Surely there should be a thread about our Canadian international tonight?

Took his goal well.

Never seems to get the credit he deserves.

It was a sublime finish!

He reminds me of Doug Collins in his prime.

He has a thread now

Arfers was excellent until he got called up to the Canada squad, bizarrely he then was poor for a good while. I would not have been bothered had he moved on in the summer but this season, he has played fantastically well so far and I hope he can maintain this form.

To be fair there was a thread earlier which has been swamped and buried a bit in all the excitement.

I agree he has been superb since he joined us in 2013 and deserves huge credit - (and the freedom of Burnley)

Excellent today

Always steady. Always.

Took his goal superbly.

He strokes it in. Nice

Amazing few games for someone that I thought would be gone in the summer.

Shame on me, well done Scott

A true Claret.

As with most players he improves when those around him improve. He really has stepped up again

Training with Canada taught him how to pass. Incredibly for a player that couldn't before he now plays well centrally.

Dirty boy!

Almost became the new Ian Brennan.

Superbly taken goal.

I love Arfield, maybe not the most gifted player in the squad but reliable over several seasons and chips in with some important, and well taken, goals like today.

And we got him for a good price too

Yes, a well taken goal yesterday. I'm pleased for him. He's a very well liked member of our squad and clearly loves playing for us. I too thought his time with us was up come the end of last season. If I could have chosen between keeping him and Boyd I'd have chosen the latter some months ago. Now I'm less sure and that's credit to Arfield's recent performances.

Scott Arfield eptomises Burnley FC and what we are about.

Free transfer playing just over 170 games in four seasons, starting his fifth with us (3rd in Premier) and scoring 21 goals in the process from midfield.

Underrated by so many except SD and his coaching team......oh and of course his team mates.

Released by Huddersfield he has sent just the right message to SD when he contemplates his team for next week.

Anyway this is just a reminder of Mr Arfield's quality and what you've missed out on 'Udders !

Mr. Burnley

Even cheaper than Michael Duff!

Just listened to the Scott Arfield interview on ClaretPlayer.

A well rounded, mature young man and a credit to himself, the club and his family.

Not to mention us!

yes, Ian, great guy very professional attitude and kept saying its the 'team' and the 'squad' that's the important point 'not me'

I think he's much better suited to the attacking midfield role. A great winger in the Championship but ineffective in the PL.

Aye, it may prove to be the case. He certainly can strike a ball. It bodes well to have both him and Hendrick showing they're capable of playing that role in a 451. I like us playing that way too, I think it was clear we needed a plan B away from home and it's working well so far.

When he comes to mind, I'll always think of him and Duffer sprinting along
the Deadwood pitch to the fans (as in the above video) to celebrate his goal.

Great stuff. Great player for us.

Plus I think I'm right in saying that he likes Joy Division!

So many wrote him off, said they would rather have Boyd - The same Boyd who can't get a kick at Sheffield Wednesday.

He seems to come alive in the big games, and has a knack of scoring important goals - long may it continue

I'm far from Arfield's biggest fan but there is no denying that he will come in and do a good job, wherever he is asked to play.

The finish on Saturday was far more difficult than he made it look. Alongside his performance against Spurs, he's done a great job filling in for Hendrick.
