OttawaSaint Posted 17 February, 2018 Share Posted 17 February, 2018 Burnley not playing too well lately. Many of the other relegation threatened teams play each other. This game is massive. I just hope MoPe sets us up well and we have a real go at them. Three points here would be absolutely golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanimal Posted 18 February, 2018 Share Posted 18 February, 2018 Well in that case yesterday was a good warm up/indicator for next week and how to counter attack with speed like the second goal. This is a winnable game one of our best chances so MOPe better call it right, injuries permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles31 Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 Burnley were utter cr@p when we played them at SMS and that was during their good run. The haven’t won in something like 11 league games so we must attack them from the get go and play with high intensity - all things we know this manager will not do. Redmond should start on the right instead of JWP and put Tadic on the left. I’d move Lemina forward and sit Hojberg with Romeu who will need to help with the CBs their aerial duels with Vokes and Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 The worry I have is that they play right into our weaknesses. Long balls, physical centre forwards. They are a fine example of a side who understand their technical weaknesses and play to their strength - which is Barnes, Vokes etc. I have no doubts that we will out pass them and have a higher % of possession, but we will need to move it quickly as they are a physical outfit who will not give us time to think. They press hard, play hard, bombard the box. We need 6 points from the next 2 for me. Anything less and we’re ****ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, do some of you lot think for even a second before you post some of this nonsense? Let's say we draw at Burnley and beat Stoke - we'll be out of the bottom 3 (possibly by several places and a couple of points with a vastly superior GD to boot), we'll have lost once (to Liverpool) in ten games and have three hugely winnable games up next - and yet according to you we'd be "****ed".

SKD Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 I'd go for: McCarthy Cedric Yoshida Hodet Bertrand Lemina PEH Redmond Boufal Tadic (or a combination of these 3.. all can play across the line) Carrillo Tough on JWP who has been brilliant past few weeks, but Burnley aren't in great form, have a few injuries and this is a game in which if we set out to win the match (play positively, take the game to them), we should win. Yoshida over Stephens as he has shown time and time again he is poor in the air and sh!te at marking. Yoshida not much better, but is better than Stephens. However, I think he'll go: McCarthy Cedric Stephens Hodet Bertrand Lemina Romeu JWP PEH or Davis Tadic Carrillo 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable. What's nonsense about it? We need to start winning, we can't keep picking up points or valliant defeats in the hope we still have games coming up. We need to get as many points on the board as soon as possible, I personally think the next two are the biggest chance we have for 6 points in this batch of fixtures we have. We need them on the board now, not in the future. If we're playing catchup at the back end of the season we'll be in trouble, and that's what we'll be doing if we don't start getting some wins together now.

We'll be ****ed if we don't win games, simple. I happen to think that the two we have now, Burnley and Stoke, represent the best chance we have in this batch. I don't have huge confidence with the Swansea, Newcastle or WHU games in terms of getting 3 pts. That's why I honestly think we need to get 6 on the board in the next two, will make things a lot more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 (edited) I'd play this myself, no idea what goes on in training but here goes: McCarthy Cedric Hoedt Stephens Bertrand Lemina Romeu JWP Tadic Sims Carrillo Bench: FF, Mcqueen, Maya, Long, Gabbiadini, PEH and Boufal Think they are only team on worse form than us, could be wrong but they haven't won in like 10 games I don't think. I think this is one we do really need to win and capitalise on, I feel like every 2 games we need to be picking up 3/4 points mininum now.

Special K Posted 21 February, 2018 Share Posted 21 February, 2018 Good time to play them. They've not won in 10 and seem to perform better against top 6 teams. A few on the physio table too. They had us sussed at SMS so hopefully this will be a bit different if MP has learned anything at all. Cautiously optimistic for a narrow win with AM performing heroics in the last 5 minutes.
