Burnley (H).. Up next.. Thoughts?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Although the match tonight was probably knackering, having an extra day before the game compared to Burnley might be an advantage.

 

This will be a tough game, they are pretty resilient on the road this season. Another win and the table will be looking pretty healthy.

 

Can see Gray coming back in from the start.

They will park the bus and lump it forward.  

 

Strangely, I think this works better against high quality possession-based teams (I’m not deluding myself that we fit that description), but have hope it won’t work against us.

This will be a tough match, but in my opinion very important for our season. 

 

If we are serious about being a top half side, we have to beat sides like this at home, it’s the difference between top half sides and those in the bottom.

Don't know why, but I think we'll in some ways thrash these (no matter how deep they go, can see us finding holes and effectively use them).

Very true. Puel needs to address that if he is to succeed where the (recent) others failed because that is one area where we were throwing away points under Ranieri and Shakes - against the likes of Burnley last season and Bournemouth, etc...

These cloggers are due a battering from us. But I predict 0-0 with us having 65% possession and afterwards Dyche mentioning what our netspend is.

Burnley have been brilliant this season. A lot of credit must go to Dyche who was once derided on these forums (including by me) in the Championship days but who has done a fantastic job on limited resources. They are where they are in the league because they deserve to be there.

 

But I think we will do them 3-1. I wouldn't be as optimistic under Shakespeare, but Puel has us playing football. They will sit back and make it difficult, but we will actually knock it about and make good openings. And our two best finishers just decided to get into goal scoring form at the right time! This is why I feel we made the managerial change, to give us an extra dimension for exactly this type of game. Lets see if we are good enough to do it!

 

Also I look forward to giving Chris Wood some applause on his return. Maybe not as influential as Knocky for us, but he played a part and was unlucky not to have more of a run when we first got promoted.

Wasn't last year's 3-0 win good enough? :D

Honestly completely forgot about that. It was Slimani's debut as well. :D
