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

[Golden Silva]

Did you mean Alvarez and Haaland ?

I did. Oops!!

 

[Manc123]

For me my team would be

ederson

Walker Stones Dias Gvardiol
Rodri Kovacic
Bernardo Foden Grealish
Haaland


I think its a little too early for kev to play full 90... I think the only other question is akanji with walker.... But given where trying to convince walker to stay i think hell play.... I think gvardiol gets thrown in the deepend kind of like we did with Akanji and Dias

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Dias
Rodri, Kovacic
Bernardo, Foden, Grealish
Alvarez
Haaland

Can’t see Gvardiol starting.

We need to start creating more chances and not holding onto possession. Once this part of our game improves we will start to steam roll teams. The defence will hold out most counter attacks.

Our game is not clinical. This is not a rash opinion. We tailed off last season and if it were not for Gundo producing well we may never know. Haaland is not getting the service.

We won the treble so who care right?

Think you find we tailed off, once the league was won.

 

[Gigant]

Ederson
Stones Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Rodri
KDB Kovačić
Bernardo Haaland Foden

Are people seriously expecting a draw or are they just trying to ‘cry it in’ as the youth say?

A break from the starting lineup (to earn it back), not to rest.

Based on what?

 

[MCFCMaz]

Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Grealish, Foden, Haaland

I agree with this line up. Not sure why people are automatically putting kovacic starting.

They've got a decent manager now. First home game back in the Premier league, they might even scrape a win
