***Burnley v City Official Match Thread***

[patrickblue]

Seeing everyone seems wary about starting one in case they jinx it, I'll stick my head above the parapet.

I'm going for a nervy 2-0, a reasonably early goal, then a succession of missed chances till we put it to bed late on.

This season feels like the 18/19 season where its hard to enjoy games as we just need the W.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Craig Pawson is the ref, anyone know how we get on with him?

He is employed by Pigmol. Ergo we will be shat on

That sums it up i guess

This will only be his 4th match in 3 seasons (2nd this season).

18/20 5-0 over Norwich Cancello Yellow
20/21 1-1 murdering scouse, Walker Laporte Sterling yellows
21/22 1-0 over Chelsea 2 cards for them

Seems to get a lot of rags and murderers games and uefa cup or whatever its called now but not chumps league that I noticed.

Still no joans on the main joan provider ffs

[CTID Hants]

XI | Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (C), Sterling, Foden, Grealish

SUBS | Steffen, Stones, Jesus, Zinchenko, Bernardo, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Egan-Riley, Mbete

[blues2win]

Two left footers in Ake and Laporte. Stones deemed not fit for 90 presumably. Gundogan preferred to Bernardo who played both international matches. Mahrez in reserve.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Think Burnley will set up 4-5-1 defend deep hoof long ball up to Weghorst, Ake not bad dealing with high ball, anyway come on City

[Mase]

Our best player this season, Mahrez, on the bench

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[FA cup winners 2006]

That lineup just screams that all our focus is on the CL.

[Harry Dowd scored]

BT Sport seem to be celebrating league title for dippers, the quadruple is on apparently

Indeed.

Very strange post that

Ake and Sterling starting. Mahrez and Bernardo on the bench

[Beefymcfc]

Did anybody look up Burnley’s record against us, it’s abysmal!

They haven’t yet beat a Pep team, only taking a single draw from 14 games. I thought I’d go back further and they’ve only beat us 4 times since I was born, some 32 games in total, and 3 of them were in the first 2 years of that period.

Watch us go and fuck it up!

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

Ake and Sterling starting. Mahrez and Bernardo on the bench

Bernie played 2 full games for Portugal and Mahrez played 120 minutes midweek. Understandable why they are not starting.
