Burnley (H) | Pre-Match Thread

No surprise that de Bruyne, Walker, Mahrez and Torres all start, as none of them was in the team on Wednesday.

Good to see Stones given a vote of confidence by Pep; I’d imagine that Laporte has a knock, as he’s not even on the bench

On the plus side, our kids have just put seven past Liverpool and Klopp is having a full on meltdown. A City win and it'll have been a good day.

Klopp breaking down live on tv, woe is me.

How funny was that, what a fucking blouse.

Just told BT Sport they injured Milner.

Ha ha good!

What will Dyche moan about after the game this season?​

1. City players going over too easily
2. The amount of time added on
3. The cost of our squad compared to theirs
4. The ball went out of play
5. All of the above

Hopefully all of the above or something has gone seriously wrong

Let’s hope Ric.

Shooting boots on please

no fucking Foden again

Steffen deserves a shot as well. I really liked him whenever I saw him play before.

 

[burning blue soul]

I think there is a crisis of confidence with Pep right now. That team sheet smacks of a guy playing super safe and ignoring the form guide
I blame the assistant manager here. He is either convincing Pep to play these players, or he is not cajoling Pep into the right positive frame of mind. Take your pick.
Whichever it is, we are not playing our best side in this game.
