City vs Burnley Post Match Thread

[MeatHunterrr]

For me to make it to that elite level we have to learn to strangle the life out of games when we're a couple in front. Far too often at 2 nil we think that it's job doneand there are countless examples to back this upOpposiion teams se to sense this and our discipline goes. Yes we missedkey pplayers I'm this department but the whole squad needs to learn collectively
This should not impact at all on our style of play. Ruthlessness separates this very good from the very best

Agree. Not often you see Bayern panic or take it easy in 2 goal lead, if at all. Considering we have the oldest squad in the Prem, we lose our composure when in comfortable lead its a bit strange. I thought this process was already done when majority of this team was built in 2010 and 2011. But not now, when most of the team has been together for over 4 years now, the learning process should be well over by now.

We can only hope that this is the last time that complacency costs us this season and the team learns from it quickly.

So disappointed that I have made my first post in 2 years!!
Can anybody tell me why this team only gets motivated when we fall behind or are under pressure. Pelli has no idea how to motivate this team of overpaid pre-madonnas. Second half was hard to watch. I agree that we have been riding our luck last few games but the biggest mistake is allowing Pelli to buy that totally consistent shite of Mandela.... But we are stuck with him cos paying all this money and admitting a mistake is too much to expect from this guy.In summary I think we will win the league by luck and nothing to do with the manager........

With drivel like that, I can see why your not a frequent poster. If you hann't concluded with I think we will............... I would have called you a RAG

FFS! I have never heard such bollocks.
It was pretty clear today that a lot of the players were running on empty, so what do some of the tits on here do? Slag the players off and demand Pellegrinis head. You should hang your heads in shame...
We were missing 3 of the worlds best players, the spine of themteam, and you want to moan and woman like spoilt raggy bastards?
Well fuckoff to the swamp then. These players have given everything of late, 9 wins and 2 draws in the last 11 games not good enough for some.
I'm proud as fuck of my team tonight.

Absolutely.

Rubbish.

No-one is demanding plsyers' heads and when someone plays shit, it's not unreasonable to say xyz was shit.

The happy clappers on here seem completely unable to recognise that posters criticising and expressing their concerns and frustrations, does not make them closet rags or mean that they want everyone sacked.

I find the "well played Burnley, well played City, bad luck, move on" brigade pretty fucking tiresome to be honest, and even more so when they throw in a few raggy comments.

Butty? Bit of a giveaway I'm guessing..
And it's funny as fuck how a city draw gets the plastic rags into a lather, love it how obsessed they are with us.

I'm still a bit pissed off this morning tbf. Not a performance of champions, from manager or players.

If it's any consolation I find the "it's pathetic/shit/unacceptable" brigade equally tiresome and it's true most of you sound like undercover rags. Your "look at me" "10 consecutive wins" thread stank of raggy behaviour. You even put an emoticon in the thread title. Not five minutes after the final whistle.

Indeed. Three times this season we have been 2-0 up only to lose that lead and find ourselves at 2-2. It nearly got us knocked out of the CL.

If it's a one-off, fair enough. But it's happened three times now so there are questions that need to be asked by Begiristain about this sort of thing to Pellegrini and then onto the squad.

Pellegrini was going mad in the second half against West Brom as well. After we went 3-0 up we gifted WBA three golden chances either side of half time through a total lack of concentration and communication and poor defending. We got away with it as their finishing was poor. Pellegrini wasn't happy with the players though. He's normally calm and composed but he was going mad after that chance they had at the far post in the second half.

There's a huge difference between taking your foot off the gas to taking your head out of the game and losing concentration.

As annoying as it is to draw the game, other results didn't make it as hard to take as would expect. Just need to get behind the team next time round and those 3 points chelsea have is still a small margin!

Barcelona first half, Bognor Regis second half

Bognor would have seen the game out 2-1!!
