There was no extra time, and there is no way a Dyche team will be tired after just one game. 1

I guess having the most tackles and interceptions in the league for the past few seasons just isn't up to scratch. He is a great tackler and great defensively. I think he has potential to be better offensively, and he was improving a lot this season until his injury in January, but he has regressed a bit since coming back. Please see my post here: Explains my thoughts better. Cheers. 1

As has been noted, Dyche has been grumbling for a while; the negativity didn't affect performances at back end of last season, but I don't want to see the team's spirit tested by a bad start. Still, Southampton at home next week, so there's a chance. But if you could lie down and let us in ... We used to have a very good record at the crisp packet. Shame you changed its name ...

Guest Danny Clender Posted 18 September 2020 Posted 18 September 2020 The 2nd Pre-Actual season friendly. So true though how people look at the omens for these games, superstitious lot football fans. If you're feeling anxious because we're "on the telly" " BOIL MY CATS, IT's ON PROPER TELLY", please find a deep enough pond to duck yourself in. It does look like a good time to be playing Burnley though, so hopefully they've not yet found their magic. I don't want to see Maddison shoehorned in, so as much as his energy and positive vibe put a smile on my face when he came on last week, I'd be happy to see us start the same line-up as last week. I mean, what if Praet is dropped and then he starts bad mouthing BR to Castagne and then he doesn't play well and wants to leave and then Tielemans decides the same...oh good grief...you'll find me in the the Iron Maiden.
Popular Post filbertway Posted 18 September 2020 Popular Post Posted 18 September 2020 Burnley can afford to lose 11 players because the only requirement to be a Burnley player is be 6"2+ and to be able to kick and head a ball. Easy to have good depth in your squad when all the players are cave men. 5

Imo out of the three games Wilf will have to play CB, there aren't any "marginal" games that will be swung by the fact he's playing out of position. Evans is eligible for the Man City game
StanSP Posted 18 September 2020 Posted 18 September 2020 From Lawro's predictions Leicester v Burnley (19:00 BST) Leicester looked good last week and this is a tough way to start the Premier League season for Burnley, who have not made any significant signings so far this summer. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Raye's prediction: I love the Jamie Vardy story - to go from playing in non-league to winning the Premier League is amazing really. The whole thing about how Leicester won the title in 2016 is just so special too. I'm going to back them here, but Burnley don't concede many goals, do they? 1-0

That's intriguing because most of us think after Under and Fofana / Tah / Takowski we will be done for the window, but that suggests we might possibly sneak in someone else. It should also put a lot of fans fears to rest when he says things like: We need a different type of attacking player. Having watched him, he’s clearly a talented player. We have pace and power at the top end, but we also need some more football in there. Ways to deal with organised defences. We need someone who can beat someone in a one-v-one, play the right pass, we need someone who can break down defences who are organised, when it’s tight. That’s the profile we’re looking at. We all hate "side-to-side" football that we've seen since Puel took over, but the manager doesn't want us to play that way. The problem is we only ever have two or three players on the pitch at any one time who have the guile to break down an organised defence; two of Maddison / TIelemans / Praet and Ricardo. With more attack minded players we will get better at breaking teams down. For me one thing that always excites me about having Brendan as manager is that he's proven at several teams that he can fix their attack over time and if anything it's been the defence where he's struggled. But we already have Kasper, Soyuncu, Ricardo, Evans and Ndidi. We've already got a really solid base to build upon! Back Rodgers with the right players and he will have us sizzling up top - we've already seen plenty of evidence based on last season's best displays. Hopefully Under is the real deal, and who knows, maybe we will cheekily bring in someone else in on transfer deadline day too. Stranger things have happened. 5

It's horses for courses and this is one game where more height will be most important. Timmy, Wes, Cags and Jimmy are all 6 foot plus which is just what you need to defend v Burnley. 2
shailen Posted 18 September 2020 Posted 18 September 2020 Need Madders and Tielemans to create, Castagne and Justin to provide the width as they will sit deep and not give us any space so we will need to break them down. West Brom sat back last week but they defended terribly and Burnley won't be as bad. Always worry going into these types of games.
majaco Posted 18 September 2020 Posted 18 September 2020 We are short of centre backs. We lack depth. We haven't made enough signings. We are woefully lot of form. One week on, people nothing has changed and people seem reasonably confident. Funny game football.

Knowing we have Timmy and Jimmy at the back makes me wanna edit these two into Leicester kits.
