Great take by Benson

Everything about that was brilliant. The press, the finish, the haircut. I'm jealous of them all

We are fantastic going forward

Earlier in the week I said Benson should be starting to be told no he’s better off the bench. It’s the Benny show!!!

Now lets finish them off

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:18 pm

I’d like us to bring Taylor on at half time. Get a bit more steel in the defence and more protection for Muric who looks incredibly suspect again.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:18 pm

Robinson is having a mare

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:18 pm

We've been brilliant going forwards at times but I think we do need changes at HT to add more steel and height.

We need more goals. Sheff U too dangerous at set pieces

Great time to score. We were looking tired. Regroup at ht and we can win this.

Taylor on 2nd half for three at the back ?

Well, fair to say Benny is no longer a super sub. What a joke of a player he is - feels like a cheat code.

Good first half. Thoroughly enjoyable.

100% from about 65 if still ahead, for me.

Absolutely

And if we're to get the 3 points our forward play deserves, we'll need to be better defensively.

Greekclaret · Post by **Greekclaret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:21 pm

I’m surprised Kompany didn’t go for a more defensive back line of Roberts, THB, Beyer and Taylor. Thought this was probably the game to do it but it’s working so far

His timing as to when he should come for crosses certainly needs a little work!

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:21 pm

Good first half with two good teams having a good go at each other. Thought Sheff Utd had just got on top towards half time so would have been happy with 1-1 but a real bonus for Benson to put us back in front.

Its frustrating how we struggle in the air but we were never gonna be a perfect team and we make up for it by excelling in other areas that have got us to the top of the league so net result for me is happiness

Casper · Post by **Casper** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:22 pm

It’s like playing Stoke 20 years ago .

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:22 pm

Benson is running them ragged, now we just need to tighten up at the back 2nd half.

Great time to bag though right on HT, and in open play we've been the better side, however set plays are a major concern I'm afraid.

He aint a defensive manager.

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:22 pm

Can we do MOTM now as it's not going to change is it .
Look Stevens will be sent off as he cant live with Benson . We went into our shell when they scored i was hoping to get in at 1-1 at HT but hey there you go .

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:23 pm

They've really exposed our deficiencies at the back. This is far from over. We need to keep hold of the ball better too because when we've gone forward they don't look too sharp defensively either.

Stevens will be subbed at half time, has to be.

It's hard to jump when you're being blocked from your run. You should get off his back, and take a look at how many headers we've won. We're also slow to react to the second ball, Nick would struggle behind this defence.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:24 pm

It’s certainly an interesting game and clash of styles! If we can keep battering them out wide and at least be a bit more dominant at defensive set plays…….

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:25 pm

I think there'll be envious eyes on Benson.
Just hope we can hold onto him come January.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:25 pm

I don’t think we deserve to be in front but I’ll take it! We have played well in patches in that first half. Just need to deal with those crosses better and not get sucked in to a scrappy match which is what Sheffield United are trying to make it. Want to see more of bastien in the 2nd half. Benson class again. Tella quiet. Zaroury looking threatening. I’m really looking forward to the 2nd half.

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:25 pm

What a great game of football this is. Such a joy to watch two teams going at each other, one with guile, the other with brute force, it’s just so entertaining. Doesn’t do my heart any good mind, but I’m loving this league…..

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:26 pm

Taylor on for Bastien
Hate to say it - but Barnes on for Tella

If we sell him VK will bring in 2 players as good. He can quite clearly spot talent.

This has definitely been a factor, but he does have to be stronger. He should be cleaning everyone and everything out in his way once he commits to the cross.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:29 pm

We've had some fabulous wingers over the years but Benson with his pace and goals is the first that can be compared to the fantastic John Connelly.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:29 pm

Great that we're leading but just want to appreciate a great game of football, from both sides, really enjoying this!

Much better Sky having games on TV like this than say a Bournemouth v Crystal Palace snooze fest.

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:29 pm

Hopefully Muric will get a good talking to at half time, just boss the box.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:29 pm

Cracking game though, certainly doesn't feel like we have seen the last of the goals. We have so much talent it's frightening. So good to watch, even when we aren't well on top of the game.
