Match Thread | Burnley vs Man City (14/03/15)

Baffles me why some of you fuckers bother watching,

This

Though if you don't moan and flap you must no be a blue

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

utterly forgettable, which is problematic in itself.

We're really looking over our shoulders now, we're not safe in the top 4 and we're playing some turgid, slow, uncreative stuff at the moment. The players aren't putting in the oomph like they do at their best, it's just lacking. Apart from Fernandinho, who's been very good, and Vinnie looking a bit more assured, it's been like watching 10th v 12th in a dead rubber, it's like we have nothing to play for. Txiki has a huge job on his hands and by the sounds of LoveCity's shopping list, we're going backwards rather than forwards in that regard as well.

5 years ago we were 5-0 up at this point, that's the type of City I expect to see, I expect to see the verve, energy, motivation, urgency, creativity and flair, none of it is there, and they've had 10 days off.

I expect them to buck it up hugely in the 2nd half. Losing patience with this current side, and management.

I was convinced the ref was going to call it off on account of the rain that day. It was horrendous.

Really do have to question if the players give a shit.

 

[BigOscar]

Maybe it's time to take Yaya off his cake and tranquilizers diet?

 

[PragueBlue]

Pretty average stuff so far but we're usually better 2nd half as the opposition starts to tire and hopefully Toure will wake up. 3-0 win for us.

My premanitions for second half. Fuck about for 15/20 mins. Make 2 changes on 65 mins then another on 80 and scrape a win.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Well, I'm obviously in minority when thinking that, despite the score, we played pretty WELL??

Goals will come. Burnley, regardless of formation, is defending with all 10...

Not worried at all.

I admire your optimism after a season when we have repeatedly failed to do anything against teams that "defend with all 10".

Final score 0:3.

Put money on it :-)

no, I'm sure we'll score

 

[Mickeylad]

I'd like to know how many times we've passed it all the way back to Joe. He's seen more of the ball than our fucking strikers.

Then he boots it up and we loose possession

Absolute pants

Non of the players are playing shit but it's not working overall. one reason is that Dzeko is dropping deep but is too static for the role. The only times we've looked dangerous in that area is when Silva is receiving the ball from Yaya/Dinho.

Also, Silva is the bigger goal threat this season. Makes no sense why he's not playing there. He's the best 10 in world football ffs
