It's a real problem marra,when people don't check the fixture list before making arrangements! I've been banging on about it for years with my kids!
Just like any other game, play to OUR strengths, respect the opposition and if we do then our strengths will be enough to win the game imo.
I’m not so sure how that works or what I should do … what are the consequences if I do get ahead of myself? …
Great thread again RTB thank you for your efforts. Looking forward to driving down to this one. Difficult game in my opinion 1st home game in front of their fans they will come at us at the start. First 20 mins keep a clean sheet quieten their crowd a bit and then start to take the game to them. Not as confident as some for a win I'd take avdraw now but I do think we might just sneak by the odd goal. Haway the lads.
Or we just attack them from the start - Tottenham almost scored within 20 seconds. Richarlison should have had a hat-trick and Spurs could have won about 6-0 Have a great trip
Yes,but that was at Spurs. They'll be a different proposition at Turf Moor,first match back in the PL. I'm confident in the team we've assembled, we are going to need to be at our best to get something here.
We need to replicate the clubs mentality. We can sign Xhaka. We want to make a mark. Europe the aim. **** Burnley. Yeah, it may be a tough game but we have to start treating these as winnable. The ownership group, the ‘deal makers’. The players and the coaching staff have no intention or remaining ‘competitive with Burnley’. We should be looking at this as a golden chance of 3 away points in the Premier League.
Nah, I’ll just be equally pissed off but will have missed the hope and excitement of contemplating a win … … half the fun, for me, is the pre-match build up tbh.
I'm sure they'll be thinking the same. Given a lot of their spend was players from last season they were obliged to buy, id be most disappointed if we cannot edge this.
Yep,agree. I think the best pre match fun I have is the anticipation of the match...meeting up with mates....chewing the cud of where we think we are,and what we think we are capable of match by match. I think it's what defines us as fans.
ELF took a knock in that training vid but was there at the end. Assume all is fine as they'd have edited it out!
That's a pretty good point actually. I'm going to change my cautious draw prediction to a win now and with confidence it won't be a jinx. HTL.
