Couldn’t care less about what’s going on with them or too 4. Only looking at 5th 6th and 7th
Need city to win the league cup and one of the top teams to win the FA
 
Basically just said in the interview that they played well, create loads of chances and didn’t take them, and the opposition scores with their 1 or 2 chances. This has happened so many times with them this season, United, Liverpool, Wolves (x2), Norwich and today In their defeats, plus the draws to Palace and Newcastle.

In many ways, he’s right. They are a great team, exceptional. And they don’t do a lot wrong. They’ll still finish this season with a points total than would win the league in the vast majority of previous seasons.

Not this season they ain't, far from it, they have some great players but they are quite [Poor language removed] defensively, look at that back 4 today, it's [Poor language removed], nowhere near good enough.

He plays tappy tappy stuff that sometimes just don't work.
The misses by Sterling and Silva midweek.. in a defeat at home in a cup semi to your main rivals summed it up.

They will win a pot, no doubt. Hopefully the CL and FA cup.. but he's done after this season I firmly believe.

Must echo everyone else here and say imagine following Burnley. It might be great to win at Old Trafford but the quality of the football, sorry hoofball is terrible. Imagine being an old codger brought up on Harry Potts (ex Everton of course) and the glory of Connelly and Mcllroy etc.

What a negation of the great legacy of that era

Main reason I’ve always been reluctant to praise Dyche. No question he has done a remarkable job keeping them up all these years. Talent wise they are in the bottom three every year, so he has them punching above their weight. ‘Greater than the sum of its parts’ has never been more apt in describing a Dyche team.

The problem for him is football is more than just getting results, or it should be. The spectacle offered up by his team is an abomination. Not only is it terrible to watch, it’s a style that doesn’t develop players. You buy a Burnley player at your peril (see Keane here) as they play in a compact, ultra defensive system that sets out to negate the opposition, and essentially drag the opposing team down to their level. Once a player leaves this system for a side that tries to play football, much more is required of them, and often they can’t deliver. Ultimately Dyche’s system masks player weaknesses.

Having said all that I think Dyche comes across as a decent bloke, one you would give everything for.

If we don’t do it, the question would be asked of the club and Ancelotti at pressers - “Why?”

I don’t think there is an answer to that question that doesn’t make it look like sour grapes. And that’s not a good look for us. It’s also not an image we should be contributing to.

It’s the behaviour of a >bitter< rival. It’s something I’d expect of Moyes’ Everton. This is a new era for the club and that sort of perception is what we’re striving to avoid. The classy thing to do (even if we believe they wouldn’t reciprocate if the shoe was on the other foot) is to bite our tongue and do it.

In any case, hopefully City turn it round and it’s not something we even have to contemplate.

But why would Carlo care about that? The Evertonians dont, its not the behavior of a bitter rival, its the behavior of a rival that only worys about its own club

Why?

I'd just go through the list of all the shame that club has brought on the City and the game in general in that case.

Guard of honour my arse. They should have been closed down in 85.
