Huddersfield v Burnley Match Thread

If there was VAR, that goal might well have been chalked off.

Your average dingle is going to be touching himself at the fare they will be served and so they should. Hope Vin storms the championship.

Burnley made more passes this half than the whole of last season.

Had more total minutes of possession in this half than in the entirety of Sean Dyche’s reign.

 

[bluesince76]

Is that the same team that spent several years boring everyone playing 1980s football? And people question why Dyche didn't get a bigger job.

Get Delap on the train up there tomorrow. Should make it by Wednesday

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Burnley 75% possession, come on what's this crap?

Finally got a manager who can make their extra digits count.

 

[NickGw2]

Been enjoying this. Geez HT 3rd last season and getting absolutely twatted at home. Hope VK keeps this up. Can’t believe it’s on broadcast TV in the US either.

Yup ESPN is going over air TV this year for EFL. Pretty excited about that. As long as they dont use their pundits for commentary.

 

[Kamaro011]

Can we send Delap on loan to Burnley ?, will really help Kompany tremendously here.

 

[WestGorton]

Bit much for Huddersfield fans to be booing team after just 45 minutes of a new season .

I agree. Came so close as well.

Fucking hell, if he was walking, he'd be up there by wednesday!

Maybe not the train though, if the RMT have their way!

*sits back and waits*

Burnley are playing some cracking football.

That high line at defensive free-kicks. I wonder where Vinnie got that idea.

Aro has had a much better start than he did for Forest a couple of years ago.

THB hasn’t had a lot to do, but he has looked very comfortable when in possession.

I’ve been very impressed with young Maatsen, and his goal was a cracker.

It’s great to see Bellers at Vinnie's side.

It is a bit much, but I think it is just hard to take being absolutely dominated for the first 45 minutes of the season, at home… by Burnley.

 

[skillman]

Lovely seeing Bellamy alongside Vinny and seemingly working wonders.

They do seem to be screaming out for a proper striker, though, rather than Ashley Barnes. I wonder if Delap would do a season there…

 

[chesterbells]

Yeah. Worth a watch.

Actually enjoyed watching that first half; warmed to the task Burnley didn’t they?

 

[DWIFF]

Is that Bellamy on the bench with Vinny?

 

[p.taker]

Knew I had to sign up for ESPN+ to watch the CC tomorrow (and other domestic cups eventually). Signed up a day early so I could watch Vinnie's new club!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

It’s just a privilege to watch this Burnley tactical masterclass in the presence of Andy Hinchcliffe.

 

[SebastianBlue]

They did. Must be nice to be playing football again.

 

[jimharri]

Is that Bellamy on the bench with Vinny?

Yep. Vinnie's assistant manager.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Very good defending from Roberts there.

 

[p.taker]

Is that Bellamy on the bench with Vinny?

He is the Assistant Manager, yes.
