Match Thread | Man City vs Burnley (16/10/21)

We're all over the place, Pep needs to get them in and sort it out.

Shock horror not first team 11 struggling at times together? Doesn’t shock me at all it’s disjointed etc to be honest. Still should be further ahead

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Started off brightly but last 20mins has been poor.

Bernardo, Cancelo and Rodri our best players.

Mahrez a disgrace.

Sterling fast becoming a fucking laughing stock. Imagine mouthing off in the media and then putting in that 45mins. The balls on him for suggesting he can go and play abroad with his lack of technique. If he turned in performances like that for Real, he would be booed off.

Do I look like Joan Laporta?

Not sure, do you have a pic you could share?

 

[Shaffer92]

How can sterling talk shite to the press & play like that. Zero effort from him

It's one thing to be struggling offensively, but not putting any pressure on their CB's and letting them float it over top our defense is inexcusable.

 

[MCFC1993]

Grealish on.
Foden up front.
Sterling or Mahrez off.

Put a rocket up the arse of whichever one stays on and tell them Gundogan or Palmer's on for them if they don't sort it.

Contrary to popular belief, I actually think we were rather good in that half, barring a nervy stoppage time.

The only concern is obviously a lack of clinical edge, and also Laporte and Cancelo having 'moments'. But overall I'm happy.


Rodri, Bernardo, and Steffen have all been particularly good.

 

[Keeper!]

rubbish, too many players not wanting to be on that pitch, we have issues with Sterling and Mahrez, lost hunger and desire.

 

[mosssideblue]

can't tell who's worse sterling or mahrez

Sterling for touch and control, Mahrez for decision making

 

[Afterthefact]

We always drift too wide on the break/counter. Everyone practically takes themself out of the play and then inevitably there’s a ball that has to go wide and everything grinds to a halt to collect it.

 

[youngbob]

Started well, got the goal, but have ground to a halt since then. This is what we miss when Grealish doesn't play - he always keeps us ticking over in possession. Burnley & Dyche remain the most annoying fuckers in the league.
