Burton (First Leg) Post Match Thread

That's no excuse really. Can guarantee that if we'd drawn Chelsea or Spurs in the semi the attendance would have been much more.

Heck, really really?

i was convinced at 6-0 that we would reach double figures, but the game suddenly livened up at 8-0 & 9-0, turned into a macabre duel to keep it single figures, Burton just dug in on the 18 yard line. Never seen that before.

Absolutely disgraceful this. Pep trying to slow down Burton’s quick passing at half time last night.

Shocking for a semi tbh

Did you go ?

Talkshite mentioned we should have taken our foot off the gas to spare Burton's blushes... PMSL

We did!

Second leg completely out of sight which is a good thing to rest our players. Could you imagine if a team in red would have done what we did last night? The press would be calling it the second coming of Busby.

The creative midfield births look frightening now who do you pick and who do you drop out of Bernardo, Spanish Dave and Kdb? Barring injuries we can keep them all fresh for the fast approaching business end of the season.

I bet Burton wish we weren’t really here...! No need to dust down the Wembley outfit, it doesn’t gather dust these days ....!

What was the attendenace tonight? Looks bad on tv

The nine goals didn’t

 

[The perfect fumble]

Pep has taken the criticism on board and will be fielding a slightly different set up for the return leg....
