Burnley (A) - Pre-Match Thread

[brummie blue]

20 minutes into the coverage and the following noted:

The studio picture is ok, any coverage of action (replys) has a flicker problem.

The anti City rhetoric is alive and well at amazon, a dig about us not coping with Liverpool, no clean sheets for ages, Shearer might as well have a red shirt on,

8.15pm is a stupid kick off time

and Turf Moor is a shit hole and shouldn't be a venue for premier league football.

Sorry if it's been asked before but what did Pep say about Burnley on that Amazon Prime series?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Ah shit, didn't spot Otamendi in there.

 

[simon23]

Ottomendi? Really?

Is he better than Stones in the air?

Other than that decent team

Mendy deserved dropping after that performance at weekend as did Mahrez

 

[cjn]

If Sterling gets booked in this he misses the derby.

Oh, great. I didn't realize that. The accumulation rule is stupid by the way.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Really surprised they haven't started Ashley Barnes tonight. They'll probably get out of their own half twice and score two goals.
Hopefully 3 points tonight and a good performance to lift the spirits.
Come on City.

 

[razman]

Decent team....hope sterling doesnt pick a yellow

Otamendi and Fernandinho worry me height wise against this lot who just pump balls up to two big men. I’d have played Stones with Rodri at the back and put Fern in midfield.

Ah shit, didn't spot Otamendi in there.

Probably more suited to this type of game than Stones to be fair.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

I would say Ota is no slouch aerially and, especially compared to Stones

I would pick Stones over Otamendi in every aspect of defending
