Back injury for Brownhill - don't know anything about Bardsley's absence

Our bench is looking strong.

Be interesting to see how BPF and Benson does.

Big day for Benson, nothing to lose, buzzing for him

Very strange team, can't see how we are going to line up. Hopefully SD is going to surprise us and Citeh by trying something different
Good luck to Peacock-Farrel and Benson, I hope they have a great day. Can only presume Brownhill is sick or injured.

How we will shape up will be the question

What type of midfielder is Benson?
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 2:39 pm
To be fair, SD could have easily put Pieters left mid and stuck McNeil inside in place of Benson. He's gone more attacking.

Nothing to lose. Everything to gain. And possibly a future classic in the making.
Where were you when Burnley turned city over with half a team?

In fact scrap that. Where were you when Dyche started with three up top and some under 30’s

Maybe sometimes you have to roll the dice , fair play to Sean as we all think we will be beaten so maybe have a real go see what happens

Hoping we’re going to give it a go this time rather than the usual timid surrender.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley

That the annoying thing on occasions when we’ve been battered. Hitting the ball up top all game is easy for the CHs. Their comfortable defending like that. They can struggle when they’re attacked in different ways. Hopefully a mix of play today and we can cause a few problems for them.

Dyche is already talking about the importance of keeping your shape. Historically against the big teams this tends to mean us standing off and letting them have the run of it and as we know, with their quality we get punished.scouseclaret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 2:44 pmHoping we’re going to give it a go this time rather than the usual timid surrender.
Going to be a tough afternoon I fear. Hope I am wrong though, hope both the Young-Guns make a big impact.

I think Pep could have picked our side today and he would have put his own side out to beat us . If we go 433 Pep will have to rethink on the pitch . This is a great curve ball by Sean , game on

Afternoon all, sunny frosty day up here in Derry, nothing to lose might as well give it a lash

Give it your best.

Tarkowski. Nothing to add.

Well that was sloppy 
Loose pass by Tarky
3 passes later Mahrez slots pass BPF

Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley

Lazy from Tarkowski
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley

McNeil, you’re going the wrong way.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:07 pm
awful.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley

Excellent pass from Tarks - to their man
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:07 pm
Thought McNeil was weak also
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:07 pm
I'm sorry but that defending was appalling
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:08 pm
Predictable. Just hope we keep the score respectable now.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:08 pm
Such a pathetic goal to concede. McNeil going backwards and Tarkowski criminal.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:09 pm
McNeil put us under pressure then, was bizarre. Poor from Tarky as well
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley

Why oh why is Mcneil playing through the middle and Barnes on left
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:11 pm
Lee Mason will step in when needed to ensure a home win
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley

Plenty of time to pull one back...

We need to take more risks, McNeill won ball had a run at their man turned back and ball ended up back at Peacock for a punt upfield
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:18 pm
Stones has never scored in the prem... Probably worth a few quid for today if you are into betting.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:20 pm
Our ability to pass the ball from the edge of the opposition’s penalty area back to our keeper for a hopeful whoooosh upfield is amazing.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:22 pm
we are sitting way too deep.... our best bet is to lull them into thinking the match is theirs.. and then hope for a last minute equalizer.
Re: Match Day Thread - Man City v Burnley
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:22 pm
What's happened to us this season when it comes to passing forward or passing and moving? Every time we get it we inevitably look scared and pass backwards
