Muric is class !

Right bit of play by Muric there.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:44 pm

How I’ve missed Muric’s passing.

Muric, so calm on the ball, such a talented distributer. I've missed watching him work his magic.

He’s absolutely magic

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:44 pm

Muric is class, look at how well he’s passing. He’ll be very unlucky if he loses his shirt for me. Very.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:45 pm

Love Muric me.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:45 pm

Al-Dakhil is gonna cover like 25k a game playing like this

Rotating fullback by the looks of it. Roberts role, but because he's a lot bigger it looks (and actually is) more impressive.

I really don't see the problem with the kit at all, it's absolutely fine. Not sure what the expectations are?

Benson not in squad again. Bit worrying

Why? he is still injured been confirmed on here a few times

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:46 pm

Brilliant choices for friendlies. We're facing top sides here, they close you down so fast, really have to be quick and switched on against them.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:46 pm

Really liking the shape here.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:46 pm

My stream might be a bit behind everyone else's, is everyone talking about Muric coming our 40 yards and playing to his left?

"Pay the ticket money just to see him" etc isn't usually said about a keeper but he's a proper flair player, he's class.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:46 pm

Offside given but superb from Muric

jos · Post by **jos** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:46 pm

Some great footwork by a pressing Benicia.

Moorite · Post by **Moorite** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:46 pm

Muric had a great opening 15 minutes.

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:47 pm

Playing well

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:47 pm

I love the big big "R" that flashes up when they show you a replay , like something from the 70s

Can see him being flagged up offside before the game ends.

Muric really does make some pretty passes.

O’Shea playing cb

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:49 pm

It's amazing how compact we become whenever Benfica get close to the final third of the pitch. More compact even that Dyche was. Totally smothers them.

123EasyasBFC · Post by **123EasyasBFC** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:49 pm

How relaxed muric is, is key to how we play

I’m ripping up my new ST if he’s not #1.

If it ever arrives

Like our Iniesta!

Twine, Weghorst, JBG and Townsend all bright for me.

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:50 pm

If you were (going to sell Muric if) he is got to be worth upwards of 20 mill?

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:50 pm

Some great stuff from us here

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:50 pm

great move from Burnley, unlucky townsend

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:50 pm

Close from Townsend

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:51 pm

Muric is genuinely my favourite player.

I think he’s absolutely mustard

Cork & Al Dakhil have done well too.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:51 pm

Also, you’re mad if you don’t think Weghorst is starting week 1.

His link up play is class

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:52 pm

Andros goes close after fine break by the yellow Clarets

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:52 pm

Andros Trialist looking decent so far.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:52 pm

Townsend looking good.

Do we honestly need Tella for 15m if we sign him as well?

That would be 4 wingers plus JBG.

I’d rather spend the money on centre midfield!

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:52 pm

Cannot be said strongly enough that a relative B side for us here is competing very, very well with the Champions of Portugal.

AGENT_CLARET · Post by **AGENT_CLARET** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:52 pm

Townsend looking good

Weghorst linking play well and tracking back

Townsend is playing for a contract. He’s never stopped running. He’ll be shattered by HT.
They look like a side that’s been in the CL forever.

Apart from Ingles, Burnley and odd Burnley player names.. I have no clue what they are rambling

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:54 pm

I think Wout is shite but his workrate and the ground he covers is and always has been great. (he just does it slowly

)

O’Shea right back first called by RV

Looks like Al Dahkil playing RB. O’Shea more central
