Dave's take on yesterday...

http://www.clarets-mad.co.uk/city-sl...-beat/9256801/

A very fair summary. Having been beaten 3-0 and 4-1 in our previous encounters with City this season we went in with a different game plan and it worked particularly in the later stages.

Garth Crooks picks Ben Mee for his team of the week with the following

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was gracious enough to state in his post-match press conference that Burnley are the most British of the Premier League teams.

Roughly translated into the words of Lance Corporal Jones from Dad's Army, City "don't like it up 'em!"

There were many Burnley players on Saturday who "put in a shift", to use manager Sean Dyche's expression. The stand-out player wearing claret and blue, for me, was Ben Mee.

The defender was as effective in his own penalty area as he was threatening, especially from set-pieces, in City's box.

Burnley might not be the most attractive side in the world but, like Dad's Army, they have the ability to produce they own brand of cold hard steel.

Thought Kompany was on a demolition Derby taking out Barnes, Vokes and Pope.

Thought Kompany was on a demolition Derby taking out Barnes, Vokes and Pope.

Did he get booked? ---No! However,we ended up with 4 cautions, having committed 9 fouls against their 1 from 6 fouls. No problem with Cork for his pull on De Bruyne or Long for his lunge and Mee for his block on Silva on the halfway line, however, I can't really remember Barnes doing anything untoward, particularly after some of the treatment he gets! City players don't seem to get cautioned for similar offences ----strange!
