Unlucky Brownhill much more like it to work the opening though.

poor side Watford

Need to change things. 433, swap Barnes for Jay, Bastien or Cullen for Vitinho or Telles, stretch them wider and with a bit more urgency with a slightly more technical striker. We have so little penetration.

Get Benson off, everytime he gets the ball he just turns around and goes back to Roberts. He’s been utterly anonymous since he got hacked in the first five minutes.

This is some shocking football so far

Benson looks terrified!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:18 pm

Not many options going forward, when we've got the ball

Bastien goes close.

Not a good watch. We aren’t hurting them at all.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:19 pm

Bastien has picked up some better positions this half. Nice pass for the Brownhill effort too

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:19 pm

Cork been good since he came on

Jay and Tella on soon

He has to start unless there’s a fitness reason to prevent it.

I walk my dog with more urgency than this.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:21 pm

We desperately need a good striker.
An absolute priority.

Barnes might as well be selling the hotdogs.

We played further up the pitch vs Huddersfield and there were always midfielders running into the channel. I haven’t seen that at all this first half

Much better this half. Cork made such a difference. We’re now playing in their half and we’re changing it up with jay and Tella. This is going to get good now

We still haven’t learnt how to use the long throw effectively

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:21 pm

Why has Benson stopped going forwards? He looked so sharp last week, this week he hasn't pushed at all.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:22 pm

Ref is giving us zero

Think the 2 kicks he received in opening 5mins may have had an effect

It’s something he’ll have to get use to

Sadly we are worse at the Mo...

Get Jay on

Jay rod & Tella to come on .....Benson and Barnes off?

Hibsclaret · Post by **Hibsclaret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:22 pm

Let’s hope Tella is a fortune tella

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:23 pm

The negativity this early in the team’s development and season is crazy. Why even watch if you’ll be disappointed when your club doesn’t go undefeated each year?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:25 pm

You can tell how much we need and miss a Twine / O’Hare as well as a number 9. We’ve actually got the ball into some good spaces but then the final third has been poor.

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:26 pm

Bastien come more into it this half. Cullen come out of it. Bizarre you'd think with Cork besides him he'd improve. He was immense Vs Huddersfield.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:27 pm

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:28 pm

I can't stand this Sky team. Both in the commentary box and in the studio. Haven't heard much positive for Burnley. Very pro Watford.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:28 pm

Our passing has been really poor in the main tonight. We don’t look anywhere near clinical enough.

Come on stop being a snowflake

League 1 teams would offer more of a threat here. I just watched West Brom have 19 shots against this lot 4 nights ago

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:29 pm

as average as we've been, Watford have hardly been in our third this half

I’m bricking it every pass back. Whoever wrote that his passing was first class needs a re-think.

The outball then was THB not Cullen…. Damn it Muric

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:30 pm

And Muric makes Nick Pope look like Iniesta.

I’ve seen nothing to suggest he can actually pass a football. He’s been incredibly lucky at times.
