'pudlians versus Mighty Clarets

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 11:46 am

The Mighty Clarets march to Anfield today to scare the ashes of Bill Shankley.

The red defence will be sent left and right as our forwards drive down the wings and through the middle of ....lots of space.

Madge is very excited so she has come out for a pre-lunch warm up.

Come on you Clarets!!!

Always a joy to see Madge in full flow...much preferred her without the inkings,though !!

4-5-1 Wood up front. Arfield in, no Hendrick.

Risky formation, no keeper and new player at right back?!

The letters are: P O P E.

But, perhaps it's been Heaton for so long nothing else looks right in that team sheet?

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:08 pm

Good line up. Firmino and Sturridge playing for Liverpool and that Coutinho chap.

Come on Burnley

One midfielder on the bench.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:12 pm

Thats for Defour! Then, if necessary...all fire power into the box.

Anybody know what the score was when we played them on 12th August?

Going to put £50 on correct score & first scorer

Afternoon all from a cool and wet Galway . Looking forward to the game and think we will get something out of it . Come On You Clarets .............

Derry if you are on line today , your lot were poor last night sort of end of season game from you .

Fancy Walters to come off the bench and score. He has a good record against Liverpool.

iluva64 · Post by **iluva64** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:21 pm

Formation: Looks good to me. 4-5-1

With the option to go 4-4-2 in the second half with Vokes and Barnes

or we could even try 3-5-2 with Hendrick coming into midfield - maybe a bit risky that formation away from home.

I do like how we can now change things / formations particularly away - less predictable

kaptin1 · Post by **kaptin1** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:23 pm

Hendrick isn't on the bench

Think Jeff may struggle to get a game considering he isn't even on the bench

Quicknick · Post by **Quicknick** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:26 pm

What's happened to the new left back from Leeds? Not on the bench.

iluva64 · Post by **iluva64** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:27 pm

Missed that, was reading the post further up - must have a few problems with the hamstring then - 3-5-2 will definitely be out then

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:27 pm

will be a very good test today, I'm going to be keeping an eye on Brady to see his defensive contribution

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:28 pm

Arfield plays well in that position and hes a goal threat too

Mee and Ward can both play left back so we don't necessarily need a specialist LB on the bench.

Perhaps he's got a knock too?

Don't know, just putting ideas about. I'm sure he hasn't been dumped by Dyche after all of 5 minutes here though. He's a very promising young player.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:32 pm

Saving him for Leeds!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:32 pm

It looks like Wood has now grabbed Vokes' place. Up to him to keep hold of it now. I notice Taylor has missed the bench again with what looks to be Dyche preferring having both Barnes and Vokes there.

Yep, disappointing, had a chance of 3rd place, never mind, I fancy clarets to get something today, it will however be another Alamo I think.UTC

Who do you drop tho to put Taylor on bench?

Bardsley can replace Lowton
Long can replace Ward with Mee stepping across to LB
Or Brady can drop back Arfield across, Westwood on in midfield

Yep, I said the same thing last week. We have cover at left back with Mee, but not with Lowton if Bardsley isn't there. Slightly surprising to see all 3 of Walters, Barnes and Vokes on.

no need to worry..... have you not seen his FF score?

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:37 pm

realistically we will be chasing the boys in red a lot today, we will need an out ball for 95 mins and the ability to hit them on the break. I would have thought Taylor would have been better than Bardsley at that if either were required. But in the 100 times I've questioned Dyche I've probably been wrong 101 times lol

Logging in from San Leone Sicily 30 C here atm.

Big game for Pope. First PL start in front of the Anfield Kop.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:47 pm

take out the front 3 from this team: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Klavan, Robertson, Can, Milner, Coutinho, Salah, Sturridge, Firmino

If we are 100% we could get something

It's 30 degrees in Burnley too.

Hope we get at them today - we can score past this lot, for sure.

Anyway, probably a fairly routine win for us today. 2-0 to the Clarets. Come on lads!
