Burnley (A) Carabao Cup R4 | Pre-Match Thread

Delap’s omission is the biggest surprise. He deserved another start.

Might be managing him, decent chance he starts or at least features on Sunday.

No Doyle, Foden or Harwood Bellis. I was hoping to see those 3 together. They are as good imo as the senior players.

Also no Zinchenko. Not even on the bench. Th might be significant re the transfer window assuming he's available.

Still in the doghouse after that business with his Mrs and the media?

Carabao cup stream is excellent

Why do you think he's playing there? Pep said Palmer could play up front a week ago.

Unless Pep’s decided to deploy a rouge formation, Palmer playing centrally is the obvious option when we have 3 wingers on the field

I'm hoping he'll be starting against Leeds.

I suspect that's the plan but, with Pep who knows.

If it’s constructive then nobody will give you grief.
Very rarely can people criticise in a respectable manner and that’s why they tend to get a bit of blowback.

Well said, and I always ensure it's respectable, on the rare occasion that there is any cause for complaint! CTID

100% this. I learnt the hard way that Pep and Txiki are above any kind of criticism or accountability in the eyes of many on here. As you say it's a forum, and a game of opinions, but some topics are seemingly off limits.

Maybe, as kick off time approaches, you can forget your grievances and get behind the team.
COME ON CITY...
