stressederic Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Right that's enough of this f***ing pissing around now. Smash this lot, then dump United out of the cup, then go on a run of victories, and win the f***ing league. 1
Hightown Phil Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Gimme this. Alisson, Trent, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson, Henderson, Thiago, Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah. Thanks. 1

Be good if we could get Chamberlain to play like he did against Atletico in March. He helped us create loads against them. Edited January 20, 2021 by PaulMcC186
Dan Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Will probably be as grim as that game when Mignolet let the ball roll over his f***ing foot at Turf Moor. Think we spawned that 0-1 with a Sterling goal. I'd take that again.
Swipe Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Matip plays when he's fit. Apart from cup games there's absolutely no point resting him, cos he's going to get injured again at some point.

Apart from cup games there's absolutely no point resting him, cos he's going to get injured again at some point. Expand He does but it doesn’t tend to be training sessions when gets injured. But this is probably the one team where Phillips is a tolerable idea given they’ll kick balls at Barnes’ and Wood’s heads. Also if he gets injured 70 minutes in against Spurs for example, that might have seen us get in to a position to win the game. I don’t think it’s something that definitely needs to be done against Burnley, but no am I playing him Sunday.

Hightown Phil Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 We coped without Fabinho in midfield for a large portion of last season so I’m not convinced he’s going to be the quick fix back in there people are assuming he would be. Is Fabinho defence and Wijnaldum at 6, as an example, really inferior to Phillips in defence and Fabinho at 6? Can’t have that as being the case to be honest. On 20/01/2021 at 16:00, Jarg Armani said: Now pick me a team for the cup Expand Kelleher, Williams, Williams, Phillips, Tsimikas, Wijnaldum, Milner, Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Origi, Minamino. I am aware this will be unpopular.

Expand I just don't see him being moved out of defence for a single game, they are so coached into positions and set ups that it very rarely happens. Which I'm grand with to be honest.
D.Boon Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Would be looking under the cushions to see what options there are that don't involve Shaq taking his tracksuit off.

I'd happily play Phillips in this (we can do without Dyche setting his yard dogs on Fabinho) and Fab can be rested for Sunday. If a midfield of Henderson, Thiago, Wijnaldum (or one or more or Oxlade/Jones/Milner) can't top the silky skills of Burnley's midfield then we're in a bigger mess than we thought.

But, I doubt that'll happen.

He only started 23 league games last season and we won all of the other 15 so it’s not like it’s imperative he’s there and we fall apart without him. 1
