Burton (a) pre-match thread

[Delphinho]

Taylor Richards, Luke Bolton and Ian Carlo Poveda were also involved in first-team training today ahead of the Burton game. [Daily Mail]

Also spotted in training ahead of the Burton game: Mangala, Sandler, Garcia

Add Pozo, Nmecha, Scott and Mendy to that list

I’d go fairly strong for this to be honest. All about rhythm this time of season. Maybe 1-2 surprises and give subs 30 mins

 

[K10&S21]

hopefully we see a lot of the academy

 

[bluemoon32]

The Mangler was training with first team today so reckon we could see him at some point in the game

Fcuk me, we've only got a 9 goal cushion

Put him on the right with Walker :-0

Pep won’t disrespect the tie - he never does. I recon zinch, stones, both silvas, Foden, delph, Mahrez and Jesus will all play as they didn’t on Sunday.
It’ll prob be something like
Muric
Danilo stones Garcia zinch
Delph
Foden merlin
Bernardo Jesus Mahrez

Then some kids on the bench - although most of them would have played the night before so don’t expect many of them with the first team

I hope young Luke Bolton plays.. can't wait to see him make a first team appearance. I knew him when he was at school. Come on young blues do Manchester proud.

If he plays the twins he needs sacking

Couldn’t see either of them on training picks but I’d defo play merlin as he needs to get some rythem back to his play and didn’t play much on Sunday. Bernardo needs to start this game or Saturday. Or he’ll loose his rythem as well. It’s all about the rythem ;)

You are going to break out into a dance in a minute lol

 

[oldius]

According to the Mail, Poveda, Richards, Bolton and Garcia will all be playing. Whether it's true or not is another matter!

Apologies, just saw a similar, earlier post.

Muric
Bolton García Mangala Zinchenko
Delph
Gündogan Foden
Mahrez Jesus Garré

Scott, Danilo, Sandler, Pozo, de Bruyne, Nmecha, Richards

Not with the knee replacement I’ve just had I won’t lol

 

[blue ranger]

Hope Bolton is decent. Liked what we saw of him pre-season, just hope he shows enough for him to perhaps be an option for the future.

 

[zandvoort blue]

I`d like to see Zinchenko given a chance in his true position.

Danilo needs to be nowhere near, Walker needs to get his shite form out of his system so I expect him to be involved.

I’d start Dave but keep Bernardo until Saturday. Think it’ll be a fairly strong side still as he’ll want to keep the players who don’t start every week involved.

Muric
Walker
Garcia
Stones
Zinchenko
Delph
Foden
Merlin
Mahrez
Jesus
??

One of the kids upfront maybe.

Ouch,be good in the long run though

If you fancy Burton to level the tie, Paddy Power are offering 200/1 on a 9-0 home win. Lump on it blues. "Typical City", "cups for cock ups" and all that. Has to be worth a tenner, shirley?

Ffs they should at least make it interesting should be more like 2000/1 although I’m gonna do 9-1 to burton ;-)
