Burnley (H) - Wed 31st Jan, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Lewis.
OK then.

 

[mosssideblue]

Pep fuming with Ruben at after fulltime vs Tottenham... Now on the bench... rested?

Don’t think he was fuming at all

 

[Phil1]

Lewis.
OK then.

I’m sure his contribution tonight will be far more worthwhile than your post.

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on lads, keep the foot on the pedal

 

[Ducado]

Got soaked walking to the ground from my car park of course your not allowed umbrellas FFS City better put on a performance

 

[mosssideblue]

I’m not a big moaner about team selection but I find this one slightly bizzare

Why?

Anyone got a parking ticket yet?

 

[TrentGrisham]

When should Kev start then?

IDK what the answer is, but the worst-case scenario is Phil starts evaluating things for himself if KDB signs an extension. While he still has plenty of years in front of him, he also turns 24 in a few months.

And for those of you using the Match day thread
Tonight’s City Line up

One Shot One goal
Too lightweight
Made of Glass
Running through Treacle
Not a left back

Off it tonight
Not our level
Radars out

F&cking shoot
Lost possession again
Works hard but no striker

 

[Scaley]

Quieter than usual at the ground. Got a beer with no queueing. I'm piss wet though. Traffic terrible, blue lights blocked the road and my usual route so turned round and through Woodhouses. Hope it's worth it, a good result. I'm sure it will with the team we have out (cracking bench if changes required).

Probably coz we’re stuck on the trams mate, they are barely crawling.

It’s quite the experience! Haha!

Foden out wide? Looks that way. Will drift in with Rico pushing in to Walkers spot probably

Why on earth would Phil consider his options if Kev extends? He will still get plenty of game time and hopefully more medals

To be honest, if we have all the ball like I expect and he's up wide where Walker often is, I expect a much better return from Lewis than I do Walker.

5 or 6 changes from the last match.
I doubt there is anything in it.
Kovacic, Bernardo, Walker on bench too

 

[Eccles Blue]

Really quiet around the ground. Still pissing down.

Could be because certain areas are gridlocked traffic wise!! I left my house at just after 5.10 and at 6.35 I was just 3/4mile from home. I have had to reluctantly abandon it and come home. As I turned down a side street to come back the police were closing the road. I thought I would then try to go a different route but that was also jammed so am now at home devastated not to see VK and JS!!

I don't know how the Eccles OSC coach has gone on. Luckily they were starting from the other side of the trouble I was in but I've just read that round Salford Royal Hospital and also through Swinton there are problems.
Ah well such is life. :-( :-)

Give over ffs. What a strange conclusion to reach.
Phil is going nowhere.

 

[johnny crossan]

I'm expecting 4 subs at least - maybe a couple at half time eg Dias for Stones. Haaland, Grealish, Bernie will all get on too I reckon.

Unfortunately you can only set the poll deadline by the hour, day or month from when you are creating the thread. I always try to choose the hour closest to kick off. Bit of an oversight on this one, should have picked 19:06 instead of 20:06.

Thank you. Shows how much I know about technology. I needed a beam me up Scotty to get to the game tonight... Can you get someone to invent that please? :-)
