Burnley (A) Post Match Thread

9 goals last month,as in 3 days ago so not for a while

In my opinion he has, most players would get them goals In our team, Aguero for money is well off pace and if Jesus was fit don't think Sergio would get a look in

Sane is the biggest miss today, he makes the team balance better, with Sane on left, Sterling on the right, it all works far more efficiently gutted for the boy, he will be missed in next few weeks,

Did Pep mention why no Laporte ? I know he was on the bench, and hasn't been here long, but he looked good on Wednesday, so a bit surprised he didn't play any part today.

To be fair the lad played 90 minutes only a few days ago and he hasn’t been with the club for a week yet. There was no need to put him in the team with kompany and Otamendi available.

For my money, Aguero was shocking today, and has been for a while now, always too many touches in the opposition box for me, shoots when he can pass, passes when he can shoot, legend of our club without a doubt, but he has been well off the pace for a long time now, and no longer influences games

Shocking ? Shocking is what Benteke is.
We played well but didn't kill them off and we paid the price. That's it.

I happy for you to disagree with my comments but cut out the insults.

Oh so you’re more than happy to insult the players who have worked their fucking bollocks off but don’t like it back. As the saying goes “if you’re prepared to give it out, be prepared to take it”.

Yet again after a poor result/team performance the Sergio knockers judge it safe to sneak out of their caves and have another go, already forgetting recent games.

This. Mind you one of the more prominent ones practically wrote off Spanish Dave this time last year.

Why do we need him? Why does anyone need a 30 goal per season striker, FFS?

Think Pep said he hadn't trained since the West Brom game maybe had a few things to sort out after transfer

Strangely enough, I remember the Dave knockers last year, “ his ankles are done” “ he’s only had one great game” I remember all that nonsense, not an hero for long these days are you :-)

Goal came too early(great goal though from Danilo) and we made the mistake of getting too comfortable before putting the game to bed properly, we had several chances to do it.

Thought Eddie could have done better since he was so close to it but maybe that's harsh given the pace on the ball.

Sterling doesn't need telling he has to do better with the chance he had, he looked visibly gutted sat on the bench when they equalized.

Kompany looked short of confidence but it's been so long since he's had regular football I'm not surprised if he needs a run of games before he's anywhere near his best.

2points dropped away to Burnley isn't that bad they can take points off anyone on a good day, especially at home.

It wasn't crriticism, just a question, I'll be honest I didn't expect him to play against West Brom, but a debut is probably better at home than away at Burnley.

That would make sense, don't know if he has family to bring over, but there would be plenty to arrange, there's a week to the next game now, so hopefully he'll be up to scratch by then.
