Pitch looks as though it’s been in a drought

Vitinho takes an age to make a throw in and then when he does it’s poor and they break and shoot fortunately wide

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:42 pm

Jesus Christ we conceded a chance from our throw-in deep in their box. Need to do better than that.

Not what you want players playing on in pre season

Wish we were playing Benfica again. Wish we could play them every week.

Awful pitch.

Foster forces a save from their goalie

good effort from foster

Rubbish stream on Clarets +, always buffering and a shadow on the pitch making it difficult to see

Looks a disjointed team does this selection.

No buffering at all for me and clear as day picture

Their player dives but ref saw it and gave us a FK

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:48 pm

OMG a ref actually penalised a dive

Myk · Post by **Myk** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:48 pm

Diving in pre season

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:49 pm

Early thoughts
Vitinho is not a RB
Roberts is not a CM
Disjointed sums it up - even with awful pitch

StayingDown4Ever · Post by **StayingDown4Ever** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:49 pm

Should that not have been a free kick for them when their forward was chopped down following a poor pass by Trafford?

Ah, he dived!

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:51 pm

Watching it on Realbetis TV and really difficult to watch with the shadow across the pitch

123EasyasBFC · Post by **123EasyasBFC** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:52 pm

Pitch is a shocker

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:52 pm

Brownhill looking sloppy at the moment. We aren't really getting going right now though.

Ref done well actually penalising a dive!

We seem to be playing without a midfield at the moment.

Always difficult watching when you have part of the pitch in the sun and part in the shade.

Would help if the camera was closer!

Trafford nearly gives the ball to their player

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:55 pm

that pitch is embarrassing

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:57 pm

Not one of ours has taken a man on. They carry it and as soon as they come up against a Real player they check back.

That’s twice now that Phil Bird has called Betis “the Portuguese side”

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 6:58 pm

Corner Clarets

Listening to the Betis commentator who is much more insightful than Bird

And I can't understand a word of Spanish

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:01 pm

Odd goal. Think he was trying to pass it. Never mind. One up.

Come on Burnley

Roberts plays well as a rotating fullback, but the point in playing him as a rotating fullback and not as a 2-man CDM unit is that by covering two positions, RB and CDM, it gives you another man (5 in total) in attack while still having a 5-man defensive unit. YEEEES WE'VE SCORED COME ON BURNLEY anyway, as I was saying, if you've got a back four AND you play Roberts alongside another CDM, you've only got 4 in attack, which means you need a bit more from your CDM, and Roberts ain't it. You either play Roberts as a fullback, or as a rotating fullback, but you don't play him with his starting position as a CDM.

I’ve waited 50yrs to hear a commentator celebrate a Burnley goal like that!!

Prob cos there’s just no one else to play it today. Gives him some more experience playing in those tight areas.
