They are bringing two busses I've heard
Yeah, but I've also noticed that a lot of these teams, like West Ham, Palace, Newcastle, and even Leicester that generally play with a negative/speculative approach, will actually come out for the first twenty minutes and try to nick a goal and then park the bus. We've often been caught by this in the past few seasons.
This season, only Citeh, Villa and Spurs have a better defensive record than Burnleh, which helps them to generally stay competitive in matches. So we may need some magic to unlock them from Pablo, Rapha, Rodders or Poveda. I'm hoping we get the basics right, like marking, tracking runners, putting a foot in, winning aerial duels and passing well, as we did none of that against Scum, hence the heavy defeat. If you get the basiscs right then our flashy football should overcome then.
Burnleh are one of the form teams in the PL, they have 8 points from their last 4 matches, only Villa, Everton and Liverpool have more. So it could be a hard match and closely fought, but I believe we have enough to beat them.
Two wins against Burnleh and WBA will get us back on track and heading up the table. Two draws would not be disastrous as it would put us on 19 points and keep us away from the drop zone. But if we lose these two matches we're heading for trouble. even losing them I still feel we'll stay up as we'll have our better defenders back and playing regularly at some stage, I hope.
If we do go down, which I'm confident we won't, or even struggle to stay up, I think MB might call it a day. I really hope a d expect that won't happen as the longer Bielsa stays here we have more chance of improvement and advancement as a club, he's worth more than any player we could ever buy, that's for sure.
MOT, let's have these cnuts. I'd have loved Berardi to snap Taylor today, little shitpot
...see my amdt mate ...
