Chris wood

[cricketfieldclarets]

Anyone who doesn’t rate this man is clueless. Would walk into any side in the premier league. And the way him and McNeil combine is unbelievable.

Top top striker.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Nout like getting carried away!

Superb striker though. Has his bad spells but what striker doesn’t. One more goal will make it 4 consecutive seasons with double figures in the Premier League. That is remarkable for a player outside of the self proclaimed “big six”.

[Burnley1989]

Wouldn’t be surprised if a big club came in for him, as a back up striker.

Had a horrible start to the season but finishing it fantastic again

any club would have him. United had ighalo last season ffs. He’s scored almost 50 premier league goals now for us and we are a side who doesn’t create chances. That first goal was world class.

Jack corks the difference today....

Jack corks the difference today....

We definitely miss him when he doesn’t play that’s for sure. Simple player but that’s what you need in midfield. Him and cork are a great partnership.

[tim_noone]

How come we have a good game... and a player stands out.. and posters put them up for sale??

“Walk into any side”

[cricketfieldclarets]

First half hat trick. And double figures. Again.

[cricketfieldclarets]

“Walk into any side”

Easily.any club would take a striker who consistently scores at the rate he does.

[Top Claret]

How many for the the season now?

[djemba-djemba]

Easily.any club would take a striker who consistently scores at the rate he does.

He’s been super today (and so wouldn’t be surprised if he nets again in the second half).

He’s not walking into somewhere like the Spurs side.

[IanMcL]

Superb first half for our man.

If he had been playing for Liverpool yesterday, he would have had 10!

[taio]

He's been superb again. What a half.

Spurs who have had soldado. Janssen and even no other option than Kane for how long? Would easily fit in at Spurs. Not that I’d like him to.

[jedi_master]

One of the greatest signings we’ve ever made.

£15m in 2017 was nothing at this level, and he’s sunk almost fifty Premier League goals since then. I’d love to get the list of who has scored more at this level between August 2017 and now, I bet it’s some bloody big names.

He wouldnt get in any prem side. I get your happy at his 3 today.

[Bcrollerz]

“Walk into any side”

Tell me about it
Somebodys been on the pop early doors
Hes been brilliant today but isnt consistant and definately not a top 6 striker

[Vino blanco]

Will Gordaleman and his Wood-disliking mates comment on here?

This post was when he’d scored one.

I await the list of strikers that are better and more consistent than him.

I imagine it’s a very short list and all will have cost or be worth well north of £30m.

Absolutely. Not many that’s for sure. I’d look but the weathers too nice.

[diamondpocket]

Had a poor first half of the season and missed some chances that he'd have taken in season's before. We wouldn't be in this position had he got a few more earlier in the season. Not blaming him but he is vital in our survival and has come to the fore when needed.
Great finisher, a bit of arrogance about him, & takes the responsibility; has proven to be a vital cog in our chain and we're lucky to have him.

[Bcrollerz]

Irrelevant. He wouldnt get in any side

[Belgianclaret]

Definitely a good buy at 15M, Combines well with Vydra

[dandeclaret]

Best Burnley striker in my lifetime.

[tim_noone]

Best Burnley striker in my lifetime.

You didnt see Tony Hancock?

[Claret Till I Die]

Best Burnley striker in my lifetime.

David Jones was up there, surely

[Zlatan]

Can someone find the thread where some were saying Wood won’t score 10 this season...

[cricketfieldclarets]

Best Burnley striker in my lifetime.

Likewise. By a mile.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Should be able to find it easily as it was where I said he would.

Top top striker.

Don’t wanna spoil the moment, really I don’t, but to suggest he’d walk into any PL side is ludicrous.

Great player for us, better than even I thought and I’ve always liked him. Can’t remember who it was who put his stats up on here as almost a 1 in 2 striker. For what we paid that’s incredible. That would cost you £40m these days.

[mikeS]

Well done Chris Wood fantastic performance today.
UTC

[RVclaret]

He’s absolutely class. I know it’s a game of opinions but in this case whoever doesn’t rate Chris Wood is just clueless.

[RingoMcCartney]

He has a very good first touch for a big fella

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

In the form of his life.
I commented last week that he’d been good against Newcastle and last week was the best I’d seen him for us. Today was another level again. It won’t last forever but let’s enjoy it while it does.

[BurnleyFC]

Absolutely immense today.

[dandeclaret]

For context

Premier League players with 10+ goals in the last four seasons:
Mohamed Salah
Harry Kane
Jamie Vardy
Alexandre Lacazette
Son Heung-Min
Chris Wood

[pushpinpussy]

Chris Wood is without a doubt one of our best signings over the past 10 years.

[tiger76]

Chris Wood is the 1st striker to score a 1st half HT in an away PL game this century.

That's some stat considering Aguero, Kane, Salah & Vardy to name only 4 play in this league.

And yet again he's hit double figures, 4 seasons on the trot now.

Wood cost £15m, compare his stats to the likes of Joelinton amongst many others, and he's clearly proved a value for money signing at that money.

But it's not just his goals welcome though they are, it's his hold up play, and making defenders earn their corn, no defender has an easy time when facing Wood, just ask Harry Maguire if you don't believe me.

[Culmclaret]

Could not get my head around some of the comments on here this season. A top, top player. Ever since he ‘eased’ his way past Duffer and beat our Tom with that crashing shot in 2014 I have been impressed by him. As others have said, like most strikers, he has lean spells, but you cannot argue with his goal scoring record and his huge contribution as the focal point of our attacking play.

[Iloveyoubrady]

Unbelievable signing. Perfect striker for us. His goal scoring record is ridiculous really.

[pushpinpussy]

Could not get my head around some of the comments on here this season

you will get used to it. we get beat then the depressants run amok.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I'd suggest he'd walk into most teams in the PL.

Superior to several strikers who've cost far more than he did, like Mitrovic and Joelinton to name but 2.

To hit double figures 4 seasons running is some feat considering how few chances we create.

[claretandy]

“Walk into any side”

Only Kane, Son, Vardy, Salah and Lacazette have managed to do what Wood has done in the last 4 seasons....

[jedi_master]

Since August 2017 in the Premier League (if I am missing any obvious players, I apologise, but couldn’t think of any really):

Mo Salah: 93
Harry Kane: 86
Jamie Vardy: 74
Raheem Sterling: 64
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang: 63
Sergio Aguero: 59
Sadio Mane: 58
Son Heung-Min: 50
Alexandre Lacazette: 50
Chris Wood: 44
Marcus Rashford: 44
Roberto Firmino: 42
Gabriel Jesus: 42
Anthony Martial: 40
Danny Ings: 40
Riyad Mahrez: 39

[Socrates]

I don’t know if anybody else picked up on Dyche’s comments about him after the game.

Basically saying that when he plays hard, and he doesn’t always play hard, but when he does he is a fantastic player - as he showed today.

I thought that was top drawer man management. That little incentive not to rest on his laurels and keep working, all said at the perfect time.

[ewanrob]

A mention for Vydra, looking very much upto speed with the work and fitness ethic...just needs to get that bit of confidence in front of goal and that lad will be a player. Question is, will he stay.

[Bigvince]

He’s been super today (and so wouldn’t be surprised if he nets again in the second half).

He’s not walking into somewhere like the Spurs side.

Depends, if Harry Kane decides to leave Tottenham and join a top 6 club he might do
