Norwich v Burnley Match Thread

Fair play to those who have made the long trip to Norwich for a lunch time kick off.

Lots of rumours on twitter about how the team may look different.

Will post the team sheet when its available in 25 mins or so.

Very envious. We were on QE in Oct but didn’t rate Salalah Oman.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Feb 04, 2023 11:29 am

Having seen who has got off the bus, I’d guess at:

BPF
Roberts Beyer Taylor Maatsen
Brownhill Bastien/Twine Cullen
JBG Barnes Zaroury

Line up looks fine to me

Pretty strong lineup still, despite the absentees.

That doesn't look so bad.
I'd take a draw right now from this tough fixture.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Feb 04, 2023 11:32 am

Ekdal in for Taylor, interesting one.

Much stronger looking side than rumours suggested.

Good bench too. Come on clarets.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Feb 04, 2023 11:32 am

I was expecting worse. Shows the depth we have in the squad.

What’s up with Muric? Could’ve done with him today…

I was hearing murmurs of both our keepers being out. Glad it was a load of shite.

Will be interesting to see how we deal with Norwich’s high press without him. BPF’s shorter passing worries me a bit.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Sat Feb 04, 2023 11:34 am

I’m happy with that line up, after all the panic about player availability, still a strong bench. It just shows what a strong squad VK has assembled.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Feb 04, 2023 11:36 am

I think we could see back to back 0-0s in East Anglia but I’ll happily take the 1-2 I predicted last week.

As Zaroury is good with both feet I would mind if him ,& Tella switched wing for a while,because Tella always seems to be at his best in the inside left position,but however they line up they should be good enough for a point at least.

Same. He played far too many passes straight back into the man in front of him against Ipswich and it made it easy to read and kept putting us under unnecessary pressure. Muric is a big miss.

Let's see how we get on. UTC

Al-Dakhil had an excellent game at Ipswich last week but isn't even on the bench which is a bit mysterious, perhaps he is one of the players who has an "illness". No Obafemi either.

Nonetheless looks a strong line up and pretty awesome when you consider how many players are out.

Cork. Still a huge player for us.

Good starting line up considering we have a few injury problems.

I’m confident we can get a result.

think they have just said football on sky this weekend is free. If I have heard that correctly, if you have sky but not sky sports then you may be able to watch live on Sky

Al-Dakhil is down there with the squad. I guess it was a case of starting Ekdal and then Taylor fills up the centre back cover on the bench. I’m sure he’ll start on Tuesday.
