And playing out of form Henderson and Firmino is a clear indication of that. If you all are happy with this 1-0 performance against Burnley, good for you.
I don't think anyone said they were happy with the performance. They're happy with the win. City still have to go there. Yes of course they should win, but nobody hammers Burnley on their own patch. The ground is stone age, the conditions are appalling, the ball is up in the clouds more than it is on the pitch, it's all heads arms and elbows, and it's an awful spectacle. But we won there for the 5th year in a row. So Jürgen usually gets his team selection there spot on.
Can you imagine what it would be like if I joined the match thread.
We don't have to. This was just your 5th post on this match thread, after the game.
I joined here in the past week or so, because I was sick and tired at the negativity and utter bullshit that a few posters on my old forum brought to every thread they encounter, particularly in match threads, when we weren't displaying Brazil 1970-esque from for 90+ minutes, every week.
This was my first match thread on this forum. Thanks for making me feel so at home already!
What you've seen in this thread, is just a gentle warm up for when the knives are flying around the forum, in the aftermath of the next time we don't win. The negativity will make you want to tear what's left of your hair out.
As it is, we passed the wild wet and windy weekend winter test at Burnley again this year. That is all we had to do. Save the showpiece performances for games against better teams in bigger stadiums towards the business end of the season.
