Sometimes I think Phil Bird is watching a different game. One chance in 15 minutes = Huddersfield are having a few chances.

Comes out with some baffling stuff doesn’t he

Wow, some half. Absolutely sublime

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:47 pm

What a 1st half that was!!! I’ve never seen anything like it at the Turf!

Chasing shadows, Huddersfield.
They're going to be knackered long before the 90 minutes.
Brilliant half of footy.

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:48 pm

Possibly our best half of the season so far.

Absolutely outstanding, a joy to watch

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:48 pm

Boro losing as well

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:49 pm

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Makes the Preston game look like a bad performance. This is the closest I've seen to Total Football outside of old clips of the Netherlands in the 70s.
11/10 all round.

The Town defender should have been booked for cutting that cross out near the end. Outrageous move and would’ve been a glorious goal.

I know Town are as bad as they get in this league but that’s been some performance from our lot.

I can't believe it's only 3-0

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:49 pm

Close half but I think we just shaded it

Gotta give some credit to Warnock as he got one big call right this week when he said we are the best team there's been at this level in the last 25 years whilst he's been in management

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:49 pm

That was TOTAL FERKIN FOOTBALL. It’s hard to believe what I’m watching at times.

Game over

A game is never over in the first half.

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:50 pm

A few stats.

82% possession.
13 chances to their 3
4 big chances
3 goals

89% pass success. That's like what Man City get!

Just what the doctor ordered we're coasting to a comfortable win, and Blades and Boro both in danger of spilling points.

I guess VK will now have half an eye on the midweek Cup game

Haha - just amazing stuff isn’t it. Inverted full backs, defenders running through to striker positions, Gudmondsson playing some sort of hybrid mezzala role on the left, Zaroury wide one minute but striker the next.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:52 pm

I can understand why our home games are sold out and there’s a waiting list for season tickets.

Had to check that it was Burnley and not Barcelona

It's a joy. I've been playing a mental game of trying to log the positions everyone's popped up in. I've got Gudmundsson at leftwing, attacking midfield, left back and left centre. Maatsen at left back, left wing and right inside forward. Barnes all the way down the middle. Roberts right back and striker, Beyer and Ekdal as box to box midfielders. Tella right wing, inside left and right back. Zaroury across the entire front three.
It's no wonder Huddersfield can't deal with us even as a spectactor I can't keep track of who's where!

Absolutely ridiculous football in that first half - it’s like watching porn ……or so I’m told .

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:56 pm

Unbelievable first half, typical I'm at work and having to watch on a stream!

14 clear of 2nd, 19 clear of 3rd as it stands.

So god knows what the last 10 minutes are going to be like!!!

Warnock will probably try and do damage limitation in the second half but doubt it will
make a difference

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:00 pm

Not a single goal scored in the Premier League yet.

FM fan by any chance? I’m surprised you haven’t got the role of Enganche and shadow striker in there somewhere.

Barnes is clearly a pressing forward who Can operate as a F9 role

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:04 pm

Nice early goal to settle the nerves would be good

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:04 pm

We want 5 at least
Come on Super Burnley

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:05 pm

It looks like we can score at will. Can’t imagine what could happen if Udders tire. We truly are simply too good. In fairness to Warnock they haven’t tried to rough us up. Ronnie Jepsons son who is a Clarets ST holder told his dad you won’t get a touch of the ball. He was right

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:06 pm

Poor goal kick from them and Tella would have been though - fouled yellow for their player

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:07 pm

We have started well

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:07 pm

Ahh should be 4

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:08 pm

Certainly not settling for 3

Haven't you missed out Muric? How often has he got into Huddersfield half so far?

Come on you Clarets.
