[PL] v Burnley (A): Build Up

[Doc_Piptorious]

Could well be right, I've no idea. I just looked at the Defour signing and assumed they are planning on playing football.

Oh I am not calling them a Pulis style team of **** kickers, but my take on them (rightly or wrongly) is that they are well able to harry and get stuck in when against a more skillful team, and that they are prone to using high balls to put back lines under pressure.


As for Defour, he has always been a bit of an allrounder in midfield (just not to the level that was once expected of him) and he is well able to play in a pressing style and is the type that can get stuck into a midfield battle just as easily as he can pick passes.


Am expecting a tougher game against Burnley than against Arsenal tbh, and I think it might also be a tougher game than the one we will have against Spurs.

Burnley will be up for it against us, and the are the sort of team that we have slipped up against a lot in recent years, especially after a good result against a strong team.

Personally, I'm very confident. My biggest concern is it is on the back of a big win, which historically doesn't bode well for us as you say.

Henderson - Grujic
Firmino - Lallana - Wijnaldum
Sturridge

Maybe? Wij is at his best on the left IIRC.

Origi, Matip, Moreno, Can probably on the bench, loving our squad at the moment.

Migs - Clyne Lovren Klavan Milner - Hendo Wijnaldum - Couts Firmino Lallana - Sturridge

Manninger Can Grujic Stewart Origi Matip Moreno

Thought it odd Lallana get dropped.

No Ings or Markovic, the rest are either injured or on their way out.
