We’re not getting penalties

Not something that should concern us terribly seeing as we don’t get any…

After a looooooong time I’ve a good feeling for tonight’s game.

2-0, Shaggadelic hair of Shaq and Origi with his bum.

Me neither, but I do think we will win. On average even if we have yet to find any sort of good form (but there is a minuscule chance that we actually have, can I have my hope at least ! :smiley: ), even without very good play, we should be able to dominate midfield and at the very least curve balls into the box for Origi and friends. After so many grim nights, I am pretty confident we will win at home against Burnley. But if we will play well, that’s an another story entirely. And of course, you are right, we may get our teeth kicked in, if we can’t score, Burnley can absolutely score on a dead ball or something like that, you are right about that.
I think it will be enough though, and I think we will with a win tonight give ourselves a tiny bit of more time to find good form.

Let’s hope Jurgen proves most of us wrong.

I reckon Taki was considered as an option and then deemed better from the bench as the two tanks at the centre of Burnley’s defence run out of fuel. I’ve quite liked the Minamino sub performances on the whole

He did a sterling job as a fill-in second time round but his last stand-out midfield game was a while back.

A rather surprising line up. Not sure it is the way I would have gone but Jurgen has surprised us before with teams that look a little off. I guess Divi is there for his height.

Burnley not scored in 6 of last 7.

Great

Fabinho allegedly has a ridiculous record with penalties.

But yeah… really who thinks we will actually get one? (Get not deserve)

It’s a gang-bang, three refs and two ‘fluffers’ on the lines.

I’m content with that lineup. Only real loss is Hendo to be honest. Origi offered more in his 5 minute camo than Firmino in 3 games. About time this ‘kick up the arse’ happened to Bobby.

Salah aswell, Shaq was doing decent and especially against a defensive Burnley Salah won’t get a lot of room for his runs where Shaq can create more

Missed his only pen he’s ever taken with us (on his debut in pre season against Torino) lol.

If we deserve one, we will most likely get one. We usually do apart from very special situations that are quite rare. The reason why United get so many is that they have real fast strikers that run fast as hell in back space, forcing defenders who are too slow to down them.

Or not. Many others on this forum have different versions, but those versions where refs are biased against us doesn’t make sense to me and probably never will.

Looks like cheery weather tonight. How windy is it? That usually buggers us up.

A must win. Just looked the standings. A win will still be in 4th, a point behind Leicester
