Burnley (a) pre-match thread

[Armaan]

Really nervous about this game, Burnley at their ground is gonna be hard.

haha i think he's implying 3-3-3-1 but yeah, looks a little defensive to me too

Yeah 3-3-3-1 when we're attacking which will be around 75% of the time

Augero and De Bruyne could have scored three apiece against West Brom. Diaz, Sterling and Zinchenko all went close, how many times this season could they have had six or seven?There's bound to be a match when 90% of the chances go in instead of being missed and if they get an early lead this could be it. I fancy a repeat of the day Goater scored a hat-trick there but will settle for 2-0 and no injuries.

Chill guys. Have a feeling that this is the match when the conversion rate of the many chances created will significantly increase.

0-4 city

I know we have injuries but just seen Burnley have more than us so that should not be an excuse. We have enough quality to get the correct result providing we get some sort of decent ref if there is such a thing these days.

Going to be tough game but I can see our quality coming through. One of my big concerns is that hard man wannabe ex rag Bardsley going through the back of one of our players. I predict a 1-3 away win and 18 points clear.

I was thinking the exact same thing, That horrible cretin constantly tries to do damage to our players even in his Stoke days he was always at it.

Going to be a tough game I'll go 2-0 City.

If we can keep Ashley Barnes quiet (Their best player, in my view) we have little else to fear. (Apart from, as other’s on here have already stated, that dirty ex-rag f*cker, Bardsley).

Nearly 21% of us think we cant get a result at Burnley, quite staggering that considering how good we are, even with players out injured, love to know what these negative assumptions are based on, we are all entitled to our opinion of course but not far off a quarter of us think we are not capable of winning at Burnley, beggars belief...!
