Thread for tonight?

[Belial]

We look exactly what we are tonight (and most of the season)... mod table championship standard

[jedi_master]

I'm not seeing a decent player in Amdouni.

Poor player in this team but would excel in one that is dominating the ball I feel. Like for us, next season in the Championship. I cannot see someone buying him for a fee we’d see as worthwhile - he’s not done enough.

[simonclaret]

Nice feet Fofana

[Goalposts]

Woohoo shot on goal

[alwaysaclaret]

Ramsey?! His subs are baffling I have to say, what has Ramsey done to warrant helping us in a 3 nil down situation

I was just thinking, the subs he's made means nobody has a clue where their suppose to be playing. Baffling

[Safron]

now 5 4 1
might have been a good idea to start with something similar

Exactly very strange tactics??

[Bosscat]

Nice feet Fofana

Looks like he has something

[SussexDon1inIreland]

We’re 500/1 for a draw

[Spiral]

Fact that Fofana actually tries to do something and instantly becomes our MOTM tells you everything you need to know about this game.

[GetIntoEm]

Looks like he has something

Yes, feet

[xxmunkyennuixx]

We look like beginner level AI on Fifa. We jog back. We jog alongside. No challenge. Just so passive. Normally reducing a side's failings to a lack of effort is totally reductive but **** me this team is cowardly. Not arsed about losing against this lot but it is the attitude on display. Same against Luton. Our attitude has been abject

[CoolClaret]

Please, we are down as is.

Please can we go 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 with the mad man in net.

At least make it semi entertaining. We are absolutely putrid

[Pickles]

Opposition aside, as tonight is a pointless exercise...

I think this has got to be the softest, most unlikeable Burnley team I've seen. There just doesn't seem to be any passion, pride or grit. I know it's an unquantifiable thing but you can sense it can't you? All footballers at this level are pampered - Mee and Tarkowski for example included. But this is the first time I can think of where that pampering has been obvious on the pitch. Feels like the last thing most of them want to do is play for Burnley.

[Westleigh]

Ewood is 7.5 miles away pal - go there then

This is as usual the standard most pathetic post of the night and of the season “if you don’t like it go and watch Rovers”it’s like having a bloody nodding dog in the back of the car,when I was working we used to call them yes men

[IanMcL]

Lionel Blair.

Lionel Bart

According to Leisure you need glasses for having that opinion haha

[CrosspoolClarets]

I'm not seeing a decent player in Amdouni.

Amdouni per 90 minutes is outscoring, among others, Calvert Lewin, Doku, Antonio and Hojlund.

Same goals as Rashford and Jesus. All non penalty stats. Off topic and out of interest, Chris Wood outscores Haaland on that non penalty goal per minute stat this season.

Its a notorious league to get goals in, Amdouni’s skill is ensuring he gets chances, his finishing and judgement can be ropey, but that can improve.

[burnleymik]

Berge is wasted sitting him mega deep, he is so much better carrying the ball.

Don't know why he is so often played in that deep role.

[Safron]

Disappointed with berge tonight very little involvement in possession

[Spiral]

Aye, that's it, why shoot when you can pass one more time.

[Pickles]

According to Leisure you need glasses for having that opinion haha

I may be completely wrong but sometimes it looks as if some of them out there have never spoken to each other.

Don’t think I’ve ever identified less with a Burnley team than this one.

[boatshed bill]

Well maybe this will suit you better:
If it hurts you this badly perhaps support a club that rarely gets beaten?
Or give up with football, it's only a game.

I genuinely feel for you.

[RVclaret]

Reminder, last seasons super duper mega team lost 6-0 here

Perhaps they realise that being at Burnley is just a short term project as far as they are concerned.
As soon as they show promise and increase their player value they will be sold on for a profit.

[Newcastleclaret93]

No you’re 100% right.

When you have city players in our half walking with the ball you have a serious issue

[Casper2]

According to Leisure you need glasses for having that opinion haha

I’m sure he has some spare Rose tinted ones

[ClaretLoup]

Feels like the last thing most of them want to do is play for Burnley.

Who can blame them when they are all there to be sold on? Add in the senior players who are nearly all OOC then you have the perfect storm in terms of morale.

[burnleymik]

According to Leisure you need glasses for having that opinion haha

..or maybe it was because he said you needed glasses if you think there hadn't been a single sprint from any Burnley player, to which he was correct.

[Spiral]

Don't care, still $hit.

[boatshed bill]

This is exactly why I felt our priority should be a strong defensive midfielder; Berge would be better further upfield (IMO)

[Ampth7]

Which is fine by me owing to the fact that other clubs have made this strategy a success. However, what our lot need to understand is that the big money opportunities won’t come if you are constantly s**t!!

[Kilson810]

Got to just laugh at O'Shea getting caught out by Haaland there. He's being charged down and just does not react, completely clueless.

[expoultryboy]

I know it won't make any difference tonight , but his substitutions do baffle/ annoy me . Why bring Ramsey and Roberts on when he could give Massengo a go ?

[CoolClaret]

Reminder, last seasons super duper mega team lost 6-0 here

Reminder - that was a rotated side, actually created chances and City were at their peak.

[Goalposts]

Just for context, we are playing a top top side…. The result is not unexpected - may get worse…. Short of a dyche style approach. We’re never in it

Isn’t that what a relegation threatened team can look like at times? We see it so often in other teams. That’s why I never criticise effort or desire because we have no idea what is really going on in their heads. Shell shocked is how I would describe us at times this season.

[jojomk1]

We've hardly had any possession

Yes but we've looked like that from the first whistle of the season.

[Casper2]

At least Roberts has got some fight

[Westleigh]

Robert’s showing he cares,the only one

[AGENT_CLARET]

How the **** does the City keeper not see a red card there

[boatshed bill]

I love that about Roberts. He's a bit of a nutter.

I make that an aggregate score of 62-5 to them

[CoolClaret]

Roberts new MOTM purely for actually showing a bit of grit

[bumba]

How the **** does the City keeper not see a red card there

Barge in the back is a yellow then he wraps his arm round his neck so at least two yellows. Odd decision

[Pickles]

How the **** does the City keeper not see a red card there

Don't want to sound flippant but it doesn't even matter does it? Man City could have just four players and someone from the stand and we still wouldn't get close to them.

[Safron]

Why does VK put noah on the bench if he never gives him a chance
