Champions versus MIGHTY CLARETS

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 12:54 pm

We go where no one has gone this season and got anything.

We may suffer and go out on our shields....or, our warriors may just, once again, achieve the impossible.

Allez les Clarets!

Madge has had her rub down and firing on all cylinders, just like our heroes.

Come on you Clarets

Madge won France's equivalent of " Pop Idol " in 1999, we get Stavros Flatley & Paul Potts ....

....we've got Madge!

Send her on as an early sub to disrtact V V D and then maybe our strikers might have a chance.

Can somebody remind me to take my Burnley top off at 2.59pm. We seem to lose when I have it on and following this thread.

Harsh on Vydra.

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:03 pm

Pieters starting right midfield against Liverpool is scary.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:03 pm

Yeah I agree. Harsh to drop Vydra.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:03 pm

Thanks for posting. Disappointed for Vydra.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:06 pm

It is harsh on Vydra, but Wood looked sharp when he came on against West Ham

Chester Perry · Post by **Chester Perry** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:07 pm

Wood will probably be subbed though

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:09 pm

So from what you would call our first choice starting XI. We have the following enforced changes
Long for Mee
Pieters for JGB
Brownhill for Cork
JRod for Barnes

Come on you Clarets

Which is what surprises me. Starting Vydra and bringing on Wood for 30 minutes in the second half, gradually gets him to the 90. And Vydra looks the better option vs Liverpool's defence. Long ball will see Dick Van Dyke just clearing it back.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:10 pm

Vydra looked shattered at West Ham

Won’t need that after woody bangs a hat trick

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:23 pm

Disappointed at Vyds being dropped. Can't see someone as slow as Wood getting anything from VVD. Hope I'm wrong. Maybe he'll get a knockdown for J Rod?

Hope JBG gets some decent time as well.

Vydra has played OK but missed far too many chances. Today could be a one chance game, we need to take it. COYC.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:33 pm

If we are backs against the wall, late on, Vydra running g channels, with his speed, is a good weapon.

Damn I was hoping we would be able to field 12. Bound to lose now

I was hoping Klopp would rest Salah, Mane and Firmino, but all three start. I guess Klopp is scared of us?

I would do it the other way around though. We'll be sitting back early and mid game, and need Vydra running into the channels to turn the defense and get in behind a line that could be pushed up.

Late on, we'll most likely be behind, Liverpool will be sitting back and we'll need to get the ball into the box, so time for Wood to shine.

---

Despite all that, what does it say about Dyche being loyal to his players?... Turns out thats only some of his players. Pope kept his place, McNeil kept his place... Vydra... Na mate, Wood is back now, get back on the bench.

What has been telling about the last few seasons is that the big clubs tend to pick the best team available against us - and they are always up for it - that is the respect they give us, especially Pep and Klopp, they want they teams to be on their best form against us - which explains why they usually win and win well

Maybe that's Sean's plan? Do things backwards? Start at 5-0 Liverpool and work back to 0-0 and steal a point?

Ha, I went out earlier for a butty and a coffee. I like to wear it proudly in these parts. I'll take it off now and just sit with my belly hanging over my belt

Doing fine so far.

And Woody hasn't been caught offside yet.

Stream I'm watching has no fake crowd noise and I much prefer it this way.

Taylor in the wars early today. Twice he's been down already.

C'mon you Clarets
