Burnley PL (A) | Man of the Match

[cleavers]

And so it begins. 9 or 10 months of this emotional rollercoaster. Why do we put ourselves through it?

That was anything other than "emotional" Jim, boring would be nearer the mark.

Easier start than I expected.

 

[Haaland94]

Obviously, Rodri or Haaland were their usual best-in-the-world selves, so I voted for Mateo. What a player.

9 for Rodri, 7s a piece for Bernardo and Kovacic, and 6s and 5s for the rest.

I thought Bernardo was very quiet tonight

 

[mosssideblue]

Rodders by a country mile

 

[Trojan1962]

Rodri by a huge margin

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Rhodri incredible and so was Haaland once again for his finishing.

 

[bearcityblu]

Haaland, world class finishing.

 

[Gabriel]

I thought Bernardo was very quiet tonight

Just keeps the ball, recycles possession, and pops up here there and everywhere. If we have him, Kovacic, and Paqueta on the park, it’s just going to be silly.

Rodrigo really pulled our shit out of the fire a few times either side of halftime, but stunning passing and then pretending he's Johnny boulders!

Phil had some gorgeous touches, Kevin put in a few great balls, hope he's back soon. Nat played well and Matty Kovacic looked immense. Eddie has ridiculous skills.

Edit should really mention rampaging blonde goal machine, he's alright!

Every player was a 7/10 , not one really stand out player , given it to Kovavic a steady premier league debut , doesnt give the ball away , puts his foot in when required a definite asset to the squad
