Burnley Pre Match. Sat 25th September @ King Power 3pm

[baldeagle]

Absolutely hate Dyche, his anti football and constant crying about money and how it’s so not fair . Jog on back to the Championship with your hoof ball and dirty tactics as it makes my eyes bleed. 

[Ric Flair]

Vestergaard vs Wood bothers me, I hope it'll be Soyuncu and Evans.

You’d rather have Soy marking Wood over Vestergaard? Strange. Vesty will be my first choice if anything. I don’t think Soy is physical enough to contamstly battle with Wood for 90 mins. He’ll struggle.

This but castagne at LB

[Sampson]

Surely Maddison has to be dropped and Iheanacho has to start this one. Surely?

I Agree except Castange at lb is the 1 difference to our best team currently imo.

 

Fofana and Justin in with Riccy and Evans would be our best 11 when everyone fit with maybe Daka over Vardy in a year or so.

You know it'll be Perez and Maddison, seriously.  How can anyone possibly have any doubt?

Guys... If you really think that Perez and Maddison are NOT going to start this game... You're lying to yourself. Ofvourse they are. 100%.

 

Dreading this game. Its going to be horrendous to watch. A team who have panic attacks when dressing the half way line vs a team who struggle to break teams down.

Basically I agree with This Choice of players...One exception..

I am more than Happy we have him,a Great addition, through the whole season he will get his fair share of important games....

But IMO Bertrand is that excellent cover/Rotation / off-form ( right Player for some games/change of tactics) for the Bline & (WB)

when all fit Thomas, Castagna,Justin are my preferences,Thomas is already PL-level & improving/maturing over every set of games.

 

CBs, at least One if Not 2 of our Top Candidates It seems will always be struggling until this  EOS,so to me Bertrand should be at least always on the

Bench. In Losing at present Fofana,Justin*,Evans to injury doubts, Soyuncu indifferent form, Vestergaard still Finding his way, Amartey's Early season form

as been one of this early-part-of-the-season's positives.I

 

With our Bline's last few months misfortunes it is not beyond the Realms of reality, that we could

see a CB/FB-Pairing of     Amartey + Bertrand, or Bertrand + Nelson..

I Honestly doubt, that we will see again a long-sequence of games for Johnny Evans. So Bertrand/Vestergaard might well prove shrewed bargain investments.

Justin & Fofana, will Need patience & time, on their return , which could well coincide also with our busiest & Business Side of our season.

So We Need to see, Vestergaard,Amartey,Soyuncu hold to an high & long period of decent form.

 

I Dont know.., But could these hard-Knock & outages, be the reason that either/both players and manager are Cagey and Dont go full-out,

Rodgers himself  has said in all League games so far except the last that we are too slow & ponderous in moving the ball from the back...saying Part of that

is also a Part of his responsibility, to work on it with the players..

Gone are the days when the fans could safely predict the starting line-up, but from what I'm reading about the Millwall game it looks like Evans could be back after completing a full 90, we'll find out in today's presser. 

 

With that in mind, I'd go.

 

Schmeichel

Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Bertrand

Ndidi Tilemans 

Perez Maddison Barnes

Vardy

 

That's using the FoxesTalk negative reality inversion loop algorithm, In hoping 18.18% of the selection above won't happen. 

I won't jinx the actual 11 I'd like to see start. 

 

I can see Bertrand starting because of his defensive capabilities considering we're nursing and nurturing CB's at the moment.

Lookman and Kelechi have to start for Maddison and Perez - The rest is sound

Fantasy:

 

Schmeichel

                   Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Castagne/Thomas

Ndidi
Soumare Tielemans 

Nacho      Vardy    Barnes

 

Reality:

 

Schmeichel

Ricardo Vestergaard Soyuncu Bertrand

Ndidi Tielemans 

Perez Maddison Barnes

Vardy

Yep. If ever there was a game for a pairing of Vesty and Evans, this is it

In Soyuncu's current form I wouldn't want him marking Mark De Vries. 

 

There'll be games to rebuild his confidence but this isn't it.

 

Burnley will be a tough game for centre backs but not one that'll require a lot of pace, where as the aerial threat should be pretty high. 

 

I'd definitely have Vestergaard and Evans starting if they're fit. 

[jmono84]

If Perez any Maddison start and they produce what they’ve been producing recently then BR deserves all the stick he gets.

[Crazy Kop Corner]

Is this the first must win of the season? 

 

We need to go at these from the start and make the obvious selection (for a change) i.e 

 

Schmeichel

    Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Bertrand 

Ndidi Tielemans 

Lookman                                Barnes

Kelechi 

Vardy 

[blueharmie]

This has draw written all over it. 

Brendan will start vardy up top alone, he won't get the ball and we wont have a shot on target all match.

That’s what it should be (perhaps there’s an argument for Soumare over Iheanacho) but it’s telling that Maddison, Perez and Soumare played no part vs Millwall so we can probably assume all 3 will be involved and probably start. 
 

Rodgers should be careful because if we lose or draw and start Maddison and Perez then I think there will be boos at full time because of the frustration at picking out of form players. They would be better starting from the bench and / or starting the European game instead. 

[David Hankey]

Whatever formation deliberations chaps, LCFC to win 2-0. Up the City!!

Our current football is making my eyes bleed frankly. Sean Douche is a massive bellend, but he’s kept Burnley up. Gets results where he shouldn’t and his team is usually a pain in the ass, face, back, knees etc. We play our usual 90% possession, slow, ponderous football and we might just lose this 0-1. Wood inevitably.

Sean Dyche hoofball merchants versus our lot who keep 70% possession at the halfway line. Best thing for this game is for us to go one up early. 

However, if we go one down it will be the usual early pantomime season as the game management starts. Trainer on for every foul, delay free-kicks, corners, goal-kicks, throw-ins the lot and the ref turns a blind eye. 

 

The least looked forward to match the whole season....unless they start singing about Mrs Vardy again.

Nailed on draw. Boring match, last on MOTD. 1-1.
