Clarets v Spurs Match Thread

Al - Dakhil absolute dogshit at RB. And every player to a man is constantly giving the ball away. So frustrating to watch.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 3:56 pm

Roberts has been fine.

Agree
- But he’d do much more on the right

Again there are some real positives from the game so far but the concerning element for me is our defence.

We look so vulnerable

Why oh why are we playing a right back at left back I'm sorry Vincent but if Taylor is injured fair enough but if not that's 3 games we are opened up on that side .

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 3:57 pm

We need to try to get Foster more involved as he is running them ragged when he gets it.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 3:57 pm

We are committing defensive suicide. Totally unbalanced at the back with no cover from midfield. Get Roberts back to right back, get Aldakil at centre back, OShea is poor. I said after the first two games OShea doesn’t look right in our back four.. someone said give him more training time ...this is the PL we don’t have time. It needs sorting quickly.

3 times this half Trafford has played the ball out to Cullen, 25yds out middle of field, with a man covering him. It was shite last season and it’s even worse this season. His only options are back to Trafford or to either FB who then have no options but launch it because the press is on. There is zero benefit and far too much danger. Stop it.

Over 100 million spent and Roberts having to play left back is an utter joke

He has done okay really. One sloppy pass, but otherwise been an outlet for Trafford every time.

Beyer has done well too IMO.

Brownhill out warming up alone. Possible early change?

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 3:58 pm

Roberts has been effing superb!

CRF!

How has Sarr not been booked and the goal chalked off for that foul.

That's true. You watch the replay and he deliberately keeps his leg up to trip Amdouni. Clear foul. He did it discretely enough for the refs to miss it.

Premier League players are all masters of the dark arts. We need to match them.

That's the difference between the PL and Championship.
Better forwards exposing us.

Huge gulf.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 3:59 pm

Brownhill gives us some bight in midfield. He will win the ball and he gets forward into shooting positions.

Every time they break they look dangerous. I’m just not sure what it is but I’m concerned they are gonna get 2-3 more in the second half as we push forward to get a goal

Yes, it's not so much conceding clear cut chances, it's how vulnerable we look and how quickly it happens. Opposition finding it too easy to work an opening to get to the bye line and pull it back into the box. Whether that results into a clear cut chance every time doesn't matter cos it will happen enough times for us to concede two or three a.game if it's not resolved.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 3:59 pm

I don’t know if it’s our defenders or a lack of protection from our midfielders but as a defensive unit we look vulnerable.

Sure Spurs are a good side so that will make it look worse but I think the issues would still be there against anyone.

CohibaClaret · Post by **CohibaClaret** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:01 pm

Spent 100 mio and have to play CB’s as full back, can’t explain that. Also haven’t seen anything that justifies the nr 1 spot for Trafford above Muric. The first goal was quite soft. Berge also not doing better than Brownhill. Very disappointing start of the season so far.

It’s not a dig at Roberts , we weakened down our right hand side

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:02 pm

And you’re not telling me Roberts is a better option than Taylor at LB. We are bobbins at the back. We don’t even look like keeping a clean sheet, in any game this season.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:02 pm

Roberts is no lb and AD is never a rb. Get AD and Beyer central. Roberts to rb where he is excellent and Taylor to lb. Oh wait a minute.
If we don’t change this could get ugly in second. Great first 15 mins when Spurs were asleep. Trafford caught in no man’s land for first goal

Shaggy · Post by **Shaggy** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:02 pm

The defence is utterly exposed by our ridiculously high line we are playing.

Think Muric would help as he is better at sweeping up the through balls than Trafford and has a lot better distribution.

Berge is the least of our problems at the moment imo. Cullen looks just as bad.

Just hope we come out 2nd half like we did against Villa and then slug it out for a point which is what I would take at this moment in time.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:04 pm

At least we are still in the game. In VK we trust.

Just now, a point would be a major achievement.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:06 pm

Yeah looks like Browny on. Not sure who for yet.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:06 pm

Beyer and Berge off. Browny and Delacroix on....

Rumbletonk · Post by **Rumbletonk** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:06 pm

Al Dakhil has been very poor. We look all over the place without the ball. They have so much space when they move the ball forward. We are clearly a work in progess. We do look threatening in their final 3rd though. That late goal was a real kick in the balls

We do look like relegation fodder at present.

You just can’t defend the way we’re doing against Premier League teams.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:07 pm

Got it wrong. It was JBG not Beyer.

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:07 pm

3 CB’s and 2 FB’s

Brownhill for Berge

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:08 pm

Looks like a back 5 now

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:08 pm

Beyer obviously not 100%.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:08 pm

So Browny and Delacroix on. Berge and JBG off.

Glad to see Browny on. Think he deserves it and we've missed his iindustry.

I thought JBG had done well in 1st half.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:12 pm

Not started this half well at all.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:12 pm

Browny with a decent effort. Good work from Koleosho again.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:13 pm

Good shot Brownhill.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:13 pm

Looking like a very hard ask to come back against these.

Browny shot was never going in.

Koleosho definitely has something abouot him. 2 or 3 good runs without any end product but definitely something to make your heart beat.

Seem to be a little more involved in attacking tha. Never mind
