Upthearse versus MIGHTY CLARETS

Post by IanMcL » Sat Dec 22, 2018 11:12 am

Kick off draws near. I have not gone, which is a very odd feeling, especially as we are going to win.

Madge has been training hard all week and HolyCustard has installed one of those cryothingummy chambers, next to her shoebox, under his stairs, so she will not be stiff.

This is our moment. Come on you Clarets.

Interesting line up , we'll need Taylor to get the crosses in to worry them . I presume it'll be 5-3-1-1 with Barnes playing behind the plank .

So we are looking to Hart to supply the amo for the front 2?

Give him a break. People have been crying and whinging for him to play 3 at the back and play wing-backs. He's now doing it, and still people are throwing their toys around.

Hopefully not risking them given we are very likely to lose. More important games coming up.

No widemen. Not expecting much creativity or many shots on target again.

Arsenal playing a front three. Good move by their manager against a back 5. Don’t expect Taylor or Bardsley to be able to get forward much.

I'm happy that Dyche is at least trying different things out (but by god, we need some signings in Jan).

We’ll be reyt as long as the midfield try to push up behind the front two.
No use hoisting our long balls if there is nobody about to win the knock on.

COYC. NNN.

Wish the coms wouldn't keep banging on comparing how many goals we've shipped so far season compared to last.
It's depressing.

If there is any justice we will get something today, given the appalling refereeing in recent years in this fixture.

Sean Dyche is apparently 'San Dyche' according to the Spanish commentators here. It changes every week. Once it was 'Seen Deesh'.
