Phillips
Ayling
Meslier
Bamford
Struijk
Dallas

Take the two extra points from today, if you feel it should have been a draw, and add it to the two extra points we should have had against Arsenal = 20 points - no difference.

Clean sheet
Thought we defended reasonably well.
80% of Burnley’s forward play came from us (I’m sick of repeating myself) giving the ball away when under no pressure whatsoever.

Easy

One step forward, two steps back for the last half hour!
Touch wood, Phillips is marshalling everything at the back atm

1-1 Alioski

PS, I don’t know how to split Ayling and Dallas so it looks like they are wing backs not extra holding midfielders

Meanwhile, back at the ranch 😉... As Burnley play two upfront, we might go with three centre backs (Not sure who they would be, maybe Creswell. Philips. Struik with Klich as a semi sort of holding midfield leaving everyone else as the creative element) Meslier. Creswell. Philips. Struik Ayling. Dall...

7-1 home win v Fulham
Missed a few good chances, too.

Same order as wilsdenwhite

Like that

What do some people on this forum want? Set up not to lose, lose 1-0, not create a chance in reply ? It’s still a defeat. I’ve never known us have 17 attempts at goal v scum ever. Koch and Llorente in defence and Ayling at right back, surely it would have been closer. It is what it is and it will be...

To be fair, we could have had six ourselves
If we can win the next game, this won’t matter a jot.
If you work with any scum fans, just smile and shrug and don’t say anything, it will wind them up no end.

2-1 Rodrigo (Finnatic)

Sheffield defending exactly as we do when we go forward.
A through ball or over the top and they’re/we’re exposed.
Doesn’t bode well for Sunday.

Rodrigo
Harrison
Bamford
Klich
Raphinha
Alioski

Pablo should be on there for what he contributed, but roughly 12 minutes isn’t enough time to be on a MOTM list, IMO

Positive. Looked good going forwards with more creativity than of late.

Negative. If Phillips hadn’t buggered up our corner, they wouldn’t have had a corner from which to score from.
Another self-inflicted mistake leads to a chance for the opposition, which they wouldn’t have created themselves.

We were 3-2 up I think when Pablo came on, so they were pushing forwards a lot more, which gave him plenty of space in which to create.
I’m a big fan but wouldn’t start him yet, I just think he needs to be an impact sub atm.
Plus Rodrigo had his best overall game in his position.

17 points.
I really do believe if we double that we are safe.
