Burnley - Post match thread

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

A City fan just called up to say the BBC focussed on Pep's interview and not the win. Lilly got tongue tied and resorted to asking the caller if he went to the game. When the caller said no savage jumped on him as if to suggest that his opinion was obviously bollocks because he didn't go. The guy came back and said he didn't go because he was visiting his mother in hospital, but he was a season ticket holder.....

I f***ing hate Savage.

Did Savage go ?

I'm just trying to understand the last sentence?

They were once kids.

Were they playing at the top of the Prem, scoring goals at the rate Kelechi is doing ?

There was once a time when City fans used to get behind young players & allow for their mistakes & bad performances, moreso than they would the experienced ones.

Now it's the opposite. Kids get less leeway to make mistakes than the older ones.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He didn't have a good game and often doesn't when he starts but does have a knack of scoring goals when he comes on so for me he is worth persevering with. Whether that role will be enough for him is another matter.

We made a mistake going into the season with only 2 strikers.

Difficult decision when we have one arriving now.

The media and commentators are a fcuking disgrace. If I ever see sicknote mcmanaman I'm going to spit in his face after listening to him against Victimpool. The most biased commentating I've ever had to listen to.
Today's refereeing was awful. Mason should be hauled infront of a panel to explain some of his reasons for/against the decisions. There is no excuse for a referee not to take charge of the game himself, consulting 4th official just raises doubts regarding judgement of incidents.
Any other game, a foul would have been given against the keeper, but it appeared Mason was insistent to let Burnley score. The foul after the ball crossed the line should crossed the line warranted a yellow. Watch it back again, the ball goes in off the bar and bounces out, Bravo claims it and is smashed by a Burnley player and then moron Mason gives the goal. Shocking.
As for Ferni, it's a red, we all know tackling like that goes on against us, but we aren't allowed to do it back. We are never going to win this battle. We need to play savvy and do what the rest of the cnuts do, go down like they've been hit by a sniper.

To be fair we did a lot of the latter after the sending off. Sagna, KDB, Silva and Kolarov all got up fairly quickly when looking like they had been shot. It was good to see us being savvy for once.

Did Savage go ?

People in glass houses are frequently too thick to understand the consequences of starting a stone throwing war.

Brought the ball out and passed forward well. And most importantly when we were under the cosh he won every single challenge. Put in numerous key tackles and headers in our box. He won everything.
I've been critical of Kolarov - but when a player puts in a great display just hold your hands up. Today Kolarov was top drawer.

He's been that poor recently that You've warped a solid decent display into something spectacular.

Difficult decision when we have one arriving now.

It was but I think it has cost us because as bad as the defence have been at times, the strikers and De Bruyne missing chances has been the biggest problem this season.

Aleks played well
Just saying

No k don't say.
Your lust notwithstanding.

Games like that make me appreciate being a City fan. Imagine having to watch Sean Dyche's archaic tactics being played out by his talentless players every week!

Burnley are doing a decent job in the league this season, let's not start to sound like Utd fans.

Look on newsnow & see the hatchet job the media are doing on City, for what was an exceptionally good win.

Attacks on the manager, team & players from all sources. Ex rags & scousers chirping in criticising players.

We are required to drop out of the top 4 & make way for the media teams.

Not going to fucking happen.

It is getting really ridiculous , everyone is queuing up to have a dig at our football club and i mean everyone from all aspects , now Pep has made a stand and dismissed some of these parasites that imitate journalists the club should back him 100% and start banning some of the media , if they want a war lets have one. No matter how nice we treat the media they are never going to accept us , so what have we got to lose.
