MIGHTY CLARETS versus Manchester City

[DCWat]

Bloody hell - nine times out of ten, Sterling hits that over the crossbar!!

[icu81b4]

Rats and rats ( I didn’t see the first one )

[wilks_bfc]

Vyds in behind
Was offside but should have hit the target

[Elizabeth]

That’s his one downfall , imagine how we would have felt if he was onside

[Goalposts]

I think they can get close to Utds 9 from last night if they really go for it

[tarkys_ears]

??????

They foul. They get free drop ball?

[boatshed bill]

Yeah he’s solid... second goal from the left back position.

They do us from there when Taylor plays too.

[Safron]

??????

They foul. They get free drop ball?

Yes correct decision it's that way in every practice match

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

That had to be a fk for the arm across Tarks face. What the hell is his arm doing stuck out thereif not to block Tarks run.

[Boss Hogg]

I’ve a bet on at 0-5 . Not cashing out just yet. Quietly confident.

[Vino blanco]

No foul was given ref played on, they had possession so their ball.

[Jimmymaccer]

Jay Rod having a training session chasing shadows.......

[tim_noone]

The commentator on BT giving the impression hes from Brazil or somewhere with his pronunciation of the city players names....ffs this world has gone mad!!

[MDWat]

This is soooooo boring

[claretgimmer]

We must be bottom of the league for ball retention, poor passing and poor control, not down to city just poor players

[Goalposts]

I’ve a bet on at 0-5 . Not cashing out just yet. Quietly confident.

You could get 20-1 on that earlier today

[tim_noone]

This is soooooo boring

Its not that good...

[tarkys_ears]

Who's this MACK neill I keep hearing about or this Good-MONNN-son

Bet he wishes Trippiéré still played for us!

[Jimmymaccer]

Phew half time..........pizza and chips ready!!!

[jedi_master]

Get Mumbongo on at half time, why not. We have no chance of getting back into this, ideal opportunity.

[bfcmartin]

Leicester 2 up now

[Gordaleman]

To be fair, we expected to be totally outplayed tonight. It's just a shame that Pope picked tonight to do a Pickford.

One down at HT would have had us in the game. Two down, not so easy to come back from.

Gudders is looking good again, when he gets a chance.

[gtclaret]

It's a walk in the park for City

[Safron]

Had to laugh savage saying he's suprised we haven't had a shot on target, he obviously hasn't watched us often

[jojomk1]

Fulham actually giving Leicester a good game but just done by two excellent goals

Thank god

[Vino blanco]

Glimmer, I’ve being saying that for 18 months about retention. First, I don’t think they play that way in training and second our midfield isn’t good enough to retain the ball ( something I have been saying for months and months).

[Boss Hogg]

I remember now why I gave up watching formula 1 when Shumacher just dominated it. You can also begin to understand why Scottish PL teams other than Rangers and Celtic get such low attendances.

[Prefeot]

Vydra is class.

[ClaretMov]

I know its Man City buy Dyche gets the formation totally wrong everytime we played them, he learns nothing it's always 4 nil 5 nil and repeat, he surely must see 442 doesn't work v these

[IanMcL]

Not good to watch!
0-2 H/T

Here is Madge to cheer us up.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Abject. Purring about City and patronising us let's the players off the hook. They are making it sound like it is the FA Cup with a Conference team. We've been awful. Nothing to do with City, this is a bad Burnley performance. We have not competed. Sloppy and cowardly in possession. Pathetic.

[matttheclaret]

This game is basically an irrelevance. Be nice to keep them under five for a change though. Main thing is the other game. Leicester keep this up at Fulham, it'll be a good night for us

[jojomk1]

Newcastle back above us now

[Burnley1989]

Glimmer, I’ve being saying that for 18 months about retention. First, I don’t think they play that way in training and second our midfield isn’t good enough to retain the ball ( something I have been saying for months and months).

3 passes & a long punt... repeat

[buzzclarets79]

The same old tactics every game vs City. Why not just try something different. Ok might lose still but we might surprise them.
Yes City are class but yet again we just make it all so easy for them.

[Woodleyclaret]

Straight red for the off the ball slap on Tarks but once again VAR is xxxxxng useless or rather the clown working it is

[Boss Hogg]

You could get 20-1 on that earlier today

I put bet on yesterday and couldn’t believe how generous the odds were.

[jojomk1]

I know its Man City buy Dyche gets the formation totally wrong everytime we played them, he learns nothing it's always 4 nil 5 nil and repeat, he surely must see 442 doesn't work v these

Alan would like him to stay for the next 20-30 years

[IanMcL]

They consistently get to tye line and feed it nicely across for their mate to tap in.
Some manage it once or twice. They just do it!

[Goalposts]

Agree should be 1-5-5

[Spijed]

What's puzzling is that other teams always seem to defend better against them.

I thought that, that is basically how they get o many goals year after year. If a side has a trademark thats citys

[tarkys_ears]

I'd give a testicle in exchange for a shot on goal.

I think I'll somehow be OK tonight though.

[SalisburyClaret]

Not going well on and off the pitch at the moment

[Dark Cloud]

Vyds got hurt quite early on I think and is struggling somewhat, which is a shame because we've actually got in a few decent situations up front.

[ClaretMov]

Alan would like him to stay for the next 20-30 years

Is Alan on the Turf tonight, because he's been very very quiet on social media for a few days he seems to have gone missing

[Wellsy1882]

Vydra doesnt seem arsed amd jays not touched the ball
Pieters just lumps it anywhere and dwight runs into trouble.

Jus a few passes together will do never mind a shot

[Boss Hogg]

We ought to try something different and give them something to think about but we are going to lose anyway. It’s men against boys really. Be good to give a good run out for Mumbongo. I’d hook Jay Rod hardly noticed him on the pitch.

[DCWat]

To be fair, we expected to be totally outplayed tonight. It's just a shame that Pope picked tonight to do a Pickford.

One down at HT would have had us in the game. Two down, not so easy to come back from.

Gudders is looking good again, when he gets a chance.

Has he done that much more than Brady would have done?

[IanMcL]

At least there is some sympathy for us, on the box!
