Foster hat trick !

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:07 pm

Moving Browny forward again. No real wingers. Be interesting to see how this works out.

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:07 pm

No Zaroury?

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:08 pm

Sadly no wingers

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:09 pm

Hope Zarourys injury is minor butthat is a tough looking side for tonights game.
No Ekdal or Al Dahkil on the bench is a worry. Al Dahkil was immense on Friday.
COYC.

I reckon Foster will play wide left

equinox · Post by **equinox** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:11 pm

Strange line up.

Roosterbooster · Post by **Roosterbooster** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:12 pm

.................Muric
...........THB......Beyer
Roberts ................Maatsen
............Cork Cullen
.......Brownhill ....Tella
.....................Barnes
............Foster

Is my best guess

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:12 pm

Tella can be as good a winger as anyone.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:12 pm

Clearly a bunch of injuries or illness. Would hate us to lose our unbeaten home record

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:13 pm

Evening, All.
Interesting line up.

Looking forward to this one.
Hope it's a classic.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

Petersa · Post by **Petersa** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:15 pm

No Ekdal or Al Dakhill...very surprised!

Roosterbooster · Post by **Roosterbooster** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:15 pm

Or....

.................Muric
...........THB......Beyer
Roberts ................Maatsen
............Cork Cullen
.............Brownhill
................Barnes
........Tella............Foster

Always slightly surprised by line ups lately. One thing for sure, results have justified any of them.

wbfc · Post by **wbfc** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:19 pm

Could play Barnes behind Tella and Foster ....hope Foster starts to look something right soon ...nothing much from either him or Obafemi yet ...

Need to start fast ....

Evening all from what has been a very mixed day of sunshine and showers , so on that score hope the sun shines for the Clarets and the showers get a tubbing

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:20 pm

I think it’s a Liverpool style 4-3-3

It will be to combat their three at the back and pull their centre halves out of position and hopefully create one on ones/two on ones for our forwards

Good to see we have a bit more height in the side as well - should be good at set pieces

COME ON YOU CLARETS!!!

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:21 pm

Tella and Fosters pace on each side could cause them problems. Making sure we win the midfield battle, which seems sensible.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:21 pm

Surprised nobody has commented on Cork's return, Benson and JBG both on the bench as wide options, but no Zaroury is a blow if not a huge surprise given the way he limped off at Boro.

whiffa · Post by **whiffa** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:24 pm

I think it would look more like this, pleased to see Cork come back into midfield - hopefully we'll have decent control with his addition.

.................Muric
...........THB......Beyer
Roberts.....Cork Cullen....Maatsen
...............Brownhill
...Tella........Barnes......Foster

Quite true......but still surprised by no Ekdal or Al Dakhill

Looks like Vinny's gone for a more physical approach to this game.

Yep Taylor on the bench as well looks like he is beefing the team up tonight.

Understandable given what happened 2md half at Bramall Lane, and perhaps another sign that Vinny is willing to learn from his mistakes and make the necessary changes.

3.00am kick off again here in the Philippines and a pleasant 24 degrees atm.

Come on you Clarets!!!!!!

Woonderbah · Post by **Woonderbah** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:40 pm

Hopefully Sheff have been training to play against our usual wide players and this might catch them out.. I want us to play our normal passing game tho.. should be a good test

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:42 pm

Hoping for Aye Aye Ashley ringing round the ground from the first minute.

HB Claret · Post by **HB Claret** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:49 pm

Watching again from Quern Mary 2 as we sail away from Namibia - (we are one hour ahead) UTC - got the distraction of a spot the famous intro music quiz too abd as looking at phones is frowned upon In hoping that Flash Score gives me good news !!

equinox · Post by **equinox** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:49 pm

Wouldn't be my starting team, hope VK's got it right because I really want to destroy these fu c£ers

Evening all sunshine and showers all day, interesting lineup alright, might be a bit of a battle.COYC

It's a team with Sheffield United very much in mind. More height to cope with the set piece issues which caused us so many problems at Sheffield earlier in the season

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:54 pm

Really don't get what's happened with Ekdal.
He's our best centre back from set pieces, Sheffield embarrassed us via set pieces at theirs, and he doesn't make the bench.
I know it's unpopular but I'd have him in over Bellis. I think at this level he makes us look more solid, composed and retaining possession, and Bellis had a mare against Sunderland.
Not confident with this lineup at all. Hopefully I'm wrong.

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:55 pm

You're wrong!

HunterST_BFC · Post by **HunterST_BFC** » Mon Apr 10, 2023 7:55 pm

Surprised Taylor is the defender on the bench instead of him. Perhaps Ekdal is injured

trust in VK, but I'm a little nervous about this "winger-less" line up - it's changed our shape

22 gone and we are very sloppy passing. Need to buck up.
