[ladcameo]

The dip is peddling the 'doping line'.

Absolutely not.. more in awe and amazement than anything..

Isn’t anyone else concerned about Dave getting pinged for his high boot last night?

Nar, it wasn't even close to being bad enough for a suspension.

Pal, at least they don't start threads like VAR is a Joke, Is title race scripted, how are you feeling etc.. It is miraculous surely to see this kind of intensity and I mean it in a positive way..

Calm down, calm down
We know exactly what you meant

 

[Pete Campbell]

I'd go:

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko

Dinho
Foden
Silva

Sterling
Aguero
Bernardo

No

 

[SWP's back]

you guys are pretty tired but dont show any fatigue whatsoever strangely and miraculously..

What are you saying lar?

Also we looked fucking tired against Spurs.

He’s not a troll, he’s awed and amazed by City.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Foden should start.

Foden shouldn't be anywhere near this game.

It's going to be too physical for a young player and they would thrive in snide elbows and pushes etc.

Pep's done well to introduce Foden mainly at home.

It's a game for our experienced heads again.

3 at the back would be a good shout if Mendy was fit and we had 7 days to drill it.

I think it will be as you were.

 

[lionheart]

I'd go:

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko

Dinho
Foden
Silva

Sterling
Aguero
Bernardo

Sane will definitely start and I don't think Fernandinho will be fit mate. Hopefully the Gundog will bark loud enough and bite a few legs.

 

[City_Sean]

Hope Mendy is fit as we need to match their height and physicality.

Ederson
Walker Otamendi Laporte Mendy
Gundogan Dinho Silva
Bernardo Aguero Sterling

 

[Oyster28catcher]

last year Burnley proven that they can battle with City. They'll be nowt grand about this game. It'll be scrappy and attritional at best. Here's hoping we're ready for it

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Motivation beats class sometimes. We have both.

9p against Palace, Spurs and Utd are massive, don’t think we’ll screw up from here.

Still, 4 finals left this season!

 

[City Raider]

It seems much of the disappointments (not that many) of last season can be used to motivate this season. I’m sure Pep will have been into the players after our CL exit reminding the players of the horrible week last season. Our performances against Spurs and the Rags have put that to bed.

Similarly the Sterling miss last season and a poor performance here. We’ll be keen to right another wrong.

The only difference being that Burnley are now safe, minds turning to the beach and have no reason to scrap like dogs

 

[7evens]

Nervy 2-1 win for City.

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko
Gundogan
Sterling, Bernardo, D. Silva, Sane
Aguero

Muric, Danilo, Otamendi, Mahrez, Foden, Jesus, Gundogan

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Burnley are on 40 points after going unbeaten in 4. That is good for us. They are home and hosed.

I'd play Sane Aguero Sterling up front and B Silva in midfield with Gundo. Picking the third midfielder is tough as D Silva and Foden are short arses and if Burnley are going to get something it will be because they make it a battle.

Maybe Danilo in the Fdinho spot if he is injured or Stones if he is fit.
