As far as bizarre lineups go, that’s up there.

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread

I just feel like not following the game, just checking in around 3:00 to see how we did.
My heart won't let me though.

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
How benson can not get in that starting eleven is truly a modern day mystery.
That’s got to be up there with one of the worst starting elevens I’ve seen us field at this level.
Probably go an win now haha

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
No wonder why our team has no consistency, he expects the players to learn a new system every week.

Bruun Larsen as the number 10 behind Fofana?
I am at least glad to see some change, but interesting to see how he has set yhis one up.

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
Watching the game onboard the P&O Aurora - heading to the Azores - fortunately the sound is off at the moment so I don’t have to listen to Owen and Scholes talking about the bloody Manchester derby ! UTC !!
Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
At home. Against Bournemouth. We have moved to 5 at the back.
Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
More likely to be 4-2-3-1 I'd say but who knows. Brun Larsen playing off Fofana with Vitinho and Odobert wider.

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
In a must win game- he fields an X1 that looks to be set up to try not to lose. Baffling
Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
Assignon on the wing maybe. He kept appearing there last week which the wingers didn't seem to be expecting.
Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
Vitinho has gone from being Championship back-up to Premier League starter without having made any improvements and having poor game after poor game for about six months. It's bizarre. His constant selection is making me think I know nothing about football, hey maybe I do.
Buzzing there's no Amdouni though. About three months too late.

Any ideas on the system. Beginning to look like throwing sh*t at a wall and seeing if some of it sticks.

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
Wondered this too. He might sit Vitty back and push Assignon forward. Bruun Larsen has to be either upfront with Fofana or just in behind, he can't be on the wing with this line up, unless we have gone 5 at the back.

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
I would guess it's either 5 at the back with Taylor CB Vitinho LB, because why not have 2 players out of position, or 442/4411 with Vitinho at RM and Brun Larsen at ST/CF because why not have 2 players out of position (even if I do think Larsen on paper has the attributes for a deep forward, it's not worked in practice so far). Maybe 4231 with Larsen CAM.burnleymik wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 12:02 pmAnyone work out that set up? 5 at the back? Can't see where Vitinho fits in
That is a baffling and uninspiring lineup to say the least.

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
It’s a tired record but keeping Trafford in the nets is a continuing decision that’s now bordering on unbelievable. The lad is under so much pressure - v poor management.
Vitinho on the wing is…inexplicable. If it’s actually five at the back, even more so.

Vitinho had a couple of decent games a few months ago but has by and large struggled yes.Pickles wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 12:10 pmVitinho has gone from being Championship back-up to Premier League starter without having made any improvements and having poor game after poor game for about six months.

But I feel sorry for him when he's several times been a rightback getting swapped to leftback, and isn't the most defensively capable yet keeps being put behind Odobert who simply doesn't do ANY defensive work. He's playing badly but that's setting him up to fail, basically guarantees vulnerability on the left.

Micah Richards trying to defend Vincent and the team.
Roy Keane joins in the conversation and tells it exactly how it is. We are dreadful and Vincent being an ex world class centre half should be seeing the glaring problems with the defence and the goals we are giving away - schoolboy stuff.

It almost makes you long for the days of Dyche picking the same 11 for months on end. Almost.

Amdouni is not starting so maybe he's learning. Baby steps...
Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
Well at least Vinny has mixed it up slightly, and that is good to see. Will it be enough. We 'should' be looking at 3 points here

Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
His logic is "Everyone else is injured or not playing as much as him".
It's pretty poor reasoning honestly. Him saying he's not part of why we're where we are shows he has never watched Trafford play and just goes off the number of games stat. I do think Trafford will be a good keeper if he's not ruined early, but he has cost us a lot of goals and points and has had probably around 250 minutes of good football all season, 300 if I'm being generous.
Re: Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread
Trafford is a brilliant GK playing behind a tactical shambles.
He will be #1 for England for years.
Colours nailed to the mast!
