You’ve got to do two big things when you’re playing against City or they’ll systematically dismantle you. You’ve got to stop press them aggressively when they’re building up and you’ve got to deny Haaland having many sniffs of the ball. You see Ederson just standing on the ball for like 15 seconds at a time often. You’ve got to speed him up and disrupt their play from the back. And as we saw against Arse in the Community Shield, when Haaland isn’t touching the ball he’s not much of a threat. He was totally invisible that game. He may be the best pure finisher since CR7 but he doesn’t do much else in general play.

Rodri is the best DMF on the planet

does it all

[Vesper 29,318]

Gvardiol on

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Thank god Burnley are back in the PL. what an enrichment for the league. Such scintillating football -.-

[Vesper 29,318]

lol, Cteh has spent £150m more just on the defenders currently under contract than Burnley has spent on ALL transfers, all players in their entire 141 year history

[robsblubot 3,595]

There was a moment where Burnley defense line, under mild pressure, attempted to exchange 3 passes to get the ball forward. The 3rd one went over the sideline. One of the many embarrassing moments. Left that "game" shortly past halftime: have better things to do, like watching grass grow.

they miss Maatsen, he was so instrumental in their build up on the left

[Vesper 29,318]

hard to defeat a team that has

2nd best GK in the planet (Ederson, after Cuntois)

best right-footed (and overall) CB on the planet  Rúben Dias 

likely the best left footed CB on the planet (or soon will be) Josko Gvardiol 

best DMF on the planet (Rodri)

best AMF on the planet (when he is healthy) De Bruyne

best CF on the planet (and 2nd best player after Mbappe) Håland

and also, when they play together, the best best defensive (not offensive) PAIR of fullbacks on the planet in Aké and Akanji

Burnley, Nottingham, Luton, Brentford, Brighton, Fulham, Sheffield, Bournemouth, Wolves. This is 9 teams that all played Championship in the last 6 years. Not sure this happened before. If you add Palace who lost best players and Everton which is shambles for years this is 11 teams against which you could win 66 points in a season potentially. Sometimes this is enough for CL. Really no excuse for Pochettino to lose lots of points against these lot if any. WH is closer to this bracket as well. Losing Rice and possibly Paqueta plus European football... I see Brighton and Fulham losing the edge from previous season and Brentford without Toney. Big 6 plus Newcastle and Aston Villa are top8. And we don't have a European football so really CL place should not be questioned at all.

and yet they will get beaten this season. They won't win again, at least not the CL.

KDB not being healthy is already hurting them a lot. They missed him against Inter, but got lucky the other side relied on someone like Lukaku to win matches. Inter had the intensity, but not the quality to hurt them.

if KdB is out a lot, that really hurts them

he is their key player for now, and has been for ages

but I still see them walking the league

CL is another matter

Håland is very much a Norwegian personality

they are the least humble of all the Scandinavians, very very confident, bordering on cocky

Season 18/19 they won the league with 98 points. KDB contribution was close to zero, played just 974 mins.

yes, they also won without a true striker. I was referring to CL tho.

Its insane how good Harland's finishing is.

Colonel Harland David Sanders (September 9, 1890 – December 16, 1980) was an American businessman, best known for founding fast food chicken restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (also known as KFC) and later acting as the company's brand ambassador and symbol. His name and image are still symbols of the company.
