[Dubai Blue]

lol

Fair doos to Burnley - 10 of their XI are British.

 

[Ring master]

lol

Bit odd maybe

we have had more games on Dec 26th than on any other date in the calendar!

- in all, we’ve played 91 times on Boxing Day (all in the League) with a W41 D22 L28 record
- that’s way more matches than our second most played date - Jan with 59 outings
third on the list, surprisingly, is xmas day

we have also lost our last 2 boxing day home games lol,v stoke and sunderland both 1-0 to 1st half pens if you remember them lol

sticking to 2-0 or 3-1 Everton

I get that but our whole team has been awful this season in attack besides Richarlison, and you cant argue that Sig can strike a clean ball without falling over.

Yeh sometimes but saying dropping him loses us goals when he never scores doesn’t really make much sense.

 

[sageyefc]

Clean slate for everyone today lads.

Let's be positive.

Hope not, a lot of them are still the same shithouses that have let us and multiple managers down for years now, hope we don’t forget and bin them as soon as possible

I never said it loses us goals as such, I said he can strike a clean ball and is better than the alternatives, and although he's been awful this season id rather a ball fell to him than davies around the box.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Outside of the wee-soaked shark meat eating fraud I’m ok with that lineup.

a non-exhausted Davies would have been better in his place.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Midfield will be key today - wonder if we can outhustle them?

Yeh you did.

 

[Nymzee]

Gonna be header city this from both sides.

 

[Blue Roo]

Sidibe for Davies, Bernard for Iwobi - what's not to like?

 

[Mikey O]

Ancelotti can only work with the players that are available but I'm surprised with the Coleman / Sidibe selection and if Siggi plays in the middle with Delph. Looking forward to the game and seeing how this all works out. COYB

 

[ProZ]

Yeh you did.

Fair enough, still true though, he's more likely than Davies to score which is the alternative in my opinion.

 

[Deco]

Well balanced team to match a hard working Burnley side.

Sidibe at right mid is an interesting shout. He’s been so good going forward and our lack of good wide players gives him an opportunity to get crosses into Richarlison.

Hopefully Kean gets some more game time today, needs to keep playing and get that one goal under his belt.

Keane being dropped again is telling too - Holgate and Mina are our best pair and we’re much less mistake prone with Keane out of the side.
