Burnley (A) - Sat 2nd April, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 (GMT). Not on TV for those in the UK.

2 weeks away from now, so a much needed break.

I think in general the performances have to improve, we haven't been poor but we need to get back to controlling our matches a lot better. One of the easier games we have left on paper, probably the easiest away game we have left if there is such a thing.

We'll probably go into this match in 2nd place for the first time in a while (Liverpool kick off early at home to Watford), so hopefully that'll be enough motivation.

Our record v Burnley is very good.

Win this and it puts pressure on Liverpool to come to our place needing a win.

Atletico (H) is 3 days later.

Absentees v Southampton
Ruben Dias
Cole Palmer

Get a rest in if possible, then get fucking serious.

They'll give us a game. But if we're not winning this, frankly, we've no business being champions.

These are always tricky games after a break when we have players travelling and they don’t lose any players and have 2 weeks to prepare. And dry out their pitch.

"Not on TV for those in the UK".

It'll be on my TV and I'll have 6 or 7 decent channels to choose from, thank you very much: )

3pm Sat, not a tv match, hype-free - plus there’s been a break (apart from international friendlies), and it’s Burnley who have been awful this season > confident of no wobbles here.

Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Zina
Fernandinho
Bernardo Gundogan

I'd just change Rodri for Fernandinho, Mahrez for Jesus and Foden for Sterling.

 

[Stoned Rose]

I fucking detest these cunts.

We need to be giving them a 7-0 arse fucking,
