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

[Ric]

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

I imagine it’ll be more a back three of Walker, Akanji and Ake with Lewis pushing up alongside Rodri.

It might be something like this

Ederson
Walker Akanji Ake
Rodri Kovacic
Bernardo Lewis KDB Foden
Haaland

With Rodri dropping back into defence in possession.

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

Is your real name Dale Carnegie by any chance?

:)

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Expect us to control the tempo

As you were, Viking hatttick 4-1

Lewis is the best option for that role if Stones is ever missing.

Alternatively it could just be the 4-2-3-1 from the weekend with Laporte starting.

The resurrection of Matteo Kovacic, what an incredible recovery from death in less than 24 hours

I can get behind this. I like it. Cheers. No need for that 6th beer. Not yet, anyway...

Shhh you, that would be anticlimactic!

Our backroom staff don't get enough credit for the job they do.

 

[halfcenturyup]

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

Fuck me. That must be a long list after the last couple of years.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

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

He could do but I think I saw someone saying Lewis starts, so could be Lewis inverting from left back:

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

Doctor C has done himself proud, together with the smoothies we awaken the dead.

Onto my 7th page of A4 paper now.

 

[Willtaylor]

Thanks, but I'll do what I think is bebest

You do that, personally I think it's a little misleading as it comes across as you know they are out as a fact

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

I imagine it’ll be more a back three of Walker, Akanji and Ake with Lewis pushing up alongside Rodri.

Which he can do from left or right, I remember listening to a few outside the ground against the rags last season when we started with Ake & Akanji (plus no Rodri) that turned out ok

 

[wolviedinho]

With so many players either in the morgue or the hospital city are fucked tonight.

Buy Txiki buy -:)

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Who the fuck is that guy??!!!

I can’t help how you interpret my post. Only thing I'll say, and it's my final word on it, is that no one else seemed to have a problem with my post. So, maybe the issue is at your end. Have a good evening.
