Burnley (a) pre-match thread

Desperately need to give Fernandinho a rest. Could even stick Stones in DM...

When you look at how Pep fits people into positions you wouldn't expect, Ferna at right back, Delph at left back, how about Vincent as DM to give Ferna a rest. Its a role Kompany wouldn't struggle with for a game or two

 

[Andouble]

No way would I trust Kompany to go up and down the pitch in a box to box role.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see Zinchenko give it a whirl. Has a good pass, good positionally, decent in the air for his size and makes some nice interceptions.

Not a chance fernandinho will be rested he is the heart of this team and its the only position we have no cover.

Wouldnt mind seeing kompany start.

Cant see anything but a city win

We could be 18 points clear by the time the rags kick off, incredible.

 

[Silva_Spell]

This could be a bit of a baptism of fire for Laporte atm
Wouldn't be starting Zinchenko here either as they will target him aerially

Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne Gundogan
Sterling Aguero Bernardo

Bravo Zinchenko Stones/Tosin Laporte Toure Brahim Nmecha

We'll have a week off after this so no rests.​

Another shit kicking coming up happily ignored by the officials.

Is ferna on 9 bookings? Should really look to pick up one against Burnley in that case

I thought they started from scratch after the first 19 games - but I could be incorrect

 

[Bluekiwi]

So we've got Martin Atkinson for this game.

Aguero
