Burnley (h) pre-match thread

[remember arthur mann]

No It won't be. They are very average and will park a very big bus. It may turn out to be a frustrating afternoon but it will not be a difficult game.

Yep, nice workout for the rags re parked bus and thuggery !

4-0 us. Kun will get on the score sheet.

Just have a feeling this will be another very big score, i'm going for 6....

A current in depth report on Burnley, perhaps their luck will run out Saturday.

Thanks for putting that on. Their manager is certainly getting an awful lot out of their players. I think the stats show they work so hard and maybe, deservedly, they have been getting the rub of the green.

And I really agree with not turning their backs on shots. I hate that!

Hi, does anyone know a good place to watch the game in New York with my 11 year old son?

Would play the strongest team again versus Burnley , absolutely no let up in the Premier league , the Rags have some tricky games coming up and we need to establish a 5 or 6 points lead and a superior goal difference as well. We can rest players against in the league cup and latter stages of champs league when we have topped the group , we can give fringe players like bernardo , danilo , bravo , gundagon , yaya , a mid week game and hopefully Kun and Vinnie will be back for some match fitness.

we can give fringe players like bernardo , danilo , bravo , gundagon , yaya , a mid week game - hardly fringe players really. I think Gundogan and Bernardo in particular will be increasingly vital to the squad and team in coming weeks. Offering a pretty seamless interchanging so that Pep can select any three from those two, David Silva, Fernandinho, Sane without any blip or drop in quality, style of play formation.

Agreed as long as we get a couple of early goals

tuesday's milk cup game is the one for resting players, not the league.
strongest possible line-up on saturday to keep the momentum going and the confidence up.

Are you stuck in a time warp from the early 1980s? ;-)
