Mistakes and Judgement

[Norder]

.

Come on gentleman you can’t seriously believe we were going to have a proper go at team like city we’re you.
I wander what reaction we’d have got if they stuck 7-8 past us in our gung ho style.
.

what does that even mean - Army...."a proper go" - dont we (gentlemen) expect Burnley to give it a "proper go" in every game we play...so what are you saying - it's Man City - just turn up and right it off ?.....not for me, thats not how any team should operate - especially one sat mid table in the Premier League, a position, were often reminded - that reflects the Burnley fortitude, and genius of our manager.....but not last night, and going by somes satisfied acceptance of that display -they can't mind us being reassessed as - The Cowering Sychophants.

No Norder never played a game like that in my life but you have to accept if we go normal two up top and leave the midfield which was depleted anyway we could have a got a right hiding.
We so missed Westwood but in truth sometimes our manager gets out thought , they had and kept width with world class players we were overrun and in reality not good enough, I know we compete every week in the same league as them but we’re no where near them.

I’m a realist I’m afraid I didn’t expect us to get anything and if any of you did your deluded our absolute best hope was they had a shocker and missed 20 of there 21 chances for example and we sneaked a mistake like we did.

I think we are laboured in our play and style and we just got caught out by a class act who can punish you in a second.

....we could have a got a right hiding.

I believe we did....but just imagine, City had been off the boil for some time, their support knew it - I knew it, and many others knew it also - So then , without our "assistance"....what then might the score have been ?

how can you be a realist - army ?.....your deification of the "all powerful City" is irrational (see above comment).....and it's me who's deluded ?

we didn't give a damn - and as for that regular laboured - just tipped over into sickening abandon....in my opinion....and Class Act, again, not before our game..... .

Problem is Norder that I sit and talk to people every week who are now of the opinion we deserve - should be beating - competing with teams such as City( my own father included sometimes). , I’m going to stick with staying a realist and say we’re not.at this moment in time.
I’ve said I think we could have done slightly better with a full compliment of players but I’m still honest enough to know they are a different league to us.

I appreciate what you saying - Army.....but I can only repeat what we know, if we try to be open and match the majority of PL teams speed/skill/creativity etc.....then we're screwed, being why many of us think it time we moved up a gear - But as of now - it's defend and boot it upfield, with a freekick/cross/corner set piece blah blah to bring in the points, same repetitive routine....with added tricks, like crowding the keeper etc -of course, Burnley are hardly likely to boss many a PL team off the park - But, with quality in goal and a top end defence making it difficult for them - even if We're played off the park - we stay switched on, no mistakes - then your Dads right, the potentials there for a draw, lose but lightly...or perhaps, to even beat the best of them....we've all seen it happen.....so why ever throw in the towel - and tuesday night, we play a bunch of young blokes attached to a big name, who've not been performing, who've shown obvious weakness - and all we need do - is what we always do - but. what did we do...... .
