Interesting test of our squad with 2 regulars out, a draw can't be far away but we should have enough and as Dave said, that wining mentality can't be derailed by self doubt amongst us and more importantly, the players.

3-1

We've got to get out of this mindset that every match is a potential defeat and every good result will be followed by a bad one.

You are absolutely right Dave but the mindset will only fully change when the results back it up. We are still too inconsistent.

However we are most definitely moving in the right direction to make that day come.

I think we'll win but as their result against Arsenal shows, they aren't pushovers.

You said that before the Brighton game  ;)

If by "we" you mean the players, then yes, very much so.

I think that only having one training session before the Brighton game was a massive disadvantage to their two weeks prep. We should be well prepared for Burnley, and no reason why we shouldn't pick up the 3 points.

Think we’ll win this 2-0 but it will interesting with two regulars out. How will the replacements do???

Arsenal (7) have lost more games than Burnley (6), so I'm not sure that's a good pointer to how well they're playing.

Normally Burnley is a tough game but hopefuly Barkley is back and scores in a 2-1 win.

This is a team with Westwood in it. We're better than that.

Nothing but a win will suffice.

Westwood has improved at Burnley.

Westwood would be good cover for Luiz for Thursday.

No.

I wouldn't buy him back. But I think I'd rather him than Nakamba.
