Your favourite non Burnley player.

I'm struggling to make tomorrow's game and the most dissapointing thing for me is missing Wilfrid Zaha play....obviously I hope we do a job on him and press his Buttons.....part of the fun. But I really like him as a player and his histrionics also.

He needs a good kicking in the first five minutes by Bardsley..Good player though..

Yes I'm in full agreement cos Bardlseys my favourite Burnley player so I'm hoping for row z... Though Bardsleys next yellows a ban I believe so maybe BOO! Might just stop him.

Lionel Messi. Him and Thierry Henry are the two players who, beyond the confines of the hallowed Turf, do it for me. Saw Messi and Neymar play together for Barcelona at Camp Nou and Messi scored a free kick from a ridiculous angle. Unbelievable Jeff!

I can't really appreciate other premier league players while we're in it.

Bergkamp and Zola were superb though.

Troy Deeney. He's a beast.

In the Premier League - Sergio Aguero.

Elsewhere - Messi and Ronaldo.

Just considering current players in the English leagues. As someone who played hundreds of games at full back, I like to see good full backs & really appreciate watching Andrew Robertson of Liverpool. He's got excellent judgement in defence and very good at timing runs/getting crosses in going forwards. Still got a few years to get even better too.
For a non-defender, I like to watch Eriksen of Spurs. Good control either foot, nice pass either foot and always available to receive, drifts into clever positions + the odd goal (though I can think of one I wish he hadnt got late in a game when he was subbed on).

At the turf : best , hoddle and Devonshire . Couldn't wait to see zlatan at old Trafford , and it was even better when Heaton pulled off that save ! Still not seen messi , I'm waiting until we qualify for the champions league .

Obviously a contentious one, but as a child it was Malcolm Macdonald.
Semi-recently, and as much for off-field as on, Eric Cantona.

Raheem Sterling. Pisses off all the right people

Always rated Scott Parker would have loved him in our midfield

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 9:05 pm

As a former keeper at school/sunday league teams, for me the games when David De Gea is being battered with shots and somehow pulls out saves, unbelievable.

Though for me, my absolute all time favourite player is Paul Scholes.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 9:13 pm

Zaha is also my favourite player to watch in the Premier League, well him and Hazard.... When they are firing on all cylinders - sublime

Jakubs Tash · Post by **Jakubs Tash** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 9:21 pm

Juan Roman Riquelme and the Brazilian Ronaldo

Johan Cruyff for me.

Rune vindheim shame he didn’t push on, mentioned as arfield & tripps already mentioned, so included a ex.

Harry Kane. Just a no-nonsense quality footballer.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 11:18 pm

David Silva is/was something special.

I have a lot of respect for De Gea too, rarely makes a mistake these days, and has single handed won United many a point this season. When he's on form he's unbeatable.

The best in the world for me.

Bop · Post by **Bop** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 11:38 pm

Never had much regard for non - Burnley players, But that Hazard is a bit good.

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 11:45 pm

Keiran Trippier... Thanks for scoring that peach of an own goal for Chelsea, I've gained a bit of absolution because the only ever own goal I scored was exactly the same.

A fantastic player for us and always talks good about Burnley but £3 Million????????????????? No wonder Burnley only have £24 million in the bank, it should be £54 million.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 11:47 pm

Surprised Cesc Fabregas hasn't warranted a mention,makes the game look easy at times.
