Quite an expensive bench for us there …

What we never had under Dyche. Options on the bench to come on change games

We’ll need strength in depth throughout the season. Last couple of seasons in the prem we were knackered if we got a few injuries. Paper thin squad

VK has said on several occasions that selection is based on who shows best in training.

Thought Al Dakhil looked even worse but he's still in. Don't think we can draw much conclusions from this line up tbh.

No way you're going to buy 7 wingers to then play Gudmondsson all season.

I mean I like football and it’s good to have a plan but this shoite is turning a passion into a school science lecture.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:32 pm

It is the same every Monday Night Football. A sizeable portion of the show is devoted to some action from the weekend just gone or a feature on a particular team. Burnley v Nottingham Forest doesn’t require a 45 minute preview so there is some content for the neutral.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:34 pm

My gut says:

A midfield-2 makes me nervous, especially if Brownhill is a holding CM, because he's never as good there as he is behind the front line, so gotta hope JBG is playing in centre midfield-3 in a 4-3-3, and not out wide, leaving Brownhill and Cullen alone covering the middle of the pitch.

Did not see the Taylor selection coming (I imagine Taylor has been banging the manager's door down to get a game, probably justifiably, but still...I'm surprised)

If the line-up graphic is correct, it's weird AF to play three-quarters of your defence out of their natural positions, so gotta hope this is an incorrect graphic, because otherwise Kompany is playing some ballsy 4D chess.

Forest are by far the weakest of the PL games we've played this season, so I think we're going to look much better tonight.

COME ON BURNLEY

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:34 pm

No problem with it being neutral but show some ´action’ not possession stats and percentages of percentages.

Forest are not that weak they have a very potent top 4 now..

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:38 pm

Still weaker than Villa, City and Spurs though, Goalposts. Definitely more representative of the average PL team.

Is clarets player commentary working

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:49 pm

Foster does well, shoots but comfortable save.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:50 pm

Foster looking sharp already.

Good effort from Koleoso great ball from Charlie T

Great ball by Taylor.

Promising start from us.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:54 pm

We are going to get NOTHING from this ref.

We've started OK though.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:56 pm

Ref finally gives us a fK

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:56 pm

Ref completely affected by the crowd

What a pathetic homer

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:56 pm

Trafford booked for time wasting

Outside of the big decisions that's about as crap reffing as you'll see.

Ref is a tit.

What an idiot, I'd have booked him myself, have they not learnt anything this weekend

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:57 pm

Going to be a very open game. Lots of energy from both teams.

Ref books Trafford - no warning.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:57 pm

Clearly playing to the crowd.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:57 pm

More than a tit. That was absolutely ridiculous. Game gone to pot.

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:58 pm

Wonder if this homer is gonna get above a 5 in the consistency ratings

I'll keep my ******* stop watch out for these clowns

We are hanging by a thread at the back. Cut up so easily.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:59 pm

Very worrying how easily they got in down our right just then

This referee is an absolute ****.

Proper small man centre of attention syndrome.

Ooh Charlie Taylor

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:00 pm

PL referees are a farce.
VAR is a shield for them, takes the blame off their bad or biased decisions and has everyone focused on VAR as if it's some mythical abstract AI rather than the same circle of tossers just sat at a monitor.
European leagues manage VAR.
Other sports manage VAR.
Some leagues and sports even mic up the refs, time was that refs actually had to give interviews too.
But nah, that's all deemed to be questioning their peerless integrity and competence. PL Refs are brill, it's everything else- VAR, the rules of the game, the ball, the time of day, the weather in Kathmandu that's the problem.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:00 pm

We look more balanced with Taylor in the side. We still look vulnerable.

Edit: Then we give posssession away cheaply. A little nervy after my post!

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:00 pm

Looking iffy on our right. Roberts being swamped and JBG not helping out. Not helped by constantly giving the ball away.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:00 pm

Taylor has done well defensively so far.
