Is it? You really thought Ndidi, Mendy and Hamza would be starting? 

I did, as bad as it sounds I think Rodgers is just trying to freshen it up and hope we get an ugly win 

 

He obviously doesn’t trust Under, Albrighton has been very poor recently, so yes I did half expect it.

[Legend_in_blue]

Is it fair to say that 8 out of the starting 11 are defensive minded players first and foremost?  Against Burnley?  Under must be wondering what he's got to do to get in the starting 11!

[Dahnsouff]

This gonna be fun.

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

Huh? The Morgan that's not fit, has a back injury and hasn't played in several months? 

[Fightforever]

0-0 or shithouse 1-0 loss from a set piece

Didn't realise he was still out. But to answer your question, still yes.

[StanSP]

13/5 for Wood to score any time on Skybet...

Re point 2. Ricardo just ain’t fit yet, hence why you ain’t seeing the explosive pace and tricks.
 

Think you’ve forgotten how he’s played before injury. 
 

Have to agree though I’d rather see him playing in his best position long-term but he’s our best option on the right at the minute. 

It's only opinion I suppose. He's been tried before this season on the right wing and I just think he looks a bit lost and contributes little there. I think he's any absolute star in his correct position though.

Ffs. We lose to teams when myself or @urban.spaceman don't start march threads. When will you all learn?!

 

Yeah - sorry ......

[fazzyfox]

Hopefully the 3 CB's will give Ricardo & Castagne more license to get forward. In the last 2 1/2 games our full backs barely crossed the half way line. If they do, this can work. I trust in them I'm just concerned at the energy levels they have, a sharp version of this line up can get a result here but how sharp will they be?

I feel he's set us up to be solid and competitive. We still have more quality in our side. Hopefully Vards or Tielemans can grab something.

What else is BR supposed to do then? 

Not put Mendy and hamza in the same team for a start 

[LCFCJ]

I don't think I've ever been confident about us beating Burnley. I think thats come from the shithouse results they got against us in the championship.

[volpeazzurro]

Well, despite injuries, what a dreary defensive set up tonight. Same old same old dull defensive first half beckons, no flair or ambition. The back 4 even with Armarty are as good as anyone else is putting out at the moment. Ricardo and Castagne are both competent defenders so why not have Albrighton and Under in front of them or ... do we have to wait and go 2 goals down then panic and throw everyone on in the last 15 minutes?

 

This is Burnley we're playing, not Manchester City. 

[weller54]

Hideous..

Just fvcking hideous.

... Not sure I want to watch, as there's only one outcome.😢

Poor Papy. Cue the 30 yard screamer that he’s gonna dedicate to yourself 

If I got 1,000,000/1p I wouldn’t waste my 1 penny.

What would you do differently?

I wouldn’t play BOTH Hamza and Papy. I also wouldn’t put Ndidi at CB and Tielemens in the hole, both proven to be square pegs in round holes.

 

Kasper

Castange Soyuncu Amarty Ricardo

         Ndidi Tielemens Hamza

Under                             Albrighton

                 Nacho

  

Good balance, keeps our best players in the best position and gives us a chance to score.

We also rest Vardy for Brighton. He’s playing too much, he’s looking poor because he’s over played. Running people into the ground doesn’t work.

I think he’s got it all wrong and we are literally hoping for 0-0 at best. I can see the injuries but he’s bottled it because arsenal beat us.

Burnley arnt arsenal, Burnley offer not as much threat. Being THAT defensive is playing into there hands.

When we lose tonight, you’ll get people saying ‘but it’s not his fault’ ‘but we have injuries’ he’s a messiah regardless what happens.

For anyone who doesn't want to watch or has decided they won't, can you actually follow through with your words so we don't have to see your constant moaning about any small thing that might not be perfect during the game please

Exacttly, he'd still rather play him

 

Did the presenter call Harvey Barnes Ashley Barnes?

[Wonders if selection is going to be a bit funky, given our very well-documented injury problems]

Andy Cole says he doesn’t think Brendan wants to miss out on the Champions League this season. Oh the insight.

 

How much do they pay these idiots?
