Wouldn't be averse to it being Lascelles and Fernandez as the two CBs. That rick from Fab at the end nearly cost us just as much as Clark. 

[Jaqen]

Looks like he's aged quite abit already after only a few weeks

I would agree with this if he's sticking with two CB's 

[Lush Vlad]

The main problem with Lascelles, for me. Isn’t his ball watching, his dithering or his panicked style when in possession. It’s that he’s not even physical anymore. Couldn’t even put Saka on the weights and got bullied and given the runaround by Toney. 
 

I’m sure he used to bully strikers when they backed in, he was a beast in the air and was getting stuck into meaty 50/50’s and coming out on top. Apart from his crowd pleasing slide tackles, that don’t really achieve anything. I feel like he’s gone to shit as a defender. Even his leadership seems to have gone. Doesn’t have a presence about him like before and seems almost timid at times. 
 

Hope he gets his mojo backed. Used to love watching him.

True, but Schär not being in the side means only Shelvey has the capability to competently pass the ball forward.

Fede isn't the worst at bringing it out but obvs you're right in that it's one of Schar's best attributes. Just feel like those two lads vs Wood and Barnes, assuming Burnley still play both them two, might serve us better. I know that's us setting up to nullify them rather than playing to our strengths but we're probably not in a position where we can take any game to anyone yet. 

[Big River]

Lascelles will be straight back in the team, daft to think otherwise.

He can play def midf in front of Fede and Lascelles

Shouldn't be though should he?

Ah, the classic "play him in CDM" regarding any CB that is okay on the ball. Nah.

Barnes is out fwiw. I see what you mean though but Burnley will still sit off. They sit off almost everyone.

[MrRaspberryJam]

Schar played holding midfield once or twice under Bruce and he was turd. He's not alone in that respect but he was definitely turd.

My mate is a Burnley fan and said they have played the two battering rams for a while. Barnes not getting much of a run out. 
 

Been Wood up top with Cornet, who’s he says has been fucking magic, playing around him. 
 

Fede and Schar would start for me.

[SUPERTOON]

Barnes is injured for them.

Catchy chorus,could become a thing if enough people hear it 😊

He’s just really impressive. Every time I hear him speak I’m more and more confident he knows exactly what he’s doing. Reminds me of myself in a lot of ways! 😀

I bet by the end of December he's aged 5 years and almost bald.

Nicely done.

I was very critical last week, he got it right today. First half was shit and nervy but we grew into it, pushed for the second and the game management last 15 mins was spot on, subs and all.

Same, I was extremely critical but today it was truly on point. Hopefully he told Jones to shut his mouth about the players in the club
