Burnley Predictions

BAsed on our recent form - if we can score 2 or better 3 in the first 45 minutes fancy a win. Anything less - given our poor second 45s - and we may struggle to get a draw !
 
If the players were getting a break, then this would be a comfortable win. As it is Burnley are on a bad run, and I would suggest that putting the game out of reach in the first half would be our best way to 3 points.

If we score early, 0-1 to us. If not, a dismal draw.

Losing Sarr will be a big blow. Nketiah is next to useless, and our bench isn't encouraging, so we will struggle now until we sign someone or Sarr returns from the AFCON.

Although I think that Glasner should keep his counsel at post match press conferences, he is quite right when he suggests that we did not sign enough quality in the summer.
It was totally obvious that we needed more firepower. A similar player to cover for Sarr and cover for Munoz. What we got has hardly played.

Not good enough for a club that claims to be ambitious.
 
Here's how to win this game .
In the absence of Sarr , play Mateta and Nketiah up top as a pair to share the workload.
Play Pino as an attacking midfielder behind them where he would be less easy to mask in a floating role where he can find pockets of space.
Have Wharton and Hughes as the deeper midfielders leaving Munoz and Mitchell the freedom to provide the width down the flanks.
Will never happen...and sadly I'll go back to playing amateur Football Manager...
 
There seems a bit of a knee jerk reaction/prediction after yesterdays disappointment. Lets not forget we had way too much quality for Wolves and should have won by 3 or 4.
I'm going to predict a win. Probably not a big score but we have too much for Burnley.

0-2
