Can't understand not playing a midfield three of Cullen, Florentino and Ugochukwu. Feels like Parker is overthinking it with this five at the back, it's not worth it if it means leaving out someone as good as Les.

3 very similar players imo. Primarily defensive midfielders.

CalamityClaret

A very impressive young man

Rooney is beyond awful as a pundit. Zero charisma, can barely speak the language and looks as ill at ease in front of the camera as he would in front of a bowl of salad.

It is bizarre. The man is barely an idiot. They cannot keep going with him. I find it excruciating to watch

CalamityClaret

Weiß 6 Sonne 3 (if I could give less I would) Tuanzebe 4, just a very poor game Worrall 4, I thought he would be a leader. Looked lost Humphreys 4, not up to speed Pires 6, up and down but had no outlet on so many occasions Hannibal 5, tried harder than most and wanted the ball. Just did nothing wit...

CalamityClaret

Why on Earth were we sat so deep and didn't try to push up or support when going forward. Never put any pressure on Cardiff at all. Can't believe what I've just watched. It was very strange

CalamityClaret

We're not trying to win this game or so it would appear. The amount of space they have all over the pitch is just odd

CalamityClaret

That was a shocking half. Please take a central defender off

CalamityClaret

I won't lose any sleep over it but that was very odd. Great work Burnley. It only matters what we think UTC

CalamityClaret

I'm I in 1st here?

Apparently only one team played in that game

CalamityClaret

We've been blessed with our keepers for years. His performances so far has been right up there. Superb addition

CalamityClaret

Tremendous player. Real leader and what a player.

CalamityClaret

Brilliant game of football

CalamityClaret

Really good from us in this half. Come on Burnley. Brilliant stuff

CalamityClaret

We've come up trumps with this keeper. Really impressed

CalamityClaret

Definitely a 5 at the back to start

He'd have surely gone 5 at the back if he was aiming for a point. That would have been very defensive.

I hope you're right but still don't see where the creativity in the middle comes from

CalamityClaret

Very defensive team. Can't see any creativity in the middle. Hopefully Parker has something up his sleeve. Got to go for more than a point against these at home at the outset

CalamityClaret

Nothing weaker than turning your back on a shot/cross. Let his mates and fans down. We were excellent today. It's been a tough start but we'll make a good scrap of this season

CalamityClaret

But now it's basically a defensive midfielder? How did I do on the transition? I know I should have just Googled it on reflection. I'm sure I'm not alone though

CalamityClaret

Cheers

CalamityClaret

Or is transition counter attacking/ hitting on the break?

CalamityClaret

Please feel free to correct me on the 1st 2 but I've no idea about number 3. Cheers

1. Low block - sitting deep
2. Transition - winning the ball back in defence and moving the ball forward
3. Pivot - no idea

CalamityClaret

True but they are wrong to think that though

Most posters have scored higher than you, it’s all about opinions which people are allowed.

True but I'm allowed to think they are wrong BV.

CalamityClaret

These scores are mental. We were awful

CalamityClaret

Dubravka 9
Walker 5
Ekdal 4
Esteve 4
Hartman 3
Cullen 5
Hannibal 3
Anthony 3
Foster 7
Ugo 6
JBL 5 one for the cross

CalamityClaret

100% pen. We were awful. Absolutely stunk the place out. These things happen though.

A reality check
This is the Premier League and we are going to be backs against the wall in just about every game
With not much on the bench to offer anything different

We aren't even competing though. Everyone is aware this was a big ask but that half was pathetic

CalamityClaret

We're so far away from them it's horrible to see. So disappointing. The time and space they have combined with our dallying on the ball and lack of options is shocking. As for our defence, just awful

CalamityClaret

Hartman is a real worry when isolated but we 2nd best everywhere. Tough watch and so disappointing

CalamityClaret

I don't really care about how we played tbh. Just great to see some of them able to play again

CalamityClaret

Any of the none starters with Foster. Him getting a goal will give him the confidence Infront of goal he desperately needs

CalamityClaret

Please take JBL off for Edwards. Also look totally devoid of an no10. Far too deep and Foster completely isolated on most occasions. Not good this

CalamityClaret

Wrong thread, sorry

CalamityClaret

We look like we're playing without a no 10. The lack of a Claret shirt Infront of there defence is massive

CalamityClaret

I'd have JBL off now

CalamityClaret

We're sitting far too deep and no where near them when they have the ball. Foster far too isolated

If it's a foul yes

Probably not now I've stopped shouting

So if a player is pushed over in the area, but the ball is at the other end of the pitch, you’d want a penalty?

If it's a foul yes

Was never getting that ball. No pen

It was a foul. Why does it matter where the ball is?

CalamityClaret

Zero problem with this. Anyone who says they want playing for Burnley to be the pinnacle of their career is either full of s**t, no ambition or just not good enough to play higher. I love Burnley but if I was good enough I would want to play for one of the biggest clubs in the World. He honesty is r...

I’m absolutely devastated with this news

A lovely tribute. Before my time but what we wouldn't give for a bloke like that upfront. What an incredible goal record. Cheers Bill, RIP

Always a Claret

CalamityClaret

Apologies if this has already been cleared up but did we ever see the Vitinho cash from this bunch of chancers? I haven't seen any updates recently

CalamityClaret

Absolutely gutted with this one. Really wanted to see how he'd cope in the PL along side Esteve. He didn't fancy it so that's up to him. As someone said above I wish him no good luck or ill will. Who cares how he does. That is football

CalamityClaret

Admittedly I haven't seen much of him but going off both play off games Bellingham has been very disappointing

CalamityClaret

Please excuse me being an accountancy simpleton but since the takeover are we paying off the debt, is it increasing or do we simply not know? If the greater minds could answer that it would be really appreciated.

You’d imagine selling Trafford and/or Esteve this summer, in addition to the £88m of player sales in the current year and PL money, should see us on the right side of the line regrading PSR.

True but what an awful blow that would be.
