I never thought I'd see a starting line up containing Carroll, Hernandez, Antonio, Lanzini and Arnautovic!
Before the game starts: I'm definitely in the camp that wants to see attacking play from us whether we win or lose. So I am liking this team.
After the game starts: I reserve the right to panic, be greedy for 3 points however badly we play to get them.
If we dont score (at least 2) with that team then I am going to be the first this afternoon to say ''Bilic out''. Although, as said, I am liking this line up! So fair play to him (fickle expression on face ;wink )
At least Slav is not shrinking away from the challenge before him, lets hope it's a case of fortune favours the brave as we could put in our best performance of the season with that line up, but being away from home our defence could get pulled apart.
What is striking is that all those players are decent in my book and yet we still have Sakho, Masuakou, Noble, Ayew and Ogbonna on the bench, all players that can genuinely play a role. Looking strong today.

Hart
Zabaleta - Fonte - Reid - Cresswell
Noble - Kouyate
Antonio - Lanzini - Arnautovic
Carroll
Adrian, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Obiang, Ayew, Chicharito, Sakho
Can't really see what Noble brings anymore
4-4-2
Like the idea of Lanzini at CM and having pace in both wings
Very brave with Lanzini in the middle. Think SB has really rolled his dice today.
;wahoo
Concede concede concede
We're going to get thumped.
Not just lob on what looks like our best XI players and see what happens.

It's been 7 years since Burnley have won after going behind.
