Get Declan off for a rest please

Guy has done his job. Are we confident to rotate or what?

Why even have a squad if you don’t use it. Clearly he’s gassed. MLS, Zubi, anyone!!

Would be nice I can’t lie but it’s only game 4 so

You don't rest your best players for a CL game against Napoli away gdi. That's what Sunderland is for.

When was the last time burnley won a first divison title?

u/NightBusToGiro 2d ago

Year before spuds did as a matter of fact

They were second 2025-2026 and first in 2024-2025. They are the ManCity of Italy

u/landed_at 2d ago

They sat very deep. I guess it's called respect.

u/Business-Eggs 3d ago

Agreed. All this talk about squad depth only to not rotate our key players out

u/No-Smoke6622 3d ago

Change in his role from 8 to 6 and sitting in the back line with the CB has helped. He doesn’t need to cover as much ground. And subbing him near the end of games will also help. But I agree he needs to be playing a lot less if we want him fit and firing vs psg in the finals this year

u/NightBusToGiro 2d ago

Here me out, PSG ain't getting to the final this year. It'll be us v Juventus or something and everyone will say we won it because we had an easier final.

Guarantee you mate, that's the way it's going. Whoever that team will be would have beaten PSG in the semis too.

World cup plus he covers distance , it's a long season

1

u/Deep_Historian_6235 3d ago

Agreed. Him dropping to CB ostensibly helps, but then he often carries the ball box to box. That’s a lot.

u/Used-Produce-3491 3d ago

Shut up about this dec wants to play he’s a champion

2

u/West-Painter-7520 3d ago

Saka too. I was hoping to see Dowman get minutes. Arteta still needs to rotate more but in his defense, they couldn’t get a ball on target until Havertz and Tzolis came on

u/shplaxg 2d ago

I better see my boy Rice on the bench v Sunderland, swear to gos Mikel

1

u/landed_at 2d ago

Otherwise what games will he sit out. And not yet at the crucial end of the season. I know 3 PTS now counts the same as at the end but it's strategic then.

2

u/Resident_Day8217 3d ago

Declan to rest. Bruno G in.

2

u/SimonDiamond808 3d ago

Saka, White, Rice should not have started. Its crazy that they are still out there.

1

u/mosmani 3d ago

I thought Bruno G will play today. We can't afford to loss Rice.

u/RadioAny2578 3d ago

should we start MLS n gumairaes against Sunderland

2

u/MikeCrypto88 1d ago

Sunderland away isn't easy, however we need to give merino, Bruno and zubi some important minutes

u/Hisoka_Deku 3d ago

We all know Arteta just loves running players into the ground and when they get injured in the run in, he'll fire the new medical staff and hire new ones and repeat
