There seems to be a lot of talk about how Burnley can do the Dippers a favour and take points off us, but why would Burnley want to hand the advantage to Liverpool? I don't quite get it and could do with an explanation.
Anyway, another big game tomorrow and one of those that I always have great confidence of us getting a decent result. There's always the talknof the old 'English Style of Football', all physicality and directness but when it comes down to it the football we play wins through.
5-0 in the home game in PL, the same in the FA Cup, we've already proved how our football fairs against the English Style so why should this be any different? Plus the Pep effect, he's not lost against Burnley, beating them at theirs on his previous visits.
To be fair to Burnley, they've done really well to get back to their current position after the nause of their Europa debacle which basically fucked up their season. Their 3 wins and a draw recently show that they know how to get a result and getting a draw away to Chelsea cannot be underestimated. That followed 4 straight losses through Feb-Mar so it may say more about the timing more than anything.
I'm just wondering how Burnley are going to see this game, one where they need to battle to confirm their PL status or don't get to physical, play fairly and don't impact on the PL title by nefarious means, ie. Will they do a Huddersfield and fail to pit a single tackle in?
So, a game made bigger by the current situation with all and sundry casting an eye towards Turf Moor, most that hope we can stop the vermin and others praying that their history club can get an advantage.
What will it be?
