Agree with the 11. Only one possible change Zohore instead of Ward. People will say that Ward doesn’t deserve to be dropped however Zohore has never had the opportunity to start a game with Reid Just behind in support. Still think that Zohore is the best striker we have at the moment and just needs the confidence & a goal to get him going.

Agree with both really.
I'd have no concern starting Zohore but for now I think Ward probably deserves his place.

From what I saw of Zohore today, not sure a goal would have got him going. A stick of dynamite down his shorts might have been more appropriate.

What you’d move move Manga back to fullback after that performance?

Sorry, first pick on team sheet needs to be Manga at centre back, everyone else has to fit in around him. Warnock said at the end of last season that Manga would likely be our best player this season and it looks like he was right.

That's defo the right team to pick vs Burnley imo. Hoilett badly needs some time out the team as his confidence looks shot atm. I really wish we had NML on the bench though, him and Murphy on the wings with Reid in the 10 position would offer us so much more pace.

This is a must win game,with a week off,while Burnley play in mid week ( might rest players ) .
Burnley put 4 passed Bournemouth ( who should have been 2 up ) before Burnley got their 1st goal today.

Yep I’d also go with this and I also hope we don’t put a stupid amount of defenders on the bench for no reason too. My bench would be

Smithies/Murphy, Cunnigham, Jazz, Damour, Harris , Hoilett, Patterson, Zohore

I’d go with similar, with maybe Patterson in for Reid and move Camerasa back into the middle

I agree against the top teams with brilliant movement up front, but Burnley play with physical strikers in Vokes, Wood and Barnes. I think we need Bamba’s physical power and leadership in there, plus Manga has been excellent at right back anyway and that will give us a more solid, physical defence having Morrison, Bamba and Manga on the pitch to deal with their powerful front line. Their only pace comes from Aaron Lennon down their left, who isn’t as fast as he was and I don’t think he can get the better of Manga if he keeps up his level of performance at right back. They have Vydra as well of course who is quite sharp, but we dealt with him comfortably last season until Wildschut’s mistake.

Horses for courses, Burnley will come and be physical so Bamba and Morrison at centre back with Manga at right back makes sense in my opinion for this game.
