Burnley (h) pre-match thread

[Mr.Feeny]

Will Kevin DeBryune start this match?

It's important to get some minutes here and in the Champions League match because he's got to be up to full fitness if he's going to start against spurs who press relentlessly.

Wtf??? get real

Lol
He says the same in every pre-match thread, perhaps as a good luck charm

Do they? When did we last lose an away game at Spurs. ?

The year before last, due to the cuddly blind linesman

I think we lost 2-0 in 2017. That was the match that ruined the 100% start to that season.

This is one of those games that on first glance looks to be a battering - possession, shots on goal, shots on target, goals. But I expect that it will be one of those frustrating games we see so often these days at The Etihad - the away team starts with a clean sheet and one point - and come Hell, high water, Aguero, Sané, Sterling, and the Whistling Wanker they are gonna try and hang on to both those till the final whistle. Or it could be an early goal - a second minute dodgy pen where Jonny Moss, or similar, spots an imaginary handball a yard outside the area and points to the spot - followed by an absolute avalanche of goals that has BGVS reeling round his technical area by HT! Either way round, Eddie is gonna play a blinder! Does any PL goalie take a goal kick with such panache, any stopper play a pass to a team mate with such disdain for the opposition. If I took Eddie down to Boggart Hole Clough boating lake I'm sure he could walk on the fuckin' water!

I’m not coming all the way from the states and taking a day from my honeymoon to not see a battering!!!

Back to last seasons basics for me:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Mendy
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

Obviously Merlin played last season but Bernardo is become such an important player this season it would be great to see how him and kev got on together

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Every single time!

I think you need a bigger keepnet; )

It was actually October 2016..Pep's first season.I was in Spain at the time in a bar full of Spuds fans!!

I'm expecting a Joe Hart V Barcelona away performance fom him.

Still, we'll hit enough shots to his left to win.

I'd hang fire will probably offer free upgrades in the week.

This is what they said last time they announced it (Brighton game).
Free upgrades
For this match, upgrades for Seasoncard Holders is complimentary. You do not need to make any adjustment to your Seasoncard in order for an adult to enter on a concession ticket.

If they don't announce it I think you have to contact the Ticket Office and pay the difference, however I have never done it. Perhaps others will know.

Ring city up and they will do it over phone
