Burnley (h) F.A.Cup 4th Round pre-Match thread

I don’t like it.
Don’t think Gundo and Kev play well together as AM’s.
Feels like Pep is trying to make Mahrez ‘happy’ irrespective of the fact he has done nothing to warrant his place infront of Sane/Stirling.
Rather see Bernie as AM.

Should have enough to beat a weakened Burnley team though.

I don't think this is Pep's MO. He said pre-match that he will pick the side that he thinks can win the game.
Obviously that includes giving certain players a rest. The bench is there should it be needed.

5 out of those 7 on the bench would be in our strongest XI. And yet the starting eleven is none too shabby.

Indeed, we have a very strong squad

There is a few, all in here
Bein 11 in English plus around 40 others.

It's about 5 bucks a month and you can stream it to your HDTV. I get it. Pretty good overall. You even get Serie A and Dutch football as well.

Re Mayrez, the way I look at it is that as we get to the business end of the season, it is likely that he will have to play, so getting as much learning hrs under his belt now is no bad thing. Hopefully these additional minutes will further cement our style in him

Aye. Today could be the day it clicks for him.

Then why so vociferous in your attack on him

Hardly vociferous !

Gundogan is shit in the Silva role. Wonder whether mahrez is going left or Bernardo ?

that's an interesting one

Is this on bt ?

Are you his mother? I’m sure you get a notification if anyone says anything less than complimentary about him.

I would rather it ingrain, personally, as he has been rather slow enough in many recent matches without adding cement to the mix, but I agree with your general point. ;-)
