[Albion] Premier League 11-14/8/23

[BNthree]

Awful game for Friday TV slot as there was only ever going to be 1 result. Yawnfest.

 

[The Fits]

They started playing De Zerbi ball last season..as did Arteta. RDZs impact has been absolutely enormous on this league. City literally changed their formation.

Said exactly the same before it started. City v bottom half of the table teams so often so dull for the neutral - god only knows why tv keep picking them

Yeh dunno what Sky are playing at. Burnley actually had a terrible start last year when they were in Championship, they were never going to give the financialised cyborgs a game

Maybe popular with the plastics or part time football fan that wants to see Haaland in action?

….Pep taking exception at the cameraman getting too close as he remonstrated with Haaland….

Haaland’s haircut is atrocious. You’d think he could afford to use the services of a stylist.

It’ll be popular with me if they smash five or six past Burnley. Horrible club.

Personally just want to see competitive football. Couldn't give a shit about watching City and their oil money juggernaut of a squad slapping teams costing a tiny fraction of the amount by 5 or 6, no matter how easy the football is on the eye, especially then having to listen to the pundits cream themselves over it. The disparity really is boring

Burnley look decent and had a few good chances, just been undone by that freak of nature up top as most sides will be again this season.

This game was obv picked for tv so Sky could have a 'Kompany against his old club' wankathon, which I assume they did in pre-match coverage.

I share your views but it’s not that entertaining so far. Well Burnley not seeming to understand the concept of “inviting the press” is a bit entertaining.

Exactly this. Watch football to be entertained by the competition not see the club that paid the most win the most.

Oooh my name’s Haaland and I score lots of goals. Grow up mate.

 

[US Seagull]

Seemed Pep was giving Haaland an earful at half time. Apparently not good enough.

BBC are shite. I'm sure we came from two down with BDB scoring!

I was there, City did have ten men though, the 2nd half was beautiful. Was my first game out of the Covid lottery.

 

[Pavilionaire]

City pretty ordinary by their standards but clinical finishing has killed off the home side

Burnley miss Tella. I'm not sure it was wise to have let Wieghorst go either..

 

[Motogull]

Rodney makes it 3.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Rodney makes it 3.

So, we've got to get at least 4 tomorrow to go top (other results permitting).
