MIGHTY CLARETS versus Citizens

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 1:12 pm

It's been forever, since our last match. We should be ready and very able to roar on our heroes.

Let's let it all out.

Madge is ready to let it all out, so let's make it count. We can do this!

Come on Burnley Come on Burnley Come on Burnley
Up the Clarets

I admire your optimism, Ian. Wish I could share it!
Ah, what the hell - Come on Burnley, Come on Burnley!

Nothing to lose today, I'll be keeping tabs on the match as I am watching my local side Littlehampton Town try to reach Wembley in their Vase semi final. Come on the Clarets and Marigolds!

Afternoon all from an overcast day here in Galway , now got covid last Saturday at the Irish international game and could do with a pick me up

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 1:28 pm

A goal would be my definition of achievement today. I await the team selection waiting to find out if Dyche has spent the last couple of weeks usefully.
Whatever , come on the Clarets!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 1:34 pm

Faith in our heroes is essential.
We love you Burnley we do!

Good afternoon every body the 442 lovers are in for a shock this afternoon it’s 451 yes 1 upfront who says dyche carnt change enjoy the game all uptheclarets

Afternoon Clarets everywhere. Live on Premier2 over here which is a delight but has lost me an evening at Munster v Leinster egg chasing. Just can’t make it to Limerick for ko.
Priority is cheering us on to 3 points. COYC.

At last 3 in cm and 1 striker against City. That gives us a chance of getting something or not getting battered.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:06 pm

Sensible approach with a 451. Just try and keep the goal difference down this afternoon.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:08 pm

Need to get Weghorst up against Ake and not Laporte. He can win that battle.
I’d have preferred Lowton to Roberts for this match but SD knows best.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:09 pm

Uninspiring starting eleven

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:11 pm

Even more uninspiring bench

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:13 pm

Will say this before the game/loss…

Well done to Dyche for changing things.

Not sure there is a change? Isn’t Brownhill just playing alongside Weghorst instead of Cornet

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:14 pm

I like the selection. has anything happened to Bardsley. He's not on the bench.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:14 pm

Never mind the stats for Westwood and McNeill will be great with their short passes backwards

He’ll be playing deeper than second striker I’d assume in a 4-4-1-1 or advanced 8 in a 4-5-1.

In for a very long afternoon, zero pace anywhere on the pitch , be lucky to get out of our own half, I predict zero efforts on goal

Not in my seat, Covid

Come on Burnley

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 2:45 pm

Feeling optimistic, Barnes to get the winner from the bench.

Good start but we’ll do well to keep
It under five. COYC.

Super move from Burnley! (Clarets+)

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:06 pm

This is a really decent effort from Josh Brownhill!

It's whipped in early from the right and he fires a dangerous header inches past the left post. (BBC)

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:06 pm

Only taken 5 minutes: 0-1

That didn’t take long, good goal.

Game over.

Surprised we held it together for so long

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:07 pm

Heads down after 5 minutes, well done

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:08 pm

Went for a **** and it's 1-0. Bloody hell.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:08 pm

McNeil didn't mark anyone. Taylor went narrow expecting him to mark Sterling.

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:08 pm

McNeil...

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:09 pm

Well that was quick, good defending from Taylor and Tarkowski, both just handing out goals this season. 3 central midfielders and Rodri has all the space in the world on the edge of the box, where is the pressure on the ball?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:09 pm

Definition of ball watching from McNeil for the goal

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:10 pm

yet again like the goal, Rodri has all the space in the world on the edge of the box 2 minutes later, this team doesn't learn

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:10 pm

Doesn't matter what excuses are made they are just too good, men v boys

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:10 pm

Awful defending that. Both fullbacks nowhere near men, no one in the box goal side. We've given up.

Nothing special about that goal. We have totally given up. Time to play the young lads.

Not that we were ever likely to get anything from this game anyway, but still, it’s a pathetic start and game over.

Wouldn’t say it was men vs boys. Just the best team in the world vs Burnley.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:12 pm

for the 3rd time in 3 minutes, Rodri has all the space in the world on the edge of the box. Hello midfield where art thou

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:13 pm

McNeil has been garbage for too long now.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:13 pm

Its damage limitation already.

Could be a red card this
