Cash is much better than Elmo! Isn't Barkley out? Ok maybe I’m being overly negative on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash is great but I'm a big fan of Elmo too. I think he's really underrated. Hopefully Barkley will be back. He could make the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted December 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2020 Can see a lot of their players getting booked, as that’s the only way they know how to play football. The bunch of thugs. They’ve taken stoke’s crown in that regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially not this season, in any fixture, not even Man City. Would you have took a point before Liverpool, Leicester, Arsenal and Wolves? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry Mee will be looking to make a mark on our players again, more than a mark on the game. He makes Vinny Jones look innocent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point wouldn't be the end of the world tonight either, would mean we stop the rot of continuously getting turned over at our place for a start. We should have the beating of them, but we had the beating of West Ham and played them off the park and got nothing, we were the better team against Brighton and Southampton too. I'd argue we played better in those games than the Wolves game as well. A point in those 3 games and we'd be 7th right now with 3 games in hand on the teams around us. A points a point, we NEVER go out and play for a draw under Smith and I'm all for that attitude but still, if you can't win it, don't lose it.

It was our go to result for months. "We's going very well, 4 unbeaten." Ye you've got 4 points from last 12, well done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youd took a point before those four we would be right in the relegation mix with Burnley, Fulham and Brighton. Tonight would be seen as a six pointer, with huge pressure. I don't think losing games matters as long as you're roughly winning an equal amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says something about modern football that there are so many VAR related bets on the betting websites, and that those bets all sound so appealing!

Are all penalties VAR penalties because of the review or is it only ones that weren't initially given by the ref? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Conor played well in the deep lying playmaker role in the Championship. But Nakamba is the more defensive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadridVilla Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I hope we have learnt from the Brighton game that we need to take the game to these sides when we're at home. We were great at it against Wolves, and I think with the same tactics we can win this one also. Yes this is a potential banana skin but Burnley are not as bad as their league position would suggest, perhaps they've been slow starters but they will be tough to beat. I think having Barkley back if he's fit will be absolutely vital, as we will have to get creative to break down a side that is well-organised at the back. Time to show we can win consistently, as it's been up and down for the last 2 months or so. 2-0 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I think we'll football them into such a fury that Ben Mee will explode in the 73rd minute and the game will be called off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Would be a huge boost to see Barkleys name on that teamsheet @ 5pm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
