It's weird. I look at Burnley and ask myself what is their on-pitch philosophy. It's one of the rare instances where I simply can't tell what they're at least trying to do. I'm not sure they have any kind of plan other than hope.

Their tactics are clearly defend deep. Then long balls and get on the second ball.

So far it's working they have had 4 good scoring opportunities. The rags have had 1.

Unfortunately, the only reason it has been so far marginally effective is because of Van Gaal's fetish with a back three, regardless of whether they have the players for it.

Once they play the Aston Villas, Stoke Citys, and West Hams the tactic will be found wanting.

You ****

United are starting to realise how difficult it is when teams have a pop - now they don't stand off them and put weak teams out :)

West Ham will. BFS still thinks Ferguson is in charge.

They have no shape what so ever, look very disjointed and keep knocking the ball long. This is a very very poor performance so far.

Louis van Hoof is a wanka.

Unbelievable how poor united look. Any of the bigger clubs would've been a few goals ahead by now. Still think they'll get a jammy 1-0 deflected goal

It annoys me looking at their schedule until October 26th.

Unbelievable how much Mata has looked out of his depth, turned into Torres at Chelsea.

Being a bit unfair. Burnley is still trying to get used to the Premier League.

I don't think he ever wanted to go there and is sandbagging until he can get back to Spain.
