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

[BringBackSwales]

A must win game considering we have all these other games (club world championships) etc and we might be 2 or 3 games behind other teams in the league.

Probably a bit early to be panicking just yet

 

[KS55]

Stones and Guardiola? Doubt that

Have Pep’s boots not been cleaned? I must get into the habit of getting his name right, so Josko it is.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Pawson and OliVAR

Mate were city.

We let some **** go 12 points in front and fuck them to the title by 9 points.

Welcome to where? they're at home, he's doing the welcoming!
Seriously though I can't imagine him ever getting anything other than a rousing reception from blues.

Seems too soon, the football authorities need to consider giving the elite teams longer to rest. It might be a draw, then we have another meaningless friendly to help the Uefa coffers, and then Newcastle. Ridiculous!

Probably already been mentioned but for anyone with Sky tv but not Sky Sports, it looks like Sky are showing this broadcast on their “free” channel 106, Sky Showcase, 6.30pm - 10.15pm

Out of condition? Admittedly I was in the 30th row of the third tier but he looked sharp and energetic to me, and he was asking the other players to close arsenal players down as much as he was. Mind you I was reading in here he was off the pace second half of last season including when he absolutely destroyed arsenal away and home

Those blue tinted specs are working well!
Trust me, I'm right.

 

[Manc123]

i think some fail to see that we play 4 defenders not 3.

Yes stones will do into midfield when in possession but when defending were a 4 with rodri in front.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I'd keep Alvarez and Haaland up front together. Both need to get back to scoring soon.

..........Ederson...........
...Stones Dias Gvardiol...
.......Rodri Kovacic.......
Bernardo Foden Grealish
......Alvarez Haaland.....

I'd go with this, although I don't think Gvaridol gets thrown in right away over Ake.
