Painstaking. Filled with nonsense matches.

A 2 week break when the League is 3 matches deep fuck me. Please no injuries.

I suppose Isak on the bench and we get kicked off the park with no help from the clown with the whistle.

I’ve mixed feelings concerning the Burnley game. It’s after an international break, we had often problems after such breaks.
When I remember right years ago we had 80 percent possession, but we lost 0-2 at Turf Moor.
Nevertheless we should win this time around(hopefully).

Ignoring the officials and the kit.

What’s going on with Macca?

Is he fit? Unfit? Having another baby?

Right back. Bradley? Frimpong? Dom ‘motm at rb’ Slobo?

Otherwise pretty straightforward.

Gravy, ???
Wirtz

Coote only cheated because he was gay and LFC made it difficult for him to come out! We should be ashamed of ourselves, honestly…

I think you’ve nailed it, and have highlighted the two main choices Slot has to make, assuming they all return from the international break ok.

Personally I would play Dom at right back again. I’m old school in the sense that he has the shirt, and his performances have been so good, so let’s keep it going.

I would play Macca as he tries to get back up to speed and form. When he is on he is imperious. He can share some minutes with Jones so he doesn’t overdo it.

Part of me is nervous about playing after the international break as we have form for spluttering along. I don’t expect the performance level to be tip top, but so long as we turn up for the battle, we really should be winning this one.

I think I may have posted already at the start of the thread, but the international break has been so long that I might be losing my mind!

I’d like to see Isak with a goalscoring cameo off the bench. Ideally we keep a clean sheet as the first two games looked way too leaky. I think 3-0 or 3-1, something like that.

MacAllister has started for Argentina even after their manager said he wasn’t 100% fit. Nice.
I doubt he’ll start at Burnley. My guess is he’ll go with Gravenberch, Szloboslai and Jones with Bradley at RB.

He’s been like this with Macca before evidently he’s up to something.

By the way, the baby thing was a false alarm, so it’s quite possible that it’s waiting until we have another game before it’s delivered, just to annoy you.

:wink:

I know nothing about Burnley except they’ve got that Walker bloke from Man City.

Surely they’re not still playing that horrible style that they did last time.

Nice of the cunt Argentina manager to play Mac for 90 minutes in a dead rubber despite saying beforehand he’s not fit.
