Burnley v City - pre-match

[mat]

Good grief people. The whining is out of control. Who from Burnley's team would get into our line up today?

Paul Robinson.

:)

Gundy and stones are rested not injured

 

[mat]

Probably covered already but is Stones injured?

Rested according to 5live.

 

[SWP's back]

I'm going to wait and see what this side plays like, before i make my mind up about it.

Seems a sensible idea.

 

[cookster]

How do you mean sorry?

If we go direct who will hold the ball up? Kun and Raheem don't hold the ball well, maybe Nolito.

 

[mosssideblue]

The man is a fraud.

Care to explain Bill

 

[kaz7]

Shall we watch the game first?

It's a mp team with no creativity at all

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Paul Robinson playing for them. Last time I saw him he was managing Lassiters and Kylie was getting her kebabs from Jason's Donnervan. Pity Helen Daniels ain't playing for them too.

Yaya?

Good lord, Otta and Kola..

I'm going for 1-1 ....

Toure. Sterling. Nolito?

 

[Bill]

??

Total disrespect of our opponents.

Clean sheet is the key .

No need for taking that approach when there's flapping to be done :-)

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

It's 1am in NZ so better be worth staying up for.

 

[cookster]

Yaya?

Could do, hopefully Fernando sits with Diniho and Yaya in front of him.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

That team is defo not a stroke of genius

The proof will be in the pudding I guess.
Pep at this point is starting to annoy me slightly in the messing about with teams and formations every few minutes. It seems as he wants to be seen as a man who wins games by his tactical genius as opposed to winning a match with a settled side with players knowing a system from min 1 to 90

 

[kaz7]

Toure. Sterling. Nolito?

Nowhere near the same as dave or kev

 

[Mr HJ]

Only gripe is no Sane, I don't see the point of him warming the bench game after game. He will only settle if he gets minutes, and as others have alluded to we seem to not have much faith in the youth in our senior squad.

I'm not sure Sevilla play the Burnley way ;)
