Tonight's Lineup

Why the $&@“ did McNeil not even attempt to cross that with his right foot instead of turning the wrong way and passing back with his left. Premier league footballer with literally no option from his right....

How is Sterling so crap for England but good against us.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:17 pm

Why did the ref blow up for offside, when we were in possession going forward?

An hour gone and we seem to have given up

I just gave up. Nobody to bring on. Nobody to gee us up. Off to work.

You have to admire City. Their players are not just skilful they are highly motivated and very fit. I know they cost a fortune but you can see why. The work each player puts in when they don't have the ball (which is not often) is exceptional. Winners mindset.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:21 pm

We've had some chances but the final ball has generally been bad

Don't feel we've given up at all.

Barnes has a great chance but puts it over.

And yet miles behind Liverpool oddly.

You missed out that they have the financial back up to buy the cream of the crop from around the globe!

5, anyone?

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:24 pm

We need some leadership on the pitch, especially in the middle.
I couldn't understand putting Brownhill on the wing on Saturday, and I don't understand putting Dwight on the left. Already short of players and we weaken ourselves further by moving players out of their best positions.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:24 pm

Benson coming on

No matter how well we try to play they always go through us like pump watter.

Commentator..."still a chance for Burnley"

When we haven't beat a man or even crossed the ball all game

You can, I don't. it's just about who has the biggest budget.
I wish I hadn't paid for this, it's just so annoying.

They’ll end this season with the same amount of trophies as us - none.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:25 pm

I don't think we've been that bad despite the score. Some positives to take away from tonight. They are just our nemeses when it comes to opposition teams/tactics.

Wouldn't be this bad it we played Liverpool or any other of the spenders.

70mins in the boots for Barnes now off for Benson

Well see him on Saturday

Blyclaret · Post by **Blyclaret** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:27 pm

How he gets in the team amazes me .. such a poor defender.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:27 pm

Good 68 mins for Ashley Barnes, building up his fitness

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:27 pm

Rodri has been amazing from them. He's there every time we lose the ball.

Raggus · Post by **Raggus** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:28 pm

Absolutely garbage, everytime we play them we do the same, sit off, sit deep and get slaughtered, why not try and press and push up at them, it's not like they haven't got in behind when we are deep!

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:28 pm

The 3rd goal was lucky, not long’s fault.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:29 pm

VAR would have given us (another) pen there.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:29 pm

Lowton really is dog$hit

He has about as much positional awareness as a blind bloke stuck in the antarctic in a snowstorm. He's ******* useless

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:29 pm

Peacock-Farrell played well tonight. Probably our best player. Looks very agile.

ewanrob · Post by **ewanrob** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:30 pm

Very little you can do against a team like this, when they are at their best...heyho onward and upward.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:31 pm

To be fair to Long, while he’d be out of his depth against Norwich City, let alone Man City, that lot tonight are virtually unplayable.

Leicester had the players to really put them under pressure, their creaky defence is their one weakness, and Vardy loves goals against top sides, but this is a better defence. He always drops in Fernandinho against us, whereas at the weekend they had Ake and Garcia at CB. We used to give Ake a good going over at AFCB, Laporte and Fernandinho are miles better.

Been impressed with him whenever I’ve seen him play (admittedly on even been live)

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:31 pm

I prefer listening to it on Clarets Player (or + as its now known). We never seem to play badly on there, generally just unlucky if we lose even 5-0 and if lucky we get insights from a Daz Bentley or A Campbell....

Burnley1989 · Post by **Burnley1989** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:32 pm

A lot of us talk about having a few 50m players ourselves, you’d not be able to pick them out as a neutral would you

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:32 pm

Long just got taken apart by the kid. Would rather see Dunne in there tbh

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:32 pm

One positive: at least we don't have cringe worthy apparel like the hoody Peppa Pig is wearing.

Of course a big budget helps but it doesn't guarantee success. Look at Fulham a couple of seasons back. It's about buying the right top quality players who fit your style and work ethic. Guardiola and Klopp have done that.

Don’t think we’d stop them but would like to see Dyche play a formation other than 442 in these games.

Been way to narrow (not sure if that's his fault) but been caught utterly flat footed on several occasions tonight. Shocking

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:33 pm

9 goals conceded in 5 games this season. Not looking great statistics wise so far.

Or 5 goals conceded in 2 League games.

Frightening.

Dyche absolutely blasted Sterling then ... quality

Oi Sterling you spend half your life on the ******* floor, ‘get up’ are you ******* sure
