no changes until/if we go behind and I don't think we will.

Shame we couldn't have converted our one chance!

Vokes will come on tonight

We’ve looked our usual resolute selves, which is good. The whole team will benefit massively from the experience they’re getting playing in this competition, it all bodes well for us

Looks like adverts for the whole of half time and no pundits. I approve.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:55 pm

Bardsley done ok so far

Vokes = away goal

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:56 pm

Walters has been dreadful, we need an away goal here. Get Vokes on

Looks like good practice for most PL games! Really reminds me of 2016-17

The worrying thing is that that are able to take the ball off us so easily. It's like watching men vs boys at times. We need to keep the ball better, I am not sure that we can

Adverts are quite encouraging. Real people.

Keep it tight till the hour mark and take Jeff or Westwood off - Westwood has looked very nervous, first touch shows us that. I think if Lennon is fit enough for the second half then he has to replace Walters.

Westwood has been our best midfielder by a country mile, his first touch and passing have been excellent

70-30 in possession stats for them but they have created little,if we keep it tight surely a chance will come our way in the 2nd half.Even 0-0 wouldn't be a disaster.

Yeah but he keeps referring to Hendrick as 'Hendricks' which is annoying

Seriously though, never thought I'd see the day former Man City and England goalkeeper Joe Hart would be lining up for Burnley in a European tie, just another reminder of what a great time it is to be be a Claret ( more than usual that is)

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:58 pm

Barnes had just 8 touches of the ball in the first half.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:58 pm

Cork has struggled somewhat

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 8:00 pm

I think we have put up an excellent away European performance.

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 8:00 pm

It's an away European tie. We are 0-0. all good so far.

Caught in possession in the middle due to a bad touch, which led to hem almost taking the lead. And one of our best chances to create an attack the ball bounced off his foot straight back to them. I’m not a hater on Westwood or any of our players, just saying he hasn’t been as reliable as usual

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 8:00 pm

Dyche giving Vokes instructions so he could well come on soon enough

Maybe he’ll put his 9th touch in the net

2nd half. He4e we go.

Bit of reducer from Bardsley

Barnes booked. I doubt it was for the challenge so probably gobbing off.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 8:04 pm

Barnes booked for not retreating 10 yards, in a European game with ultra fussy refs that's schoolboy stuff :/

I have a feeling Ashley wasn’t the most well behaved schoolboy.
