If we can't defend a championship team with 2 centerbacks we have far bigger problems.

That's exactly what I was thinking during the game. Honestly I didn't start worrying til I saw the pictures of the tackle. He look so calm. When I tore my ligaments I would have cut my leg off if given the choice. It hurt that bad.

Yep I don't even look at other team results. Just focus on our results and performances. Last 2 seasons 35 points was enough for safety. It's looking like it's going to be at least 40 this time. So that's 5 more wins and 4 draws out of the next 17. Doable but no easy task. Really hope mcginn doesn't have any setbacks in his recovery. Have to get this window right.

Kodija's NYE party must have been amazing. Had to be hungover. No one is that lazy.

If Wesley plays again in 2020 it will be a miracle. Big boys like him take a lot longer to recover from ligament tears as well. Now we can't sell Kodija and we are gonna have to get this new striker choice spot on.

All of them look comfortable except for Hause who had some issues when placed under pressure. I would feel more comfortable with a Konsa, Engels, Mings back line and Hause as the first alternate. Another thing to like about the back 3. Nakamba and Douglas looked good together. They never did with the 4-3-3. Another reason we were pretty solid for most of the game.

**** that's his ligaments right there. We will be lucky if it's just a sprain.

At his age it may be a strength thing. Sometimes it's not about out jumping your opponent and more just being strong enough to hold your ground. Right now it's far to easy to displace him.

Woods gave him a small push but he need's to be stronger. His aerial game definitely isn't his strong suit but it's a joy to watch him carry the ball out the back.

Brentford lost to Milwall 2 days ago. Also, why are we talking about Brentford.

Thank you. Phrased it much better than I could. We still don't have a full 18 of quality players. Just want to mention that's the 2nd 1 goal margin game we have closed out successfully. Besides the corner Burnley did nothing in the last 15 minutes.

Honestly the way the defender came through his planted leg I would lean towards some kind of knee injury. He didn't look like he was in to much distress so hopefully just precautionary. At least that's what I'm telling myself to feel better.

Landed wrong during Burnley's goal. Twisted his knee. Given that he had torn an ACL before I really hope it's only a twist.

Fully agree. Outside of Pool and ManC no one is playing better. I woke up everyone in my house with that second goal. I'm trying to think of another goal he's lashed in like that. One isn't coming to mind. Just shows how he still has more to show.

I usually ignore you but pissing on a performance like that is so annoying. How is Smith supposed to change it? El Ghazi has been poor, he brought on Kodija and we went down to 10 men. What is Smith to do? You had enough fun these last couple games let us enjoy this one.

Really didn't see that. Burnley went all out attack. Of course we are gonna be on the back foot. We had a clear cut chance to go up 3 within 5 minutes. We just didn't take our chances in the 2nd half. Honestly we just don't have the pace to play on the counter. Hopefully we address that this month.

A little more solid every game. More of the same Douglas.

You could tell he didn't have all his pace available but he was a rock just like always. Love the big man. We look so much more solid with him back there.

That pass to Luiz in the build up to the second was sublime. That injury looked bad in slow motion. Please don't be out long kodija is .

Yep, whatever Turkish side wants him needs to hurry up already. The American announcers were questioning his fitness even though he came on with 3/4 of the game gone. Dude is just lazy.

Fair play to Dean and everyone on here who called for 3 in the back. In the future a Konsa, Engels, and Ming's back line is a rock for away games. Also you could tell Ming's isnt completely healed from that hamstring but he gutted it out for the full 90. Love the big man.

Yeah that's the one I don't get. Why is Wesley immune to rotation. What will it take for Kodija to get a look.

Yeah it was really startling to see how nervous we were versus Norwich. What happened to that team that was putting in performances win or lose? One point was Mings going down. He was a big loss as alot of our possession started with him winning the ball and not hoofing it up field at the first sign of pressure. Another, is just how young we are. I didn't think it would matter all that much but imagine what would have happened to our team spirit if we took a 9-0 loss. Southampton had the nous and experience to shake that off and keep grinding out results. It's the main reason why Chelsea are so up and down this year. This is why I hope we go the experience route this transfer window. I think our talent levels are high enough to stay in the Prem. It's our know how and fire that seem to be lacking.

Not just his defense but without him our ability to build out the back is practically nil. He is our second best player by far. Also, notice how much hate Target has been getting now that his security blanket has been missing. Ming's returns, we sign a new striker and winger and I think we push back up the table.
