Burnley Vs City Post Match Thread

[ballinio]

Not a huge fan of Pellegrini and his tactic (yep tactic) but tonight that was all about the players. We seem to be getting outworked in every game and getting the results we deserve. We have to blow Barcelona away on Wednesday now but quite frankly their seems to be a lethargy throughout the club. As fans we seem to struggle to raise the enthusiasm and now the players seem to have caught the same disease. Very,very strange and inexplicable.

Spot on mate. No atmosphere at big champions league nights, fans turning up just expecting us to win, can't sell out at home. Loads of people leave early to miss the traffic.

7 years ago I would have given my right testee to be where we are now. COME ON CITY!

here we go, didn't take long.

Is this the 2012/13 season?
Groundhog day...

its bobby manc all over again, the players know hes on his way so throw the towel in, why do we keep making the same fuckin mistakes.
the only difference this time is they've chucked it well before the end of season.

Zabaleta: Can't find the thread on him. He looks absolutely fucked. Completely lacking in energy and far too easily beaten by just about anyone at the moment.

He had a number of opportunities to over-lap Navas and didn't bother - not sure why.

Looks a pale imitation of the player we have come to love.

What I think we saw tonight is effectively the end of an era for us. This team is now heading downwards rather than up. This was not a ‘one off’. Having seen magnificent, flowing football which has won us titles and cups, we all expect, anytime soon, that normal service will be resumed. However, this constant ‘stuttering’, with the occasional good performance (Stoke away?) interspersed with disappointing, below par and laboured performances looks like it is the ‘new norm’ - it has gone on for too long for it not to be.

Some of our ‘sacred cows’ have now reached a stage where, if we are to evolve and improve, will have to be moved on or, at the very least, not be guaranteed a first team spot. Yaya needs to be shipped out. Great, great player when he wants to be, but at 31 and looking increasingly disinterested, time is up. Vinny, Zabaleta, Silva and Aguero are all pretty much ‘shoe ins’ into the team, but they are below par as a collective to often these days.

We need an injection of 3 top top class players to give our existing quality players a lift and to replace some of them.

In the meantime, the team, management and fans should not take the media circus seriously, in anything they say, but particularly the bit where they assume that we are guaranteed a top 4 spot.

I knew it. It's a rags thingie. The moaning and despair after a match loss. Not a Blues 'un, is it.

Any lurking rags filling this thread with tears would kindly follow suit?

It's just one of those things, both the team and fans have been a bit off this season , both will be raring next season , we seem to have one good season and one bad.

Poor performance and poor fans I'm afraid. At the game and the amount of jeering and booing was a joke worst I've ever seen City fans. Singing for Mancini? Booing the Champions?

JOKE

Some of the fans are becoming more rag like I'm afraid. Sense of self entitlement is increasing. Just look at how some idiots take delight in bashing our players and manager. Disgrace.

This is the entitled modern football fan. Unfortunately can't win every game and there's no easy games in the premier league.

We aren't entitled to win every game; that I agree with. But we are entitled, whoever the manager and players are and whatever division we play in, to at least see the team perform close to the best of their abilities.

I think it's unrealistic to expect professional athletes to play to their highest form every single match.
