Match Day Thread Burnley v Norwich City FC

I don't think it's too important where it's a simple misspelling of a name. The ones that get me are "off of" and the their/their mixup. It's not as if it's hard is it? Oh and loose/lose.

 

And to/too

 

FOR THE INFORMATION OF ANY CASUAL VISITOR WHO HAPPENS TO LOOK IN ON THIS THREAD, BURNLEY V NORWICH TOMORROW IS A FOOTBALL MATCH, NOT A SPELLING BEE

 

sky sports, lawro etc all confidently predicting us to lose comfortably

 

Expect nothing else.
Go out and stuff it up em

 

Stop Press - Idah not involved in tonight's Under 23 game, so I expect he'll be a sub again tomorrow!!

 

Sounds like Hanley is fit to play from DFs press conf. I'd expect DF to start Hanley with Godfrey. Amadou had a great game of course so I might be wrong, it happened once in the 80s. Amadou could be be pushed forward into his DM role if that's the case tho.

Or do we leave everything alone and start as we finished when we knocked over Citeh?

 

I'm on a roll now. I believe you mean there/their, farked up.
think DF will start the same eleven HMQC. If you come in, do well, you keep your place.

 

I still find it utterly bizarre that living overseas (as I do) that my subscription of 100 usd (a year) allows me choose every single EPL game every weekend.

I would leave it alone. Godfrey has made his mark as a centre back, coming from a midfield role, why not Amadou? There might be something in the fact that as former midfielders they have a bit more nous on the ball, which is essential as so much more play is from the back line. I thought we looked great last week at the back and to drop Amadou would somehow lose us the momentum/camaradarie that the backline created for themselves last week.

 

Likewise if he moves Amadou forward to DM at Tettey's expense, then AT will rightly feel aggrieved after his solid performance last week.
I'd start with exactly the same eleven, injuries allowing, and strengthen the bench with HanDley, etc.

 

Really tough test for us today. A very different test to Man City, but really tough in many other ways. We will learn a lot about our boys and Farke's tactics today. The plan for Man City was perfect. Will be really interesting to see what his plan is for Burnley away.

I also really hope the stereotypical "Battling Burnley" will be wrong, and they wont kick us to bits. Really can't have any more injuries.

 

Yes - don't fix what ain't broke. Handerlee, unlike perhaps Zimmerman, is not a shoe-in for a starting place if injury free

 

I'm with you as far as today's game goes me old China, but at some point I would like to see Amadou and Leitner paired together in midfield, replacing Tettey and Maclean.

 

I think the West Ham game was a decent blueprint for today.

 

I don't think I have seen a better performance from a Norwich player at centre back than Amadou last week.

Solid composed and fearless .

 

Surely we need Klose or Zimmers back to allow the luxury of that pairing further forward?

 

And the sponsors MOTM, so first name on the team sheet in the same position today, shirley?

 

Yes, that did enter my mind, but I don't want to think about that!

Says a great deal about last weeks performance that we were all fearing a hammering yet we’re now wanting an unchanged team! Personally I’d bring Hanley back and move Amadou to midfield in place of Tettey to give us more going forward but not sure that will happen.
