Junior Mullet Posted 20 March, 2015 Share Posted 20 March, 2015 I'd stick with Long and Mane - they showed enough to convince me they'll be more than a handful for any team, not just teams that play on the front foot with a high line. Pelle is snatching at chances and is one dimensional. If you were a Burnley defender, who would you rather play against? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 20 March, 2015 Share Posted 20 March, 2015 I don't mind Burnley, as it goes. It'll be a tricky fixture. They'll be fighting for their lives. Hopefully, they won't come here to park the bus. I think quality is going to be the only difference. Can't fault Burnley for heart. I'm going with the same attitude I had at the last game though. I'll be happy enough to see Saints score. One swallow doesn't make a summer, and we failed to score from open play against Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 20 March, 2015 Share Posted 20 March, 2015 Though it sounds crazy as they last beat City, but I'm quite happy to be playing Burnley after they've just won. Their confidence will be high but if anything it means they probably won't park the bus and will fancy their chances of beating us, which means we'll get chances. While I think we'll start the same team as at Chelsea, I wouldn't be surprised to see Pelle back in. Still I hope for a Saints win and to keep pace with those above us.

Convict Colony Posted 20 March, 2015 Share Posted 20 March, 2015 can i just get this in early i really hate george boyd and its mainly to do with his hair and that stupid hairband he uses. Don't know why but he just looks like he's got the wrong type of hair to pull off long hair, he reminds me of someone who has had a hair transplant so he can have long hair and sewed it into his scalp. Also he is a diving git who fakes injury to waste time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsr-burnley Posted 20 March, 2015 Share Posted 20 March, 2015 We didn't park the bus at Chelsea, Man C, or Man U, so I doubt we'll do it at Southampton. Admittedly we only got 2 points from the 3 games, so you've got a chance. Same team as last week v. Man City. At least, we've only made 3 team changes since November, so I'm not expecting any changes from the win v Man City. 4-4-2, guaranteed, though one of our wingers (Barnes) is really a centre forward, which introduces some flexibility.

Good-oh, I wasn't sure I was going to bother using my season ticket, but now I know that... Incidentally, we beat the team a place above you in the table by 8 goals, and have beaten every other side in the bottom 7 at home so far this season. But then we were utter gash at Turf Moor, and we've been a bit quiet on the goals front recently, so maybe this will be the end of our CL hopes. Though we did also put in our best performance for nearly 3 months last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
