I would agree with playing Hayden and letting Meyler sit one out. Clucas as Motm is a strange one; even in a top three is hard to see, but ...

If I didn't know better I would have said we had already played 45mins when we kicked off - just proof that it is there to be had.

Best team effort I've seen for a while and they went at Burnley from the off, none of this passing it back to the centre backs from the kick off. Also, they kept their heads up even when we didn't score in the first half and Burnley came back into it a bit.
 
Burnley prepared very well for yesterdays game. Training session on Christmas Day afternoon and they travelled to Hull for an overnight stay.
Don't underestimate City's performance yesterday, it was a terrific win against a team that were very much up for it, and we blew them away in the second half.

Apart from the Diame shot I don't think the first half was that good. Burnley probably had the best chance, we only really picked up the pace in the second half. Most of the time we try and get through the first half unscathed and then try more the second.

Shame others had to miss out. (Davies along with Maguire did a great job on Vokes and Gray).
A great team performance.


Hardly even noticed Andre Gray - other than that wild swing and miss. <laugh>
