Anyone even remotely confident about this one?

I'm confident it'll be drab.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I'm sure I've just somehow missed this and it's common knowledge, but chico poached and writing previews for another site? Never thought I'd see the day.

Koeman to play no pace or wingers, 1-2 to Burnley, 2 set pieces.

Vlasic must start

Niasse DCL

I'm confident it'll be drab.

I am confident that there will be the usual muttering into pints of WTF when the team is announced. Followed by a collective tut when the first pass is misplaced, followed by shouts of "turn" and "forward" when the first pass is made backwards. Then arl arse dads shouting "Sort it out" at Koeman when we go 0-1 down to a set piece, with hearty boos at halftime. Mild optimism when he actually starts the formation that should have began the game and brings on Davies and Lookman at halftime, but unfortunately takes off Gana and Vlasic to make that happen. Then much muttering and shaking of heads when he brings off DCL for Niasse after 75 minutes. Niasse to save his bacon once again.

1-1 and another reprieve

Anyhow COYB

I hope we can give the crowd a voice early doors, it makes such a difference. If it's slow and ponderous we are in trouble. I fully expect a high press from Burnley, Ashley Williams will be under duress not to make the same mistake again.

I'm hoping Keane and even Jags are back to take him out of the side.

 

[Lee Smith]

Can't believe how many tickets for this match are on offer on StubHub (well I can actually, 'cos it's a Sunday game against Burnley and we're playing complete poo at the moment), literally hundreds of them (821 to be exact!). I know a lot of people complain about StubHub, but there are non-restricted view Adult tickets going for £18 including fees!

 

[ToePeg]

I’m dreading this

Dreading seeing him pick the same players in the same set up yet again like a man standing on a garden rake, getting hit in the face and knocked to ground and getting up and doing the same thing over and over.
But dreading facing Burnley.... c'mon?

I'd like to see a bit more pace, lookman/lennon and someone who can make decent runs into the box to aim for!

 

[GwladysBlue]

Please, no: Rooney, Williams, Martina and only one of Gana/Schneiderlin.

U got Niasse and Vlasic at least with pace. but wouldnt mind one of lookman and lennon also.

Can't see him starting Niasse, hope I'm wrong as he's one of the select few in the couple of games who's shown any desire to get on the end of the ball. Think Koeman it too stubborn, or at least he has been of late...
