Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

Apart from that last sentence, I would pretty much disagree with all of that.

Fair enough. Gundogan is a hider, he moves away from the ball, not to it, each and every time, when a teammate needed a midfield option today.

He's too passive in my opinion and has an important role helping Fernandinho recover possession.

I don't doubt his eye for a pass, but his role is to keep the ball moving for us, and he is far too passive or reluctant to be involved, which I have no doubt must be a result of all his I jury issues.
 
That telepathic communication between kun and gundo .. you can’t teach that stuff. Kun sold it like a fucking master and made Burnley defenders look like Sunday league players,hand in his knees looked disinterested and out of breath. Boom off he goes.

Dyke can moan all he wants but soon he has to realize why he is not managing a top team .
 
I think that's a bit of a lazy comparison tbh. Burnley have played pretty good football this season. What do you expect ? They were to going to open up and go all out agaisnt us.

He's done a great job, considering how little they spend.

Burnley have not played good football at all, the Alladyce comparison stands for me, in fact I'd say Alladyce plays sexier football! Sean Dyche is a typical long ball merchant from a team playing long past it tactics - obviously a good choice for the English choosing Manager of the year awards.
 
Gundogan is really starting to irritate me, he was bordering on appalling today until that wonderful piece of individual magic.

That's the issue. He isn't good enough to be our regular number ten, though, even with his keen eye for a a pass.

And he sure as damn it doesn't do enough in the rest of the midfield. He doesn't get involved enough and was lucky that both Dave and Fernandinho did his donkey work for him today.

Again, Sane falls into the same category. We don't stretch the pitch nearly as well when he's not play, but he's been stealing a place in this team for weeks, only in my opinion.

He is starting to give the attitude he already thinks he has made it, not willing to so the basics and tracking back?

Imagine how good this kid can be when he matures.

And that last sentence is why he’s got attitude like he has, he’s 20, still got time to grow up and mature and under Pep I’ve no doubt he will. Frustrates like fuck but what a player we’ve got.

Great rant after a 4-1 win.
 
First half we were a bit stodgy and looking for the killer pass too much, second half just tonked them, the pass from Kev to get Sane on his way for the third was Sublime.

As for Dyche he never stopped giving verbals to any official within ear shot and it made me chuckle to see Pep have a cheeky dig back, Burnley fans were decent enough until the third went in then it was a bit of a fire drill, enjoyed our “shit Blackburn Rovers” chant
 
Magic of the cup. Get in.....

That said, Dyche is a clueless prick.

"The referee said he did not need to blow the whistle. The law and common sense view of refereeing is what is important at that moment. Our player is three or four yards away from the referee gesticulating if he is going to blow the whistle and at that moment Manchester City played it into the slot our player would have been."

Yes if the **** wasn't trying to hold up our free kick he would have been in position.
He’s a disrespectful motherfucker.
