Be nice if someone just messed up against us for once. You know a red card tackle, silly challenge for a pen, stupid handball etc. goalkeeping error. Sick of seeing average teams defend perfectly against us and then curl in any half chance we give them only to watch them a week later just an elf implode for no reason and gift someone a game.
 

Dyche does not like change much. TBH if we come out of the blocks the way we did against the barcodes then we could do well here,
I think Dyche will go with his prefered XI if available.

Pickford
Coleman - Tarkowski - Keane - Mykolenko
Iwobi - Gana - Onana - McNeil
Doucoure
Calvert-Lewin

Subs:
(in order of chances of getting on the pitch) Grey - Simms - Patterson - Maupay- Garner - Coady - Davies - Godfrey - Begovic - Mina
 
What a game this was last year. Fans as always were absolutely amazing. Wish I could be there tomorrow but I’ve got no doubt that every single one of you will give it everything for the cause.

Bring it.

We beat Leeds because their keeper is poor

Leicester are prime candidates for this I think. Their CBs are very capable of a dodgy back pass, or a clumsy stumble resulting in dragging someone whose clean though. I hope we try and shape them into uncomfortable areas. We need to go back to exactly how our early corners were too. Back post over the keeper to Tarks every time and be fully alert for scraps.

We just need to get the ball in and around their box and pounce on anything, and stop missing. They have the potential to counter attack us a new arsehole though, which has been one of our (many many many) weaknesses the last few weeks, particularly when we’ve been on top.

Could be like a really really crappy game of chess/pinball between two drunk lunatics. The few strengths each team have is the exact thing the other side is bad at defending against.

Will fume if they score one and we just cry and fold again. Must keep going as they will defo concede if we at least try. Going to be very stressful.

Got horrible feeling you might be right. Other night against newcastle i had the same feeling that no matter when it was callum wilson would slot against us. Same here with maddison. Can see him on the edge of the box opening us up.
Is kicking the sh!t out of him to harsh?

One positive is that Leeds went there and could have beaten them and they’re as bad away from home as we are.

Love that you rate Begovic more likely to play than Mina. Either way this is likely it. Hope we don't see Godfrey at least and otherwise it's just up to us to show up and do the job. Gonna be a hard game no doubt but that's what finals are like anyway. No excuses, coyb. Lose this and relegation is a certainty.
