• city versus burnley

Posted: **Thu Oct 11, 2018 11:21 pm**

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.

Posted: **Thu Oct 11, 2018 11:30 pm**

45-0 ! that's a goal a minute if they do us in the first half.

Posted: **Thu Oct 11, 2018 11:32 pm**

I'm with the OP. I've always been the eternal optimist.

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 1:33 am**

Aye, Man City 0 Burnley 1 ...we are on a roll...

2 - 5, he started it

You clearly haven’t seen us this season.

If we have as many attempts on goal as they actually score, then I’d be content.

If we have as many minutes possession as the number of goals they score I will be happy

I really need the drugs you guys are on.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 7:42 am**

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 7:54 am**

Have we signed Messi,CR7 and Bale?

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 7:55 am**

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 8:17 am**

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

In chance a not hell's cat.

4-0 City. City will batter us with 75% possession, we will have 1 corner and zero shots on target

I don't know about the win but I do not expect us to get battered. I think we'll shut up shop, get back to our defensive best and get a point.

Probably no different from 90% of other teams then.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 10:06 am**

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!)

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 10:14 am**

I'm going and clinging to the thought that there is always at least one shock defeat a season for the 'big boys'

Hopefully we'll be Citehs this season...

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 10:18 am**

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 10:21 am**

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

Naaaaaahh!
We'll score from a penalty !!!

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 10:26 am**

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 10:30 am**

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.

Disputed? In injury time?

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 12:23 pm**

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

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 12:34 pm**

Head 4-0
Heart 1-1

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 12:34 pm**

We're 33-1 with bet365 you could make a lot of money if your that confident? NOT

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 1:43 pm**

Head says 4-0
Hart says 5-0

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 1:46 pm**

It's a free hit game, so could be great chance to give Defour some game time.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 1:48 pm**

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.

Goal difference could keep us up.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 1:57 pm**

I predict Joe Hart will be MOTM

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 2:09 pm**

Hart, with everything to prove to his old employers, will have a blinder. We’ll squeak a very fortunate one nil win.
Vokes with the winner, from the spot.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 2:39 pm**

Man City to beat Utds record for biggest Premier League win and smash 10 past us. Wonder what odds you can get for that.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 2:44 pm**

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 2:48 pm**

Stick 2 on Fernandinho and job done. 3 points. Easy.

Even Bournemouth wouldn't get hammered and our defence is better than theirs.

So what makes you think our defence is worse than anyone else's when Huddersfield conceded 6, for example?

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 3:52 pm**

We'll need 11 men behind the ball when they have possession and play for freekicks.

The posters who think we might nick it 1-0 are the most eternal of optimists. But the ones who think we will actually get a penalty, you’re just fuckin crackpots.

You heard it here first,, City 4 Burnley 0

BUT I’m going Burnley 1 Chelsea 0 the week after...

I don't. You sound like one of those wallys who thinks cos we beat Bournemouth 4-0 and they put four past Leicester then we should score 8 when we play Leicester next month

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 4:07 pm**

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 4:07 pm**

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.

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2018 4:14 pm**

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.

100% agree, not a time to try out 3 at the back. Playing the Dyche way has got us points against City before, it might do again but It's won't be a surprise if we fail this time.
