Burnley v Boro Match Thread

[RVclaret]

Think VK was just protecting Twine after 2 awful tackles. He didn’t look injured.

Our full back got sent off, so he brought Taylor on to replace him

[Quickenthetempo]

It certainly livened up 2nd half.

[Cooclaret]

Another win on the board but what a chaotic ending to that game, again this side showing they can come from behind to claim all 3 points.

Hope we can appeal Roberts red and Twine isn't seriously injured.

6 points clear at the top and looking strong though at the halfway stage.

10 points clear do third which should be the position we look to keep ahead of.

Benson's end product has really been off today.

Ha

[Casper]

Except clearly flapping at the ball, then spending two minutes moaning and claiming his innocence.

Just don’t think he fits our system. Can see that VK is now bringing IM into midfield and leaving CR in the back three.

He didn’t handball it , claiming his innocence, because he was

Yes that's important as well but absolutely no reason we shouldn't be aiming for the title in my view.

[IanMcL]

Benson stinking it up today.

Ha

[Taffy on the wing]

I was saying this a lot about 30 seconds before he scored the first. Ecstatic to be proved wrong.

I was doing the same......thought he was having a shocker!
Then he's unplayable for 10 mins.

Ha

He was for a while....

I agree, but I’ll start looking and hoping March onwards.

[IanMcL]

No offence to those whose post I have posted Ha. About the Benson comment.

Probably not far off at the time and then it all turned on a sixpence!

Up the Clarets. Good weekend all.

I apologise to him. Still bobbins imo.

[CoolClaret]

Credit to Benson for persisting and not hanging his head down when things aren't going his way (unlike a certain wide player that we sold to a club that play in blue in the summer)

[RVclaret]

I apologise to him. Still bobbins imo.

Roberts was excellent today. One of our better players.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

He didn’t handball but he did try to. I know that’s not a penalty or sending off but not totally innocent

[RVclaret]

On Twine, Andy Jones said he took part in the subs post match warm down and didn’t appear to have any problems, so just a tactical sub

[Tricky Trevor]

Roberts was excellent today. One of our better players.

There weren’t many poor performances but until we went behind there was a lethargy about them. The passing was snail pace which is detrimental to possession football as the defence isn’t being moved around fast enough to create gaps.
Alls well that ends well.

[warksclaret]

The great comeback and result somewhat masks some por keeping by Muric. He had three things to do all game-handle two crosses and save a penalty. He absolutely fluffed the two crosses which led to the penalty and somewhat redeemed himself by saving the pen.On another day it will cost us points as per the Sheff Utd game. If we get promoted he will become the most targeted keeper by all other PL teams. I am sure it has not gone unnoticed by VK and the coaches

No. And had the ball not hit the bar he may have stopped it going in. Which I would expect most defenders to do.

[Vegas Claret]

Andy Jones said Twine took part fully in the post match warm down and the sub was tactical

Good game today, did Roberts.

[Cooclaret]

Good game today, did Roberts.

Having watched it, he still tried to hit it with his hand, he’s just too bobbins to do it!

[Buxtonclaret]

Having watched it, he still tried to hit it with his hand, he’s just too bobbins to do it!

Being honest, in real time, i thought he'd used his hand.

He still had a good game though!

No 3rd place medal for Zaroury

Recorded the game, 11 minutes in. just watching it and thought I’d catch up on the BURNLEY match thread,
Thanks.

Watched that (pretty poor how TM emptied so quickly after a great performance, I thought) - he was sprinting past Barnes, Basti & Taylor. 100% fine & tactical.

Also went over to CFS and chatted to fans for 5 minutes or so.

[TonbridgeClaret]

Anyone know the attendance please? Apologies if it's been asked already.

Last I heard Zaroury is a Burnley player?

But he wasn’t playing against ‘Boro today was he. This was a “Match” thread, it’s my own fault, I should know better than think everyone understands Internet forum etiquette.
