Re: Crystal Palace v Burnley - Player Ratings

Don’t be a pillok, this is an intelligent thread normally. I point out the facts when others make false statements. Berge wasn’t good today but those stats are true, he was 2nd in passes (outfield), tackles completed and headers won. That’s why he gets a 6 off me. Let’s by all means criticise perfo...

That’s fair criticism and a part of his ...

Amdouni has a real knack of finding space. Someone mentioned the space he created for himself when Foster should have played him in and he was clever with his movement for the goal.

He’s mega frustrating though. Too often gives the ball away and spends too much of games on the periphery.

As Trafford is about to spring, the striker clearly impedes him by leaning his backside into him.

The problem with that argument is the striker was there, and he fouled him. So it’s irrelevant whether he’d get to it or not.

It’s a clear foul.
