This site is going to be an nightmare WHEN we don't win, even more than normal. I don't care how we do it, we need to win to keep me sane tonight. 

I’ve changed it for you. We had a tough time winning before the line up, now we have 0 chance of winning. Brendan has set up a line up to not lose so it’ll be 0-0 0-1 0-2 depending how Burnley play. Well done Brendan 🙌

I wish he'd take a risk from the start. What is the point of waiting until 60 minutes to bring on Tavares or Under when Burnley are then going to move into 'shut up shop' mode and drop even deeper than they were in the first hour. 

 

We all know how this is going to go, and it's not going to be pretty viewing.

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

Very true! It makes me feel better though 

[whoareyaaa]

a miserable day just got worse  

 

should be enough to win it though hopefully they have a good game can't see it though with that setup

[oxtonfox]

Blimey that line up is as narrow as pin-stripes on a suit. Will we get outside of the width of the penalty box? I am surprised he didnt chuck in Daley-Campbell and Sidnei T. to provide some energy and movement. 

Not confident with this - it's like Rodgers is shrugging and saying "what do you expect?" to the board. 

Have some courage man - play the youngsters and rest our valuable assets.  

Burnley are smelling blood I guess.

Sky Sports Main Event.

Should see a lot of cancelled subscriptions then. Going to be a terrible game of little entertainment. Must be a house makeover programme on to watch instead.

We need some 1-0 shithouse wins whilst we wait for players to come back. Where is Ulloa now?

The worry I have, is that that line up, despite being enforced is going to make this a tight slog of a game, and that's exactly what Burnley will want. Open games suit us as we usually have the quality to punish teams. Tight games are Burnley's dream. We need an early goal I think.

What would you do differently?

Nah, we'll piss it.

A shithouse 1-0 win for us would be delightful.

Yeah Hamza corner, Amartey shins it and it goes in off Iheanacho's arse.

 

Beautiful!

[Fox92]

Not sure what else he can do. At least we've (hopefully) got 2 up front and Vardy has been isolated since Villa 2nd half.

 

Just a shame we can't dip into the reserves and pick a few players out.

Mendy master class coming today, ain’t that right @deanolegend1989

A master class at losing games. Lucky tonight he’s just one of many problems so it’ll be everyone but his fault tonight when we lose..

[FoxesWalk]

89th minute Vardy dive for a pen that controversially isn’t checked by VAR, panenka finish from Tavares from the spot. 0-1. Dyche to turn red in the post match presser whilst ranting about how many pound notes our squad costs vs. His. 

[matty98]

Just can't see how we're going to create anything, Ricardo and Castagne need to be on top form today.

[foxinsocks]

Who is the ref?

[Lesterlad]

That’s an exciting line up 🤬

[Dan]

I'd actually sooner have played Morgan than taken Ndidi from midfield.

[steveherbe]

Haha, you lot almost got me there, then I realised this must be a FIFA20 simulation selection. I mean, who'd pick that back three? Also realised it must be an 8pm kick off, so the real team isn't out yet. You guys, honestly, such jokers, see you around 8 for the kick off........

[fuchsntf]

Congrats..!!! Worst supporting group of fans ,on First 6-7 pages of a Match thread

I have ever seen.....!!!!

[LCFCJ]

Anyone coming for Rodgers later if we don't get a result can seriously suck my balls. There is literally nothing else he can do. He has done the right thing in setting us up to get at least a point. Any Brendan slander can do one

2 strikers but will they get any service? We know Burnley are a strong physical side with Chris Wood up there and with no little pace or creativity I'm worried. However pleased to see Mendy back and cannot say there are any glaring omissions given the state of the injury list

 

[Aesc]

3-0 win: 2 goals from set pieces and a Hamza 20 yard rocket.
