Burnley (a) pre-match thread

[Matt the Giant]

This is our hardest fixture left on paper.

Is it though? I fear Brenda and his Leicester a bit more personally. Then again, we play them at home and SHOULD beat them.

Fuck... it feels as if every game remaining is a 50-50 win/loose.

We are at a point that we need to convert every chance we get. Nervousness could creep in if we don't do that. Hopefully Aguero is in sharp form.

Ruthless, full strength city are a different beast to rotated city with Delph and Mahrez. I honestly am so calm and confident that we'll win all 3. Never had this feeling before :)

Absolute opposite to me then.

Well, i'm personally shitting bricks over each of our remaining games.
I think we'll do it though.
Burnley 1 City 2 or 3

 

[sweeps feet]

Absolutely!

Whether or not you agree with the agenda theories, nobody can argue that the media aren't desperate for them to win it, so that they can pronounce them "the greatest team in history".
After all, they've already started to say that even if they finish second they will go down as the "unluckiest team in history"!

Hopefully they will still be saying that in 20 years time all about istory to them

Yes it has supposed to have improved a fair bit by Sunday. This should allow us to pass the ball a bit better and for it not to swirl about too much in the air if the wind drops. Still expecting a tough physical game in the part of the country time forgot.

doesnt matter what the uk weather is forecast to be, up in skull island is going to be cold, wet, foggy and windy..... with a big ginger ape on the sidelines!!

Same as the previous few weeks. Must win game.

Burnley are safe from relegation. They have the 4th worst defensive record in the division.

Of their 17 home games they haven’t won 10 of them and there are only 6 teams with worse home records.

All this ‘tough game’ bollocks is exactly that - bollocks.

Any team worth their salt chasing a title goes there and comes back with 3 points.

And we will.

Shudder, as I read that last bit for some reason my head read it in the voice of that cvnt Tyler (and its’ live).

Distressing...

I can't stand Dyche, the croaking cvnt.

You’re Mrs Dyche and I claim my £5.

Wish this was today,i want to get on with it,confident

Need an early goal or two in this one to calm everyone down and put the game to bed hopefully

I feel if we beat Burnley, Liverpool will wobble and could be beaten at Newcastle. We could win the title at home v Leicester. That’s how close it is. However, must min tomorrow.

Gutted. Should be able to cope though as it’s an aerial assault were likely to encounter if we encounter an assault at all.

Keep the ball for long periods as normal and take our chances.

I’m quite confident we’ll win this without any issues.

I know you're talking sense but I wish I could be as confident-nervous wreck at the moment.

 

[ancoats]

burnley will be a hard game and like the race in the run its just get the 3 points on the board and move on forget style and grace winning ugly also works

am a respect every team you play ?? and never count your chickens from a bunch of eggs and burnley or united treat the game the same work hard and play the game in the right way and earn the right to win then nobody can question your game

Aye 3 nil up in first 20mins would suit me lol

Tomorrow’s match is season defining for he. It is almost a perfect storm for Liverpool- we’re away at a windswept Turf Moor against a Burnley side that’s in great form with a record of beating the champions, without KDB and Fernandinho and off the back of possibly the most intense month in years.

If we’re going to drop points tomorrow is the day. If we win tomorrow the pressure will be back on Liverpool. 4 more matches as against our 2, 2 of them against Barca. Our remaining league fixtures are similar- both away to teams in the bottom half that are defensively good with decent managers and both home to decent sides chasing 7th. The season rests on tomorrow’s match for me.

Hopefully we’ll see Silva, Bernardo and Gundogan in similar form to Wednesday night. If those 3 are at their best we win. It’s a match we need to play smart, control the ball from the first minute and make sure the home crowd have nothing to cheer. We must take our chances- no misses like Raheem’s there last year.
