Mancy City versus Mighty Clarets FA Cup R3

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 1:38 pm

Afternoon all. Big match for the Mancy's today. They will see this as a test of how far they have come and attempt to match our Mighty Heroes for effort.

Nonetheless, if we keep our heads and work hard, we shall overcome.

Madge is on her way by bus and tram, having broken out of HolyCustard's cupboard under the stairs.

Let's show them who are the big team here!
Up the Clarets!

The Hindu Times is all Burnley!

Hm, whatever....

I guess we'll soon see if Dyche indeed has a masterplan or is just going to roll with it and focus on the league...

stronger side than expected.

Surprised to see Cork start.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:05 pm

Madge arrived and changed.
Ready to fire us up, now we have the team news.
Long for Tarkowski, Westwood for Defour and Vokes replaces Arfield.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:06 pm

Pope
Tayor Mee Long Lowton
Barnes Westwood Cork JBG
Hendrick
Vokes

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:06 pm

Even stronger team for City. Pep must be scared of us

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:07 pm

Really strange line up that is from us.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:07 pm

City
Bravo, Danilo, Otamendi, Stones, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, D Silva (c), Sane, Sterling, Aguero

SUBS | Ederson, Walker, Mangala, De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, Bernardo, Diaz

Pretty ******* strong !

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:09 pm

Always a chance with Bravo in goal!

City have a job to pick a weaker team!

I think hendrick will play deeper than Barnes.

No Centre back on bench. .I.e Tarkowski. On the move?

Signing a new contract has no bearing on staying, should an offer come in. Could well be that we are saving him from being cuptied, or he would, for sure be on the bench.

So where is he then?

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:35 pm

Yes. Manchester lad too. Would want to be there!

Resting his broken hand for a tie of zero relevance to our seasons objectives?

I was thinking the same with Barnes being more of a inside forward rather than LM.. Might let Charlie Taylor bomb down on the overlap... We'll see.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:36 pm

City not taking any chances with that line up. Pep wanting to do the quadruple.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:45 pm

Really surprised at our team selection tbh, hope it doesn't come back to bite us

Afternoon from a sunny but cold day in Derry, fairly relaxed about this game, que sera sera as our Spanish exiles would say.UTC

Must be it.

He had all of christmas off. Sean could have given Ben the day off.

I'd be amazed to see Lowton left back and Taylor right.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:52 pm

I was hoping to see Walters or Wells with Vokes today

I have a feeling Ben would have really pushed to play this game for some reason

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 06, 2018 2:57 pm

maybe City should give 7600 tickets to all away teams - Emptihad looks reasonably full for a change

Theyre probably figuring they've got the league sewn up so going for the double.

Report in the print edition of The Times, Friday (bit not on on-line). My summary:

Tarks signs new contract, doubling pay to £30,000 per week. Dyche can't guarantee that this means Tarks will remain - other clubs can always pay more - interest shown by Chelsea and Arsenal.

Let's hope that he's had a reaction in his hand after L'pool game - and he will be back in the team at Crystal Palace...and the rest of the season... and many other seasons....

Burnley break but Fernandinho intervened.

6 gone and Burnley fans alive and well in their Lancashire home.
Almost a great ball by Westwood for Gudmundsson.

Rash challenge by Taylor, on edge of box. Fk city

Taylor blocks for corner.

Good defending under pressure. Taylor aimless clearance just adds pressure
