Millwall v Burnley match thread

[HollandsPies]

Cockney winkers.

[simonclaret]

Zaroury doing some good work on the left, couple of decent crosses.

[NRC]

That top tier behind Muric’s goal is a real estate wilderness!

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Come on super Burnley

[simonclaret]

Long shot straight at Muric. Another chance hooked over by Honeyman.

[RVclaret]

Bit sloppy last 5 from us. Millwall being given some joy from our own accord.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Seem to have lost our shape

[HiThere]

Some very sloppy passes half a dozen times this half.

[tarkys_ears]

...

can we play ******* football please?

Fed up of this playing from the back ********.

[ElectroClaret]

Started giving the ball away carelessly, got to tighten up on that.

[MancunianClaret]

What is that droning Millwall chant? Goes on forever. Sounds like human vuvuzelas.

[HiThere]

We need to wake up.

[burnleymik]

They are getting on top now, wasted a couple of good chances. We need to get a grip

[jojomk1]

The better side
But we are giving the ball away far too much with sloppy passes

[MancunianClaret]

Here he is. Muted.

[Mrpotatohead]

...

This playing from the back ******** called football?

[tarkys_ears]

Not when it's done for the sake of doing it to say "HEY WE PLAY FROM THE BACK"

I noticed it hasn't been done since.

Maybe I'm right afterall?

[Jimmymaccer]

Now now girls….

[tarkys_ears]

Girls?

Sorry for expecting too much from these professionals who seem to have forgotten how to gently kick a ball to each other

[simonclaret]

Just wide from Twine. Having a decent game ST.

[RVclaret]

Yeah, he's linking it well

[HiThere]

Unlucky Twine.
Better play now.

[ksrclaret]

Must be half term where tarkys_ears is

[Robbie_painter]

Girls?

These professionals that are currently 12 points clear at the top of the league?

[simonclaret]

Great pressure from us again. Scuffed shot from Zaroury.

[RVclaret]

Another half chance for Anass, who's been excellent so far

[HiThere]

Nearly!

[AmbleClaret]

Girls?

Sorry for expecting too much from these professionals who seem to have forgotten how to gently kick a ball to each other

These professionals who are currently 12 points ahead at the top of the league. Christ,some people on here could do with a couple more brain cells on match days.

[NRC]

Why do we have to wait for some dude with a towel?

[Longsider]

One just before half time would be good. Come on Burnley

[SussexDon1inIreland]

HT

[AmbleClaret]

Sorry,you beat me to it. Not much between Tarkys ears is there?

[spt_claret]

Barnes is slowing our play up way too much tonight after a few decent games. He gets that early ball to Zaroury quicker or better that's a goal. And if he's a quicker more mobile player he probably converts or at least hits the target from Vitinhos cross.

We're ripping them apart for pace and skill but our crosses and cutbacks have either been sloppy or unlucky. If Tellas fit I'd be tempted to introduce him as the central striker honestly. Alternatively Obafemi or Foster. They're struggling with the frontlines mobility so go ultra mobile for me.

[simonclaret]

Everything but a goal. Well on top at HT.

[RVclaret]

Just ignore that tarkys ears , I thought we'd have learned that by this point in the season, complete weirdo

[HollandsPies]

I like this playing out from the back, if only to annoy _ears.

Agree with this spt re. Barnes and I got slammed for saying this after the Luton game.

You must’ve hated last year, then.

We couldn’t string two passes together all season.

[Longsider]

Yep. Let's get Obafemi on.

[RVclaret]

Some brilliant football that half. Just lacking the finishing touch. Barnes should play a simple ball to Zaroury to make it 1-0 but messes it up. Twine, Zaroury, Maatsen and Cullen looking good.

[spt_claret]

Agree with this spt re. Barnes and I got slammed for saying this after the Luton game.

I think against Luton his offensive product was limited but he was also always going to be needed for the physical battle.
Tonight we look like we could go rampant once we get one, but like we're just a little too slow or wayward with crosses. Fast forward and first time cutbacks along the deck strikes me as the solution.

[jedi_master]

I am surprised that Bird’s Co-comms has been criticising Twine. Other than Zaroury he has been our biggest threat and has been tidy in possession.

[ElectroClaret]

HT.
Pretty good first 30 mins then let them get into the game
with some poor passing on our part.

[HiThere]

They're another physical side who are resorted to booting it long for the most part.

[burnleymik]

Apart from 5 mins we have been well on top. Should have taken one of those chances, but we have worked them hard and I think it will tell second half.

Twine certainly looks better tonight and you can see they are worried about Zaroury.

COYC!

COYC!

They seem to be worried about Vitinho too when Roberts gets the ball.

[Devils_Advocate]

Missed the first 10 mins p*ssing about with my IPTV but apart from a 5 minute spell I thought we seemed to boss the game and played some good stuff.

Think its gonna need a few subs to help make the breakthrough and my moneys on Obifemi to come on and grab us a winning goal.

Its mad to say this after the immense season he's had but we do look better in the middle with Brownhill playing alongside Cullen rather than Cork although you could argue the spells where Millwall did get on top may not have happened with Cork in the team

[HiThere]

75% possession and 85% pass success to their 59%. Their only real chances are going to come from some random unlucky deflection off a Millwall player with a Sheriff's badge for a head.

Yeah first 10 minutes I reckon we had 4 chances including the big one for Zaroury! Agree re. Brownhill/Cullen, bit more front foot.

[HiThere]

Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 2 after 40 minutes. Sounds like a good game.
