Burnley (A) - Pre-Match Thread

[urban genie]

Liking Nigel De Jong as a pundit, talking sense

Plus we get the return of crimson clive commentating on our games

If nico tries to hard to compete with Burnley's front two he will give away a pen
and prob get a red card before the Derby.

To be fair anyone can give away a pen ,oliver is on var so a pen is a given,this is a game for someone who isn't scared to get stuck in,pity we don't have vinny

 

[OntarioBlue]

No he isn't
So, he has never won and aerial battle? stop talking bollocks

I didn’t say he NEVER wins aerial battles. Don’t invent things.

I said he gets beaten in the air all the time and he does.

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.

But Nige flown in from Qatar. I also like Gabby. No problems for me so far.

Absolutely 100% chance that Raheem will get booked and miss the Derby. Why does Pep rarely think ahead?

To be honest, he’s not playing well this season. We would miss his goal threat though.

Nico's gotten one red card in his entire City career and it was that stupid second yellow against Schalke, come off it

I surely thought he'd play Foden tonight. Dave hasn't got the legs to play every game any more.

Saving him for the Rags...

Incoming aerial bombardment to Chris Wood. We are going to have to work very hard to stop them lumping crosses into our box.

Come on you blue boys!

 

[OntarioBlue]

That really is a conclusive stat - lol

So, if I interpret that stat for the person who just accused me of talking bollocks, Otamendi loses 39% or almost 4 in 10 of aerial battles.
