Preparing for the inevitable meltdown....

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:02 pm

Glad to see Taylor back. Disappointed he hasn't taken a chance in changing the front two though.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:02 pm

Interesting that on Twitter the first thing people complain about is that Wood and Barnes are starting - and don't realise or aren't bothered that Taylor is back.

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:02 pm

Who are the two new guys up front ?

Oh and just spotted Taylor is back

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:02 pm

I'm disappointed JRod isn't starting.

Yep, same for me. Still, some positives.

Dynamic duo starting, let's hope they live up to the trust Dyche has put in them.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:05 pm

Totally predictable.

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:05 pm

Mmm 442 ,

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:05 pm

Salah & Firminho on the bench - not bad

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:05 pm

Never in a million years would I have predicted that he'd start with that front 2. Earth shattering.

Rumbletonk · Post by **Rumbletonk** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:05 pm

Lets hope they've had the confidence boost/kick up the arse to getting them playing like we all know they can. This has to be their last chance before the other 2 get a crack. It must be so deflating for Vydra and Jrod

CHEWBACCA · Post by **CHEWBACCA** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:05 pm

Wood & Barnes again ?
Must be demoralising for Vydra and Jay Rod knowing they could almost certainly do better for the start..

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:06 pm

Brady and Lowton to stifle Mane

Would have preferred to see Brownhill WR and Cork in middle

Is Matip starting for the scousers ?

jurek · Post by **jurek** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:06 pm

It's good that Taylor and McNeil are starting
but surely it's last chance saloon for Wood and Barnes.
They have to perform well and hopefully score one or two.

Please.

clansman · Post by **clansman** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:07 pm

Have to say the front two comes as no surprise. Let’s hope it works. I think nearly everyone would have hoped j rod started tonight.
McNeil and Taylor together. Good news!

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:07 pm

When was the last time we had everybody fit? Opinions will differ on who should/shouldn't start but we have good options from the bench - Taylor's return is a massive plus - especially paired with McNeil on the left

Being devils advocate (in the true sense of the name) maybe the excitement and happiness that Taylor is back has been completely overshadowed by the ‘other thing’

Apparently around a year since we had a fully fit side to choose from.

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:08 pm

Would’ve started Jay personally. Unless he isn’t fully fit I see no reason why not.

andyh · Post by **andyh** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:09 pm

Is that a completely fit 1st choice squad for the first time this season?

I wouldn’t bet on that last chance saloon thingy....

And don’t call me Shirley.

I doubt that it's last chance saloon considering we're playing the champions away.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:10 pm

I have to say I am disappointed with the starting line-up but pleased to see Taylor back. Our attempts at goal in the last few games has been poor to say the least, so I'm not confident of a decent display at all. I hope I'm proved wrong with and we get a result.

DomBFC1882 · Post by **DomBFC1882** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:11 pm

Disappointed with the strikers but its to be expected with Dyche

Good to see Taylor and McNeil back in , hopefully to feed the crosses in to our front two , who hopefully can bully their centre halves

Stu · Post by **Stu** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:12 pm

Wood and Barnes again shocking

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:13 pm

I have given the front 2 much grief for their poor (IMO) performances lately, but to be fair to them the Liverpool defence is ripe for their antics tonight and I hope they get some confidence back with whatever chances they get.

Fully behind them tonight.

I’d rather they manage a shot on target than bully them.....

karatekid · Post by **karatekid** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:13 pm

I thought West Ham was the last chance saloon as apparently Wood always performed well there.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:13 pm

Got to be tough for the other two strikers, seeing their competition in such poor form and still they can't get a start. It's one of the few positions we have genuine competition for and he won't change it up, even when it isn't working.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:14 pm

For once, it's the team I went with in the match preview and the one I'd have selected if everyone is fit. Really good to have Charlie back and Dwight in front of him. At some point we need them back playing like they were last season.

You'd have played 2 non-scoring strikers?

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:15 pm

Taylor straight back in after injury
Dwight straight back in after 45 mins
Jay well how long does he need?

At some time we need Wood and Barnes just back playing

Evening all from a dry but cold Galway .
Well all set for the off as we start level and to be honest if we ended up that way i would be very happy .

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:17 pm

Based on the fact that at 9.00pm tonight when the second half gets underway it will be the 21st hour of the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century I'm going for a 2-1 scoreline tonight. But in Burnleys favour of course

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:18 pm

It's not that wood and Barnes arnt getting chances, it's the chances they miss that is the problem

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:19 pm

Dyche is trying to outwit Klopp

By playing two false no 9"s
