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

[Gone for a Burton]

Josko & KdB to start from the bench.

Phil to replace Spider,Eddie in goal.

Otherwise as Sunday.

Plenty of options off the bench ...no point in rushing Kev and let Josko learn how we play and earn his place.

A proper intense work out will be perfect conditioning for the long,game by game haul to the summit.

defenders usually get thrown in by pep Dias and Akanji both were. I think it will help him if kova is infont of him... But i think he gets put in personally.

i think the other change will be phil for Alvarez.

We look really short on numbers from a squad perspective



When you compare our squad depth with Arsenal it’s highlighted just how short of depth we have compared to our direct competitors

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Based on what?

Based on Foden looking sharp and deserving a place, and him looking like he's still working his way to full fitness.

I also think anyone of KDB, Bernardo and Alvarez deserve a start ahead of him. Just my opinion.

given that both teams can only have 9 subs were fine plus were going to sign at least 1 player maybe 2.

also Matt turner, balogun, lokonga, tavarez, Pepe, runarson, marquinhos wont even be at arsenal when the window closes doesnt even matter.

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

Anything other than a win is a really poor result for us. Vinnie has done great but he’s still a rookie, no miracle worker and we put 6 past probably a better Burnley not long ago

Arsenal have too many players think I read 30 and they have to get rid of a fair few.

theres rumours well sign a winger and i think we do by time window shuts..... I think some have just got to be patient.... Weve got to sort outgoings out too. Theres still lots of things to be sorted.
