Burnley v City - pre-match

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

A ball hasn,t been kicked and your at it already. Mind, you're not alone.

I am in a time warp. Reminds me of the comments on here last season.

Personally I don't like the look of this line up but we shall see. If anything it was Aguero who looked like he needed a rest.

They'll have 8 players in two tight banks of four behind the ball. Silva is next to useless against that sort of line-up but a bit surprised about Yaya ahead of Kev. We need to worry about the break so I think the cautious approach is best. Also I'd much rather have Sagna than Zab at FB. But we need to ask questions about what the fuck Begiristain has been doing when we end up with Kolarov and Ota at centre back. I hope Serg proves me wrong but I think he was the wrong choice here.

I would like to see them get the Mancini treatment as in 2010.

Would be great to get off to a flyer.

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

we have already seen that in other games where Pep has selected what people may call a MP team but the way the team has played has been completely different not only in application but tactically as well

FFS move on. Pellers has gone.

Not sticking up for pellers ,just pointing out if he had picked that team blue moon would have crashed,where as it seen as genius as PEPs chosen it

Sergio has better control then Iheanacho and will hold the ball up better to knock back for Yaya's hat-trick ;-)

Looks a bit nippy out there.

I hate George Boyd. Always seems to play at 120% against us.

the one thing about Yaya is that he has that ability more than Kev or Silva to produce a worldy out of nowhere......he could play shit for 89 mins and still do it.....I would rather have the other two virtually all the time but sometimes when the team aint playing well its Yaya (even when playing shit) that pulls it out of the bag,....he did it last week and has done it many times before

Serge looked knackered at the end of the last game so I agree on that one and completely agree on your comments on the centre half pairing!
