Burnley (A) 15/7 Build-Up & Matchday Thread

[Boozad]

Same change for me, Jota for Neto. We need to play their shithouse tactics off the park so go at them like we did against Everton. They're nowhere near as bad as Everton though so it will be a much tougher game, is that dirty cunt Mee still missing?

And if I remember rightly the Beeb used to put a Division One game on Sunday afternoons. Used to love watching them.

Jota for Neto. Need Donck in both boxes and he had a really good game Sunday albeit Everton’s midfield was horrific.

Patricio
Doherty Boly Coady Saiss Otto
Dendonker Neves
Podence Jimenez Jota

For me, gutted for Neto when he seems like hs going to get a bit of momentum/run in the team he gets injured.

Beat me to it. It was the second ever league game to be shown I think. The first ever live game shortly before, Spurs v Forest.

Think Nuno will revert to 3-5-2 with Moutino back in M/f and put Podence on the bench for Diogoals.

BTW I can't remember where I saw it, but apparently Wolves are the first English side to play July to July in the same season.

 

[AndyWolves]

Same for me, Jota in for Neto (God i hope Jota goes on a streak now)

Having Adama and Moutinho on the bench is really nice, it gives you options if

a) You're behind and need something
b) You're infront and need to control the game
c) Need a bit more control in midfield

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

If both Neto and Moutinho aren't playing, who takes our corners and wide free kicks? It was Douglas in the Champ, presumably it would be Neves or Podence in this instance?

 

[Tony Towner]

Can't be Podence we need his height in the box [emoji3]

Was Pod on Sunday when Neto went off.

First side to score in two Julys in one season.

First side to score in two Julys in one season.

That sounds more like it. Thanks Paddy.

That sounds more like it. Thanks Paddy.

Thought it was the first side to win in 2 Julys in the same season

 

[Premier Quality]

I thought Donk played really well on sunday so I’m cool with it being him and Neves in a 3-4-3. I’m not a fan of his in a 3-5-2 though, so hoping we stick with the three up top.

Burnley are doing amazingly well given their squad has been shredded through contracts and injury. Three of their midfield against Liverpool were Westwood, Brownhill and Pieters, and I wouldn’t have any of them near our squad at all.

 

[Kenny]

Neto's injury was just severe cramp.

 

[YoungWolf]

Neto's injury was just severe cramp.

Excellent news

 

[pacamac]

Neto trained today will be assessed tomorrow.

I'd still be tempted to start Jota and Podence either side of Jimenez to be honest.

Harsh on Neto as him and Podence did both look very lively but thought they looked like (not surprisingly as its true) they'd hardly played together, both deserve their chance just maybe not together.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Slightly bizarre that Adama is one of the most coveted players in Europe & I doubt there's anyone on the forum (and I include myself in that despite being one of his biggest fans) who would start him ahead of Podence.

 

[Law's Bus]

First side to score in two Julys in one season.

I'm going to question this fact around the 1966-67 season. The United Soccer Association (as in LA Wolves) was played May - July 1967 and was a competitive tournament; but I can't find the date that our first game in 1966-67 was.

Not that bizarre considering Adama's shoulder could pop out at any given moment and Podence had a friggin good game on Sunday

Even setting aside his shoulder, Traore's been far more potent off the bench against tired players than on from the start.
