Think if Guardiola loses by that much he should be sacked

[Pep Talk 39]

Be interesting what team pep puts out...Foden in pretty much a given i would think.

[Lucas 2,324]

I'd allow Nigel Clough to play with two keepers for this one.

[True Blue 851]

Don't think it will be another Rotherham, but it should be very comfortable in both legs.

[Bluebird Hewitt 718]

De Bruyne scored after 5 minutes. Harness had a great chance to equalise for Burton but sent it over.

[Cicero 3,864]

2-0 already. 

Good effort Burton 

[Bluebird Hewitt 718]

3-0. 

[Bluebird Hewitt 718]

4-0 after 37 minutes. Zinchenko with the goal.

[Gunnersauraus 678]

I thought Burton might make it difficult like Bristol city did last year. Got that a bit wrong 😂

That could end up in the didn't age well thread 😁

[Bluewolf 4,425]

Did we honestly expect anything other than a City win here??? 

 

[S2_Blade 1]

Man City have no heart 😂

[Stan 10,901]

How did they not get a penalty for the kick on Jesus? 

Anyway, this game going totally as expected. When you play against a side like Man City who are going to be utterly dominant, you have to take any chance you get. That miss by Harness is terrible. Yeah they may not have gone on to win but at least it makes the score look a bit respectable, and even then it might make Man City think they won't always have it easy...

Where's that shotgun in the mouth smiley when you need it

[Gunnersauraus 678]

@Happy Blue Do you think the tie is safe or so you think city need to be careful for the second leg?

Its because the grass is to long

If Burton can score first in the 2nd leg I think it will get nervy for Man City.

I think they should let them take speed just to make it interesting

Was it windy in Manchester?

Glad we just about managed to get through this one

[Gunnersauraus 678]

Sky have put tbc v tbc for the final. might as well put Man city v tbc

[Kyletoonfan 24]

Brilliant performance from the champions. City may have played a side a couple of leagues below them but they were sensational and a joy to watch tonight. Great for Jesus and his confidence that he got 4 goals. They have definitely recovered from their poor spell. City vs Tottenham or Chelsea will be some cup final. On the same day of Manchester United vs Liverpool some day of live football we have to look forward to their.

[The Artful Dodger 1,732]

What a waste of time. Just scrap the second leg, nobody wants it. Not a good look for English football.

[Gunnersauraus 678]

Funnily enough  Man city's worst ever defeat was actually against Burton. They lost 8.0

[Gunnersauraus 678]

Just saw the interview with Nigel cluff. Don't know what he said because I'm in the pub but he looks like the kid who got picked last at P.E. And I was that kid so I know what it feels like
