Clarets v City match thread

This seems to be Foster's level. Like a brand new signing

Thoughts so far:

Amdouni and Foster look electric. Koleosho raw but not far behind. O’Shea < Ekdal. Berge looks like he joined this week.

The match is going more or less as I expected. Lots of effort from our side but City have picked us off expertly. I think this will happen a lot this season. Not disappointed with our display but we're up against one of the best sides on the planet and can't expect too much.

I agree with you. I think this will be the pattern against all the top clubs. I'm hoping we pick up points against the weaker teams.

If you try to out football better teams, you tend not to win. When the roles reverse, the outcomes reverse. Let's hope a few of the 'weaker' teams turn up and play ball!

There has been a mention of this, that some players suit the PL more than the championship

I think he has worked hard as well.

Z on for K

Bruun on for A

Nice substitutes for Burnley to bring on.

Our lads will learn so much from this. In some respects, it’s a baptism of fire, but a brilliant first game to show us the sort of levels we need to compete against.

Not looking too out of place against these is hugely promising.

This is like watching paint dry with them just passing it around.

Corner. Come on

Vitinho has done well, but maatsen would be so good in this set up.

Larson needs to steady himself down, giving away needless fouls

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 9:30 pm

For all their possession Trafford hasn't really had a lot to do.

Sander Berge looks a bit wooden. Is he any good?

Don’t think he’s done too bad to say he’s had what, 2 training sessions with the team

That was offside and the ref let’s them off!

There wasn’t one Championship game as boring as this in 46 matches.

Benson for Beyer ?

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 9:39 pm

As good as City are, and they're excellent, the goals have been sloppy from our perspective.

But other than that, we've been very good and we'll be absolutely fine.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 9:39 pm

2 set pieces
