Not sure only fielding 9 players is the way forward.

Haha foden and doyle was in there as well stupid phone froze.

I always forget just how weak we are at RB as wel beyond walker,

fucking hell.

Nobody in the reserves by the look of it as well

A lot of areas in this squad still need addressing mate, we could've bought six players this window and it might just have been enough.

Cancelo is a decent player and we have arguably 3 of the best RB at their age groups in the club so one of them hopefully will make it.

We should be fielding a strong team in this, the domestic cups look our best bet for a trophy after yesterday's shambles. Unless of course Txiki is planning a blitz on a top class LB and DM in the last week of the window.

So you want us to play a strong team less than 72 hours before we play one of the fittest teams in the league? And if that means playing the likes of De Bruyne, Foden and Sterling then they’ll all have played 5 games in 12 days after the Leeds match.

I just can’t see Burnley being up for this match at all. They’ve only got about 12 fit players and they’ll probably have to rest their best ones to not risk injuring any of them.

It shouldn't be any worse than yesterday's unacceptable shambles. We might still lose though, still too many injuries and Pep is so stubborn he will probably play a load of kids mixed with KDB and Sterling, so knacker out our two best players but still not have enough quality in to win the game.

 

[WestGorton]

KDB and Raz should be nowhere near this match. If they get injuries we really are in bother.

 

[alexmcity]

Pep will play mostly youngsters imo. And he will be right even if it makes it likely that we lose. We've won enough cups under Pep, concentrate on the PL and the CL. One early defeat does not decide the league. Liverpool are suspiciously fit and almost never have injury crises but who knows, they might be approaching the end of their cycle after having used the same key players again and again over the last 3 years.

You can get 11/1 for a Burnley win, thank me later

Do a double with Leeds at 8/1
