Burnley (h) pre-match thread (22/06/2020)

Fair to say we are lacking pace today, difficult for us to name a slower 11! The speed merchants could be great subs to have.

Burnley will defend deep with 10 behind the ball which is probably why Pep has chosen a team with more skill than pace

Makes it interesting. Great to see Phil start. Completely different dynamic to the team.

So just the 8 changes from Arsenal then! I think that's a good lineup all things considered, lack of pace shouldn't be an issue considering Burnley will no doubt be sitting deep the majority of the match. Pep should be able to pick anyone he wants for Chelsea.

They’re struggling. No Wood or Barnes.

He was obviously talking bollox haha

7. That's not 8,9 or 10 ;-)

As an aside, we've made 8 changes, and yet look how strong the team still is.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Just the 8 then

Only see 7.

Shame if Phil has to play on the left as he’s completely wasted out there and far less effective. Mind you the same could be said if Bernardo gets stuck out there too.

Not a bad line up, that. Should be good enough to collect the three points tonight.
