Blues Banish Burnley With Ease

[Footymad]

Manchester City have become an almost unstoppable domestic force, Burnley got swallowed in a tide of blue. - External Link

Fair enough report. That second 'gifted' goal was certainly a killer because, although City were undoubtedly in control, a one goal lead is never secure, however, that second really upset our equilibrium and led to our conceding the third. C'est la vie!

with an understated, but knowing insouciance.

.....that made me reach for the dictionary !

Five-nil defeats are never anything but a weekend-ruining exercise in humiliation, but in mitigation it must be noted that there are few teams in the Premier League who would have avoided a similar fate when faced with Manchester City in that sort of form

I think - as we move through the season...it won't be more than a few that suffer that kind of drubbing...but if they do, they might well manage a goal or two themselves...but luckily for us, could have been worse - as that wasn't an on fire Man City....from what I saw of the game - they were down a gear, perhaps more...and even then, we made it much too easy for them - So for me, it's about the speed and that defensive mentality we have, it's so stationary and sluggish, the reactions are well behind - so makes for really heavy football...And to not even get a shot/header or anything of note on goal thoughout the whole game - well that's special....like La-La Land special.

Cheers Dave.

I watched it again last night, it did not get any better!

So we didn't get a shot on target against City.
Well, you know this fantastic Fulham team which cost millions, they didn't manage a shot on target against Everton a few weeks ago and only managed 1 more shot in the whole game than we did against City. Not to wory though because they had 49% possession so they must have passed it around the back four quite a lot.

thanks Sub - but I didn't see the Everton match....though I think Fulham did hit the woodwork - but hey....what do we care.
