Burton (First Leg) Post Match Thread

Was thinking about this earlier, any chance Pep selects Grimshaw for the second leg?

So did our kid he had £5 on 10-0 at 150/1

Would have bought quite a lot of baby spice.

Well done to the Blues that turned up.We would have killed for that 10 years ago.

Most dissapointed I have ever been on a City crowd.

Great match last night although the grass played a major part in the result as did the wind for Zinczenko's goal. I felt a bit sorry for the groundsman who went to all the trouble of making the goal line extra thick only to find he had wasted his time.

I don't think that the team will be much different to last night's. Think that Pep will give the home crowd the chance to see a very strong City.

Great words by Cloughie.

Quite a few of the players were wide-eyed at half-time,” Clough admitted. “They had seen it on television, but they could not believe it first-hand. They said some of their lads did not even seem to be running, but were gliding around the pitch.”

I said that about Mahrez a while back ,theres that little movement compared with how most people run, he appears to glide

Maybe for some players like Jesus, Gundogan, Danilo, etc. who don't have many of our top prospects in their positions. But why would we risk any of our top players with a 9-0 lead? Would be inexcusable if one of them picked up an injury.

I only brought up Grimshaw in particular because he's third choice and remained third choice even after our backup became injured. It's a chance to get him his first (and likely only) appearance ever for the club. I don't think there's a big enough difference between his level and Muric's that I'd be worried about surrendering a nine goal lead...
