Looks like a change in formation going 4-5-1

[ClaretAndJew]

Good to utilise Vydra from off the bench. Hopefully before the 87th minute.

[Rowls]

Change of formation!!!

Sound the sirens!

[NRC]

Scraped 1-0 win, defending like it’s the Alamo to confound the doom-mongers

[ClaretTony]

Taylor back. I think Pieters is a bit unlucky.

[NRC]

Is he playing McNeil drifting central behind Wood?

[joey13]

People were crying out for quality coming off the bench , now we have it

[BurnleyFC]

Vydra can count himself very unlucky, whilst Westwood and Brownhill should consider themselves very lucky to be starting.

[Rowls]

Is he playing McNeil drifting central behind Wood?

I think McNeil will be given a license to roam when we have possession.

[Guller Bull]

Is that a tactical switch or is Vydra carrying a minor knock?

[the_fat_shearer]

Holding up the ball/winning free-kicks is the order of the day for Mr Wood.

[claretandy]

People were crying out for quality coming off the bench , now we have it

Not by weakening the first 11 though

[FCBurnley]

Pope is a massive loss. Let’s see if BPF can step up.

[Murger]

We deserve to be dragged back into it. The way we capitulated against Southampton and Newcastle was embarrassing.

[wilks_bfc]

Is that a tactical switch or is Vydra carrying a minor knock?

Assuming tactical.

If it was down to just a knock then Jay would have been in at 442

[BurnleyFC]

I don’t think 4-5-1 is the correct formation or personnel. You play your in form players and both Wood and Vydra are in form. I think Vydra could’ve given United’s centre halves the run around this afternoon.

It could be a cricket score for them now.

[EricaJacko]

Moving to 4-5-1 is sensible imo.

[jedi_master]

I’d play 4-5-1 every game till the end of the season now. We would grind out three draws with that, and I think 36 points is enough.

Agree to an extent I’m that you play your form players, but one of the biggest criticisms of Dyche is that he sticks with 442 regardless.

Playing 4 in midfield against the 5 of United would have been a mistake

[tiger76]

Peeps were crying out for a change in system, and Cork to return, both are happening so let's see if it improves us from the last couple of outings,

Dwight starts also which is a boost.

[Jimmymaccer]

Afternoon all from The Isle of Man................a bit happier thanks to that late late gooners show, anything from this one will be a welcome gift...........

Good luck everyone!!! COYC!

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Could we have seen the last of Nick Pope? Hopefully not or he’ll miss the Euros. He must be desperate to get out there for us and for himself.

[nil_desperandum]

Moving to 4-5-1 is sensible imo.

Yes but it's a couple of matches too late. It cried out for bringing Cork on into a midfield 5 when we were leading at Soton and Newcastle.
Anyway let's see how it goes. Without Pope I fear for us today - I'm afraid to say.

Not even sure a midfield 5 was needed against Newcastle or Soton - the obvious change for me was Cork for JBG and Brownhill tucking in on the right.

I also fear the worst without Pope between the sticks. We know that on the day he’s capable of winning points single handedly. Let’s hope this is BPF’s moment.

[superdimitri]

Looking forward more now we're trying something different.

[Gordaleman]

Give Peacock- Farrel a chance will you. He is a full international.

I just hope we do better than the ladies today.

[Granny WeatherWax]

We will get absolutely hammered today.

[Bosscat]

We will get absolutely hammered today.

Nah just having a couple of beers and a glass of wine later

[Bigvince]

We will get absolutely hammered today.

Well if you get your wish,at least you’ll be able to say, I told you so

[icu81b4]

Good afternoon from the Coconut Coast, I hope we turn up today.... Come on Burnley show your determined chin.

UTC.

[Top Claret]

We will get absolutely hammered today.

You sound like a reyt owd woman

[derryclaret]

Afternoon all, cloudy but decent day up here, badly needed that arsenal equaliser not sure we'll get much out of man utd but we live in hope. COYC!

[EricaJacko]

Almost a free hit today's game, after that Arsenal goal.

[Granny WeatherWax]

Well if you get your wish,at least you’ll be able to say, I told you so

Think you got me mixed up with someone who wants us to lose.

[Rowls]

COME ON BURNLEY!
COME ON BURNLEY!
COME ON BURNLEY!

[NewClaret]

Why is Wood walking offside there?

[Granny WeatherWax]

No need for him to be offside there.

[NewClaret]

No need for him to be offside there.

This

[Buxtonclaret]

I thought someone on the far side was level with Wood.

[jedi_master]

Luke Shaw looked like he played him on? No VAR check? No lines? No discussion? Do we need Scottie as our manager for that?

[NewClaret]

I thought someone on the far side was level with Wood.

Wood like to see it again but looked off to me

[Conroysleftfoot]

Brownhill looks like he is pushing up to support Wood when possible.

[FCBurnley]

Lee Dixon said it was incredibly tight and he thought Wood was onside. No VAR I suspect tells you he was onside

[Rowls]

Why aren't we playing to the same rules as in the Arsenal Fluham game?

Why are we zooming in on Luke Shaw's toenails to double check that offside???

[taio]

Luke Shaw looked like he played him on? No VAR check? No lines? No discussion? Do we need Scottie as our manager for that?

Looked very tight with Shaw. Probably marginally off. But as you say should be shown properly and reviewed.

[tiger76]

I thought VAR checked all goals? He was offside BTW, but what was Henderson doing there.

[Zlatan]

Brownhill looks like he is pushing up to support Wood when possible.

Isn’t that the role he played at Bristol City?

[NewClaret]

I think VAR did check they just didn’t show us the lines?

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Decent first 10min but still passing the ball away needlessly far too often.

[box_of_frogs]

I thought VAR checked all goals? He was offside BTW, but what was Henderson doing there.

Yeah. Bit confused as to why we haven’t had a proper look at it..
