Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

[worsleyweb]

did they not draw with liverpool, spurs, united and beat chelsea?

And had me nervous at half time

If your going to sit here and tell me that a team who fails to score goals isn't generally going to struggle, then your more twisted than I thought.

It's common fucking sense man.

Did I say that?

You said

'This league has always had one absolute fundamental rule for teams to survive.
That is scoring goals.'

Scoring tons of goals isn't critical for clubs to survive in this league, with solid defence you can easily finish in top half while barely scoring a goal per game.

Dinho is the best DM in the world and no one will convince me otherwise.

There's midfielders who are better at defending - on the ground - but his other abilities make it hard to think of a better holding midfielder at this moment.

At the time I thought bringing KDB on was a strange substitution but psychologically it completely broke Burnley. At 3-1 down they were still very much in the game, had we brought on a couple of kids it could have given them even more belief. As it was, they looked across and our team was actually getting stronger and it completely killed them.

This is a thing of beauty!

He looked a different class when he came on. Two or three passes were just amazing. What a great crowd by the way. Decent atmosphere at times and a proper cup tie.

Doesn’t get any better than this season so far. Just love going.

They weren't still in the game: the game was essentially over when our third went in - barring some monumental fuck up - but bringing Kev was the last thing they needed to see and I'm sure it did psychological damage to them; as did hid right foot: that pass to Sane was - on one viewing - yet another extraordinary pass.

This should be posted at the start of every match thread, some right dumb fuckers might have a read.

I ignore it mostly but today was bad, really fucking bad.

Credit to Dyche for whinging like a **** as usual.

Fixed.
I don't have an issue with how they play but I do with that cock of manager, moaning just like the last game when it doesn't go he his way.
He needed calling out over the Bernado penalty and yet again talking shit about the free kick for our first. Should be looking at his own players.

One of the assists of the season.

 

[SWP's back]

we finished 14th scoring 9 goals at home.

Which was shite and none of us enjoyed it.

Which is the point.

 

[the plasterer]

if pogba or kane had done that backheel, you would never hear the last of it, it would be goal of the season, gundogan is and will be some player with more game time

 

[SWP's back]

so they didnt go 3-0 up against chelsea away from home?

Scoring 16% of their total for the season.

In 1/22nd of it. (4.5%).

I ignore it mostly but today was bad, really fucking bad.

Last weeks against Watford was pleasant.

 

[SWP's back]

No you are just chatting shite

Wigan scored less than 1 per game and finished 11th a few years back, Fulham finished 7th with a similar ratio. Any more examples?

All well known good footballing sides that had viewers thrilled.

not really

Having watched quite a bit of Burnley this season they play much better football than Pearce ever did. And there in 7th place.

Yes and I think Guardiola did that in part to say "f*** you, this is what we can do" to Dyche because of his antics earlier, which is not like Pep really - compare his friendly chat with Hodgson in the dugout at Selhurst last week.

sadly not all sides can pay 50 million for players

Also I quite enjoyed watching Martinez Wigan side

Can't be arsed with you anymore. Your completely missing the point.

They’re* in 7th place but still play shite football.
