Burton (h) pre-match thread

[Dr Jacoby]

I expected a strong line-up but I thought Foden and Danilo would start.

Hopefully Garcia can impress again.

Don't disagree with the main man often but piss poor tonight not giving Foden another game. He won't even be making the bench soon in league games with all the other midfielders fit.

Calm down,he's here for 6 more years

I don't know how many times that needs saying

Maybe once more if you see the post below yours :)

Why is it piss poor?

I hope he's not in the studio, likes a sly dig at the club since jr left.

I'm sure Andy wouldn't be like that now.. even so, I think he'd be a good choice solely due to his son.

Ha,it's beyond tedious,phil is happy enough with the plan for him to sign a 6 yr deal,we should be happy he is happy with things

Baffling decision not to play Foden and equally baffling to play Silva, he wasn't injured for long so doesn't really need games for match sharpness, an unnecessary risk. Can only think he presumes Burton will play with 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes and wants to put the tie beyond all doubt now so he isn't forced to play some key players in the second leg. Understandable if so but still think that's achievable with Foden starting instead of silva. Other than that, the teams as expected.

Pep is aiming for treble :) Good strong line up.

I think he'll play a strong side in the Champions League, too ;-)
