MIGHTY CLARETS versus Chelski

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:28 pm

Football back at the Turf. Hooray! I am parked up and waiting.

Madge has ignored the cold and is fired up and raring to get us off to a swift and cracking start.

Let's get behind the lads.

Cone on you Clarets.

Wood in for Vokes is imo the best starting XI we have at the club

Good afternoon all from a very clear and sunny day here in Galway , but boy it's cold out there .
Going to be a hard afternoon at the Turf and if we get anything out of today's game it will be hard got that's for sure .
Still thinking about those who were in the chopper last night that went down

Chester Perry · Post by **Chester Perry** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:33 pm

we have our team back - hope it doesn't take too long for them to bed in

Probably our best starting 11 and bench Ward and Gibson excepted

Find it weird we still put three strikers on the bench an no winger especially when it's doubtful Brady will last the 90, surely McNeil can be a ub instead of one off the three

Come on Super Burnley!
11/1 for a win and 5/1 for the draw

Listening in Via Clarets Player watching on Sports Manua on Kodi with commentary switched off

Annoying that Clarets Player is about 1+ minutes behind the action

Sunny in Greystones Wicklow Ireland

CaptJohn · Post by **CaptJohn** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:42 pm

Welcome back Robbie. Let's not expect too much too soon though. A hat-trick will be fine for starters

I note no Lennon in the squad. That knock he took from Kompany was pretty nasty.

Just enjoying my breakfast looking out over a sunny Florida morning. I am thinking of you poor individuals back in the UK and the cold weather

Eden Hazard not in Chelsea team - un fit.

Still looks like a team that will be tough to beat!

Come on you Clarets!

frankinwales · Post by **frankinwales** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:50 pm

Just about our strongest team.

Hoping for a good performance.

Up the Clarets............

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:51 pm

Hazard missing is still a massive plus though.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:51 pm

Vyrda for Hendrick and I'd have been happier. Good team though. Still can't see us getting anything. Fingers crossed.

4-4-2 or even 4-4-1-1 wouldn't work against Chelsea, we'd be overrun in midfield, big time. We always needed 5 men across midfield today.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:54 pm

Weaker team than the one we beat last season!

Cracking the flags in Leeds. Where abouts in Florida are you? My sister used to live in Marco Island.

Its been nearly 10 years since we chucked them out of the cup on penalties - one of my late fathers favourite memories.

The beast was on form that night.

Hoping its a good omen for a penalty today.

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 1:10 pm

Good line up.

We should see some good flowing football from the Turf today.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 1:10 pm

TV channel I am watching through Sports Mania, Sportsnet totally concentrated on Chelsea them warming up etc. no mention of us at all

Joke

Is this the day we finally get that pen - In the other game (Arse v Palace) I believe they will be one and possibly a red - Arse have decided to play Granit Xhaka at left back v Zaha - would could possibly go wrong there

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 1:14 pm

I would take a draw but fancy us to win this

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 1:17 pm

I think we'd all take a draw. A draw, some nice football and Brady and Defour going the distance would be superb.

If you drink a bottle of red wine, make sure you follow it with a bottle of white, so you don't stain your teeth.

Only white for me Frank and still sat on the fence .

Afternoon all from a glorious sunny day in Derry, great to see Robbie back, not just for the Clarets but also Ireland, he's been badly missed.UTC

So full house on the sunshine stakes in Ireland ........ Now must be sunny in Cork even if Piston is at the Turf .

Afternoon DC. There's no coincidence in our drop in form since Brady got injured. The first half of last season we were superb and when he got injured, we somehow managed to hang on to 7th. Him and Defour, arguably our two best players and most teams would suffer if they lost their two best players.

Let's do this.

always like the fact that it is the club's own staff that play the last post

Afternoon all, will probably take time for the missing two to bed in but good to see them both starting and Hazzard is out for Chelsea.

Watching the game on this site today

COYC.

Good to see Cork looking sharp so far. Really moving well around the middle of the park.

It was a fantastic save, could have been a goal but Hart read it right as it took a deflection at the last second!
