wasted on the wings againts lower opposition.

Haaland - Looks sharp.

Lewis - Had a very underwhelming game, sloppy, and pressed into making mistakes.

Foden is more like 10/10 and when he needs to finish those moves off, he is 2/10...so frustrating to watch sometimes ,could be an absolute killer if he improves his actions near the box...even more frustrating when he is in my fantasy team :D

 

[Match Fixer]

Good performance.

Never a red card in a million years that. I had worse challenges every weekend in Sunday league than that and not a card was shown. Just brushed myself down and got on with it. Game's gone soft. Full of mard arses nowadays.

Clarkie? That was a leg breaker mate, no attempt to play the ball and uncontrolled.

£6 a pint

My mate messaged me from Norway, watching the game in a bar there, it was £12.50 a pint… As Tommy in Early Doors would say..I’ll stay on me own

Pep seems happy to let Walker go wide.

2nd half he stopped asking Lewis to invert and told him to go wide, had 2 benefits.

Another control midfielder took Lewis' spot and Kovacic did this wonderfully, and the winger (Foden) is also then allowed to play more centrally.

This meant the midfield was packed with 3 pure controllers (Rodri, Kovac, Bernie) and both wingers tucking in (Phil, Palmer), jamming 5 in the middle giving the goalie and 2 CB's many options.

This is like full circle from Pep back to Barca days where he played 433, and it became like a 235 in attack with fullbacks wide rather than wingers.

It was probably just a system used for circumstance, but curious how often we see this by Pep.

 

[Stoned Rose]

If they get a decent striker they'll be a real threat.

Will they fuck.

They were absolute dog shit and will finish bottom 6.

Fuckin "yells".

Ok.

Even by sky sports news shite reporting of things blue using the headlines of 'yells' is comical.

Get to fuck sky. One game in and already dressing something up out of nothing.

Even neutrals aren't having it. Lots of comments under the video on YouTube of people saying "It's just Pep being Pep and Haaland's not arsed, leave it alone".

They Can definetly run a lot, a bit similar to Liverpool,but they just dont have good enough individual class in their team

Pep in being emotional shocker.

Spot on.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Really feel for Kev he looked gutted. Looked like he said "For Fuck Sake Man" as he took his captains arm band off

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I'm upright till I'm horizontal.

I'm more interested in who makes the stating 11 v the georgies,in an intense PL game, than Wednesday agin Seville.

Whether Jack starts in games or not is irrelevant.

Alcohol and 24 hour raves are not conducive to elite level performances from professional athletes.

The medals he took on his 24 hour raves begs to differ.

 

[paulchapo]

Will they fuck.

They were absolute dog shit and will finish bottom 6.

No they weren't. That team had something like six new starters I think? They were organised, pressed well and we're a threat in patches. Obviously we're a mile ahead of them but other teams won't be. If they finish outside the bottom three it will be a success for them this season. Once they gell more I see them causing a few teams problems.

 

[shroom]

Oddly fortunate that the pause for Kev's injury allowed Pep to advise the players on how to handle Burnley's pesky pressure, instead of waiting for the HT talk. City locked on after that.

shit stirring cunts , pep was telling haaland about the tempo of the game , whats wrong with coach telling his player about the game ?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

That graphic of City defender money spent versus the Burnley entire squad spend was a sad indictment of Sky Sports. Bag of sad, pathetic cunts.

We were miles below anything like our usual levels yet stuck 3 past them.

They huffed and puffed but created fuck all.

They can’t even defend a corner.

They were wank, mate.

Bottom 6 without any shred of doubt, imho.

 

[East Level 2]

Tackle from behind and not get any of the ball was always a red card.

The ball was in a different postcode.

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Gutted for Kev. Looked so pissed off. Hope we can get him sorted.
