Interesting team. Beyer injured it looks like.

I’ll happily stand eating humble pie at 5pm but Jesus.

Be amazed if we get anything with that lineup but we did get a bit of a kicking off Luton.

So do we think Taylor at CB or LB and likewise with Delcroix? Certainly mixing it up.

Delcroix be cb.

————————Trafford
Vitinho——AAD———Delcroix—Taylor
————————-Cullen
Odobert—Berge—Brownhill——Tresor
————————Foster

(Odobert and Tresor could be either side)

Not sure. Looking forward to seeing what Tresor and Odobert can do.

Amazed by that starting eleven today

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:10 pm

So Roberts Amdouni Koleosho dropped/rested and Beyer injured !!

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:10 pm

Also no Zaroury on the bench

upanatem · Post by **upanatem** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:11 pm

I'm pleased (and slightly anxious) to see Odobert in the starting line-up. He has looked very promising from the little we have seen of him. Hopefully he has a great game.
Surprised also to see Vitinho in the side instead of Roberts. Having said that, Roberts has not had a great run in the side; so maybe a change was required.

I can only assume he wanted a bit of pace at Right back to help handle Sterling/Broja

Or benson

We did get ten ton of shite kicked out of us at Luton

Just feels like we’re in mid October and still experimenting in every area of the pitch except the GK.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:15 pm

Vitinho for extra pace, injury to Beyer and looking at different wide options which means Koleosho will probably come on for last half hour as an impact sub (which is what a lot of people said they'd prefer)
It's not that shocking (or bad)

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:18 pm

I'm beginning to think the manager is unhinged.

Crazy line up.

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:19 pm

obviously bar one the others are tactical.

whiffa · Post by **whiffa** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:19 pm

One thing's for sure, it's certainly exciting! Great times having such squad depth. Come on you Clarets!

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:23 pm

If we had pope, Tarks Ben mee and trips in that back line I would be confident about getting a result. Good luck to the lads.

Frightening.

You’ve set me up with an open goal and I’m going to tap it in…

If anyone is unhinged well look no further than a mirror my friend.

Boss Hogg · Post by **Boss Hogg** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:27 pm

Be stunned if we don’t get thumped with that line up.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:30 pm

If we get at Chelsea this is a winnable game.

The fact Broja is fit is a bit concern. As he was excellent on Monday.

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:31 pm

Thought Larson deserved a start .

Stevie Morgan · Post by **Stevie Morgan** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:31 pm

Surprised people suggesting vitinho has pace. As slow as Roberts.

TheOriginalLongsider · Post by **TheOriginalLongsider** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:31 pm

i think that's just as strong as the line up v Luton. I'd start Larsen but lets give it a chance

derryclaret · Post by **derryclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:32 pm

Afternoon all from a cloudy and very humid Derry, went for a 1-1 on the predictor but looking at the team that may be optimistic, still, we live in interesting for sure. COYC!

Me too.
If things aren't working out, i hope he'll be the first sub on.

Chelsea in general were much better on Monday.

The teams they’ve been struggling most against are the ones who sit in and defend deep. Not sure that’s us.

Anthonini · Post by **Anthonini** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:36 pm

Hey Delcroix Tresor and Odobert are ballers. Unexpected but not crazy either. Is putting Larsen not equally crazy? The fact Koleosho played so many minutes already in itself is crazy.

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:37 pm

for me play your strongest starting line up unless injured, and get a settled side out .

Herein lies our problem against the upper tier of Premier League teams. We try and match them and at the moment we’re miles off being able to do that. We don’t have any other way of playing though so we’ve just got to get through these games best we can.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:40 pm

I fear our back line is there for the taking.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:41 pm

Three points today.No prob.
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!!!

Cole palmer and Sterling
Both to score

Big blow to have Beyer and Ekdal injured

This smacks of the man city experimental line up to give new faces minutes.

Agreed , need to get them both back ASAP

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:51 pm

Haven't seen any evidence that Vitinho has more pace than Roberts
Changes certainly not because players need a rest as it's the International break next
Really worry for today and whether possibly another home defeat will weaken confidence
A settled side? - certainly not with VK

gtclaret · Post by **gtclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:54 pm

Listening to Clarets+,seems to be the Chelsea commentary,no Phil Bird

It Is What It Is · Post by **It Is What It Is** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:55 pm

Blimey! Reading our starting line up ..I thought I was still well ****** from last night! Think I'm going to have a few again after 5pm.
Miracles do happen tho....I suppose....I hope so....I pray so....COYT.
A baptism of fire for some.
I do get comfort tho in the fact that Our Vinny knows an awful lot more about our squad than I do.

Still so sloppy with our passing. I can’t tell if it’s more due to decision making or execution.
