Thread for tonight?

[boatshed bill]

How bad is the atmosphere at city.

Is it the worst in the entire league?

Are you enjoying anything about tonight?

[warksclaret]

We are playing a top side but in order to even compete we need 11 that are going to give it their all-Amdouini and JBG need to come off instantly. Bring on another midfielder , probably Ramsey)and possibly Forfana.

[Leyland Claret]

We are literally lying on our back and let City tickle our belly. So lacklustre it’s unreal. I wouldn’t pay Amdouni with brass tacks. He is dog

[KRBFC]

Nowt to do with hindsight is it? Vitinho wasn’t even a regular in the league below, and now he’s our first choice right back. Same as Taylor on the other side. So who’s fault is it that they’re now our first choice full backs?

I agree, it’s impossible to say who’s to blame. We were linked with fullbacks all summer, had bid accepted for Maatsen. Manning apparently turned us down.

Did the board not deliver the targets?
Did VK not provide enough targets?

I have absolutely no idea, I think it’s obvious VK wanted fullbacks though.

[morpheus2]

We mustn't forget, we are playing against financial cheats, all their titles and wins will be stripped when they are convicted.

[Tribesmen]

Ohhh well City are too good for us , love to see us score

[Ptangyangkipperbang]

Not going to be bouncing for a routine win against Burnley is it ?

It’s the the equivalent of us playing Huddersfield at home.

They create a great atmosphere in big games against United, Liverpool etc

The only thing they do is turn their backs hug one another and jump up and down like one of them east European clubs Pathetic!

[Westleigh]

Your getting desperate if your complaint is that’s there no atmosphere,is everything else really good for you?

[Pearcey]

Dyche sides took an absolute 5 or 6-0 tonking away at City too, I didn’t criticise then and won’t do now.

It is what it is, inevitable hammering unfortunately. I can’t get angry at us conceding goals at the Etihad anymore.

Of course it is! I’m not saying I expected anything else tonight. My point is that it’s a bit rich you having a go at fans having a go at the manager. I want VK to succeed but there’s no hiding the fact that we have been awful. You bend over backwards to defend him and mocked Dyche when he did well because the football wasn’t pretty.

[Buxtonclaret]

You need some glasses then!

Don't know why, but get the idea sometimes he is only pretending to watch it., he posts such rubbish!

[alwaysaclaret]

We haven't played well. Very soft goals, but City have taken their foot off the gas.

A couple of decent performances, but too many completely absent. Looks like Berge is virtually playing in the back line.

City never had their foot on the gas, as you say a couple of decent performances, but just not enough effort from the majority of our player's, I seriously think most have given up the ghost, there's just no fight.

[HahaYeah]

There is no lack of effort, we are just heavily outclassed.

[Neil]

Give Massengo half an hour. What possible harm could it do?

[Rick_Muller]

Wow, someone complained about my comment criticising the negative posters - can’t be arsed tonight, try and enjoy the football. Bye

[CoolClaret]

We are literally lying on our back and let City tickle our belly. So lacklustre it’s unreal. I wouldn’t pay Amdouni with brass tacks. He is dog

I can only think he's still getting game time because relegation is accepted and so it's hoped he may put on a few performances to recoup his transfer value.

Absolutely miles off what's required in a modern day PL forward and another totally bonkers signing to prepare for a PL season (for the price).

[expoultryboy]

Get Amdouni off and put either Massengo/Cullen or Cork in a midfield 3 .

[Westleigh]

Nobodies mentioned how golden boys handling has been tonight.

[warksclaret]

Give Massengo half an hour. What possible harm could it do?

If VK believes in him, and you would think so if he is a sub v Man City, then I agree. Go 3 in midfield get JBG and Amdouini off and bring Forfana on too

[FCBurnley]

Does Amdouni know the game has started. ? Get Fofana and Massengo on. 2 players with something to prove and we have nothing to lose Haaland on for last 30 ?

[Woodleyclaret]

We desperately needed our mf ball winner /tackler but doesn't look like VK thought this was a priority
O Shea doing well but others need to up their game

I wouldn't assume it's anything to do with resale value.
Amdouni scores at international level. We are just not good enough to set up real chances for a player like him on anything like a regular basis.

[claret3561]

Thought I'd have a quick look at the thread, wish I hadn't now. Some people really need to get a grip. The samaritans are going to be busy tonight that's for sure. UTC

[Cirrus_Minor]

FFS

[boatshed bill]

Does anyone else dislike that Manc-rock music?

[Safron]

We need an intelligent central midfielder who can see a pass maybe it could be massengo?

[Westleigh]

Absolutely dreadful.

[IanMcL]

Playing down the slope with the wind behind us! Come on you Clarets!

[IanMcL]

Bigger bugger hugger

[burnleymik]

Oh god. What a way to start the second half.

[jos]

I couldn’t find a decent stream, so switched to watching Liv/Chelsea reading this thread for updates is too depressing.

[Leisure]

You do realise that we've won 3 game's out of 23 league game's and have a minus goal difference of 23 and counting

Of course I do but this thread is about tonight's game

[Kilson810]

Half time team talk worked then.

[boatshed bill]

Oops!

[TommyPicks]

What is the point?

[Leisure]

Absolutely dreadful.

What is?

[Casper2]

O’Shea showing how poor a defender he really is

[RetroClaret]

Righto that's it. Goodnight folk!

[IanMcL]

Sacrilege! I'Shea turned his back!!! Block was on.
Appalling.

[jojomk1]

30 years since we last won away to City
Are any of that team still available

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Rob Edward’s is showing his class at this level, god knows what is going through Kompany’s head most of the time.

Setting is up to lose game after game. Pace has lost the plot completely.

[Leisure]

Nobodies mentioned how golden boys handling has been tonight.

Well you just have!

[burnley007]

This is embarrassing already

[TheOriginalLongsider]

I’ll carry on watching as I’m a Burnley fan. That’s it. I don’t expect any enjoyment from it. I’m just going to sit here and suffer

[FCBurnley]

Trafford went down like a hippo

[Safron]

O’Shea showing how poor a defender he really is

Thought he was one of the best tonight but you can't defend a player who turns his back to a shot.

[burnleymik]

Sod it. Get Massengo on, let the lad have a run in at the deep end. Nothing to lose now.

[Greekclaret]

Would help if we had decent fullbacks. 2 windows now without movement. We’re doing ourselves zero favours

[alwaysaclaret]

Oh god. What a way to start the second half.

Should have been a very easy save imo, was clear and obvious it was going in that bottom corner, but for some unknown reason Trafford caught wrong footed and beaten again, when the hell is kompany going to see some sense.

[Tufty]

Irony is that even City fans find this boring. Polite clapping at another goal...Zzzzz.

[Casper2]

It’s basic stuff
