The Fun Factory Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It says something about the money in the premier league that Burnley are going to be bought for 200 million. 200 milion! They have a tiny catchment area and if the got relegated they could easily slip down the league again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Fred or elmo? Smith will pick elmo i think, which surprises me as fred was mostly 1st choice last year. Who replaces doug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Davis be fit? It’d be interesting to see him and Watkins paired up against an anti-football Burnley side. We’ve no Matty Cash or Douglas Luiz for this one, so I would be tempted to look at a 3-5-2 for a limited but physical Burnley team. Starting lineup could look like; ........................Martinez....................... .......Konsa.........Mings.........Hause....... Trez....SJM..Nakamba...Barkley...AEG ......................Grealish............................ .....................Watkins.......................... No chance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll need the aerial presence of Hause. I'd probably go Elmo and Targett as wingbacks though. If it's not working then there's loads of ways we can change up to keep Burnley guessing with AEG, Traore and Trez on the bench. I expect we'll end up sticking with the winning system we have, but regret it a but when we're getting pumped with crosses. Elmo or Fred in for Cash, Conor or Marv in for Doug, and personally I'd give El Ghazi a shot for Traore. He just earned it.

I think I'd rest Barkley and stick with Ramsey. I'd also get Trez on for Traore. Will be interesting to see how Nakamba does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how Nakamba does. The midfield is interesting with Ramsey becoming a genuine contender for a place. The back up three; Hourihane, Nakamba and Ramsey doesn't have an obvious lead candidate. What's happening with Trez, does anyone know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though, I think it’ll be Elmo at RB, even though I do rate Fred. We’re a bit stuck for the Luiz replacement, other than Nakamba I can’t see anyone else coming in.

I can see how it might not make sense. I'm surprised that fred isnt first choice (between him and elmo) in smiths eyes.seeing as fred got more game time last year. I also rate fred a lot more than elmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 If we hadn’t lost Luiz to suspension I’d also keep Barkley on the bench but we need him now alongside McGinn. the question is who replaces Dougie L? Either Nakamba or Hourihane are more likely and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Hourihane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Nakamba played well in this fixture last season it a game that will suit him imo but think we need Barkley to start hope nobody gets injured this time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
