carew_villa Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have no idea why Sky chose this game to broadcast as it's not the most exciting game and Burnley have been terrible away from home all season and we should easily win. contractually, SKY have to show each team a minimum number of times each season. Dunno if it's 4 or 5 times each, something like that. Who would you rather see Burnley play against? Maybe at home to Blackburn If I had to watch Burnley play on Sky, I''d just choose to watch their home games as they look competitive in their home games. I know I'm sounding really optimistic but this is Burnley we're on about who haven't won away from home all season. None of their players worry me apart from Fletcher and I just can't see us not winning this one. Although I said that about Sunderland when they hadn't won away from home all season two seasons ago!

Ryan. Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 in no way shape or form should we play 4-5-1 at home to Burnley. -------------Friedel Young Ceullar Dunne Warnock A.Young Milner Petrov Downing -----------Fonz Gabby Although sadly MON will swap the Fonz for Carew.

Why not? 4-5-1 doesn't mean you sit back and defend!??! Just look at the start against United and how open we was. Look at the Arsenal game last year, 2-2. Bolton 4-2 etc...I know it was only Brighton but the way we played against Brighton with Milner and Delph bombing forward. Sorry but Barcelona play this formation everygame, Chelsea used too every game under Mourinho, Arsenal play this formation every game. I'd hardly say it's defensive would you?

OutByEaster? Posted February 16, 2010 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2010 It's important that we win and I think we will. 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yeah can't see anything but a win. Burnley have lost 12 out of 13 away and have conceded 38 in 13 games. If we don't beat these then....well yeah. We're useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would like to see this: Friedel Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock A.Young Milner Petrov Delph Downing Gabby However, I wouldn't play it as a 4-5-1. Ash, Milner, Delph, Downing would rotate up and play off of Gabby. It would basically be a 4-4-2 but the second forward rotating up from midfield. If for some reason it doesn't work and we need more attack, pull off whichever mid-fielder isn't having a good day and put the Fonz up top. I didn't say it would be good or would work... I just said I would like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if it's 4 or 5 times each, something like that. Who would you rather see Burnley play against? And there's also a limit to how many times a club can be shown, so they can't just show every away game the sky 4 play so every club has at least 4 appearances. There's also been some interesting picks by Sky this year, they've been showing a lot less of the usual bunch this year thus far in order to be able to show a lot of big games in the run-in. ESPN have also gotten a higher grade of game this year than Setanta got in past years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 4-5-1 = we play good football. 4-4-2 = we kick it up in the air too much and don't use our quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady08 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I can see us winning this one 2-0. Be great if we could score early as that will take a lot of pressure of the players as the fans will start to grow anxious the longer this game stays scoreless ( or god forbid we go behind). Can see Milner scoring in this one so fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V111A Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 If i had to pick id go for: Friedel L Young Cueller Dunne Warnock A Young Petrov Milner Downing Fonz Gabby (If Downing was to contnue his useless form, id change him with Delph and put milner on the right and ash on the left at halftime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (If Downing was to contnue his useless form, id change him with Delph and put milner on the right and ash on the left at halftime) Delph played out wide for Leeds. Wouldn't mind seeing him play as a winger and leave Jimmy in the middle if we had to make a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Really really really want to see Cuellar and Delph in for Collins and Downing. Can't see MON not playing Heskey if he is "fit"...before he goes off for his little rub down when there's nothing wrong with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Gotta win this 1. Although i don't agree with downing being dropped. Thought he played well on Sunday and the two assists will do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted February 18, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2010 Really really really want to see Cuellar and Delph in for Collins and Downing. I agree about Collins/Cuellar but for me Downing plays. He needs another good game (and perhaps a goal) to help propel him to a bit of form, and who better to get it against?

Rob182 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm with the "Downing plays" crowd. And Me! I think he had a few average games in January but he is a quality player who can pick a pass and I predict a goal from him against Burnley! Friedel L Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock A Young Milner Petrov Downing Heskey Gabby ^ I predict this squad from MON. I'd prefer to see Delph brought on at some point in the game and I'd prefer to see Fonz in Heskeys place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
