[Albion] Team v Burnley

[crookie]

Playing three at the back with wing-backs is just giving three points away Hyypia style.

Like against Watford and West Ham ?

Oo er missus, yes, please.

 

[blue-shifted]

My principles of selection for this one are..

This game has got "play Shane Duffy" written all over it. Drop Burn if you want Webster in, (though I'd go Burn)
I'm quite tempted to put Bong on the bench, just to warm up next to Rodriguez and continually sledge the Burnley fans
They are strong through the centre, but their full backs can be got at. March instead of Bernardo and plenty of balls going down the channels
Muzza in to buy us 10 to 12 cheap free kicks

I think you'll find he now gives away more than he gets.

Who gives a f**k about the team? Most important question is: will VAR teabag us again?

Or has someone explained to laws to soccerball, to Dan Burn.

Will GP change formation against Burnley, I dont think he will,so assuming Trossard is out would go with:

Ryan
Duffy...Dunk...Burns.
Montoya...Stephens..Propper..Mooy...March
Gross
Murray
Subs; Button,Webster, Bernardo Connolly Jahakanbahsh, Maupay, Bissouma
​

I'd swap Murray for Maupay, but agree with everyone else; think we need to dominate the midfield to beat Burnley and may well need Maupay's pace to beat Burnley's defence, I cannot see us really beating their defenders with set pieces and crosses; goals like Maupay's vs Watford is more what I can see beating Burnley.

As long as Burn stays on side

I put in GM as much for his defensive ability as anythings else.especially on set pieces.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Same formation as City. Need Duffy’a aerial presence at the back, so in for Webster. Groß to replace the injured Trossard. Otherwise the same team.

I must admit, I thought Duffy all day long, Burnley quite direct, Wood and Barnes. However, I actually then thought that keeping the ball against Burnley was going to be more important than a bit more in aerial ability (I don't know if Webster is that much weaker than Duffy in this aspect, only we know Duffy is one of the best).

I certainly wouldn't be worried to see Duffy in the XI, and reckon a lot will see it the same. I just wonder if the experiment against City, where we had a huge amount of the ball from them, was exactly what we need to do with Burnley.

 

[Napier]

He's definitely not fast but I've never considered him not hard.

So, tried and tested, but not hard and fast?

 

[Poyningsgull]

If we can't trust a 20m CH to perform against an airial threat then we have some serious questions to answer.

 

[BensGrandad]

Who is this 20m tall CH?

 

[BLOCK F]

Yes. I reckon Webster will keep his place.

Ryan
Duffy - Dunk - Burn
Montoya - Propper - Stephens - March
Gross - Murray - Maupay

 

[Arkwright]

Ryan
Duffy - Dunk - Burn
Montoya - Propper - Stephens - March
Gross - Murray - Maupay

You could easily start with this XI but Gross playing behind the front pairing of Murray and Maupay.

 

[zefarelly]

Duffy and Dunk . . . .no. Way . . . Remember last season, we got torn a new one. We need footballers.

Goalie

Webster Dunk Burn

Still undecided on the rest but I'm sure GP will know what to do.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Will need players prepared to battle and attempt to win 40/60 tackles.
