Burnley is vital.

Cant afford to lose this one.

They are decent at home anarl.

 

There's only Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, that have won more points at home, this season.

It's going to be an extremely difficult game. Moyes has us organised now, and, he can make us really difficult to beat. Burnley don't score a lot of goals and I fancy us to grab a 0-0 or 1-1, in this game.

Our last games against the teams around us have been...
Watford - Won
Swansea - Lost
Leicester - Won
Hull - Won
Bournemouth - Won

That has to give us confidence because it's not the games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd that are going to determine whether we stay up, or not. It's these games down at the bottom and so far, Moyes, seems to be targeting them, perfectly.

 

TBF i thought we looked pretty decent against an in form Manure side, certainly a vast improvement over the first 15 games.

 

But for their home form they would be in the mire.
To date they have only picked up 1 point. 9Dont smile though, we have only four).
And as it is they are mid table with 20 points.

The gap between the bottom three is already uncomfortably wide. The next Team above us have just appointed Sam, so history says they should get out of it.

Lets hope for a Happy New Year.

 

That doesn't sound right . . . . but 'anarl' does

Are you not from these parts ?

 

Finally broke that part of the code! Anarl isn't even in my dictionary of Brittish Slang.

Burnley are unbeaten at home when they find the back of the net - and they are pretty much good for 2 goals/game at home vs. 1/2 goal per game on the road. But if we can manage to keep a clean sheet as did Swansea and Arsenal, then we have a good chance of capturing all the points.

Nor should it be.

 

Burnley is a game that we really could do with winning..

 

A draw would be a decent result.

Imagine if we'd nicked draws against Boro Palace and Swansea. Wed have 17 pts.

They'd all have 3 less on the board. Double bubble

 

We will beat them there in the league and lose at home in the cup. Both crap 1-0 games.

 

I'd settle for that right now.

 

Yup so would I.

 

Play like we did at Man Utd for 90 mins at Burnley and we will not be far away....

 

Burnley have only beat Sunderland once in the last 18 league games, between the clubs.

 

Pre team talk. Get the ****ers telt.

 

A definate must not lose match
They are good at home but not with the vocal mackem fans town - hopefully - KTF

 

Its our most important away game since Norwich last season, for me we must target Burnley or it could be curtains for us as far as the Premiership's concerned.

 

Agree it's important but based on our past "must win" games really think this is a must not lose game - we need to target most games imo we can't pick and choose -all our games are vital.
We have form of not winning winnable games against those around us .
