THE SUPER CLARETS vs Liverpool - Match Thread

[Dyched]

Come on you purples

[morninbob]

Laurent playing rcb was not on my bingo card..

[KateR]

Listening to Radio 5

[tarkys_ears]

Oooooofffff!!!!


Close from Anthony

Great stuff

[Procrastinate B]

Early days, but we’re doing well.

[ollieclarets8]

We look dangerous on the counter attack.

[ElectroClaret]

Doing well, keep it going lads.
COYC

[BobSykes]

Going to be hard work to get away with anything respectable today but we're doing fairly well, arguably should be ahead too. What is clear is that the Parker PL side looks to have a stronger Dyche like jaw than the Kompany one did. So that bodes well.

[Kgun5]

VAR already checked and it stays a yellow.

Not sure what U was supposed to do there, anyway.

[AfloatinClaret]

Conceding the corners is a smart ploy, pulls their defenders forward leaving space for Foster and Anthony to run into.

[ElectroClaret]

Yellow for Les.

[Goody1975]

Oliver, blow for the foul on Ekdal and none of this happens.

[Sutton-Claret]

The crowds making some good noise today

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Oliver has been utter sh!t so for even getting the injury protocol wrong

F**king basics!

[tarkys_ears]

Diving ****!

I think Oliver heard me shouting from 150 miles away and actually booked him.

[Procrastinate B]

Great call by the ref.

[Sutton-Claret]

Good from Foster

[ollieclarets8]

That was a corner. Nothing near a FK

[ollieclarets8]

How the f**k do you know that took a deflection? Pure bias.

[Procrastinate B]

I miss the days of long-sleeved Burnley shirts.

[tarkys_ears]

Can someone explain why Kerkez didn't get booked for that pulldown?

[Sutton-Claret]

Another foul on Ekdal

[ollieclarets8]

Can someone explain why Kerkez didn't get booked for that pulldown?

Plays for Liverpool.

[ElectroClaret]

Ekdal with the header.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

In terms of a rank bad half of officiating this is up there with the worst I've seen in recent years!

[KernowHouseClaret]

Can someone explain why Kerkez didn't get booked for that pulldown?

Already booked, *checks badge*, no foul...
Michael Oliver can't be sending a Liverpool player off like that

[Procrastinate B]

Nice idea.

[ClaretDiver]

Lads are playing out of their skins!!!

[Procrastinate B]

Shows how well we’re doing.

[ollieclarets8]

Their only real should score chance there.

[ClaretDiver]

Sky coverage team do not want to give us any credit!

[Kgun5]

I like the mettle of this group. I'm hopeful that we're in for a season without the 0-5 blowouts of past years.

[4:20]

They're not at their magical best are Liverpool but we've been so, so good at containing them. A brilliant defensive performance from us. Delighted it's 0-0 at the break. Come on Burnley.

[tarkys_ears]

******* awful refereeing. Got the call for dive correct but literally everything else wrong

The lads have been exceptional though but they've really got an uphill battle against the refs to contend with on top.

[Fretters]

Sky coverage team do not want to give us any credit!

Not sure that's true, they've mentioned how well we're doing quite a few times.

[munkyennui]

Oliver abysmal. Just watch the consistency on the shoves in the back. Enjoyed celebrating our free kicks.

[Procrastinate B]

Cracking display, but you get the feeling Liverpool might have that one moment of magic in them.

Happy, though.

[ollieclarets8]

Liverpool are not at their best very much because of how well we are set up and playing.

[burnleymik]

Really happy with that half. Some excellent work across the pitch from our lads.

[rosswallacefreekick]

Quietly looking like a class act. Much improved than the last time we were in the Prem!

[ollieclarets8]

Unless forced, I don't imagine we'll make any changes anytime soon and will see what changes they make.

We're playing well and have had some chances on the break where we could have done a bit better.

[Kgun5]

Oliver abysmal. Just watch the consistency on the shoves in the back. Enjoyed celebrating our free kicks.

Oliver is always a disaster, but other than the Mac Allister incident, he's been fairly innocuous.

[burnleymik]

Unless forced, I don't imagine we'll make any changes anytime soon and will see what changes they make.

I am not sure about that. Big Les on a yellow, so Parker may swap him out for Luis in the 2nd half.

Either way no player should be coming off due to performance. They have all done very well that first half.

[munkyennui]

Oliver is always a disaster, but other than the Mac Allister incident, he's been fairly innocuous.

It is the small inconsistencies. He's nowhere near some of the characters we saw last season but the little stuff is only going one way. For example Fozzy is up against it because they letting the two handed shove go, we will not get the same advantage. Or the corner he failed to give. We already are up against it and he stacks it further with the small decisions.

[ollieclarets8]

Either way no player should be coming off due to performance. They have all done very well that first half.

Agree with this bit. We've done well.

[KateR]

Been nervous about this game, but simultaneously looking forward to it. It’s going as expected, attack versus defense, right now I’m so pleased that in my mind, we’ve won the first half. However, I’m expecting Liverpool to move the ball faster in the second half and obviously we need to keep closing the space. I’ll be delighted with a draw, not thinking about the win yet, but maybe, just maybe I will with 10-5 minutes to go, stranger things have happened!!

[Taffy on the wing]

Sky coverage team do not want to give us any credit!

They really are pathetic the way they fawn on the big teams.

[Inchy]

They are all working their socks off as well. That’s all we can ask for today. Doing very well

[ollieclarets8]

What's Carragher on about.

Won the first half? Just got in in northern Thailand. You got me all excited, but it's 0-0.
