Brownhill back in, no CJ.

Ekdal on the bench!

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:06 pm

Do you think the Egan may be a misprint and just dropped Riley?

JohnDearyMe · Post by **JohnDearyMe** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:06 pm

Is Redmond injured again? Thought we'd want a replacement winger on the bench if possible

Knowing Burnley that's possible.

Strong team, strong bench. Notable lack of wide players, but at least we have Sarmiento on the pitch who can cover there.

Confirmed on Sky (Egan)

If not why would Egan walk straight in to the side rather than Worral or Ekdal?

I was hoping that was going to be the case.

Pity that. Egan's got huge experience but I think SP would have preferred another game for Egan's Burnley debut (start).

He’s been on the bench last few games the others haven’t

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:12 pm

Can’t really grumble about having someone come in who has captained a side up from this level.

No doubts Worrall and Ekdal not ready to start. Real dilemma who to pick when they are.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:12 pm

Worralls not fit yet.

Egan came on at Stoke and is closer to 90 minutes than Ekdal and Worrall.

Because Egan has been fit, on the bench and actually played some minutes where the others are still feeling their way back (I guess?)

Not at all and nothing against anyone who wears the shirt, but both Ekdal and Worral have featured in the U21 and had a full week in training against each other .

Going to be a good game this i feel it as we just come out on top one hopes .

Has he been scratching his head like Pep?

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:50 pm

ER will be a huge miss. Boro pretty much at full strength. Will be a big test for us ( and them )

derryclaret · Post by **derryclaret** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 7:53 pm

Evening all, barometer dropping like a stone, going to get nasty later, two teams in good form going to be a tight game. COYC!

A southern softie team might have been better than a team further north on a night like tonight

Blimey.
Going to be some soggy Longsiders at KO.
Weather looks horrible.

Come on yooooooooou Clarets

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 8:06 pm

Suppose it's hoping a bit much wanting 2 or 3 quick goals to settle the nerves.

Seems a typical game for us. We boss possession and 'Zbruh tries to hit us on the counter.

I'll settle for one as long as we keep a clean sheet.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 8:14 pm

How unlucky is that - looks like Esteve clips his foot making him lose balance leading to him miskicking the bloody ball!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 8:15 pm

What was going on there?????

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 8:15 pm

Egan played him on. Not surprised he is not on the same page as the rest of the defensive line considering his first match

LTUK89 · Post by **LTUK89** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 8:15 pm

What is Egan doing there.

Amazing what happens if you’re willing to play a ball forward in dangerous areas.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 8:15 pm

Played onside by Egan
