We’re thin but would be hugely disappointed not to win.

 

[Seathestars]

Nothing but a win here, otherwise it will be disappointing.
Will also put another nail in their coffin.
What is going on with them suing us, does anyone know.

We will get a pen

We are overdue one in an away game.Not had one since Brighton in Jan - Ndiaye has scored out last 4

 

[knowing your history]

Broja was unlucky not to score when he came on as sub v Palace, although that was as much an error by Henderson. I was at that game, Burnley were poor. I said then and I'll say it again that we should be putting 3 past them.
And Kyle Walker wasn't any great shakes. In fact the Burnley crowd were taking the pee out of him for his attempts at a long throw, landing just inside the penalty box.
0 - 3 to Everton.

Burnley really struggle to score so that's the main reason they're going back down bar some miracle January signings but they don't strike me as a team who'll concede three on regular basis as Parker just puts ten behind the ball so much.

You say you were at the Palace game, did Palace just give up attacking after going 1-0 up as they certainly have the players in final third to put a few more past Burnley.

I think Moyes will aim for the same here, 1-0 off a set piece or quality attack involving Grealish and then shut up shop and get out with three points.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Craig Pawson ref yet again!! He’s not just awful we lose every game with him in charge

Fourth time this season too with cup tie included.. what are the odds of that??

Tbh Palace weren't any great shakes either in that game. Their goal was really quite simple, aided by poor defending. I thought Palace would have brought more to the game but I guess they did what they needed to do for the 3 points.

This has nil nil written all over it.

Our bogey ref 4 times already….. if I didn’t know better it may be a conspiracy by the fa

Grudge match vs the litigants in chief.
Have to beat these.
Actually be quite ironic if we won by a dodgy penalty or something like that.

 

[mccole]

I just cannot stomach both Mykolenko AND O'Brien as full backs Due to complete lack of options, I would move Garner to right back in place for Rohl. Garner will be better equipped to support Dibling on the overlap too.

I want to see some more balance to the side and start these bench bit part players like Rohl, Dibling and potentially Patterson.

I would support McNeil back on the left too because let's face it we have nowhere else to play him and Alcaraz just isn't my cup of tea. Moving McNeil to the left will finally give Grealish a go in the No 10 role I think he will be perfect for.

Barry HAS to take his chances here because he will get them v Burnley.

Moyes will never do this because he does trust his squad but injuries and AFCON means he had to and given our lack of goals in the squad he had to try something new.
