Team news, very interesting

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:04 pm

I think this will be

———————Trafford
Roberts O’Shea Beyer Al-Dakhil
—————Berge—Cullen—————
Vitinho ——Amdouni———Koleosho
———————-Foster

Bloody hell, that's a decent bench. When was the last time we had one that deep?

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:05 pm

Had no idea what team we'd put out and I'm still surprised!

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:06 pm

Some rise for Koleosho

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:06 pm

Only real surprise for me is Vitinho instead of Zaroury.

Makes sense, both wingers have pace to get back and track midfielders

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:08 pm

No Taylor on the bench.

Iloveyoubrady · Post by **Iloveyoubrady** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:09 pm

Surprising team. Think it will be 4231 still with Al dahkil left back and Vitinho wide left giving him some support.

After being linked with about 400 wingers over the summer I did not expect Vitinho to be in the starting line up for this game.

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:19 pm

How much of a vote of confidence in Koleosho to be on with all that lot on the bench behind him. Very exciting

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:22 pm

Hopefully I'll feel as elated tonight like I was after last season's opener against Huddersfield - UTC !

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:22 pm

5 at the back, leaves Cullen and Berge with a shed load of work

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:25 pm

First game of last season, Kompany sprung a surprise with a winger no-one expected to be in the starting line up.

bfcmik · Post by **bfcmik** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:31 pm

I suspect that will be a fluid 3 at the back with Roberts and Vitinho as attacking wing backs/wide defensive midfield. Kompany likes to see 2 groups of 5 for the most part with an extra player being released to the other bank when we need to try and overload.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:31 pm

Scott twine is warming up pre match, is team sheet wrong?

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:39 pm

Surprised Muric is not in goal after his performance against Benfica
So good to see CuLlen back thought he might be injured
UTC

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:41 pm

So the pre-match interviews are very different

Pace and The Watts have all been interviewed at the Sky table, discussing stuff like the documentary, the Watts on why they invested in Burnley etc
Carragher and Neville have been in the Royal Dyche too

Our owners are very much willing to be in the spotlight when required and I think it’s very good

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:41 pm

Evening all.
White Knuckle Ride starts now.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS !!!

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:42 pm

Ohh the new hospitality in the Jimmy Mac struggling. Walked in 6 order machines. 4 down with printer issues. You need the ticket to collect your order...

That aside it's great to be back! COYC

Not sure about Muric being dropped for first game. Think he earned the right to start the first game.

Or will Al-Dakhil play left back?

derryclaret · Post by **derryclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 7:48 pm

Evening all, this is going to be absolutely fascinating to see how the new players bed in and how we play, as Buxtonclaret says let the white knuckle ride begin. COYC!!

Pretty sure Twine did this a few times last season when not in the match day squad.

If Pawson could send a couple of these of, as he did at the Bridge, we can win this.

We have some pace in the back line so they might be able to catch him.
