Match Thread | Burnley vs Man City (03/12/19)

I'm not saying Rodri has had a good half, but he probably won back the ball more times in the last 5 mins than Kante in his entire career.

What he's been the best player by a mile

Just checking - am I on Bluemoon Matchday Forum ? Just wondering cos nobody is complaining!

It’s because we are playing well... been a while.

More like it that.

Severe lack of ruthlessness though. Game should be 3-0 and over already.

Kev looking the business again.

Playing well here, but we are so wasteful up front. How many chances do we need to see out a game

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Nice to see them pressing and closing Burnley down. It gets results.

The biggest reason why we're looking better is that as soon as we get the ball in the first two thirds of the field, we're looking to go forward and through the lines. No dithering, it's one or two touches and go. It's helping us keep our shape and ultimately control of possession better.

Gundogan in midfield has us slow down and go sideways/back, playing too many short passes, almost trying to play little one twos in the first two thirds.

I truly, truly hope Pep has taken note of this. No more Gundogan - please.

All the US broadcasters have it. It's extremely unexpected when you think about it.

You mean expected? ;-)

It is very American broadcasting where even the video replay timeouts have a sponsor in gridiron games.

1-1 anyone

Would not be in the least surprised.Typical City is something which still occupies my vocabulary.

de Bruyne has been the best player but Rodri has broken their play up well
