Burnley have won one league game since October. We don't deserve top 5 if we don't beat them.

Agreed.

If the training pictures that were posted a few hours ago on Instagram, is any hint of what team will look like tomorrow, it’ll be weaker than Spurs.

Holding out hope that the players involved on Thursday were told to skip outdoor training.

Same.

Almost certainly the case, I'd imagine. They'll have been in their sleep pods counting their trainers.

The photos were probably taken on Friday anyway.

if you could pick any team in the whole of the Premier league to play away from home tomorrow it would probably be an already relegated Burnley, it certainly wouldn’t be Wolves and they are the only team lower

But with that Spurs thing you just don’t know what’s gonna happen
I still don’t fully understand that to be honest, but we do need to win tomorrow so let’s not fuck about

We have to go in hard, they have nothing to play for but self survival.

We’ve two performances and the absolute two ends of the spectrum this week. We need to get the mentality right, if it’s the same as it was against Spurs we’ll lose. But if we get anywhere near our best we’ll win comfortably. We need to make sure we don’t create a problem for ourselves.

We need to play as strong a side as possible if we want to get the three points. I'm assuming Torres won't play, as he was struggling at the end on Thursday night.

A win more or less guarantees 5th place.

A big win would be good for the goal difference…

I think if goal difference is going to matter we’re probably struggling as we’ll have lost two games. I think in reality we either need Bournemouth to drop points or we just get 4 points.

I think he means for getting above Liverpool and ManU.
