Burnley Vs City Post Match Thread

[Wretched Vengeance]

Welcome to the internet where you have access to thousands of opinions.

When we were shite I had the opinions of a few: My dad, my brothers and a few mates.

Why do we consistently make average players look like world beaters? Ings brought the ball down 3 or 4 times whilst being challenged yet Dzeko couldn't do it once.

Clichy, Kompany and Yaya lofting 40 yard balls for Aguero to try and win in the air, why?!

Hart being unable to kick with his left foot.

Corners and throw ins utterly abject.

Playing Silva on the left.

Nigh on every 50-50 lost.

Passes half a yard behind players.

I could go on, really really poor and I don't think the players care enough to do owt about it.

I've just watched that video Trapped in the Closet but this gif is not from there... Could you imagine something like THAT?? Crazy!

But this guy looks like the one from that gif so maybe we're close to the answer

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.

Strangely I don't think we had one. Made one for you here:

Clearly City players can talk a good game but when it actually comes to playing they don't seem to care one jot. A disgraceful performance.
Ah well that's the League title over.
A performance by City at Burnley that can only be described as woeful. No pace or passion - just woeful.

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

This looks worse than 2013 .
I fear we could drop out of that top 4 .

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.

Of course it's unrealistic to expect them to be at their best every week. We're not even getting one week in four at the moment though.
Being entitled has fuck all to do with anything, those using it as a stick to beat fans who aren't happy are a much bigger problem than those who have clicked that something is wrong within the club.
This isn't a one off poor showing. In fact the only thing the manager got right today was calling it a "Normal" performance because going off this year that's exactly what it was.

The players looked like they were doing us a favour playing for us and were just going through the motions.

He had a half decent first half yet for some reason stopped his overlapping runs completely in the second. Not sure if it was under instruction but it nullified any real space down that side. Was strange. Overall he was a 6 out of 10 I'd say. Certainly wasn't the biggest problem on the pitch.

We're the real winners. We've got a big training ground.

THIS! This is when the wheels started to buckle. When we moved into CFA. I don't know why. It may be coincidence but we started this trend as soon as we set foot in there.

I wonder if the gypsy curse and buried United tops are finally setting to work.
