Burnley v City - pre-match

[mrtwiceaseason]

Or he's managing his squad.

I think with no CL games now then we shall see a far more settled side.

Maybe maybe not ,why win a game with a seetled team when you can draw a match with some players playing 4 positions in a game ( navas ) ?

Be good to see if Yaya is as hungry for this game as he was last week

Clearly he must feel for this type of opponent, he has selected the strongest team.

And if pellers had selected it ?

Is anyone under 65 from Burnely??

FFS move on. Pellers has gone.

Let's hope so.

The problem was never the ability, it was there application under nosfaratu!!

Can't see that line up getting hit too easily on the break, might lack a bit of creativity though depending on how restricted Dinho is.

He hasn,t.

I agree to a degree, he has looked lost but sometimes a player needs to be given a chance - as you say he seems a confidence player and perhaps a start or two may be a turning point. Certainly I trust Pep, but I am a little worried that he has quickly reverted to relying on players like Kolarov, Fernando and Sagna who I for one thought would be gone given their age and propensity to commit errors at crucial times. I suppose we will find out in 90 mins when we may be calling this selection genius!

I completely agree on the Kolarov and Fernando part of your post

I think it shows, as I've said, that there is great work to do in the summer as some of those players wouldn't and shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11.

I would hope with Sane that we start to see him more but i think it should be in home games where we are winning and playing well and at present we are not playing anywhere near the level that we can play under Pep
