Burnley (A) Post-Match Thread

Dyche not doing himself any favours there. Came across as a complete dick.

You can see where his players get it from.

Ferran the man!

Good win tonight. Torres will get even better.

It was good and everyone needed a lift after the weekend.

Sterling takes all the plaudits but looking at it critically he has a poor first touch. Doesn’t strike the ball cleanly. Doesn’t protect the ball leading to possession being turned over cheaply.

There I’ve said it.
What he has though is speed and a very good attitude. He keeps going no matter how many he misses. He constantly makes the run to be there in the scoring position sometimes making up 40-50 metres to be there.

MOTM? Well he should have had a hatrick.

We weren’t tested at all by Burnley, but it was great to have Laporte back. I continue to like the look of Ake.
That’s the best we’ve seen of Torres. There’s hope there that he could develop into our type of player. He was far better than Mahrez.

I liked the look of Palmer. A bit slow in decision making but this is a big step up for him. Didn’t look fazed.

Bernie’s back. Harwood Bellis got a few more minutes and Stefan looks like a decent addition.

All good.

I guess the preferred tie is the winner of villa and stoke

What kind of football do stoke play under oneill. I'd rather avoid them if they atoll try and kick you off the park

 

[stonerblue]

Was it on Mahrez.com?

hahaha, belter.

 

[OB1]

Much better.

Where did the original thread go?

 

[Bazzmand Show]

No idea why we started such a strong team tbh, it's a mickey mouse cup and we don't need to be winning it this year.

 

[stonerblue]

As others spotted, Palmer was excellent and my motm.

 

[madloaf]

Ferran looked very good. Anyone bitching about him after the previous scraps he'd played was daft anyway. However, if anyone would like to go after Mahrez here I'll be ready with my like button... But im not doing it coz we won 3-0 and I'm happy.

Where did the original thread go?

The moderating system had a bit of a mare, I tried to merge a post into the MoTM thread, and merged it in to the cp draw thread for some reason.

System was having a mare, very weird.

Tipped off he was playing some time prior to the team being announced. Lots of people who know him were putting bets on for him to score. A very tidy debut and only one small error in the dying minutes. Would love to see Foden, Doyle, Herwood-Bellis and Palmer in the team as regulars in a few years time.

90th minute, caught in possesion and gave it away for the first time in the match. More tellingly he almost won it back.

He reminds me of Mike Bassett
