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

Your post was very misleading, don't say they are unavailable unless you know this for certain. Thanks

Thanks, but I'll do what I think is best.

Does that include Ederson?

I'm good with either keeper...

 

[MarsLlama]

Doubt Pep's resting anyone, I reckon he sees this as the more important of the two games. If anyone is missing they're either not fit or he's got a tactical reason. Maybe he sees pace as the way to beat their right-back so has left Jack out? We'll find out in a bit anyway.

I think Gvardiol will be on the bench. Can understand not throwing him straight in to an away game after only a few days of training, settling into a new country etc. Guessing this’ll be the team from the early leaks, which should have more than enough to beat Burnley:

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Ake
Lewis
Rodri
Kovacic
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Foden
Haaland

I love Rico in midfield, and good at right back, but never convinced at left-back. Let's hope we smooth sail...

Haha, it takes some bollocks to have joined a year ago (with 211 posts), come in to a match thread, and act a **** to a mod that has been on here since before the takeover, with nearly as many posts as you likely have hours on this earth.

He's gone onto the "posters to watch" list Seb!

He’s certainly earned it!

No way. You rarely get a chance to win the Super Cup. We need to win on Wednesday.

I couldn't possibly comment.



Damn, I already have.

Maybe Laporte starts? As he’s better than Ake at playing out from the back especially with Burnley’s press.
