Re: Match Thread
Taylor as centre back
Re: Match Thread
Taylor back in which is good to see but I would’ve liked to have seen Muric between the sticks.
Come on, Burnley!

Re: Match Thread
Great that Taylor and Brownhill are back, but I’d have really liked Muric too.
Let’s hope for a much more solid and compact performance with plenty of attacking threat to bring on.

Re: Match Thread
Interesting eleven.
But nervous about that midfield but confident we will at least be a bit more solid defensively

Re: Match Thread
Pretty sure back 4 will be Roberts AD Beyer Taylor
Re: Match Thread
I’ve seen that line up and I’d be amazed if Taylor isn’t left back, with Roberts right back and Al-Dakhil and Beyer in the centre.

Re: Match Thread
Sky and the app have Roberts at left back, Al dakhil at right back and Taylor at centre back. I really hope that this is wrong.

Re: Match Thread
Sky Sports and the Burnley FC app both showing AAD at RB, Roberts LB, and Taylor CB.
Nothing like playing your defenders in their natural position!
Hopefully turns out to be a master stroke from Vinnie

Re: Match Thread
Trafford
Roberts Al-Dakhil Beyer Taylor
Brownhill Cullen Gudmundsson
Koleosho Amdouni Foster
I would guess (Foster to move in off the left as he did against City).

Re: Match Thread
Taylor won’t be centre back. At least some common sense in the team selection, more experience combined with pace up front.

Really shocked to see Taylor in, but not displeased. Never thought we'd see it.
Statement game from Brownhill tonight please.

Re: Match Thread
JBG will play on the right I reckon like he did against them in the cup. He’s a good robust option there. Then Zeki and Foster through the middle, Koleosho left.

Re: Match Thread
When the team sheet is submitted I’m sure it doesn’t show the formation.
So don’t worry, everyone is going to play in their rightful position.

Re: Match Thread
I actually think it's pointless playing Cullen with Trafford in goal.
Muric and Cullen made the rest of the team tick.
Cullen is a spare part wien playing as a "midfielder"

Re: Match Thread
Think our bench is at least as strong as our starting Xi. Obviously plus 2 day Beyer and Cullen

Re: Match Thread
I’d like to think that Taylor will be the left back, and Roberts the right back…. But with the utterly bizarre decision to place Roberts at left back recently, I wouldn’t be putting money on my thoughts being right.
Re: Match Thread
That central midfield is so weak lacking any pace, strength and height - just don't get the inclusion of JBG if we are playing three across the middle and if he is playing wide it still doesn't look right - they will just overrun us
Amdouni and Koleosho have shown no tracking back qualities from the first three games
Hope I am wrong but fear this will be another defeat

Re: Match Thread
Must admit I am a little surprised he is still opting for a midfield two.
Got to have faith he’s worked on this the last two weeks.
I also hope the back four is what we think. If AD is at RB I genuinely have to question VKs ability at this level

There’s just no way that VK would play 3 players out of position in that back four…

Re: Match Thread
And so hasn’t made the bench? I’m sure we’ve signed other players whose names don’t immediately come to mind.

Re: Match Thread
Tbf in the cup game, Taylor, Brownhill and JBG were up there with the best performers outfield. I think there’ll be a bit of fluidity with the midfield, in possession, Brownhill has energy to get all over the pitch, out of possession, he does all the dog work whilst Cullen and JBG tuck in and keep shape.
Best bench I’ve seen in a while too so if it’s not working there’s plenty of options.

Re: Match Thread
Taylor had to come in simply because of those first 3 results. I wouldn't have minded if he stuck with it, but I hope Charlie shows it was the right decision.
Delighted Brownhill is in, but I would expect and hope, that he plays a deeper defensive role, and links the front and back.
The only problem we have with the front 4, is getting the ball to them often enough, hopefully Brownhill can do that.
