Spurs and Man United were 17th and 15th last season, why are they suddenly now top 6 sides to suit your argument? Man united are so shite they nearly gifted us a point despite steam rolling us. (albeit they lost) but United absolutely spanked Arsenal at home this year, beat Chelsea and I think they...

The algorithms have done a real job on people - as evident with some of the responses in this thread.

An incredibly dark day.

Major props to the law enforcement on the scene who prevented it from being any worse.

Goal scoring machine - seems like he's just added heading to his locker as well as his all-around link-up play.

For me has the potential to be the greatest goal scorer and perhaps even striker of all time. He's incredible.

I've seen Foster taking some stick about not being in the right place at the right time or not playing like an out and out number nine. The way we are setting up means he is having to run channels and press from the front. I believe this suits his game anyway, picking the ball up in the left channe...

CoolClaret

Our strongest central midfield (I don't think we have seen them together yet) on paper is Luis, Cullen and Ugochukwu. It appears to have a good balance and something we can build the team around. IMO this is where we start with our team selection and then fit the other elements of the side around t...

Henley and Lowry the two best on the day - very high level match, again massive respect to Shane Lowry, absolutely magic on those last 3 holes. Sensational stuff.

CoolClaret

Easy to say with hindsight, but do you think Donald was going for the kill with the lineup today? Perhaps a more spread out lineup would have been a better strategy... Again easy to say... I do believe if Rosie had dropped his putt or Young had missed his, we'd have wrapped that up early. Ludvig Abe...

CoolClaret

Lowry you beauty.

CoolClaret

Calm vibes lads.

Big Shane & co have got this

CoolClaret

Be honest, when he hit that one 50-60 yard through ball to (I think Foster?) from deep in the final minutes of the game against Sheff Wed? he looked like absolute mustard and we all got very excited..

... sadly that was quickly put to bed with his showing against PNE!

Quick question what time does the actual golf start,not all the waffling by the likes of that bellend Faldo,the actual first tee off thanks in advance

17:02 our time!

CoolClaret

Only just noticed in the stats that CoolClaret linked above that Scheffler has been in the top 6 players for strokes gained in the last 3 sessions. Interesting. That stat measure, which is good because it has an average for the field of zero so ignores the easiness of the course, does have one iffy...

CoolClaret

Yep. The Europeans have been the more dominant team over the last 20-25 years and players like Tiger have shown that it doesn't suit their mentaility on the golf course - arguably Scheffler is doing the same this time. Unquestionably a man you would put your house on in a normal, singles tournament...

CoolClaret

Think he's playing 3 at the back because he doesn't rate any of our options to partner Esteve in a back 4.

Though I do think he needs to get Cullen Les, and Florentino playing together. We've splashed out on two of those and the other is our captain.... they simply have to play.

CoolClaret

https://datagolf.com/ryder-cup/strokes-gained Justin Rose is +4.56 strokes gained on the day for putting and +5.84 sg overall... the next highest player on putting (Lowry) is +1.01 on putting, overall (JJ Spaun) is +1.96. Rosie has just put on one of the all-time best performances in any sport, ever...

I had the pleasure of having lunch with Billy Foster last week and he called pretty much everything that has happened, right down to Finnis getting stuck in if it came to it. What DeCahambeau's caddy did was unnecessary and there was no need for it. Pretty much the same as happened with McIlroy and...

CoolClaret

DeChambellend shat his pants when Finnis went over and had a word... Big baby

CoolClaret

Only watched a bit of the game (20 mins either side of half time) so can't really comment on the match, but feel like SP has to get Les, Florentino and Cullen into the side and yes, that probably means going to a back 4. I like three at the back... some times (Glasner/Palace play it fantastically we...

Call me mad, but we've got a chance with Rodri missing out.

Ever since Pep joined City, they tend to be a touch more 'vulnerable' when they don't play a dominant DM

Didn't he play in the first game, got himself stupidly sent off and was subsequently banned for 3 games?

Subbed on, and did a cynical foul stopping a city break - the type that we did a lot in the VK years.

Does that really count as a chance?

"mismanaged" sorry but I'm not sure about that.

Not really given a chance in the PL, then shipped out to Hull the following Jan, confidence ruined.

The Adidas Burnley stuff is simply another level to anything else we've had.

I'd love the club to use that badge. Infinitely better than the rubbish it was replaced by.

I liked the designs that Mitre used just before adidas as well but since then I agree, nothing has come close.

CoolClaret

Well it wasn’t a 3 at the back, was it? It was a 5, we were sat deep, I can’t recall a single cross from either of the “wing backs”. Well that's what happens with 3 at the back when you don't have the ball, unless you want the wingbacks not to track back at all and just stand high and wide all game...

CoolClaret

Then you get onto the system, 5 defenders against League One dross at home. The team sat deep, parking the bus, pressing 1 at a time. Passing sideways and backwards. There’s absolutely no reason for Edwards, Broja and Flemming to ALL be behind the ball in their own half. No idea why we need Edwards...

The clue is in the title, (cricket club) , so anything else out of season is nothing they can take for granted, so will be impossible to plan for.

Interesting... Is it possible he gets recalled in January? Or is it a season-long loan without recall option?

CoolClaret

The cricket club should not be counting football matches into their business plan, the football match weekends are a bonus which they have to try and make as much as possible, but the FC have no need to help them. Moronic comment. Should every pub/social club in Burnley also not factor football mat...

Parker 3 - a woeful managerial performance, shameful, disgraceful and we need to demand an apology. Five at the back against a League One side and even then our wingbacks didn’t push up much, and our inside forwards were asked to track back which was farcically negative. We had nobody up front to b...

If they are pressing and playing a high line, why are we passing it around at the back? We should be hitting it long to cut out their press.

I don't blame the selection so far, I think we've got more than enough to win the game, people are acting like we've put out an U21's side, all of those players will feature in the PL and some will be considered starters for us. It's on Parker to get somthing better out of the next 45 though. Not s...

Agree but it is the message it sends, that he isn’t bothered, when he doesn’t name a single one of our best XI on the bench. That’s why we see zero motivation, they get the vibe the manager isn’t bothered, which, lets be frank, he isn’t. Last season we sacked off the FA Cup with an easy route to th...
