WHat minute do we make a defensive mistake? I say 20 minutes.

4

With that line up it proves koeman not got a clue
What his team is if we don't win he got to go
The Man is totally making it up on a day to day basis and clutching at straws

I'd be very surprised if we play 442.

 

[tsubaki]

Isn't that where he played for Swansea?

no

 

[Joey66]

Too much attacking intent there. Worried we'll leave Cuco and Williams exposed to any forward play by Burnley. Would rather lose the customary 3-0 than 5-0.

One up front DCL will be on one wing the Croatian lad on the other sig in the middle behind Niassie on his own upfront!

so would I - I think it will be Niasse up front, Siggy behind him and DCL / Vlasic on either side

 

[neil999]

I like it.

Hooray!

..tbh, I'm not overly bothered who plays as I'm more interested in where they play. If Niasse starts he has to play off DCL so he can exploit the space behind. My concern continues to be playing Sigurdsson on the left and Vlasic on the right when I think they are both more effective centrally.

Let's see how it plays out, good luck Blues.

Williams starts, so we managed to do that pre-kick-off.

 

[Seanjd]

Last roll of the dice for Koeman I feel.

Bet I am spot on

Siguurdson thrived off the left last season when he had a big front man in Llorente to hit

Davies for either of Gueye or Schneiderlin, Kenny for Martina and Holgate for Williams and that would be ideal for today.

Could be worse though, I'll take it as it's different to the usual we get.

TBH I'm not sure either Kenny or Holgate would have been an ideal pick for today, they are quite a strong aerial threat and I'd rather Williams challenging in the air than Holgate, Martina just had a bit more experience, also both did play Thursday. So right decision for me there. But Davies instead of Schneiderlin would have been a much better choice. But all in all the line up does look like it could produce goals, let's hope so.

Close. I'd say Niasse on the left where he played in Russia, Dom through the middle and Vlasic on the right.
