Burnley (H) - FA Cup - Sat 18th March, 17:45 | Pre-Match Thread

[Cricket Blue]

Strongest possible team, please, Baldy. You know it makes sense. What a week it will be if we can progress tomorrow evening.

Up the fucking Blues.

Baldy who Pep or Vinny?

Gundog‘s wife gave birth after the win against Red Bull, we need to give some regulars a rest, but we should still have enough, a narrow victory willdo for me

Agreed. Any relatively calm, scare-free win will do. Actually, I wouldn't like Vinny to be on the end of a really bad defeat (> 4 goals).

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Think we'll see Ortega, maybe Lewis, but otherwise I can see it will be a very familiar staring e

Would be comfortable with both of those, actually.

They both warrant a game. Just not sure they'll get one, with the international break next weekend. Which is a pity.

 

[JGL07]

I'm definitely not taking this one for granted. Burnley will go for it but they'll be patient and take a controlled approach. We've got far too much for them and therefore should win, but I wouldn't write Vinny's Burnley off.

This could be another Wigan. Hold on to your hats.

A lower division team from the North West managed by a former City legend visiting the Etihad. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[stan bowles]

Will be great to see Vinny back at the Etihad. What a legend. Still hope we smash them.

 

[MadchesterCity]

City, sheff u, Brighton, scum to go through, but your choice would be ideal

yup i suspect you are right, but there is often one surprise, hope we're not it

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

This will all be on Pep's selection , if the likes of Rico, Phillips , Palmer , Gomez all get starts we should still have enough to win ,but i would prefer to start with the strongest team get the game won and make five subs in the latter stages. Quite sure Vinnie will go with his strongest available starting eleven he will want to make a good impression with his team on his homecoming

Agreed. Any relatively calm, scare-free win will do. Actually, I wouldn't like Vinny to be on the end of a really bad defeat (> 4 goals).

Would any Burn Lee players get in our team ?

There's the outcome.
