Your current Burnley starting 11

[BigGaz]

He's made it into ONE

I'm NOT just TALKING about THIS thread.

Given Benson does basically no tracking back, I'm not sure your argument holds up. Amdouni's quality is clear for everyone to see. If you aren't playing him because of his off the ball work, then surely you aren't playing Benson either...

I take your point but Benson not tracking back but I'm not just refering to tracking back when I talk about application. The season in the championship wasn't as much of a big deal because we dominated the ball and Cullen was great at getting about to fill in holes.

It's on record that Benny was getting kicked all over in training to prep himself for what it would be like for him and he met it head on. Many teams tried kicking him out of the game but he wanted the ball and kept coming back for more.

I can't say the same for Amdouni. Head drops easily, jogging about unenthusiastically. Undeniable glimpses of some talent for sure but also an undeniable feeling that he was half assing it. For want of a better word the lad is an absolute fanny. He would, could and perhaps should be our best player even ahead of Berge if he sorted that side of his game out.

[Barden Lane]

Just a bit of fun and I know some will go etc and Travers not a claret but I think this really brings home how big AND talented squad we have...
TRAFFORD
SAMBO ESTEVE DELCROIX PIRES
CULLEN BROWNHILL
BENSON AMDOUNI KOLEOSHO
JAY ROD

Versus

HLADKY
ROBERTS BEYER OSHEA. VITINHO
BERGE MASSENGO
ODOBERT. TRESOR. ZAROURY
HOUNTONDJI

OR

TRAVERS?
DODGSON EKDAL. MCNALLY AL DAK
BASTIEN RAMSEY
JBG. WEGHORST REDMOND
FOSTER

[1989_claret]

This team absolutely pisses the league even if we sold a couple of them (Trafford and Berge) and replaced with others in the squad.

Trafford

Sambo Beyer O’Shea Pires

Cullen Berge

Koleosho Amdouni Odobert

Foster

[SonofPog]

Just to mix in a little 523

..........Hladky
Sambo.. Beyer.. O'Shea.. Esteve.. Pires
........Cullen.....Massengo
Odobert..Hountondji..Koleosho

(Don't think Berge will be here hence not in the team)

If we're going 433 though there's a 22 that should do alright

Hlady / Trafford

Sambo / Robert... Beyer / O'Shea... Esteve / McNally... Pires / Dodgson
.... Cullen / Massengo
..... Berge / Ramsey.... Brownhill / JBG
Odobert / Benson.... Houts / Jay Rod.... Koleosho / Zaroury

[BurnleyFC]

It’s really difficult, because as it stands, we’re still overloaded with centre halves and wingers. Seeing as I haven’t seen the new incomings play yet:

Trafford

Roberts, O’Shea, Beyer, Vitinho

Benson, Cullen, Berge, JBG

Amdouni, Foster
