It's the perfect storm for our lot. Would genuinely take a draw, especially if Hoijland was to bag.

0-2 to the reds

From a neutral perspective maguire deserves to start.
It how you run a squad. If the current options aren’t doing well, replacements have to be brought in.

Other wise it would be called favouritism which is what…… is being accused…

Maguire in with Martinez in midfield? Crazier things have worked.

Not sure I could stomach watching Maguire lumber around for 90 minute

I’m not sure anyone will think favouritism will be the main motive for not picking Maguire tbh.

Weren't Maguire's last 2 appearances an absolute embarrassment for his Country and included an Own Goal? Yeah, deffo deserves a spot.

Genuinely can’t remember Maguire playing well for more than 20-odd minutes in the last 2 years. He’s finished at United and everyone knows it.

Lindelof is a liability but a better fit for the gameplan.

To be remembered that this isn't the Burnley who lump it towards a striker and work on second balls. They're City-extremely lite . All passing and combinations and movement, the absolute worst thing for Maguire to face.

Probably the worst post I’ve ever seen on this forum.

Turns out managers can’t even pick players they want to now. Not allowed to give time to implement a style of play.

Why have a manager at all? Just stick an AI on, judge it on “field tilts” and other £#%&!er stats and have the AI pick the starting squad

Or of course just ask ancelotti nicely , I’m sure he would

Hojlund to bag a brace

Unfortunately the loud and clueless element of our support are well on their way to hounding Erik out, or at least the campaign has started in earnest. They want instant success and it has to be one as some sort of facsimilie of what Pep does or it doesn't count, and no reasoning for anything less will be tolerated. End of. Just a matter of time now, the players have got wind that the fans() are wavering and are looking to twist the knife, just as they did with Ole. They'll get him binned and then we can emply de Zerbi and start the whole process again and find out it was Potter that was the actual brains behind him.

The loud and stupid majority always get their way eventually.

Fortunately, none of those will be amongst our travelling support today.

You’re describing Twitter and insta ugandan reds.

I’m in the Burnley end. I hope they don’t gang up on me

Oh I know who I'm describing. Their influence is finding it's way into the proper supporters though.
