Slightly off-topic but does anybody agree that Ivan Toney at Brentford would be a great striker for us?

Not the best performance. Only Bernardo and Rodri came out of that with any real credit. Mahrez and Sterling were particularly wasteful and Laporte could have had a red with a different ref. Cancelo also not on his game and would have been to blame had Cornet scored but a win’s a win so I’m not complaining too much.

Too much tiki-taka blu tack football. But a nice and easy 3 points. :-)

We lost a few 50/50 tackles in midfield as well, looked very lightweight. 3pt the main thing.

Mahrez is shit. Absolutely shit. Beyond redemption. I wouldn't mind if he never kicked a football for City again.

Sterling has either lost it completely or is taking the piss. His head isn't at City, he's gone. On today's showing, we'll probably have to pay someone to take him.

Burnley were Burnley. Always unpleasant to watch.

Thank God for Bernardo, Rodri and Steffen. A class above the rest.

Yikes!!

What would you have wrote if we'd won? ;)

Considering the major disruption these international qualifiers cause us I think we did well

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Can’t believe the bitching & moaning both at the performance & result, that’s 3pts & we move on. This is how we won the league last season, grinding out 1 and 2 nil wins, but this season we’ve started early, have people forgotten the 2 away performances we’ve just had against fellow title contenders & the football we played? I’d make a fortune selling big boy panties on ere

A frustrating performance really but happy for the three points. There was always going to be changes in the team after the interruption caused by those internationals and the champs league game midweek. There were a number of sub par performances but thank goodness for Bernado, Rhodri and Steffan. Others huffed and puffed and others were really not good at all. I was disappointed Palmer didn't get on the pitch on at least 80 mins rather than 90, that just seemed pointless.

 

[Karl8]

looked like a pen on Phil at the game towards the end? Yes or no?

No, thought he was stumbling and would have fallen without the challenge that was made.

 

[Bandofblues]

Mahrez and Sterling and Foden and KDB not so much.

 

[super_city_si]

The form Sterling and Mahrez are in.

We really should be giving Palmer 30 minutes here, and there, Blooding him in.

This was an ideal game for the Lad.

Very disappointed he didnt get at least 10.
