Match Thread Burnley v Leicester

[Graz]

Let's face it, that team can beat Burnley - we just need our key players to turn up.

Having Nacho in the box to aim for could help Ricardo and Castagne.

 

[Brown Nose]

7 of our 11 started in the 4-2 win over Burnley earlier in the season.

Ricardo, Choudhury, Iheanacho and Amartey in for Justin, Barnes, Perez and Praet.

Not an especially weaker line up is it?

 

[City Fan]

Problem is that I don't think Brendan trusts Amartey as a CB in a back 4 - and you wouldn't pick Ndidi there either.

I’d rather go Amartey in a back 4 and not weaken our midfield. We’re playing Burnley after all, breaking them down will be difficult enough.

Well, yes, yes it is - four players weaker

Plus Vardy looks ****ed - so in reality five

 

[Jeff]

Apparently Ashley Barnes is out for us.

Well, we can certainly do that at any point in the game without sacrificing a sub.

It just keeps on coming. I blame Rodgers. ****.

 

[Miles Away]

If something happens to Youri I'm going to cry.

 

[fitz]

My confidence has gone now I've seen the absolutely ****ing hopeless Otter is up front for them.

 

[homer]

Not surprising, really - we’ve flogged him to death and his second serve is dreadful

 

[mabrah]

I didn't expect Ndidi at CB. I thought BR has said he's learned not to play players out of position. To me, Fuchs coming in there would have meant we we're closer to our 'usual' set up. Also, it looks like we're asking Youri to be our creative midfielder when it's both not his role and he's near out on his feet. Needs must I guess but I am surprised.

Btw, I thought the game was at 8 and I was undecided as to whether I'd watch. For some weird and wonderful reason, I seem to be happier to watch it at the earlier kickoff time... maybe because if it's shit, I can watch something after to change my mood before going to bed

Dangerous partnership with Tarka-owski.

Just out of interest, what has Rodgers **** ever done to you?

 

[mabrah]

Should there a comma in there? Not being a grammar Nazi, just want to know of any anatomical anomalies.

 

[popillius]

Oh for **** sake, he's off again....

 

[popillius]

It bites.

I'm honestly not sure he definitely is at CB or will stay there.

Don’t worry, I’m already out of otter puns.

I’m not the man with the golden pun you know.

 

[fitz]

I think I started that way back when...

Would you prefer some of my Chriss Woods bantss?

 

[Micky]

It's a 4 at the back. Kolo is warming up the defence and Ndidi is warming up with the midfielders.
