Mancy City versus Mighty Clarets

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 1:15 pm

Football returns and a decent chance of 3 points and a Defour return. Time will tell.

Madge is well groomed and up for the challenge. Let's get fired up for our heroes.

Come on you Clarets

Good afternoon fella Clarets something positive to start with lets try and bring some optimism to the table
The Clarets have beaten the reigning champions in each of their four previous Premier League campaigns. No side has a better win rate against the reigning champions than Burnley, with only Bournemouth and Manchester United matching their figure of 50%.

5 across midfield as expected.

No width on the bench but we are good enough to win.
A penalty for us would help.
3 in midfield will take some pressure off D4 on his return.

I like the team. Great to see Defour back. One up front a necessity away to City, and good to see Hendrick back.

Come On You Clarets

I'd take another 3-3!

Is it Hendrick or Westwood starting?
I have seen both players mentioned as in our starting 11

Almost. Once Brady makes the bench it will be all systems go.

Afternoon from a ridiculously mild day in Derry, hoping we can get something out of this game, great to see Defour back.UTC

Dangerous play that from Kompany, seen reds for those.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 3:04 pm

Vokesy heads over. Decent chance..

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 3:05 pm

Aguerro heads wide from clear chance.

Kompany very nasty. Red all day long.

rarely given to a club like City at home after 30 seconds - but should have been

Exactly what I was thinking. I guess we can now target him for a second yellow - depends on the referee though. Kompany will be able to kick us in the air every 5 minutes with some refs.

Cork booked
