Burnley (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[lonestay]

I just hope that if Dyche goes for the classic park the bus formation this afternoon, we dont just keep doing what we did against spurs. If Burnley dont want to play football then lets do the same, its not down to City to provide the entertainment for BT this afternoon, i dont want to watch attack V defence for a 90 min training session. If this was a boxing match and a boxer didnt want to engage with the opponent, then the ref would be warning him that the bout would be stopped .

Just hope Bernardo and Mahrez don't start. Both wildly out of form. Neither deserve to start.

The difficulty is playing Foden and Bernardo together in midfield. They were the reason we completely obliterated Olympiakos from that game. That is the first time this season we did this. It would be great to be able to do it again but I don't think we can play Bernardo and Foden every 3 days in this crazy fixture schedule. The City midfield has gone soft because KDB's physicality is very low and this has been a gradual thing but I don't expect a quick fix. I don't see many options for Pep in the mad fixture schedule because Foden and Bernardo the two top midfield pressers can't play every game. Possibly Torres could play inside or Sterling could come deeper.

I like your enthusiasm Marvin but steady on fella. "Completely obliterated" ? We were playing a bunch of kebab shop workers and only won 1-0.

If we stop over playing with the ball and concentrate more on firing shots at the void between the white posts, i can see us winning this

Hopefully the keeper doesn’t have a blinder on his debut if Pope isn’t playing.

Could be wrong but I think you can still get it on iPad/phone for £10/month.

Really? Using the app on my phone, (cast to tv etc) and it’s £25. Is the tenner only if you have bt broadband, phone etc I wonder (which I don’t)

Torres started last 2 PL games. Very weak. Don't want him to start.

He's been better as a striker. Wouldn't mind seeing him play up top and Jesus left. Or even leave out Torres and play Bernardo and KDB with Foden and Sterling out wide.

Maybe you’re right then, in which case I apologise for bum info. Mine was bought through Plusnet which is owned by BT.
