Burnley (a) pre-match thread

[deedee]

Folks...

If your register on the BFC ticket page, there are still £40 tickets available in the Bob Lord stand.

Any updates on John Stones?

Didn't hear him mentioned in the press conference from the bits I saw, so assuming he is available.

I may consider switching to the dark-side but only minutes from death if at all... best to lose one of them than one of us...

You'll go to hell though, big sacrifice. It's full of rags.

Any updates on John Stones?

It was illness not injury so presumably he's available.

I had a couple of guys at my home today to fit a new boiler flue.. we spoke about football and the main guy was a rag.... his oppo was a "City fan" but openly confessed to being a rag till last year.... WTF

I would have ended the conversation with them both and said, just shout me when you're done.

I think tomorrow will be far tougher than their recent form suggests.

I think they feel "wronged" by us over the foul on Bernardo in the league match and the quick free kick in the FA Cup. Both decisions were correct but I think Dyche will use them to gee up his troops.

On the flip side Aguero has scored 6 in the last four matches between the sides (4 in the league and 2 in the Cup).

True, English isn't my strongest point.

I remember some terrible times mainly Alan Ball (shiver). This period requires the full strength team for Basel away, Arsenal cup, Basel home. We can rotate against Wigan slightly but not too much and I'd prefer to go full steam against the weak teams to get the points needed to win the league.

Mate, we was getting on good terms then go n mention the B word !! Haaa. Yes, still having therapy because of that sqeaky little fucker(God rest his soul).

Burnley are a bit thin on the ground.......


Burnley were rocked by news on Wednesday that midfielder Steven Defour would miss several months with a knee injury.

The Clarets are also without fellow long-term absentees Robbie Brady and Tom Heaton, while Dean Marney was recently ruled out for the season.

Chris Wood and Jonathan Walters are both out with knee injuries.

Centre-back James Tarkowski is also out. Stephen Ward could return from a knock, though he missed the Newcastle match in mid-week.”[/I]

Burnley are one of the most photogenic physical teams in the league. Walker and Otamendi must start. Wouldn't be throwing Laporte into this one or Zinchenko as I think Dyche would target him aerially.

They like to hit the big man up front

Made for Vinny and Otta and I’d put Danilo in at left back too for a bit more height and physical presence

I'd go Laporte over Kompany. He's 6'3", sharper and less likely to go off injured.

Yeah take your point. Just think Vinny will know exactly what’s going to hit us and will be ready for it. Can always have Laporte on the bench in case Vinny can’t do the full 90

A few perhaps

 

[Easy]

This.

Laporte & Otamendi tomorrow. In terms of possession and starting attacks Laporte for me is the best of all our CBs.

Sean Dyche says Pep Guardiola is no longer a champion of youth as he opts to spend on players instead ahead of the game tomorrow.

 

[Len Rum]

I'd go Laporte over Kompany. He's 6'3", sharper and less likely to go off injured.

Think Big Vin's taller mate, 1.93m vs 1.91m.

He also sez we are a 'fine side'! WTF does 'fine' mean in East Lancs these days?
