Oh well all optimistic then, as.that only reduces it to 9 points and this is a team that lost only 1 game last season and lost none this season to to now
I'm hoping that the pressure is off now we are so far behind, and start to relax and play again.
Not seen much of Burnley this year but I'd rest raheem, go for a midfield three of foden kdb and rodri, mahrez and bernie with jesus up front.
Let rodri sit and tell others just go and chase and play.
Defensive wise, walker and otamendi must start for me. Fern will play then pick out if a hat for left back

And this season will be a replica of last season ?
They only won 30 we won 32.
Are you calling the season over after 14 games ?
They could go all season unbeaten and still lose.
( saw that too. I doubt it. I'd have thought he would need a weeks training before getting a game but maybe he could make the bench. I think Mendy will start this game because his height maybe useful.

I really think Foden and Bernardo need to start this one

Every time I see Zin in midfield for Ukraine he is superb. I know some may think it’s clutching at straws, but I would really like to see him play in his natural position.
NO! Get him back at LB, he is our strongest LB.
He is not good enough for the middle of the park
When Zin plays LB he is in midfield for 80% of the match. The difference in position is not that great. I would like to see him play properly in midfield but I don't think now is the time...we need him at LB ASAP.

No, he makes a list of things to help get the result required on the day,and let's the ref know the best fit for the incident they need to manipulate
I just can't see Pep starting Foden away at Burnley. I think he should, but I just can't see it happening.
Gets more likely in December because of the number of fixtures. And Pep must see the lack of pace in our midfield. It causes problems both defensively and offensively. City were a different side in the 2nd half at home to Chelsea, largely because both Foden and Jesus were able to press Chelsea's defence.

Feel really indifferent to this game. A win would be nice but doesn't really matter now in terms of the league. Looking forward to the Oxford game more than any other at the moment. Would be nice if Pep plays Foden tomorrow night but I'm not holding my breath.

Can't risk him if he's not 100%. Angelino over Mendy every time though.
