Any body got any ideas on what tactics VP will use against Burnley. I saw he was not happy with long balls against Sunderland. Against Brighton we had 11 behind the ball but still just kicked it up the pitch. Creativity and flair seems a thing of the past.

I'm no football manager but VP is a creature of habit and will start with a 442 of Johnstone, Tchatchoua, Santi, Krejci, Hugo, Arias, Andre, Gomes, Munetsi, Hwang, JSL.

We'll take the lead then he'll bring on Agbadou for Andre, Bellegarde for Hwang, Rodrigo for Arias, Moller Wolf for Hugo and Tolu for JSL.

We'll end up conceding and then try and play intricate football in our own half for 10 minutes then go gung ho in added time looking for a winner.

We that's what we've done for the last 8 league matches so I can't see that changing any time soon.

The good news is that hopefully, Fosun have used this week to talk to potential replacements who, should we fail to win on Sunday, should be sacked within minutes of the final whistle. But let's not forget that Jeff Shi operates on another planet so will more than likely offer VP a contract extension.

I know. The Spurs and Brighton games were an anomaly. Take out my second paragraph and its still the same.

Sorry 449 tactics are something Vp doesn't have, can't defend, can't score. It will be the usual play out from the back, get as far as the half way line, then stop and play it back. Slow and ponderous, giving teams lots of time to defend against us. Gone are the Nuno days when we broke with speed and gave teams no chance to regroup. We had top players then who were quickly sold for profit and replaced with inferior players. This policy has caught up with them, we have ended up with virtually no quality Premier ballers.

If we played a 449 Ray, we could baracade the goal mouth and maybe get a point ???

Sorry Wolvo we would still give a soft goal away, it's part of Vp's tactics!
