Burnley (A) 2/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[big mean bunny]

I guess it could theoretically be a back 4 with Doc playing wide right midfield.

Look everyone, Andy has somehow made it worse!

 

[Tony Towner]

Makes you wonder if playing Doherty is a message to Shi along the lines of: “the squad is so small I’m having to play Doherty and even you can see he’s nowhere near the level required”.

Nah, not the time of the season for those games, ultimately he's chosen to drop his £9m centre half for him. Putting 2 keepers on the bench v Albion was that, it made fuck all difference

 

[Indy Wolf]

If that lineup was posted yesterday, it would have been followed by an April's Fool. I see H Bueno in and RAN up the pitch. That may work, but if you must play Doherty, move Semedo up the pitch and take Sarabia off.

I think Semedo will float between a RB and RCH and doc will just be shit somewhere

 

[big mean bunny]

BBC has Burnley in a 442, that likely to be what they actually do? Can't recall paying attention last they were on to what they actually do.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yes both their forwards would get in our team

Yeah I remember thinking Taylor looked talented when I saw him earlier in the season, not familiar with the other though.

 

[t3ch]

Doherty at RM lol

 

[Del Woppio]

Doherty wide right ffs. And now Semedo will rightly be too scared to cross the halfway line.

To think there was people saying we don't need to sign anybody in January, and our injury-free run was a piece of strategic control rather than dumb luck.

Starting a Premier League game with 9 men ffs.

 

[Jinky]

Semedo is playing RCB with Doc at RWB when we don’t have the ball. With the ball it looks like Doc is playing RM.

Yes, it’s 2024 and Matt Doherty is playing Right Wing for Wolves in the Premier League.

Classic Fosun.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I’m sure Doherty wears gloves as he’s trolling us.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

RAN is fucking brilliant isn't he, it's a shame he has to pass to children.

This has been a consistent annoyance for me over the last few years. Sure we clearly had physios doin a good job but they aren’t miracle workers; they don’t just decide to stop injuries ever happening by doing X.

Literally what I thought. Shame Chiwome couldn’t get his feet sorted, as that was superb before that

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

RAN has made two brilliant runs already so far, but you're all too busy moaning about Doherty to notice.

 

[Jinky]

Looking forward to Fosun flogging him in the summer.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Good to see Lemina back in the centre.

I'm a little frightened about how the CBs will do in a 4, although Toti has the pace to cover around if needed.

 

[jd1981]

Whoever is on BBC comms is making out it’s all Burnley so far.

I don’t even have the game on, I’m just here for my 2 hours of hate

They've had more posession, but not created anything yet.

And you'd expect a relegation threatened side to start well at home.
