Probably on a par with Villa or Brentford.

well done twine and Dodgson, hard work there
Re: Benfica - v - Burnley MATCH THREAD
Nearly Jay
Re: Benfica - v - Burnley MATCH THREAD
No, seriously. I don't think Wout, Twine, Jay, Townsend, Cork, Ekdal and Dodgson are in VK's ideal Burnley XI.

GK situation exactly as it should be - two quality keepers pushing each other to perform at their best.

Unbelievable that we spend the best part of 20 million on our number two.

Re: Benfica - v - Burnley MATCH THREAD
Perhaps the plan is for Muric to play outstandingly well in the Premier League next season then sell him for 50 million with a ready made replacement bedded in.

I said it last season that Muric is a potential Champions League keeper. I stand by it.

If we were wondering whether the Trafford signing would see Muric sink into his shell or step up and fight, well I think we definitely have our answer tonight

Been very impressed with O’Shea’s line breaking passing. THB replacement.

Re: Benfica - v - Burnley MATCH THREAD
I can't think of a player I've seen improve so much so fast, except maybe Roberts from 1st half of the season to 2nd half.
He still terrifies me at times does Muric, but it's starting to be in a good way. The audacity he has at times is absurd.
That said, he always looks much more assured to me when Ekdal's in front of him- especially when it's Ekdal/Beyer. Maybe that's just my own bias for rating Ekdal so highly but his wobbles seem to happen less often and less drastically.
Re: Benfica - v - Burnley MATCH THREAD
Hate to slag Sean Dyche off ,but the effort these guys are putting in compared to the previous season is unbelievable.

For Townsend to get to 70 mins in any game is good considering his injury record over the last two seasons. To do it and still look energetic in a game played at this intensity is really, really positive.

Re: Benfica - v - Burnley MATCH THREAD
I really think he'll move on to "bigger" things. He's the archetypal modern goalie. Can totally see him at somewhere like Leipzig or Ajax. That sort of tier of club.spt_claret wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 10:02 pmI can't think of a player I've seen improve so much so fast, except maybe Roberts from 1st half of the season to 2nd half.

Header from Jay Rodriguez. Had to put his own power into it.

I’d take Andros Townsend in a heartbeat based on this showing. Fits in seamlessly and has been positive every time he’s been on the ball.

Delighted that Muric is having a blinder, even if it is only a preseason friendly.
Top man.
