Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

[cleavers]

Great refereeing. We call them out enough when they get it wrong.

It was one of the few things he got right, for me another useless twat, who gave our players no protection at all.

The BBC highlights just had our match on. Praising Burnley and Matthew Upson said that should be the blueprint for teams coming to the Etihad. Er, Matthew, they lost 4-1

Makes a change from the pundits advising teams to

Upson appears to be an idiot.

He refrained from advising other teams to kick us, unlike the other tw-ts.

I didn't think they were overly aggressive.

 

[Bluep*ss]

33000 as we always have 20000 empty seats lol
Think it was probably about 54000 looked full

No attendance given on MOTD , either.

Early on through the back of Silva, obvious yellow, but nothing, Fernandhino in 3 on 1 challenge, gave them the free kick, and then had words with Fernandhino. He gave us absolutely nothing in the first half, and when we finally took the lead, he walked back to the half way line looking crestfallen, he was dire, like most we get, so nothing new there. How Cork wasn't booked 3 or 4 times I don't know.

Fair enough. Take your word for it. I noticed the one on Silva alright.

Anyone know what the official attendance was today ?

53,356.

Park the bus - we gradually work the opposition over and win. Have a go - we destroy the opposition.

Totally agree.
What really annoys is what refs give fouls to the opposition for - yet when the opposition commit similar or wirse offences NOTHING. A similar situation for yellow cards too. It really is a disgrace.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

English media are lauding Dyche as some sort of genius when in reality he is just the new Sam Allardyce.

Much as I take issue with his comments about Bernardo and other stuff, his record tells you he's a pretty good manager. When he takes a bigger job, Burnley will sink without trace.

Bet it would have been if it was 20k lower.

It really is a disgrace.

It is, and that we are regularly saying this after 3-1 and 4-1 wins says it all.

What did he say about Bernardo ?

 

[Skilly McRailnob]

probably mentioned several times already, but this match reminded me of how valuable Ederson is.

What did he say about Bernardo ?

Said he dived for the penalty in the League game

 

[HarrytheBlue]

And we've been there. When we had nothing and our backs were to the wall, we would have lauded such a style as a need to just get points and stay in the league.

Even in the dark days of the relegations we've always tried to play good football. We almost always seemed to appoint managers with an attacking ethos. Stuart Pearce wanted to play attacking football, but couldn't get it going. Strangely, he said Manure were a better bet for the title than us in August 17. Classic case of a world class player not suited to management. Alan Ball was another - he gave us Kinkladze though.

Yep. The vaunted Burnley pressing (by MOTD) would have been pulled apart if Ederson was playing resulting in some serious issues for Burnley at the back.

Absolutely mate. He would've broken that high press within minutes but instead they got their tails up and we looked nervous... Plus Ederson would've closed that down and not been beaten so easily at his near post...

...and no it hasn't been mentioned much because this morphed into the Burnley 2017-18 thread for a few hours.

Seems alright now though.

Not sure he had much to do with that signing.

 

[BlueAnorak]

31 games unbeaten domestically now.
