Carrick was awful, $hite penalty and idiot ideas like attempting back heel passes in the 94th minute when we're chasing a goal.

Hopefully Park has sold enough shirts to get a replacement in and pay for his flight home, because tonight he was a liability, why Fergie kept him on I don't know.

Tonight made it clear that we need an Aguero or Silva in and sharpish. With a bit of luck it'll be the kick up the ar$e we need to start our season.

Ronaldo?

We are definately short of a player, I said all summer we need to bring in three (midfielder, striker and a winger) and we still need one more, preferably an attacking midfielder. Van der Vaart, Schnieder, Silva etc etc. Owen again flattered to decieve but I honestly just think he needs one goal and he will kick on, it's just how long that goal takes to come.

Either way you don't win titles by losing at Burnley, look at Chelsea the other night, a goal down but come back to win. Fergie talks about the team coming to like around October time, but we could be out of it by then.

They brought on Messi, Ibrahimovic & Alves in the second half, although City countered by bringing on Ben Haim, Etuhu, Trippier & Garrido.

The final corner count of 15-2 probably summed up the balance of play. The travelling and lack of sleep is an obvious negative but City's defenders will have gained far more from this game than a week of training at Carrington, for a similar level of injury risk.

People say I moan but my dad also watched it on the net and whilst I had a big, cheesy grin, he huffed and puffed, moaned about how rubbish we were and how it was the most one-sided embarrassment he had ever seen.

We had many key players missing too, we brought on a series of youngsters, the temperature had reached 43 degrees in the day, we were playing in front of 95,000 against the biggest and best team in the world in their own backyard and we beat them 1-0.

I tell you what, I was an inch away from giving him a damned good slapping!

The reason Cristiano Ronaldo was sold and no big money spent on a replacement.

I wouldn't worry, you'll still walk it this season.

It's a big ask for a 17 year old.

It was the same for Ronaldo.
