Spurs v Burnley match thread

[ClaretAL]

So refreshing to see our keeper command his area. Trafford is an immense shoylt stopper but Muric is better for our play

[jedi_master]

Amdouni is so poor

He’s another Weghorst, totally ineffective in this league

I don’t think Amdouni should be starting purely as I think we perhaps need to be more compact, but he’s clearly very talented and has a lot of excellent attributes. He’s another level to the joker that you have compared him to!

[Newcastleclaret93]

You’re talking absolute bobbins as usual

Nope he’s not suited to this league at all.

He’s like your Weghorst shout, not the right type of player for this league. He offers **** all

[123EasyasBFC]

Really grown into the half there, Ramsey can’t play in a midfield 2, brownhill for Ramsey for me, zaroury is a player playing with no confidence, he’s got in some good positions and rushed it

[Kilson810]

You'd think Muric has never been beaten to a cross before listening to this thread

[gandhisflipflop]

How on earth is amdouni poor? Jesus wept.

[SalisburyClaret]

Vitinho, Ramsey and Zaroury - all very poor

O’Shea, Delcroix, Taylor and Cullen looking good

[burnleymik]

Pleased with that. Although we are sloppy at times we looked solid and look a threat on the counter. few players just need to be a bit stronger.

[Darthlaw]

Again if we want to play out he’s the man. If we want a more traditional approach then maybe not.

Haven’t seen us try to play the quick passing from the GK from last season tonight, so not sure how we can draw that conclusion. For 25 mins we’ve been hanging on (not down to Muric, mind).

As I’ve been saying all along, GK makes no difference when we have the outfield performing so poorly.

[bf2k]

Literally word for word for what I said to the wife.

I did that and got told calm down and watch my language

[HahaYeah]

They are all working hard for each other, just need to cut out the mistakes.

[RVclaret]

Good half from us. Had the better openings albeit been wasteful. Ramsey and Cullen competed well in there (far better than I expected), Muric been sound and Delcroix has impressed me.

[NewClaret]

Good work Amdouni until the final pass to Foster

Maybe one of the few times I’d have liked him to hold on to it a bit later.

Great play to get in to that position though

[Foshiznik]

Not bad at all. More positives than negatives for me.

[beddie]

Thought as team we worked hard for each other. Muric has done well. Just need that bit of luck second half and we could cause an upset.

[SalisburyClaret]

Shame his famed distribution has been so poor

[Newcastleclaret93]

Amdouni has talent not arguing that. But he’s not suited to this league at all, he is so lightweight and just generally poor on the ball.

Weghorst was more effective

[CoolClaret]

As I’ve been saying all along, GK makes no difference when we have the outfield performing so poorly.

It does a little bit though - when the ball is continuously coming back at us and the keeper hangs on the line then we face more waves of attack.

Having the ball more in the opponents half means we don’t have to defend quite as much.

[bfcjg]

Still in the game which is great however we see creating most of their chances, get rid of that sloppiness and who knows ?

[NewClaret]

How on earth is amdouni poor? Jesus wept.

Just ignore, he’s trolling.

[spt_claret]

Great half. Neither side in full flow but we are limiting them and I think with a full team we’d have more control. Still in the cup at HT thats for sure.

I think it's a strange game in that we've looked extremely sloppy in possession and very open to attacks every time they have the ball, but they look completely toothless and unproductive with it (much like we did for many games earlier in the season).
Agree that with a first choice team especially centre midfield we'd be looking much better. They're a different side without Son.

[HunterST_BFC]

Ramsey is quite simply not good enough.

[BobSykes]

Fair do's, we did much better than i feared, should even be in front, but let's be honest our failings this season have been very much on display again tonight. But good to see Muric, who looks on decent form and we could have done with him all season rather than the understudy. Good to see Zaroury too even if it's not the same player we fell in love with last season.

It'll finish something like 3-0 to Spurs i imagine...

[RammyClaret61]

Shame his famed distribution has been so poor

Because he’s played so much to get in the grove.

[Newcastleclaret93]

How on earth is amdouni poor? Jesus wept.

Watch the game?

All he has done this game is give the ball away and consistently make the wrong decision.

[ElectroClaret]

Doing ok.
As others saying, need to cut out the mistakes and
sloppy play like poor passing.

