Absolutely spot on mate. Senesi was holding the whole side together and was my MOM by a mile. Sheer disbelief when he went off.

He was on a yellow and not releasing the ball quickly for Leicester free kicks ie. in danger of getting a red. On the whole, he played well, but because of his silly yellow and playing up a bit after, I think Andoni got that decision right.

Perhaps you may care to offer a more constructive retort. We are going to Burnley with, more than likely, both of our main strikers out. The chances of hitting the target are less than 30%. Would you be surprised if we lost the game?

Adding to this one has to consider the fatigue factor of having had a tough game against Man City and then the nightmare of extra time against Leicester of which will take its toll on the players.

He/she doesn't need to answer your question. You say the same boring shite every game and have done all season. People aren't under any obligation to take you seriously.

It is not shite. I have a valid point. So obviously you feel that the potential loss of our two main strikers will not have an effect on the result at Turf Moor? Well thank you for that, I stand corrected.

Sorry I'll have to bow out of this conversation. I'm getting that creepy feeling again that you give off when you post this innane drivel. It reminds me of when I hear Gary Glitter on the radio. Unpleasant.

So you believe that having these two missing and therefore affecting our performances and our goal scoring prowess is nothing more than drivel? Lets see at full time at Turf Moor on Sunday.

Well, looking on the positive side, I am pretty sure that last night's game will have made it abundantly clear in Andoni's mind that the focus in training now has to be on improving our goal return.

We are now very good at pressing, defending and getting the ball into the opposition final third and creating goal scoring opportunities.

Now we just need to focus on ways to become more efficient at getting the ball into the net. It's the missing piece and there is a lot of work to do.

Against better opposition we still seem to lack goals from players other than our main forwards. There is potential to add a few goals from other positions, surely ?
Also, as I mentioned in the Billing thread, if we are going to continue with these pot shots from distance, then we need to ensure that we have players prepared to follow them in and possibly pick up a second ball in a dangerous position.

Certainly plenty for AI to work on and I am sure that last night's game will have focused his mind. I remain optimistic. We can defend. We can attack. We are just very inefficient at converting the chances that we create.

Excellent post .
 
Scott is not up to PL in terms of him being some kind genius......overhyped by idiots who know nothing.
Rothwell was better..and obviously a 3/4 fit Brooks was.
I don't hold with any of this crap about 'a manager doesn't see a player as fitting his system' ...what crap.....you make them fit...they are professionals steeped in intense coaching methods....oh for f√ck sake...do I need to explain this any further.....

Cook's a human being. He's not a robot who can just take abuse from fans left, right and centre. Of course, the best thing is to not react, but humans react. We would likely also react in his situation. Cook put in a decent shift. The only thing he did wrong was take that free kick.

Sorry, I meant, not sure how it helps when fans start doing that.

Who said Solanke will be out?
 
We can likely assume Tav, Kluivert, and Semenyo will come into the starting attack for Burnley, based on them being subs last night. Whether Solanke will join them we'll have to see. But they could operate a pressing front 3 by themselves if needed. Maybe Solanke can add something from the bench if he's ok but not 100%.
