Burnley (H) - Wed 31st Jan, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Quieter than usual at the ground. Got a beer with no queueing. I'm piss wet though. Traffic terrible, blue lights blocked the road and my usual route so turned round and through Woodhouses. Hope it's worth it, a good result. I'm sure it will with the team we have out (cracking bench if changes required).

Probably coz we’re stuck on the trams mate, they are barely crawling.

It’s quite the experience! Haha!

Foden out wide? Looks that way. Will drift in with Rico pushing in to Walkers spot probably

IDK what the answer is, but the worst-case scenario is Phil starts evaluating things for himself if KDB signs an extension. While he still has plenty of years in front of him, he also turns 24 in a few months.

Why on earth would Phil consider his options if Kev extends? He will still get plenty of game time and hopefully more medals

I’m sure his contribution tonight will be far more worthwhile than your post.

To be honest, if we have all the ball like I expect and he's up wide where Walker often is, I expect a much better return from Lewis than I do Walker.

Pep fuming with Ruben at after fulltime vs Tottenham... Now on the bench... rested?

5 or 6 changes from the last match.
I doubt there is anything in it.
Kovacic, Bernardo, Walker on bench too

Really quiet around the ground. Still pissing down.

Could be because certain areas are gridlocked traffic wise!! I left my house at just after 5.10 and at 6.35 I was just 3/4mile from home. I have had to reluctantly abandon it and come home. As I turned down a side street to come back the police were closing the road. I thought I would then try to go a different route but that was also jammed so am now at home devastated not to see VK and JS!!

I don't know how the Eccles OSC coach has gone on. Luckily they were starting from the other side of the trouble I was in but I've just read that round Salford Royal Hospital and also through Swinton there are problems.
Ah well such is life. :-( :-)

Give over ffs. What a strange conclusion to reach.
Phil is going nowhere.

I'm expecting 4 subs at least - maybe a couple at half time eg Dias for Stones. Haaland, Grealish, Bernie will all get on too I reckon.

Unfortunately you can only set the poll deadline by the hour, day or month from when you are creating the thread. I always try to choose the hour closest to kick off. Bit of an oversight on this one, should have picked 19:06 instead of 20:06.

Thank you. Shows how much I know about technology. I needed a beam me up Scotty to get to the game tonight... Can you get someone to invent that please? :-)
