    Great team performance that, one to be proud of. Didn't even feel like we had to do anything massively heroic in defence just good solid defending. Gooch MotM for me.

    Big credit to Mowbray too he nailed it.

    good game in the end, was expecting far worse but a draw there and stopping them scoring is excellent.

    every man in it, no one slacking and i am going gooch for my MotM, very good performance from him.

    If Burnley are the level we're aiming for we don't have far to go ...

    ... listening to the commentators you'd think they were Man City.

    You're obviously a far better judge than me mate, if you don't mind indulging, what did you see from Lihadji that stood out? I'm some way into a whisky but didn't really notice Lihadji much.

    By what a team we had out tonight - well oiled machine for 96 mins. Tony got the tactics spot on and with a smidgen of luck we would have took all 3 points.
    But O’9 - jees what a player. :1980_boogie_down:

    Get the impression Lihadji is very well thought of think he just needs a run of games wouldn’t be surprised to see him start soon

    I wouldn’t be surprised if one or more of the promoted teams stick a bid in for Luke.

    This has all been said before but he performs well in every position he is asked to play, always gives 100%, shows no fear and does it with a smile and the right attitude. We’re lucky to have him.

    The positional play, he seemed to be in the right positions as soon as we lost the ball - great sign for a young attacker. He encouraged us to press a couple of times, again I think this is a sign that he is growing in the team. In possession he didnt have to do too much but when he did have it he kept it simple rather than over doing it. One thing I havent noticed before until today was he is decent in the air, has a good leap on him - I would start him upfront soon to give him the minutes

    Honest words from Kompany. Easy to be magnanimous when you're home and dry like :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Burnley playing Boro and Sheff Utd over the Easter weekend is a cracking weekend for the neutral. Or at least would be if Burnley weren’t 564 points clear

    Sky are going to really struggle to know who to **** over when it’s Carrick’s Boro vs Kompany’s Burnley.

    Burnley work really hard and have a talented midfield ...

    ... but very little in attack and a nervous defence.

    Relegated unless they give Kompany a big sack of money.

    He’s like a breath of fresh air. Think he will go on to be a top top manager

    Michut stood out in that second half as well , we have some real talent in this group, Lihadji is a shoe in for Amad if we dont get him back, he is that good.
