Can already see why the interest in Jed Wallace

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:09 pm

Bit sloppy at the moment, but not too concerned.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:11 pm

Really sloppy opening 10mins from us. They aren’t even pressing overly we just keep passing it away.

Roberts makes up for a sloppy pass into trouble by playing an even sloppier pass into trouble.
I just don't get why it's not working for him.
We're being outplayed at the moment.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:14 pm

WBA had the best of the opening 10 mins. they have had a few openings that a good team would definitely have punished us with. We seem to have dealt with them but we have made a few very sloppy passes in those wrong areas. Roberts with one which we managed to get away with.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:14 pm

Brilliant tackle in the box by THB

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:14 pm

Taylor saves Maatsen..

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:15 pm

Doesnt seeem to be much forward movement when we've the ball.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:15 pm

Some sloppy passing so far

Followed by Maatsen in the same way.....

Roberts and Maatsen guilty of some appalling turn overs so far

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:15 pm

Made more miss passes in first ten minutes than any 90 minutes in previous games

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:16 pm

None of our players are showing for the ball. Leaving the guy in possession no options.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:16 pm

Got to get on the front foot here, they're pushing us back most of the time.

Very little we're hugely reliant on long balls for Tella to run into or Brownhill or Vitinho finding a drive down the right. Otherwise it's a lot of aimless passing until we lose the ball.

Come on Burnley

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:19 pm

Vitinho saved by offside there

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:19 pm

Nice link up there between Tella and Maatsen.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:19 pm

Jay header.
Bit behind him though.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:20 pm

Vitinho wants his ar5e kicking for being offside. Easily the best set piece of the year so far.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:20 pm

Seem to be growing into the game after a nervy start.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:21 pm

This is basic physics. You cannot pass through a player.

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:21 pm

ESPN commentator recognizing we’re gradually taking control

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:21 pm

Good save Muric. That should have been a goal, thought it was.

I say that all the time about the local hockey team

Good save by Muric.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:22 pm

Maatsen is crap defensively

What is he doing

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:22 pm

Phew.
Decent save.
Come on Burnley!

They hit bar from effort from corner.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:22 pm

Muric good save

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:22 pm

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:23 pm

Muric left that!

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:23 pm

Vitinho sleeping so far. Doesn’t suit right wing at all.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:23 pm

Should be at least 2 down

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:24 pm

Very, very little movement, but Tella has a break.
Good effort!!

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:24 pm

Vitinho Said he prefers being on the right
But he seems to keep going backwards
Tella goes close

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:24 pm

Tella dangerous again.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:24 pm

Great effort from Tella

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:25 pm

Close by Tella.

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:25 pm

Jeez, d’ya think we can get Tella on a permanent?

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:25 pm

Tella's first touch is absolutely brilliant.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:25 pm

Roberts having a mare

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:26 pm

We should definitely be behind by now. Tella with a great touch and effort. Incredibly open nil-niller!

Would probably help if the fullback behind him wasn't constantly losing the ball and going missing in defence forcing him to recover.

I’m waiting as patiently as I can to ‘get’ Roberts. I’m struggling.

Vitinho doing very well defensively.
