Burnley (h) pre-match thread

[chaddblue]

Sergio the scapegoat

I backed him to bag a hat trick today... not now

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Now that is talking shite haha ;)

He will want to show that he's the better Jesus ;)

2 games in 2 days for Yaya, gonna be like playing a 45 record on 33.

Psml...

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Four goals for Kelechi, and a bizarre own goal to take the shine off a good performance.

I've seen it written in me chicken and mushroom pot noodle.

Saying it again guys. Only one recent signing playing and he is pants.

Why have you said it twice?

It could be, but I'd have thought the last player to need rotating right now is Aguero. He's been banned, not injured. I just genuinely think he's not happy with him. And next summer will back that up.

well again then Pep is wrong....

Aguero has shown a huge increase in work rate and defending from the front since pep rocked up.....exactly what the manager wants even though it could possibly be to the detriment of his game as it takes him further away from goal quite often......which lets be honest is where he is better than 99% of other players.

Sell him and buy who...griezman...9 games without a goal at present.....all players go through dips in form......which this shows....Kun is having one of those as ALL players do.

No manager has ever come off better when their own pride starts to influence team selection

 

[Bazzmand Show]

I have no issues with Aguero on the bench. He has a history of soft tissue injuries, has been out for 4 weeks and played his first 90 minutes back only 2 days ago. Playing again so soon after would be a classic situation to pull a hamstring or do a calf.

I actually like this line up after the shock of ageing it. Thank you pep for having some bollocks and doing what's best for the team rather than the individuals. It's a definite pull your finger out or else your off. And Navas is one of the mist improved players this season. Only draw back is Stirling on the left. Would rather have Navas there cutting in and creating space

What time did you get to the pub

Give it a fucking rest

 

[NewHavenCTBlue]

Would have been perfect opportunity for Garcia...

 

[simon23]

Calm your jets,it's rotation,pep says he does it because we have so many games

has he actually said that today karen??

 

[Shirley]

Why?

Why drop our only goalscorer, especially at the Etihad.
I don't agree leaving him on the bench against Burnley.

It's only you thinking it is

I did not know that Yaya was 45.........but I suppose the Ivory Coast don't have birth certs.

 

[mancityscot]

absolutely dismayed at seeing kolarov's name on the team sheet yet again.

Our only goal scorer?

There's me thinking Nacho has the best goals per minute ratio of any player in the Premier League's history.

We are playing again on Friday and played 44 hours ago.

 

[Pleatfooted]

He will want to show that he's the better Jesus ;)

Haha, I was hoping for a stress free day today as bk to work 2moz, the number of times my pint pot has nearly left my hands at TV screen cause of navas is unbelievable, he must have the world record for hitting the first defender

 

[Adlab123]

Why have you said it twice?

Because it is an indictment of our transfer policy year after year.

 

[SWP's back]

Two are injured. One starts and two are on the bench having just returned from injury and played 44 hours ago.

What time did you get to the pub

Fully fucking concur mate
