Away normally suits us, but not sure they will be that expansive. Vestergaard is going to have to earn his money for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 30 January, 2019 Share Posted 30 January, 2019 Doing this one with my boy (weather permitting), think they are going to be well up for this given their recent form. That said, if the goal machine that is JWP continues his current form, we are in with a shot of getting something.

SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2019 Author Share Posted 30 January, 2019 Had a look at their results since December. The 5-1 smashing Everton gave them really woke them up.

Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2019 Share Posted 30 January, 2019 Fancy us getting a point or more. I fancy us for a point in this and I think it suits us more than Palace. Tonight was everything we dread really; must not lose, at home to a relegation rival, home crowd watching, organised defensive team with dangerous players on the break. Burnley are a different prospect but I think we can get something. Would play Armstrong instead of JWP though, the line-up tonight was just too lacking up front.

Lighthouse Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 You'd drop a player who has scored 3 in 3 ? Yes. If anything I'd consider playing him RWB but I wouldn't have a midfield of him, Hoj and Romeu. The goal aside, I thought he did very little tonight.

tajjuk Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 Hopefully Bertrand can be involved, maybe Lemina as well, he brings something different to our midfield. Honestly less worried about Burnley than Palace, Burnley are organised and hard working but lack the flair and pace Palace have in Zaha/Townsend. If we can stand firm on the set pieces I think we have a chance of winning the game. Plus you'd think them being at home there would be more onus on them to attack us more than Palace did.

Dusic Posted 1 February, 2019 Share Posted 1 February, 2019 Why is Bertrand still out? He's been training with the first team for 3 weeks now.I make it about 3 weeks full training he has had. Missed about 2 and half months but not exactly coming back from an ACL operation. RH vague when asked in yesterdays presser. Said he needs to get match fit but when asked how without playing matches he kind of sidestepped the question and talked about intense training. I have a feeling Targett will play til the end of the season and we will look to sell Bertrand in the summer. Personally really like RB and think Targett consistently struggles at PL level but one is an Academy player and the other isn't. Club will probably feel they can save on Bertrand's wages.

Personally really like RB and think Targett consistently struggles at PL level but one is an Academy player and the other isn't. Club will probably feel they can save on Bertrand's wages. If RB wants to play and is working hard in training, it makes no sense at all to sideline him in favour of Targett for the rest of the season, summer move or not. Targett is not the long term answer to the LB/LWB position. He lacks the athleticism, pace, power and sharpness. I'm not sure what's going on with RB but if his attitude is good then we shouldn't be ****ing about. He is still one of the best players we have and the team sheet looks much stronger with him in it.

Mccarthy Valery Bednarek Vestergaard Targett JWP Romeu Hoj Ings Austin Redmond I would like to see ings and Austin play together, I think that it could work with JWP and Hoj stepping up creatively. Also with 3 midfielders and JWP being more convincing defensively we don't need 3 at the back, especially as Stephens has looked poor recently.

Dark Munster Posted 1 February, 2019 Share Posted 1 February, 2019 Lawro's prediction. Burnley v Southampton Burnley's 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday was still a very good result but they came very close to getting an amazing one. Seeing Southampton recover to get a point in their game against Crystal Palace was another mark of their recent improvement. But the Clarets are unbeaten in the Premier League in 2019 and - as I have said before - I think the old Burnley are back. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Mo's prediction: 0-4 Ryan's prediction: 0-4 Um, aren't we also unbeaten in the PL in 2019? I like the two guest NFL dudes' predictions!
