Burnley (A) | Post Match Thread

Very comfortable in the end, bar a few hairy moments. Way above expectations. Lewis got targeted a bit, Alvarez seemed to drift in and out. But that was all really. Haaland a killer, Rodri the best midfielder in the world.

Not a bad performance from anybody. Except the Burnley fans - they might have spent a year outside the league learning to play proper football but they've still got thousands of racist troglodytes in the stands.

Ederson 8
Walker 8, Akanji 7, Ake 8, Lewis 6
Rodri 9
De Bruyne N/A, Foden 7
Bernardo 7, Haaland 9, Alvarez 6
(Kovacic 7)
 
Collectively we look in very good shape, very pleased Bernardo and Walker are staying, good result, solid team performance but few individual pointers;

Ederson - Poor decision making 1st half, Good 2nd.

Akanji - Looks very fit but has lapses in concentration (same as last season)

Rodri - Consistently performs at a high level, integral player.

Foden - contrary to other posters I thought he was average, I see so many inconsistencies in his game, if we're judging it by actions, he does one thing a 7/10 then the next 3/10.

Alvarez - Tactial awareness poor, decisive actions poor.

Bernardo - Tactically suberb, game management of the highest level, wasted on the wings againts lower opposition.

Haaland - Looks sharp.

Lewis - Had a very underwhelming game, sloppy, and pressed into making mistakes.
