Tactical masterclass from Brodge

Vardy prove the doubters wrong lad.

[Suzie the Fox]

Sorry @StanSP and @urban.spaceman but I'd been privately told the side a couple of hours ago so thought I'd prepare the thread. Apologies for treading on toes 

Come on just admit you're Sean.

[Happy Fox]

That team should be good enough to beat Burnley

Burnley squad 

 

Burnley Starting XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Brownhill, Wood, Vydra 

Vydra not scored for 27 league games 

[BKLFox]

Have those that are whinging about the lineup got some players stashed away somewhere?

[ktfox59]

Tbh, i cant understand whst people are moaning abouy with team selection. Atm best we can put out. The shspe idnt as baf as people make out. Under not stsrting ssys all we neef to know about how bad he is. But anywsy  dont blame brendan. Grt behind him and the squad

[kingfox]

There’s always Home and Away on Channel 5 at 6pm.

[ALC Fox]

TRIPLE PIVOT ALERT!

 

 

 

 

Obviously Hamza's going to be a rampaging number 8. I'm guessing a diamond with either Ndidi or Mendy on the other side. Which side and which player I've no idea.

Already pre-booked for a weekend in the safe-house. 

[StanSP]

Great to see Little Wes back in the squad 

[KrefelderFox666]

That team on paper sounds awful. Going for the 0-0. However, what do I know. Rodgers will know what he is doing. 4 CM's?

Half this place want Under to start ahead of Vardy nowadays because he got outpaced when clearly injured, and Under looked ok vs a 17 year old Brentford LB, the other half play FM and therefore want the 17 year olds on the bench starting

 

The reality is, its really not that bad 

 

Nobody looks from the other perspective

 

If I was a  Burnley fan, and hearing we'd basically lost half of our best players, I'd be gutted to see so many familiar names in there 

[fazzyfox]

I think Albrighton instead of Mendy with a bit of a re-shape would work for me, Choudhury will be useful for his physicality, Mendy got shoved off the pitch v Leeds. Maybe he'll provide the energy but please Mendy LOOK FORWARDS!

Well he played there against Wood at CB in the home game and we won 4-1

Thats the night he got injured as well

[Farrington fox]

Oh dear, this will only go one way.

Just so little creativity. Sadly expected but doesn't change it.

 

I think this ends 0-0.

Given the injuries and decimation - and the fact that would bring up the 50 points and stop a losing run - I think I would take that.

Just now, Tuna said:

Vydra not scored for 27 league games 

Now I'm worried 

[mikey54]

Quite happy with that

[Hales]

Come on lads, a gritty scrap and get them 3 points. They can do it!

In this case I think it's more so we can get Ricardo/Castagne further forward and have 2 strikers. Clearly doesn't want Under and Albrighton has wing options.

IMHO you should just play your best players in their best positions and try to fill in around them as best you can.

The classic cliche that means absolutely nothing but makes you feel better pre game when you say it before the reality.

I just don’t understand why Albrighton and Ünder aren’t playing. No width. 4-2-2-2? Ah well, in Brendan I trust.

Well one is out of form and the other isn't any good.

Horrendous lineup 

What else is BR supposed to do then?
