markjazzbassist Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm excited for this, hope to continue the winning ways from the villa match. 3 points or bust for me, they are a championship level team and will most likely be playing their trade there again next season. Best 11 available after the Europa match, here's what I think we will see Howard Coleman Alcaraz Jags Baines McCarthy Barry Naismith Barkley Osman Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah, 5 or 6 changes again I reckon. I'm not sure that Barkley will start but I guess it depends on how he recovers over the coming days. He was knackered with a while to go in Lille. I know he's young etc but 3 games in a week straight after a lay off??? Hmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'd love Burnley to turn it around and stay up (unlikely) but whatever XI we put out should be enough to beat them. Last minute loss to a Jukebox goal haunts me though; we've lost the last two post Europa games . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best 11 available after the Europa match, here's what I think we will see Howard Coleman Alcaraz Jags Baines McCarthy Barry Naismith Barkley Osman Lukaku Can't see Barry or Barkley starting this one after both playing the previous two. Besic and Pienaar in for them with a cameo from Ross in the last half hour. Maybe missed something with Alcaraz but I couldn't really see why he was left out for the Europa game and would like to see the centre backs play together as often as possible. Otherwise I think the above is probably are strongest available line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Maybe missed something with Alcaraz but I couldn't really see why he was left out for the Europa game Probably because he's made of glass and Martinez wants him for the league game. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I think the above is probably are strongest available line up. you're probably right about barry and barkley, i think besic (or maybe gibson) we might see. pienaar looked rough yesterday, i'd rather see osman and have atsu start or something. Probably because he's made of glass and Martinez wants him for the league game. exactly, i think distin has been relegated to cup matches and europa league this year. it will be antolin (who did really well) and jags until stones gets back.

Romey 1878 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 If we're to win this it'll be a case of grinding out the victory I reckon. It won't be a straightforward win by any means. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to do it somehow though; if we don't win this we can pretty much write off any points from post-Europa matches for the rest of the season.

Elston Gunnn Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'll guess it'll be -- ........................... Howard .......................... Coleman .... Alcaraz .... Jagielka .... Baines .............. McCarthy ........... Gibson ............. Atsu ................. Naismith ............... Osman .......................... Lukaku ............................ Subs used 2d half -- if behind, Barkley, Eto'o, Pienaar/McGeady; if ahead, Besic, P/McG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Angel Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I heard some predictions from pundits on the radio today saying thathet can see a convincing win for us with more than two goals. I don't think anyone watches us apart from opposition supporters and our own fans. We had all of two shots against lille. Carry on like this and I can't see us beating anyone convincingly for the remainder of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 We created enough opportunities in the game to see them off comfortably but didn't finish them off. It's not like we didn't create any chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsunyc Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 i just long for the day we have rom, mirallas, barkley, coleman in the lineup at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 i just long for the day we have rom, mirallas, barkley, coleman in the lineup at the same time... But by then Baines, Barry and McCarthy will all have knocks I'm sure Mmwe have been defending so much better the last 2 weeks, and it's no surprise Jag's form has been instrumental to that.. Clean sheet & 2 goals (atleast 1 for Rom to keep his confidence) would be perfect result.. Win here and I can see us going on a good 8-10 undefeated streak!!

BlueBlood81 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 They are shit & can't score to save their lives.

Matt Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm thinking we will be countering. They are desperate for a win, home pressure, etc. break with pace and let them have the ball until the final 3rd then hound them and pounce.

Paddock Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Can't wait for this one tomorrow. First away this season I was starting to think I was jinxed for aways this season. Let down last minute on Liecester tickets, missed out West Brom had tickets for the Derby and Old Trafford but was working those days and couldn't get the time off. Got the tickets in my possesion for this one coach booked ... COYFBB!!! Love the away days best games to go to by a country mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I hope Barkley doesn't get a start tomorrow, the last thing I want to do is rush him and with all due respect to Burnley this is a game I believe we can afford to drop him. Lukaku hasn't really looked 100% fit this season because RM wont sit him out of PL matches. I'd like to see Ross come back into the squad as fit as he could be. Burnley have struggled this season, having not won a game home or away. Moreover, only scoring 4 goals in 8 games. We need to go all out at them tomorrow, 1 point wont be good enough against a side in this current form. Id like to see Coleman back in the starting line up along with McCarthey, Lukaku and Pienaar to start again, I think he'd do well in a game like this. I'll be upset without 3 point here tomorrow boys! Come on Bobby lets put a few past em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I would start Eto'o tomorrow. Howard Coleman Jags Distin Baines McCarthy Besic Eto'o Naismith Pienaar Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Do your boys go with you to aways? Only the oldest. The youngest has just completely given up . He just doesn't like football. My oldest would be heartbroken if I went without him I'd never go to a game without him. If he can't go then I don't either. We go together or not at all.

Brett Angel Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Just seen the league after today. Only three points can be expected tomorrow. If we fail in achieving anything other than three points we are going to be left behind. MC11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Fancy us tomorrow. 4-0 win. Lukaku 2, Osman 1 and Eto'o. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Burnley don't tend to enjoy much possession so far this season. Combine that with our high possession game and we should come out with 65-70% possession. Although we have to do something with it. Burnley do create chances, but struggle to put them away. They've only scored 4 so far and have mostly played mid to bottom half teams. And I think we have found some more of our defensive solidity from last season. We know we create chances and we can put them away. We should be aiming for a clean sheet and 2 or 3 goals. Whatever team we put out should be capable of this. I'm not concerned by a 'European hangover' as we have several players back from injury and can make 5 or 6 changes to accommodate the extra fixtures. Whereas in the earlier euro games, we didn't have this luxury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
