Agreed he should take more of his chances. But as the old football cliche goes, a striker not getting into positions for chances is more of a worry.
Pretty certain we'll sign another forward in January. More as another option.
Reed should start and Targett. Would like a cameo or two from some of the other youngsters (depending how the game pans out) otherwise a strong ish team. Have a nice 7 day rest after this before the huge 3rd v 4th fixture.
YES!!!!!
Wow. Things are getting mental. We are well in for 4th now. We will not get a better chance of CL football.
Huge result. Things just can't any better right now. How many clean sheets is that?
MOTD will be a cracker tonight too.
Must say Ings is getting better and better at Burnley.
Who's to say we can't agree a deal in January that becomes effective in the summer. I swear some clubs have done that before? Burnley won't want to let him go on a free but will want to keep him so could be an option.
In any event a striker is the key player we need in the summer as an alternative to Pelle. Pretty happy with the rest of the squad.
I thought the support was good yesterday like Everton. The only thing I question is when people leave on 82 minutes when the game is tense and exciting. Never makes sense to me.
Very happy. We need more attacking options and the guy clearly has tones of ability. Feel that Koeman is the sort of manager that can give sort a players head out. Fingers crossed he can pull it off. It's never a bad thing signing a international and it's certainly not a bad thing signing a Dutch one.
Win this and we could be back to 4th.
Schneiderlin and Wanyama back in and Tadic most likely. Would like to see two forwards playing again but he might go back to our usual formation. Bit of a blow Fonte missing (am I right?) but Yoshida is good enough to play with Toby.
No easy game this. Palace are a difficult team away from home but we are more than good enough for a win and clean sheet.
1-0 win for me. COYR!
Happy Christmas SWF's!!
