Burton (a) pre-match thread

[cleavers]

Muric is probably not included in the 2 or 3 but I can't see why you exclude Garcia.

Because he's played in each round so far.

Do you think training today was a bit on the chilly side?

Really disappointed there is no facility to vote as this would be on the individual game and not the aggregate result.
Mods?

Think it will be interesting seeing/depending how many kids we put in..& like you said as a one off game..

PEP @benmendy23 is in the squad tomorrow. Maybe on the bench. Mangala is not going to play. I don’t know what situation is with his transfer. If he doesn't leave, he's going to stay with us.

Nae shit, Peplock ;-)

PEP The guys who have a lot of games in their legs are going to rest (tomorrow night). Players who need to play, who haven't played lately, or have come back from injury are going to play.

PEP We start at 9-0. An unusual situation. Our approach is to improve every single game. That is the target I want to see tomorrow - not what happened in the first game. Think about how to attack and how to improve our methods, doing it better and better.

PEP @benmendy23 is in the squad tomorrow. Maybe on the bench. Mangala is not going to play. I don’t know what situation is with his transfer. If he doesn't leave, he's going to stay with us.

PEP @VincentKompany is not okay. A few little injuries. Not fit. He is coming back but I don’t know when.

PEP Muric has played top. We believe he has incredible potential for us. He's not scared to play, even in tough moments. Tomorrow is a chance for him to show us how good he is.

Love the way Pep tries to be all Manc by saying a player ‘played top’.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Fairly relaxed about this one.
No room for complacency though.

Dry, even by your desiccated standards ;-)

It would be good to see Bolton start. He was the most impressive youngster on pre season for me

Dry, even by your desiccated standards ;-)

I thought it was rather moist myself.

I think he's said this since Bayern, actually. In German one would say something is "topp", ie great.
