The likelihood is Chris Wood will score, he usually does. Which means we'll have to score at least twice, but that's a given regardless.

Don't put the mortgage on it.

I care, because if we lose this we're well and truly in a relegation scrap!

Name your price and I'll bet you it that Wood doesn't score against us this week....

Way our defence crumbles at the moment, there's a chance a fart left behind by Wood will notch a goal.

Need to do the basics well and match there energy levels, will be a very tough game but we have enough quality to beat them. 

 

Weghorst is gonna give our back 4/5 absolute nightmares 🤣 no idea what to expect from us atm 

Funny that, because I think we're more predictable than ever at the moment. 

Nervous defensively

Overplaying it in midfield with misplaced passes

A bit of quality up front that means we're always an occasional threat

 

If we can stop conceding a couple of goals every game we'll start picking up points, but that's a big "if" at the moment.

Yes, I do know what you mean. He does always seem to score against us. 

 

I just have this strange feeling, however, that he won't score this time. In fact I'm happy to bet you £100 he won't. 

 

I realise that stake might be a bit high so, I'll tell you what, I'll give you odds of 10/1 to make it interesting.

Weghorst going to bully our defence big time

[ARM1968]

I absolutely detest Sean Duche, but he will have Burnley organised, fit and motivated. So that’s three things we won’t bring to the game. Cannot see beyond a limp, depressing hammering. 3-1 I’d guess. 

[moore_94]

More just looking forward to getting to try out my new heated jacket rather than the actual football 

[NewquayFox]

Iheanacho & Perez need to on the bench in the Dressing room for this one, both have had absolutely no influence on any game they have played in for a good while, play like we did last night (I know Randers were poor too) and Burnley will embarrass us on Tuesday…

Harsh on Lookman, but think it might be Barnes given he came off early against Randers. Ndidi’s been poor recently but don’t fancy Hamza or Soumaré in that role either so stays for me. Will take any sort of win here

Would like to see Barnes & Daka as a 2 up front….

[Bryn]

Typical they hit form innit

Doh, must do cos I didn't know that. Still, might be relevant in April.

Pray for a clean sheet, unlikely i guess but still think we will win 

 

3-1 is my optimistic prediction. 

[Ric Flair]

Lookman often struggles to make much of an impact off the right compared to when he plays wide left and cuts in. Barnes is improving in recent weeks though so it's a difficult call. The call I'm tempted to suggest though is that Ndidi needs dropping.....

 

Schmeichel

 

Ricardo

Amartey

Soyuncu

Thomas

 

Soumare

Tielemans

KDH

Maddison

 

Daka

Barnes

He's better than Woods from the little I've seen of him. So you are probably right.

They are on a high at present with a good run of form.

We need to stop his runs or cut off his supply , If we can do that we should score against them.

 

A big and important 3 points for us though and a chance to rebuild some confidence.

[Cincinnati Fox]

Everything tells me easy Burnley win!

2-1 Leicester

I'd agree, Wilf looks an absolute shadow of his former self atm, I'm torn between Soumare or Hamza in his role though

Ndidi should be dropped from midfield but of all the games to bring Mendy back in, Burnley away probably isn't ideal. 

 

There is no way we keep a clean sheet here, unless we have so much of the ball Burnley don't get near our goal. Need to go attacking and get goals. 

Rodgers will probably bring in Mendy to man-mark Weghorst!

I also agree about Wilf (pity cos he's normally so darned good) but, please, Soumare???? Awful player - contributes nothing, always looks lost, hardly runs; absolute waste of space. Sorry, but the worst signing since Junior Lewis (yeah, yeah, yeah - heard you - give him time).

 

No.

I was thinking this might actually be a game for Hamza. We can probably do with his physicality and against Burnley I don't think we would really suffer much in terms of going forward.
