So what happens if you bring Minamino in for Firmino and again we struggle to score the entire game? Then do you bring Firmino on as a sub late and if he can't do something special then what? It just adds to the growing chorus from pundits and some of the support about why Bobby can't score. I just don't see how putting a player on the bench because he's in a bit of a rough patch of form (who isn't on our team?) is how you motivate them to do better. I'm pretty sure that Bobby and Mo and Sadio all want to be scoring and creating chances, for whatever reason it's just not happening, but sitting them on the bench in favor of players that have yet to prove they are going to score doesn't make sense to me. If it was Jota on the bench, then sure, bring him on. But Minamino has been largely ineffective since he's been here. I like the kid, but I fear we have the makings of another Origi only without the big goals.
We need to try something different from what we’ve being doing, cos right now it’s not working, apart from Saints we have faced the bus parking society of the PL our last 4 outings, and struggled, Burnley being Burnley will park their own double decker so we need to tweak one or two positions to try and get thru, using the same formula like what you suggest aint gonna work, and we will drift further behind the leaders,
Winning tonight won’t advance us forward but it breaks the run of draws and will inject some much needed confidence, right now we are in our worst form for three seasons, we need to put a stop to it before it becomes to late, there are still plenty of games and time left to turn things around and we will, but we need to stop the rot now !
Alisson
Trent Matip. Phillips. Robbo
Fabinho
Shaqiri. Thiago
Salah. Minamino. Mane
Bench; Kelleher, Hendo, Milner, Gini, Ox, Bobby, Jones, Origi
Dyche will expect the usual X1, so the changes will affect his plans, with little time to alter, from the off I’d attack attack attack, press the sh*t out of them and don’t let them out of their half, lots of pace & tempo, we need to stop the rot asap.
