Manchester City vs Burnley Match Thread

Dropped to 6th before the international break, ffs.

The break might be a god send for us. Hopefully we can come back from it a changed team.

Agree get a manager in that has half a clue.

Does anyone still think that this knob of a manager is good enough for this "project"?

When we play the ball from defence, we look great. When we hoof it, we look shocking. They worked on it in training during the week, yet didn't put it into practise.

Bluemoon and Edge, all is forgiven. Now I want a crack at all those who wanted Dunney out. This fucking Lescott is not a better player. Simple as.

We should've gone for Carvalho like I suggested.

Actually Edge, all is not forgiven. You wanted Dunney out.

Hangeland was the option.

Agreed gives us a little time to get somebody else in ready for the Jan transfer window.

Too right I wanted Dunney out and I'm glad he's gone.

Yeah hes just as fucking bad .

I don't know why the hell there was so much fuss about Lescott when we tried to buy him. For me he is rubbish, has donee nothing to impress me. That ref today was rubbish. Bellamy was clearly blocked at the end and would have nipped in to make it 4-2. Very pissed off. That has ruined my weekend.

[trout man]

The biggest mistake made this year was selling Richard Dunne...end of.. and I dont give a shit about all the naysayers on here that were glad to see him go (and there were plenty). Lescott is a rio ferdinand wanna be and that is scary. He has neither the grit, determination or motivation to be a grreat defender and he is a mistake. He needs to be sitting on the bench for a month to reflect on what a tit he is and if he doesnt improve sell him to MK Dons cause no one else is going to accept damaged goods.

One positive to be taken from the game was Irelands contribution...cant really think of anything else.

I also believe they all share the blame...the staff and players...but what the hell, i'm sure the anti Hughes brigade are massing their armies to the east.

[shawzy]

5 games to grab a win and failed on every attempt...Seriously worrying

[Kyle]

I am pissed off. Although you can't jump on Hughes completly. It's not Hughes' fault that his PROFESSIONALS playing defence allowed that last goal, it was a complete defensive lapse and has nothing to do with Hughes. We were down at half time, came back to the lead, it is the players fault they gave up that last goal. If they are professionals, they shouldn't fall asleep on the job, it has nothing to do with Hughes' tatics.

[dazby]

Is it worrying shawzy or just frustrating? The players know what and how to do it. They're just not putting in a full 98 minutes. It's purely mental.

[paddyblue]

if they do fall asleep its up to hughes to sort it,this is happening week after week

He bought the Fucking defence so it IS his fault. He PICKED the defence so it is his fault. Your logice is sooo seriously flawed its fucking unreal.

Hughes isn't on the field to hold thier hands and shake them to make sure thier not Fucking asleep! They are professionals, play the games until the whistle blows, we shouldn't need to score more then three goals!

[ayrshireblue]

Fed up feeling as if we've lost every game for weeks now. No doubt some smart arse will point out we've lost less games than Chelsea and are unbeaten since the derby defeat but apart from the Villa game I've been gutted at every one of those draws. This was the period when our fixture list gave us the chance of putting some distance between ourselves and all the other clubs looking for a Champions League place.

[blue66]

You can blame Hughes, fact is the players don't show any sign of really wanting to play for him, they are hardly busting a gut are they? Not totally his fault, but this is his team and the buck stops with him. Thed rest of the Prems fans must be pissing themselves, Burnley's first away point this season - its just pathetic.

[paddyblue]

another night of abuse for me in the pub tomorrow,really though that was gone for this season,truth is we are like a park team at times

[david yearsley]

Times up Mr Hughes, I've been on the fence,but thats it, piss off.

Sadly I now feel I have no option but to concur with this opinion - he´s lost me after that - inexcusable

I never knew my logice was flawed, i'll have to check that out.

I agree about tactics..We should have murdered them, but the players are makin terrible errors at defending as a unit.
Lescott bein the main culprit...Ned will be back soon and Kompany is bein wasted sat on the bench.The gaffer should have the balls to drop Lescott.Hes had enough games to prove himself and should be replaced.

yes, but if they do it game after game surely the manager has to change it, i doubt you you see hughes drop barry or lescott,or any of his big signings
