Oh, and if we don't dump Bravo before next season, Guardiola hasn't learnt that particular lesson.

12 shots in the first half, 0 even on target. Burnley 2 shots, 1 on target, 1 goal. Same old same old.

He might as well not be there! It would be a hell of a statement if Pep yook him off while we need a goal but his lack of movement and aggression is an issue.

Diaz on at half time? A pity Nmecha isn't on the bench as well instead of Yaya.

It took their goal, but that's the most intense will to score I've seen from us in a few games, but against this Burnley side it's tough to make any opportunities. You're never gonna get behind the defence of teams like this, you'll only score by pulling the ball back to the edge of the box. Annoyingly, as has been the case for years now, we're let down by shit finishing when it does come, fern zinchenko Dave and Leroy blazing over. Less said about the Danilo effort the better.

We do need a new striker though. Sanchez is the obvious choice. Shame there isn't anybody like him we can go for but 5 years younger.

Don't say anything remotely negative about Sergio. The Sergio police will surround your house for a lynching.

That aspect of his game is really starting to piss me off the most. I get it, strikers go through lean spells where it is not happening. His lack of effort is criminal just standing there in front of a defender like a Static Traffic Cone, Ball bouncing off him in all directions like a pin Ball Machine.

Occasionally he will trot out wide over load the wing, I think he does this to keep warm.

Bravo in goal hardly instils confidence in defenders.

Ederson in goal is the reason John Stones and Ottamendi have had such good seasons. He is that important to our side. Bravo just flaps about in the box like a Pigeon with a broken wing, He is fucking awful.

There's been a lot of talk about being "precious" on here lately. Personally I can't think of anything more precious than losing ones' rag because we're down 0-1 against the number 7 in the Premier League after the first half in a FA Cup draw.

I dont care whatever anyone else says , hes nowhere near the player he was.


How dare you insult a club legend! What about mine and others emotions?
