Burnley (A) - Fri 11th Aug | Pre-Match Thread

[Blue Potato]

Exciting to see 3 of KDB, Foden and Alvarez starting, could be a cracking game. Hoping Kovacic gets some minutes because he’s looked like a perfect fit for us so far

 

[Gumzy97]

Stunned that Zaroury is not starting for them .

 

[banbury_blue]

I assume it's Rico at LB.

Walker cb, Lewis Rb?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Trafford masterclass incoming

That's not been said for a long time

 

[TinFoilHat]

I'm sticking with my original prediction.

Trafford Worldy and Burnley spawn a 1-0

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Cancelo must have been extradited

 

[Brewie]

3-2-3-2 in possession and 4-4-2 in defense i reckon?

 

[willipp]

Well that lineup has thrown me completely.

 

[argyle]

Fuck me.

RIP

You kill after mating?

 

[paulchapo]

Phillips on the bench

Who's the match day thread gonna call shit instead?

He was rarely called shit as he rarely played.

 

[brummie blue]

you have to wonder what Laporte needs to do to get a start, Stones and Dias saved for midweek (another cup)

Surprised Alvarez got the nod.

Hopefully Stones & Dias nothing serious.

 

[super_city_si]

I assume it's Rico at LB.

Yes id say so. He will be the one who tucks in with rodri. I dontt think its worked very well previously with him on the left.

 

[DMA's]

Reckon it will be

ederson

walker akanji ake Lewis

Rodri bernardo

foden kdb alvarez

haaland

 

[chesterbells]

No Ruben, no party I’m afraid.
1-0 Burnley.

That’s at 23/1 - get your money where your mouth is!

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Fuck knows how that lines up. Lots of attacking impetus which is good

not very convincing back 4

Not sure it’s a four

Lewis will go into midfield next to Rodri

Drops back like Stones would have been

Surprised Kova not starting though

 

[yeseye]

No Ruben, no party I’m afraid.
1-0 Burnley.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Walker cb, Lewis Rb?

Walker RB, Ake and Akanji CB's, and Rico LB.

 

[Haaland94]

I would have started the Croats, Kovacic has been great, and do we really want to start Josko in a Cup final as his first start?

 

[MCFC1993]

5-4 City.

 

[youngbob]

Hm. Not optimistic really. But then I rarely am.
