Burnley vs Unfortunately

You're never happy.

 

Utterly predictable that he wouldn't change it. Dyche will also have known that.Time will tell if it matters. For me, the right idea would be to have dropped Shelvey and brought Willock in to increase mobility.

Clearly Wilsom/ASM not fit to start, which is fine.

 

Exactly they're not playing.

On a separate note are we saving our best players for games we can't win at full strength anyway?

 

We'll get beat... Tottenham didn't like the direct ****e, but Burnley are made for it

 

They are not match fit.
I will go with Bruce on this one.

Only disillusioning thing is Shelvey in instead of Willock

 

It's a ****e side we're getting best here.

Unless by some miracle we're only 1 down with 20 to go and the subs get a goal

 

Predictable lineup but glad that Murphy is in for Krafth, at least.

Like most, I'd have preferred Willock in place of Shelvey. Imagine the energy of that middle three! Burnley would know they are in a game, whilst getting stretched wide too.

Fair enough if ASM and Wilson aren't fully fit but we only get three subs. If we have to make a defensive change because of injury you'd only then be able to bring on two of ASM, Wilson and Willock.

Anyway, just had a delivery of Belgian beers in, and have done the gardening over the week. All settled to get bitten by gnats, drunk, and watch us lose 1-0 to Burnley.

 

Apart from Willock who would you have in considering ASM/Wilson are clearly not fit?

 

This was the have to go for it, but we're not doing it.

Burnley will piss this.. No legs in midfield they're going to trample all over us

 

I'd have played them both.. Match fit or not this is it today.

 

I am concerned that he is effectively using the lack of match fitness for Wilson and St Maximin as an excuse to set out defensively and once we get into that mindset we find it very difficult to get out of it. To be honest I would have definitely started both St Maximin and Willock. St Maximin had game time the previous weekend and whole week of training after that so there is no way he is not match fit.

This is a game that we require lots of energy and I would have gone with Willock as @JulioGeordio90 said.

 

They've trained

They've trained for 2 weeks.. Bruce has just rolled with never change a side that didn't get beat rule I feel.

If we're 0-0 with 20 left he'll bring them on so it might work, but if it doesn't he's made a huge huge mistake

 

If it's not working he can bring them on at ht, ASM, Wilson and Willock but he won't he'll leave it till the 80th minute, more worrying is Carroll on the bench.

 

I don't know what Bruce's waiting for?

Is he targeting 3 points from man City instead?

 

Has he ever made a sub at half-time if nobody is injured?

 

He prefers being one of the other dwarves, Grumpy.

 

Doubt it and Rafa was the same.

 

Another thing is that we can forget willock wanting to stay because he didn't leave he bench at arsenal to not play here.

We're stuck with baldy for years

 

what position does Charnley play ??

 

60 and 74 minutes as per Bruce’s usual timeframe
