Burnley (h) pre-match thread

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

If we win 3-0, Joe hasn't had a blinder

Why not, he could stop it being 7 or 8

rotation time , Ederson - Danilo , Vinny , Otto , Mendy - Mahrez , Bernardo , KDB , Foden , Sane - Jesus , we need to utilise the squad and give players like Damilo , Mahrez ,Mendy , Jesus more game time Foden deserves a home league debut and KDB needs a full game in readiness for Spuds , if Burnley prove difficult we will have Merlin , Sterling , Kun on the bench to up the ante , 2-0 win and Joe to have a blinder for Burnley

I remember 4 seasons ago we were 2-0 up v Burnley at HT. Second half they scored 2 and it was a draw. They got relegated that season and they are a much better team nowadays, especially in defence. Rotation is not a bad thing but Burnley are no mugs mate, therfore I'd play our best 11, and rotate 3 players when the game is in our bag. I wouldn't risk starting De Bruyne.

Game after international break will always be tricky. Never underestimate.

Burnley have 5 players away on International duty and it could have been 10 if not for injuries and New Zealand not having a match. Teams are more equal nowadays in terms of losing personnel over International breaks.

I'm going for a 3-0 hard fought game.

I'm sure he'll get a big welcome,he hasn't bad mouthed the club or anything,englands no 1 is a bit out of date though lol,the game i watched the opposition fans were singing englands no 5 and he was laughing away,he seems much happier

Can see your point of view BMR , but if we can't rest some players against a struggling Burnley team at home then we never will in the Premier league , its OK to rest players for the League Cup and FA Cup becasue winning either is a bonus , but the likes of Merlin , Dinho and Kun are in their 30's and cannot play 50-60 games. We have some good quality creative and younger players in the squad and the likes of Mahrez.Bernardo,Foden and Gundogan when fit need to play the home bankers (famous last words) , paying multi- million pound fees for players to get splinters in their arse will not help the cause.

Aaaah, OK I get it now. Still, it's weird anybody voting for us to lose to Burnley. At home. Even in jest. Its not even mildly funny.

But, there will come a day when there are zero votes for City to.lose and guess what will happen...

We wouldn't lose?

Given just 2 losses in the last 53 PL games I think the chances are high in our favour.

'Typical City' will bite us on our arse yet again. Can't see it being against Burnley though, but we cannot underestimate them, that is for sure.

I know of some punters who back City to lose. Week after week - then bingo - big pay out. Keeps them happy even if their 'bank'
doesn't grow............lol

I think many of us could have made a good profit at the bookies in the past on City games. I've never backed against us and never will. I can't.