[South West Claret.]

Not much to beat here so far.

[KRBFC]

Nope he’s not suited to this league at all.

He’s like your Weghorst shout, not the right type of player for this league. He offers **** all

Here you are, the team is playing well so you start digging out players individually at random. You did the exact same last year.

I don’t think writing off a young lad 19 games into a new league is wise. He’s clearly very talented, he might be the best close dribbler iv ever seen in a Burnley shirt and can score goals, needs to be more consistent with his end product which will hopefully come in time.

Saying he offers **** all is just you though, absolutely clueless when it comes to football and nothing but negative about every BFC related.

[boatshed bill]

We are doing very well collectively.
It's a real shame that so many of you on here can only see the bad bits.
This is a very entertaining game, enjoy it.

[CryerBFC]

I’ve actually been impressed with Ramsey tonight. He’s never a CM in a midfield two but you can see glimpses of what he can do, he’ll come good I’m sure, but if Villas deal is anything like Archers is at Sheff Utd, he’ll be back there in the summer if we go down

[ClaretAL]

Shame his famed distribution has been so poor

Not so sure I think it has been quicker and right. He had 1 that should have gone long and one that went wide apart from that all good from what I have seen

[willsclarets]

Nope he’s not suited to this league at all.

He’s like your Weghorst shout, not the right type of player for this league. He offers **** all

This is nonsense. He's not set the world alight but you can see he's full of ability. At 23 and with his qualities he's easily up to playing in this league. I think despite what he's shown so far there's a good finisher in there as well.

[No Ney Never]

Muric's distribution has been sh*T. On at least 3 occasions he's put us under severe pressure, it's no wonder VK prefers Trafford.

[roperclaret]

Amdouni is so poor

He’s another Weghorst, totally ineffective in this league

Don’t talk shite

[CoolClaret]

Just thinking -

That half is exactly what I expected us to look like from the off this year tbh. Bit fragile but having a go at it. Good stuff

[HahaYeah]

Amdouni is playing with weight on his shoulders, he looks so incredibly self concious.

[KRBFC]

Ramsey is quite simply not good enough.

I don’t know what game you’re watching, he’s probably been our best player. Surprisingly impressed with how well he’s done.

Go ahead though, push your negative agenda.

[RVclaret]

Watch the game?

All he has done this game is give the ball away and consistently make the wrong decision.

Rubbish, he set up the chance for himself with a nice one 2 with Zaroury. Created another good opening for Zaroury with nice feet in a tight space on the far left. Almost threaded Foster through after dribbling past 2 Spurs players.

[CoolClaret]

Watch the game?

Stuff like this makes me think you’re just a troll…

[FCBurnley]

Foster looking tired or injured for last 15 mins Hope he’s ok. Muric has been excellent apart from 1 bad throw. O’Shea and Delcroix doing well. Zaroury well off the pace. Decent half from us

[PremierLeagueClass]

Nope he’s not suited to this league at all.

He’s like your Weghorst shout, not the right type of player for this league. He offers **** all

I’d stop digging. Truly awful understanding of the game.

[Nonayforever]

Been keeping an eye on both Foster and Richarlison.
Foster has been a passenger compared to Richarlison who has worked his socks off.

[Mark the Claret]

Done better than Foster

Clearly clueless I identified foster as a talent before we even signed him.

Your pick was dumped out of the club after 6 months haha.

Amdouni is a talented player but this league is just not the right league for him. He lacks the physicality and pace to be affective.

[Burnleyareback2]

Good grief, some of the posts on here! Pull yourselves together FFS

[HahaYeah]

If anyone wants subbing its Foster.

[boatshed bill]

Another positive: Cullen's covering is class.

[Foshiznik]

He’s looked good coming for crosses but all of Spurs chances have come from his distribution. Something Trafford gets slaughtered for when doing the same.

[Buxtonclaret]

Verbal diarrhea at its most loose.

[Dark Cloud]

Not bad from us, but still can't help feeling it's only a matter of time before something happens down our right. Vitihno cannot defend against genuine quality and Johnson has him all ends up. Ramsey looks dodgy, but tbf he's been given a couple of crap passes under real pressure so not all his fault.
