Sometimes we'll tune in to watch a game , not when we're playing but because we think it'll be a cracker. I don't think this will be an exciting game for the neutral. Both teams struggling to score. Still, you never know
I read something saying Moyes is playing on giving Odubelo a PL debut this weekend, which makes sense when we have no other options.
Brave of OCS to predict two goals. This is a one goal game, if that.
Well Chris Wood is definitely scoring, because he's in the same category as Lukaku and Glenn 🤬 Murray, and we have Soucek's productive forehead, so I think we'll both net.

90 mins claimed that Odubeko "is expected to make his Premier League bow very soon" but Moyes said this earlier today...
"I think he's somebody we're looking forward to working with, but he pulled his hamstring four months ago and has been out for three months. He's a young player we have big hopes for. With Mipo, he's just back from a long-term hamstring injury, but we like him a lot and will try and bring him along at the right time and when we need him."
In a way id rather odubelo is not thrown into this match - certainly not from the start. He will be feeding off very few scraps indeed. It could be a somewhat disheartening baptism. Rather let him loose against West Brom’s defence which could be slightly more accommodating.
Moyes has got to get the team spot on today. My worry is the overlapping etc & crossing style of play we like to implement will be ideal for what Burnley are best placed to deal with. We are going to need Antonio & Benrahma to have great games & get Benrahma on the ball as much as possible in central positions. I really hope we don’t drop him. Cresswell & Coufal putting crosses into the box is not going to cut it today.
Fairly decent to needing a great game is a big margin and in Antonio’s case was a forced issue and still didn’t look fit enough despite his 4 week training and 140 minutes played so far since his lay off

Think it’s fair to say they have our number...

Benrahma I think has been fairly decent. He’s adjusting to PL, the work ethic is there & he’s trying to find his rhythm. He’ll be fine.
