city versus burnley
despite the recent overreactive and vicious criticism of our club, I think we'll beat them at their own ground, We are not expected to, but we will.
0-1 Burnley win, and it will wipe the smug smirk of the fatheaded pundits at least for one day, sod off pep, you petulant , cash backed nonentity.

4/5-0. Unfortunately, I can’t see any other possible result. Suck it up and move on.

Can’t see it sadly as much as I’d like to. Can see a pretty straightforward City battering.
If we’re smart, we’ll continue to sit deep and defend even if we go 1-0 down. Open up and try and attack when it’s not the last 10-15 and the floodgates will open. Can’t lose focus regardless.

Going to be an immense struggle based on current form. Hoping Hart has a worldie to prove a point at his old stomping ground.
Happy if we could grind out a 0-0.

Big odds for a draw (e.g. 0-0 40/1) and us to win (e.g. 0-1 66/1).
I'll go 3-0 City.

If we win the toss we should do a lap of honour. And get a four page supplement in the Burnley Express.

Re: city versus burnley
0-0 for 65/70 minutes with us defending like demons and City having a slightly off day and then, just when we start to believe we might even get something from the game...... 1-0 City, which quickly becomes 2-0 (game over) and then a rather flattering 3-0 in added time. That's the tried and trusted script. (Unfortunately!)

Re: city versus burnley
We haven't a bad record against City away in recent times so im hopeful we might get a point, obviously we will have to improve dramatically on our last 2 performances, but the break may have helped and maybe our recovered injury players could come off the bench for a lung opener, a tough season ahead, but we will be ok.

A point would be good, 3 points fabulous. If we lose lets hope its only by one or two.

Re: city versus burnley
Our good performances have come at City when we have attacked them.
The 2-2 and 3-3 spring to mind.
If we sit back they will play with us until we make a mistake or they will dive for a penalty.
Get into em.

Re: city versus burnley
A perfect match for performance over points.
I can take getting beat, so long as we rectify the sloppiness displayed in recent games.
I'm crap at punditry, but I'll go 4 0 Citeh. A great game for Hart to pull off a Heats at OT performance.

Unless there is a distinct improvement aided by the return of Defour allied to City being off colour, this could be a cricket score.

It's a free hit game, so could be great chance to give Defour some game time.
Re: city versus burnley
The key thing is to keep the goal difference down.
At present there's quite difference (around 10) between us and two or three teams
at the bottom but most of them have played City and one or two others in the top 4 or 5.
That may well change in the next two games if we get hammered by City and Chelsea
but goal difference could well be extremely important at the end of the season
so hopefully we'll keep it down.

Man City to beat Utds record for biggest Premier League win and smash 10 past us. Wonder what odds you can get for that.
Re: city versus burnley
If we don't improve massively from our last 2 games don't think it's an exaggeration to say City could easily put 5 or 6 past us.
Re: city versus burnley
Stick 2 on Fernandinho and job done. 3 points. Easy.

Re: city versus burnley
You can't try and match a team like Man City, and we won't attempt to. And you have to be careful with pressing as well, because they're that good at passing. I'm sure we'll have everybody back and try to capitalise on the few glimpses near their goal that we have, with some dangerous freekicks. Not sure there's many other options against a team as good as they are.

Re: city versus burnley
It would take us to on top form and City to be having an off day for us to get something, much like last season.
Trouble is each of their players is capable of something genius and they've strengthened their back line with Laporte and a fit Mendy.
Only slight positives are that KDB is not fully fit though might get a run out late on, Aguero is only getting 60mins a game to protect him for UCL games. We've got two weeks to train for this too.
Fingers crossed, free hit this one.

A 'free hit' to a degree, but it's not if we lost 8-0. It's only a free hit if we lose by something respectable like 1-3 goals.
