Start with our strongest team then get the most important ones to feign injury and limp off in the second half. Pull out of the international and have a rest.

Oh sorry forgot that we were not like that bunch of twats from Trafford.

Are you a Burnley fan?

Heh! Am usually mega confident but there’s just something about this one

I hope everybody doesn’t get lost in the Vinny return aspect. These Dingles are still one of the hateful eight.

Looking forward to this.

Burnley have absolutely nothing to lose and with a 13pt cushion they can go all out.

We cannot underestimate them :)

Ortega

Walker Dias Laporte Ake

KDB Rodri Gundogan

Mahrez Haaland Grealish

Looking forward to this. Hate Burnley Love Vinny. They are playing well and Vinny will want them to play well at the Etihad

This will be much harder than last night v RB. They tried to beat us at our own game. We destroy 99% of teams that try what they did.

Vinny will set up for the counter & keep it very compact. He won’t want a 3/4 loss. He’d take a 1-0 defeat.

Be a tight, physical & frustrating game this.

That’s not his Burnley’s game though

Dunno whether you watch Burnley this season mate but they are indeed playing very well. We cannot cobble together a B team because they play a neat passing game and have scored plenty off the wings.

Kompany has instilled a winning never say die mentality and they've scored several goals in the dying in seconds to win or draw.

They have several players of PL quality. Muric looks a good keeper, Taylor Harwood-Bellis looked composed and commanding until he got injured. Maatsen, Benson, Tella, Zaroury and Obafemi are good players we must keep an eye on if they play.

I'm looking forward to what should be an entertaining game which we should win but Burnley will be up for it so we cannot take beating them for granted.

Go full strength before International break. No messing about. Put the game to bed then bring on the squad players. Only exception is Ortega, give him the gloves.
