Good enough response. Not going overboard with praise as it was against a depleted Burnley who we’ve sussed out playing against. The true response is Leeds.
Palmer slotted in very well, did nothing wrong, few decent interceptions but wasn’t involved as much as hoped. Now he’s got his debut out of the way i’d Like to see him impose himself more next time he sees action.
Torres was much better, didn’t see him use his left foot though which means we’ve got 3 inverted wingers and none of them seem willing to go down the outside which might be problematic against top sides. Good minutes into Bernardo, Mendy looked fit, Laporte got a vital 90 minutes, don’t think we will see him shift over to the right side of defence very often though was weird to see. Seems foolish to have our 35 year old captain play 90 minutes but I suppose if he’s got enough in the tank to last one more game he will get a well earned break during the internationals.
Would love us to win this and make it 4 years in a row. We’re only 3 games away now.
Found Dyche-mic very entertaining in all honesty. Much prefer to hear something like that over the absolute bollocks that is the fifa fan crowds shouting “oooooooo” when sterling hits the corner flag from a shot.
