Well, anyone who wants more than all that today wants paradise right now. We win handsomely, rags beaten abjectly, dippers deservedly beaten. Oh, and the kids come back from being two goals down, to win 4-2, against… the kid rags!

My cup runneth over.

 

[Gray]

Funny game, resounding victory but played awful for big portions of the game.

Savinho is a complete waste of space.

 

[Blue Calx]

Two lovely finishes from Esteve, he’s a quality player.

He nearly had a hatrick if he touched Erlings 2nd goal

 

[coolcity]

It's been obvious to anyone with half a football brain that he's a quality footballer. Like many players it's taken time for him to get up to speed in a City shirt - some of us have learnt not to judge to early. Remember "Plodri" and "FFS" - I could go on.

Totally agree with you. Too many self-proclaimed "experts" on here who don't understand why they're not world class football coaches.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

A slightly disjointed performance and we looked out-of-sorts for the last 20 minutes of the First Half.

However there were loads of those type of games in previous seasons when we've gone on to become champions

For now it's 3 points, other results going in our favour, and a rest for Rodri.

See you all in Monaco.

Silvinho is a complete waste of space.

Who?

No we didn't. Who's Silvinho?

 

[blue is best]

Loved Gonzalez today. Another player that needs gametime to build confidence.

Yes, I thought he followed the ball a lot better today, Rodri has obviously been giving him pointers.

 

[Stoned Rose]

One day i'll figure out why Nunes breaks so many of our fans' brains that they can't evaluate his performances on their merit. Maybe it's his face, it is quite annoying to be fair. Maybe it's just needing someone to blame and not feeling like blaming homegrown players who look worse. But it's right on cue, every single week, as soon as the result is bad, some people look for someone to blame and it's always him

Severely at fault for Burnley’s goal but played well rest of the game.

Great to come away with +4GD and 3pts after that, because it could have been a tough old day without Esteve’s own goals and assist when their two defenders challenged each other for a header which set up Haaland… I’ll take that any day though as I think that was quite a passive display outside Burnley’s helping hand.

Felt sorry for Foden. He was dropping deep, finding space in the pocket, making runs out wide and in behind, and he maybe got passed the ball one in every eight times he should have been. USE HIM, BOYS… he wants the ball, he’s good enough to be passed to when a man’s on him… USE HIM!

Great win in the end though!

 

[Marvin.]

I didn't feel like that was a 5-1 performance but we did dig deep to dig that win out in the 2nd half.

Always said he was skillful and obviously a good player. Shame it's taken 2 seasons for the penny to finally drop. Longer than most, but glad he's finally made it.

 

[Burtonblue]

Cracking result and a good performance.

Also, when will people on the match day thread realise a game is 90 minutes and not 45. Some serious bellends on there.

Only some??
Fucking scores of them when I made the schoolboy error of looking at the forum at halftime.

 

[PragueBlue]

No we didn't. Who's Silvinho?

Manager of Albania. No idea why he's a waste of space though.

 

[David Silva #21]

The result was good, but overall it can’t be concluded that we can be hopeful about the rest of the season.
The players are inconsistent, like Nunes, who plays well in one match and poorly in the next.
Savinho once again showed that he is not suitable for this team at all and should have been sold to Tottenham in the summer.​

 

[Damanino]

poor first half but much needed improvement in 2nd.

Burnley is poor and we gave them what they deserved in the end.

 

[simon23]

Great result
Flattering however scoreline

1st half especially poor and sloppy
2nd half better but still not great.

Doku and foden definitely stand out players. Rest were pretty average

Sav was poor. Reijnders needs some serious work especially on his application off the ball....and his intensity levels.

With the scousers losing however that could prove a very important result but there is a real lack of quality at present...we are a moments team at present....just need consistency from quite a few players

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Silvinho is a complete waste of space.

Be careful. He may come good in 2 years and you'll be a "hater" with "half a brain".

 

[Gray]

Who?

Corrected and he us

 

[mac]

We need to fix the midfield and the team will perform. The control is gone and it hurts us because it means we can’t attack effectively or defend. Concern is Gonzalez is just not working. The hope is Reijnders adjusting otherwise we have the same problem as the last 3 years without Rodri.

Doku is finally showing his level.

Don't talk utter fucking shite. Them 2 are only just starting on their Man City journey. They will come through it and learn the way we play. It takes time. Also they are still alright. We are growing and learning in a completely new team and setup.
