Sonne has been awful tonight

He is awful tbh. Looks like a lower league player.

Hate to throw shade on one of our own players, but I don't see anything that he does well.

If only Tresor could make the 1st team ,more quality than most.

Good work Hannibal

I think Tresor has flattered to deceive. Made a few eye-catching dances but his end product has been poor. All fart and no solid.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:43 pm

I think we are now at the point where Parker needs some stern questions about why Tresor is not in the squad.

A lack of goals will cost us in the end.

Hannibal has played pretty well.

The rest I’ll be glad not to see until January.

Bloody awful tactics from the start……….too deep no urgency…………..

Pity the club didn't consult you first seen as it sounds like you apparently knew that he was going to be ill/injured.

What a stupid comment, he’s been injured, not he was going to be injured.

rosswallacefreekick · Post by **rosswallacefreekick** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:44 pm

Fair play to Cardiff. Set up really well and worked together as a team throughout. We didn’t seem to know what we were doing for 60 minutes.

Too little too late, a fair result.

All over. First half cost us the match. Awful. Much better 2nd half, with a flame up their bum

You won't se them as a unit until FA Cup 3rd round day.

Parker complaining about the 6 extra minutes said it all and among the very many lowlights of a depressing night

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:45 pm

Ouch.

Disappointing. That was a decent team out there, they should have done better.

SonofPog · Post by **SonofPog** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:45 pm

Fair play to Cardiff, they worked hard with some quality give and go football.

Our 2nd eleven a mixture of unfit, uninterested and not good enough.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:46 pm

Fully deserved win by Cardiff, passed us off the pitch.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:46 pm

Ekitike has been sent off for Liverpool after scoring and taking his shirt off. Bit ridiculous when he knows he is on a yellow. Are they not using VAR this round or is it just when Liverpools goal looked like it could be offside they don't use it?

scouseclaret · Post by **scouseclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:46 pm

I think we may be making the mistake of thinking Parker gave a **** about winning that game.

Goliath · Post by **Goliath** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:46 pm

As I said before the game. Parker showed no interest in winning that game. Humphreys in midfield was an absolute joke.

There had clearly been absolutely zero preparation for the game in terms of pressing patterns, it was an absolute shitshow from start to finish.

Tresor once again showing he is levels above most of our squad in terms of ability. We probably won't see him in a Burnley shirt again now. I'd much prefer to see him than Edwards.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:46 pm

Embarrassing. Second best by some distance.

Ptgclaret · Post by **Ptgclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:46 pm

Shambles that. It's like they had an extra man - Flemming and Broja marking no one in the middle being completely ineffective without the ball, letting them overload us else where.

The quality of players we had on that pitch we should have won, simple.

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:46 pm

Sounds as if we will be very exposed if many of this team is called upon due to injuries in our regular players
How many do we lose to the Africa cup?

KlyBfc · Post by **KlyBfc** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:47 pm

Starts and ends with scott parker that. Formation, tactics, team selection (well bench) and subs. Dont get me wrong 99% of the players (Hanibal aside) didnt look like they could be bothered, neither did us as a fan base, but Parker was fundamentally at fault.

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:47 pm

Improved 2nd half after a woeful first. Cardiff fully deserved the win. Hard to take though

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:47 pm

If Tresor was much cop we'd have won that 3-2. Granted he may just need more time but i remain to be convinced he has much to offer, and in a PL context

He put a couple of excellent passes through which we should have done better with.

Holmechapel · Post by **Holmechapel** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:48 pm

Edwards and Tresor certainly have the quality ,but not the effort ,Hannibal all effort but not all quality ,Humphreys,Worrall ,Broja and several others way off it.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:48 pm

I'll always forgive mis-placed passes and missed shots - I'll not forgive lack of effort. That first half was shameful

This.

We pressed really poorly high up the pitch to begin with, and then the back line was sat far too deep which left acres of space in the middle.

Utterly bemusing tactics tonight from SP when usually he is spot on.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:48 pm

Tresor looks a class apart.

Fleming took his goal well.

The rest did themselves no favours with the manager for the team selection for Saturday.

CalamityClaret · Post by **CalamityClaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:49 pm

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

My main concern is Parker thinks Banel is a better option now in both league cup ties. Tresor may not be the answer in the prem but i am absolutely certain Banel isn’t either.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:49 pm

You can see the difference though with our players. Broja was screaming for the ball and Sonne either didn't see him, ignored him or just decided it was too difficult. Walker or Cullen would have had him in straight away.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:49 pm

We certainly learned a lot tonight about some of our players and have to say the tactics were not alot better
Fail to see how Babel is brought on before Tresor

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:49 pm

There's not one attacking player I'd have on the bench before Tresor. Unless his illness means he can't play, getting 10 minutes in the carabao Cup is almost insulting. I wish a journalist would ask a direct question

Dy1geo · Post by **Dy1geo** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:49 pm

Would like to see Tresor make the squad for the first team, his pass in the match against Derby and his performance tonight deserves it.

Bow · Post by **Bow** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:49 pm

I really hope Broja improves

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:49 pm

Sonne was the worst player on the pitch.

Flixtonclaret1 · Post by **Flixtonclaret1** » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:51 pm

All on Parker that performance.
The midfield looks none existent on paper and the stats showed it …. not a tackle in sight.

Hannibal aside - no one could be bothered.

Note to self when FACup tickets go on sale if this is SP mantra.
