Another international break is over

International breaks are usually long and tedious affairs where we await news of potential injuries to our players. Thankfully this one passed without incident and none of them got injured.

Mascherano will probably be rested this weekend as he had to travel halfway round the world to play a couple of matches. It wouldn't be worth risking his fitness as we should be well able to beat Burnley without him.

We've had a rocky start to the season but the next 5 games should be relatively easy and allow the lads to build up some confidence before the big games with Fiorentina and Chelsea.

With all 6 teams above us in the table playing each other there will be lots of points dropped which will allow us to climb the table quickly.

I dont care about the score as long as we win but I hope Burnley dont stick 10 men behind the ball and make it a boring game.

@Scouserine - honestly I'm not too bothered whether it's a boring game or not, just want the 3 points so the lads confidence doesn't dip.

Don't be so quick to write off Burnley. They already claimed the scalps of Everton and Man United. Also their players will be a lot fresher than ours. We're going to have to work hard for the 3 points tomorrow.

@Marcus - I'm not writing them off, as long as we don't underestimate them, then we should have no real problems beating them.

@Isak - LOL, yeah I can't wait either, it seems more like 2 months instead of 2 weeks waiting for it.
