Burnley (A) - Pre-Match Thread

[cleavers]

you think Pep is going to play Dihno over a fit Laporte? In maybe some sort of dead rubber match but why else would he?

He won't play "over" a fit Laporte, he'll play alongside him.

Nico is much better than john in the air and doesn't fanny out of a tackle

No, he fannies into them.

Just spends half the game on his arse

Like going to the dentist

Wasnt Pep that said it though, it was one of the coaches

Don’t be confused - he is.

Otamendi gets beaten in the air all the time.

No he isn't
So, he has never won and aerial battle? stop talking bollocks

Amazon Prime? Should be a banner on the first page with something like "Live Sport tonight" on it.

Cheers, not showing in Ireland which explains why not seeing it

Says everything on what Pep thinks about Stones currently. Should be interesting watching Otamendi anyway. Let’s hope it’s one of his better days!

"Interesting"? That's one word for it!

Wtf haha do you even watch them play. Nico's aerial ability is basically his only redeeming quality. He's not the tallest but he leaps like a salmon. Stones gets outmuscled.

Stones wins 66% of his aerial duels; Otamendi wins 61%

yep same old line up and rodri holding

city setup is ok and if we score first its pretty much set the tone for going forward and opens up, but if we go 1 down first its a problem to our front line because its 10 men behind the ball and its in 5 and 5 lines for the rest of the game

Just the same as Newcastle. I full expect the home team team to play a 10 man defence.
