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

[brummie blue]

you have to wonder what Laporte needs to do to get a start, Stones and Dias saved for midweek (another cup)

Surprised Alvarez got the nod.

Hopefully Stones & Dias nothing serious.

I assume it's Rico at LB.

Yes id say so. He will be the one who tucks in with rodri. I dontt think its worked very well previously with him on the left.

 

[DMA's]

Reckon it will be

ederson

walker akanji ake Lewis

Rodri bernardo

foden kdb alvarez

haaland

No Ruben, no party I’m afraid.
1-0 Burnley.

That’s at 23/1 - get your money where your mouth is!

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Fuck knows how that lines up. Lots of attacking impetus which is good

not very convincing back 4

Not sure it’s a four

Lewis will go into midfield next to Rodri

Drops back like Stones would have been

Surprised Kova not starting though

No Ruben, no party I’m afraid.
1-0 Burnley.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Walker cb, Lewis Rb?

Walker RB, Ake and Akanji CB's, and Rico LB.

 

[Haaland94]

I would have started the Croats, Kovacic has been great, and do we really want to start Josko in a Cup final as his first start?

 

[MCFC1993]

5-4 City.

Hm. Not optimistic really. But then I rarely am.
