Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

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.

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

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.
