I get that ! Perhaps its us City fans who dont like this parking the bus as we tend to watch it most games. That's why so many of us enjoyed the Cheltenham game.

Wet much this. We get it week in week out, even against most of the so called big sides. I know it’s a compliment to how good we are, but it makes watching our games really boring at times. I suppose teams just don’t want a 5/6 nil drubbing and are delighted to lose 1-0.

Drab game and one day one of these will bite us on the arse but job done, 3 points and another clean sheet.

 

[Bob Hope]

3 points that's all that matters.

It's crazy that any slight, incidental contact with a striker's lower half is a nailed-on penalty, but you can clearly and deliberately push a player in the back and it's "not enough".

But immediately following that, a similar push on the defender near the corner flag was given straight away.

Solid performance , no passengers and restricting them to one shot on target onto Burnley.

Game management at its finest.

Score within 10 mins, take the next 80 mins off, on to the next one.

Never in doubt.

I was a little surprised that Laporte started ahead of Stones, maybe just for continuity and Familiarity purposes. But it looks as though the three, including Dias, can potentially play with each other comfortably, whichever pairing is selected.

Well as bad as you think Walker was he still won the most tackles for us and completed 94.1% of his 101 passes; only Foden had better completion stats but made less than half the number of passes.

I also though his recovery pace was useful on occasion.

That foul was daft and he did play conservatively but I'm not sure he jammed Torres in: I think Torres did that himself and is still getting to grips with our positional play game whereas Walker knows it inside out.

Pretty sure he did create at least one thing on his side with a brilliant long ball that put Torres away.

Canelo is though a different proportion going forward but he still is not as good as Kyle defensively and our current success is built on our defence so I see Walker as remaining important to Pep; plus Cancelo can play on the left, where he and Zin must be ahead of Mendy.

Walker was doing his job as part of a back three today and I'm guessing Pep will have been quite happy with it.

Out of interest how many of those 101 passes were to Dias?

Good job Gabby . Well done. 3 fucking points .
