Burnley (A) - Pre-Match Thread

It will be interesting to see what happens next summer.

City have been in no rush to hand Stones a contract extension and he will have just two years left at the end of this season.

Most clubs would cover that base already but it would not surprise me if we look to cash in, based on a reluctance to increase his already high wages?

As things stand, the only saving grace for him is he is homegrown, which sums up how far a talented £50m defender has lapsed.

He's taken his eye off the ball, both on and off the field this last year.

I genuinely hope he can get back his mojo.

Right, "cash in". Who's paying anything significant for Stones?

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

Barca?

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

Hahaha good one

 

[ninjamonkey]

How often are you expecting them to be doing that?

That requires having the ball for quite a while, so that our defensive line is parked deep.

Enough for it to be a problem for us. We don’t press like we did last season. McNeil puts in a decent ball from deep. He will also be targeted from set pieces

No sergio,we need raz

I wonder if we’ll play Raz through the middle with Bernie and Jesus out wide. I really think that’s Jesus’s best position.

I'm going in,hopefully they have got the dipper talk over

Try turning your source off and back on. That should force it to sync.

It's close enough thanks TMT

Pissed off with that and no Foden.

Again, zero fucking pace through the middle, although understand the need for height with Rodri.

Dave just doesn't justify starting these days.

Seemingly Pep has already decided it is Gundo, KDB and Rodri in midfield against United.

Oh good lord no!!

He'd rather have him out the rags game than the Arse.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Probably been asked, but why the daft kick-off time of 20:15?

Is this summat to do with it being shown on Amazon.
