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

Not the best of 1st halves, can't see us playing like that in the 2nd half. But Burnley are doing well with the press and making us make those mistakes, they know Steffen is no Ederson.

Nobody, just nobody is like Ederson.

Our new Gareth Barry, so good you don't notice him

Was thinking the same thing. Now, where can we can find a Toure partnership to fill in next to him?

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Dias isn’t just a great player but he is a leader as well. No way would he stand for some of the comedy defending we’re seeing today (goalkeeper aside as he’s been great)

 

[Keeper!]

Get him over on the right, Grealish left. If Pep feels brave maybe Palmer. One of Mahrez or Sterling need to stay in the dressing room

they both do and hopefully a long time before we see them again, well at least until there is a major change in their attitudes, I can take a loss of form but lack of effort/desire is a disgrace

 

[city warrior]

Agreed but he does not look in good shape at all, he looks like his body will break any second

And still two of our best chances were created by him(Cancelo’s and Bernardo. And he is the one who drives forward our break outs.

Those that predicted a Sterling hat trick must be getting worried.

Their blow will be softened once Uncle Madongo’s million dollars arrives in their bank accounts.

Players out of form shouldn’t be anywhere near the team. Trust in the young, hungry, and more than capable players like Palmer etc.

But what happens if those players don't play well either? And their bottom levels are going to be far lower than the likes of Mahrez's or De Bruyne's bottom levels.

 

[Baconsane]

Burnley being very annoying.

Not as annoying as city. If they'd taken half their chances, they'd be dead and buried, and another 5-0 drubbing would be on the cards.

Wonder if Newcastle will come knocking for either of them

 

[Keeper!]

Nobody, just nobody is like Ederson.

very true but Steffen is a top quality back up, we are very lucky.
