Liverpool FC vs Burnley FC Opposition View point

[thedonz]

Hello Koma and Joe.

I write the match previews and enjoy contributing to this forum . Liverpool teams of the past have been amongst the finest this country has produced and it is a shame that all that has passed. If you have read your history you will know that Burnley FC also have a proud history at the top of the English game. I would guess though that the expectations of both sets of fans are different.

There will not be one poster on here who ever expected to see our small town ( in population only) ,family run club, back at the top of English football. We have one man to thank for that and his name is Sean Dyche. We don't expect to win any trophies like in the past but we will be proud to simply stay in the league.

1) What has Dyche changed?

We now have a midfield who will improve our ball retention so we are beginning to look more attractive. Although, under Dyche, it will be a long time before we are described as an attractive side to watch. Dyche has copied the old Liverpool way of making players wait for a place in the first team. He is incredibly loyal and new players have to wait for either players to leave or until they have shown enough to play the Dyche way. That hasn't changed and won't. He is a manager who doesn't waver from how he believes the game should be played.

2) Tom Heaton will be a big miss and for me, it's going to be all down to Nick Pope's nerve. Pope has the full backing of the defence which is important .

3) Chris Wood has made the start all strikers wish for, scoring early goals to settle himself down and win over the fans. You know what strikers are like when they are on a run of scoring goals.

4) Wells will do well at Burnley, Dyche has been after him for years.

5) Dyche will stride purposely towards Klopp, give him a warm handshake with a smile then shake hands with Klopp's backroom staff. He will then move into his box and not look at Klopp until repeating the same procedure at the end of the game. Liverpool will be given no special preparation.

6) I hope Jon Walters plays some part in the game then

7) I would probably say pace and 25 yard shots

8) Liverpool will score and concede.

9) Burnley will escape relegation
