Burnley v Arsenal Match Preview

I remember the late, great Jimmy Mac saying that the mentality of the team was always “you score three, we will score four”. Positive, not negative!

With Jimmy Mac in the team we could afford to be positive Swiss and try to outscore them, we have Ashley, JBG and Lennon off the bench, so I think 'Park The Bus' might be the best option.

Sadly, sinkov, you are right. That is the reality. It does worry me if the mentality is that the best we can do is make it difficult for the opposition. I would expect us to do that. Aspiring for a bit more would not go amiss.

If SD had Connelly, McIlroy, Pointer, Robson and Harris in the forward line, I'm sure he would set up a bit differently.

For sure BT. My point is the mental approach. The aspiration should be to win, not stop the other team playing. I know that is a way - stopping the opposition in their game, but we don’t seem able to do that for 90+ minutes.
