BOF Posted May 4, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2022 Anyone know if Burnley's (lack of) style has changed since dumping Dyche? I've not seen them. Their results have certainly changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their results have certainly changed. My theory with Burnley are they are currently going through the normal honeymoon period after ditching a rigid and defensive manager. My theory is teams that are stuck in a rut under a manager that is too defensive or rigid in tactics are mostly demotivated and devoid of ideas. Think of us under Lambert, Palace under Warnock, Newcastle under Bruce. When a new manager comes in all they have to do is take off those shackles and they get an immediate bounce from the team. Sherwood with Villa, Pardew with Palace, Howe with Newcastle. I think that's what's happening with burnely. So they're playing a slightly more free and attacking style. It won't last, but they're probably quite dangerous at the moment. Although by all accounts they were absolutely shit against Watford. Watford fans are fuming that they lost that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read they are playing a bit more slower on the ball and swapped McNeil onto the right wing to cut in to cause damage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I don't see this being a game, we will be comfortable with....so not expecting much. I don't want Burnley, Everton or Leeds to go down, its such a bitter pill to swallow, but its likely one of them will. as long as we don't lose to Burnley, they can't catch us. I wouldn't like to call the 3rd place relegation candidate as its so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Can't see us doing much if we concede early from a set piece. They'll just sit back and nullify us as usual so expecting a 2-1 defeat here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting… I would kind of like them all to go! But I never like to wish relegation on (almost!) any club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 We should be looking to win this because we need to finish this season as strongly as possible. We dominated both games against Burnley last season and got 1 point, need to ensure that doesn't happen again. Surely Burnley can't win four games in a row, very few teams manage that in this league, but we can be such an ever obliging team. First things first match them for work rate and be up for a battle because it will be one. I hope the ref ensures they don't get away with any dirty tackles. We should be looking at 7-9 points from Burnley x 2 and Palace so that we give ourselves a chance of finishing higher than last season. Anything against Plop and City is a bonus. A draw at Burnley wouldn't necessarily be a bad result if we can beat them at home but we could really do with winning before the Liverpool game.

Talldarkandransome Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 They have pulled out some results since getting rid of Dyche (which at the time I thought was a mistake) and this will be a tough game. Not gonna be drawn into predictions but 2-0 Villa, Watkins to lose the ball and Ings to get a tattoo at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 My hopes of Newcastle Everton and Leeds all getting relegated ( to weaken the league next season as they all spend loads) was shattered, I can only hope and prey Leeds or Everton take the drop. While I want a villa win in pretty much every circumstance known to man, if Leeds and Everton lose and we do, the pill will be less difficult to swallow. Going for a 3-0 win, we need to play decent for a whole game at some point this season and I'm hoping it is tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 This game could go a long way to either relegating Burnley or retaining their Premier League status. Over the few weeks I think the obvious approach when playing them is “desire”. I really hope we win the battle early on to play our own game and not find our backs to the wall because we don’t fancy it. They’ll fight for sure, but we surely have the better quality. A strong finish to the season will do us the world of good and seeing the Norwich game play out, I think Gerrard will now go with Watkins and Ings up top. Iroegbunam made a really promising debut last week, but I’m not sure if Turf Moor is the right place to give him his second start. Gerrard team: Martinez Cash Chambers Mings Digne McGinn Luiz Ramsey Coutinho Watkins Ings My team: Martinez Cash Chambers Mings Digne Luiz McGinn Ramsey Buendia Watkins Coutinho Whatever team Gerrard starts with, I’d like to see Buendia, Iroegbunam and Nakamba get some minutes again on the pitch. Going to say a very ugly 1-2 win. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
