Koke 7,586 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 Burnley have lost their last 4 league games. We know what that means... That huge 15 point cushion we have built up is coming in handy atm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheF1Bob 109 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 (edited) Not looking forward to this at all. Will win 5-1. Edited 11 January 2020 by TheF1Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lgfualol 10,237 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 (edited) Lost their last 4 games you say? They'll pop Wood up top and scrape a point or win Schmiechel Rick Evans Soy Fuchs/Justin Mendy Tiele Praet Madderz Vardy Nacho Get Ch1lL3rZ out the firing line a bit. Play Nacho as he is ****ing well good. Edited 11 January 2020 by lgfualol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RowlattsFox 2,474 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 Even with their form, it's not a game I'm looking forward too. Got Barnes winning a penalty off Soyuncu allover it. 3 at the back didn't work against Villa but I think he might be tempted again, without Ndidi we need to protect the defence and he may feel he needs 3. Needs to be Benkovic rather than Fuchs though. With Fuchs at wing back, hope Chilwell regains some form but he needs a spell out the side. Would play Tielemans instead of Maddison too, and Iheanacho and Vardy together. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kopfkino 4,250 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 (edited) We'll be fine, these have been so poor since they beat West Ham, even the 3-0 against Watford was a bit fortunate. We're miles better away and have the week off so should be ok. More worried about West Ham although also think this could be a wake up call to go on a bit of a run again.

Blue-fox 380 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 These will bully us. Especially without wilf. Can’t be playing Pérez and Barnes here. To be honest I’d throw mendy and hamza in the middle with one of Maddison or Youri. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sdb 2,738 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 They'll aim to bully us. And I fear they'll succeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StriderHiryu 17,558 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 Big game now, I think we need a response from the team, we have looked short of gas for a while now. Not sure what team we should play to be honest. Chilwell should be benched for a bit IMO and Fuchs brought in. Maybe playing 352 is not the worst given Burnley's direct style? Nacho looked good again when he came on, though Perez was decent today also. We were lucky to beat Burnley at the KP earlier in the season, so I expect a very tough game here.

Popular Post twister 644 Posted 11 January 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 My line up would be full of experience at Burnley who will look to press and bully so Kasper Ricardo Cags Evans Fuchs Albrighton Youri Hamza Gray Vardy Nacho pick the players fresh and in form and frankly Maddison, Barnes, and Chilwell are out of form and tired and need time on the training group too work on a few things. next two games are huge cause the finish to the season is very very difficult so team need points now. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ithuriel 1,093 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 If this was a home game, I'd be worried, we are pants at home presently. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silva Fox 758 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 The next 8 days are as critical to our season as any match day. So many players "out of form" I really hope fatigue is the main cause and BR and his staff manage the break effectively to get the right combination of rest, recuperation, tactical re-focus and morale restoring. This will be a big test of his management ability. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't really see Fuchs playing as a wing back with nobody in front of him. Not sure he has the legs for it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lestajigs 1,068 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 Were both poor at the minute, either 0.0 or 1.0 home win Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spicer 236 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 Kasper Soyuncu Evans Benkovic Ricardo Tielemans Choudary Justin Maddison Nacho Vardy Subs: Ward, Chillwell, Fuchs, Mendy, Praet, Gray, Perez I think we need two holding midfielders to give some solidarity that we lack with a solo holding mildfielder that isn't Ndidi. Tielemens usually plays deeper for Belgium so Mendy or Choudary along side him makes sense. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't think you can play Chilwell after today's horror show. We could of course just play 4141 and do a straight swap, which I also wouldn't be against. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingfox 4,901 Posted 11 January 2020 Report Share Posted 11 January 2020 NO WINGERS. But if Brendan decides to go that way, then I hope he plays Albrighton and Iheanacho instead of Perez and Barnes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He clearly needs it because he is definitely better than this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
