Burton (a) pre-match thread

[Pingu the Penguin]

Great line up. I expect us to storm out of the traps (watch it be 0-0 now!)

 

[lastmanback]

Do you know if they are playing their first team today?

Only 4/5 from team that played weekend.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Yep! Same fucking arseholes wingeing every time as well! Funny how in the post match forum they are gushing when we win though?

Its a shame not everyone has your ever present positivity and optimism......

 

[deano ou812]

To be fair even though it’s a dead rubber technically,they do have the chance to break the agg record for both legs just need 3 goals I think it is..

 

[Tuearts right boot]

If Burton get beaten at the Pirelli Stadium tonight, will it because they were two tyred?

At least it will a well balanced match with plenty of tracking back.

Guardiola mentioned that he could foresee one player maybe not playing in his natural position. Hard to tell who that could be when you see the team.

Like to see a win with the kids,should be a decent game

To be fair it’s been a Goodyear for burton so far ...

So if we are not 5-0 up by half time will the matchday forum implode....

Come join the Happy Clapper Defence League in the matchday forum then. We're always looking for more folks plus we're close to getting health insurance :D.

Probably going to be Sergio playing in Ferna’s position.

 

[kaz7]

Burton going out to at least score a goal

Plenty on here hate tyre puns, so tread carefully

Lol, true fact though. Rather you policing them than me! ;-)

I wondered if Delph was maybe going to play left back and Zinchenko midfield. Must admit, when he said it I had visions of Ederson playing midfield.

 

[SWP's back]

Would have liked 1 more kid to start. Looks like one of them isn't gonna get on :(

Pep gonna get hammered if Aguero picks up an injury!

I’m sure @Bill is up to the job.

 

[schfc6]

According to the Forza football app Micah Richards is on the bench for us!

He deserves a run..

 

[Nelinho]

Aguero resting against Burnley then.

My first thought also. Gabby vs Burnley, Sergio vs Newcastle...

Good luck to the team, no injuries please. Please.

PS. By the way, there's no such thing as a "nothing game". The boys enter the pitch with zero pressure (even though the youngsters could appear a bit nervous, which is normal), that's a completely different thing -and a bonus. City have a lot to gain from this match...

 

[jimharri]

If Burton go 3 or 4 up by HT, should we start to panic?

There’ll be panicking if they go a goal up ffs Jim ;-)

The kids have a strong midfield & À+ front line tbf :)

Surprised to see such a strong line up.
