Friendlies

[helmclaret]

I know you enjoy disagreeing with me but I was only pointing out the lad's potential. These things don't mean nothing, they are only indicators that might mean something, as I've explained elsewhere on this thread.

I was impressed with his performance at Shrewsbury but it was only one game against a lower league side.

Besides which, he's apparently off to Huddersfield.

Disagreeing with you? Just stating my opinion. Thought you were all for free speech?

[blatherwickstattoos]

Looks like benson is staking his claim. God how we missed him last season

[Newcastleclaret93]

I hated that VK never gave Benson a go.

Still our best player IMO

[FCBurnley]

Heard that head of Secret Service resigned. Was it Pace or Parker ?

[kentonclaret]

Either that or putting himself in the shop window.

One or the other I suspect.

[bpgburn]

Putting himself in the shop window in a behind closed doors training game cloaked in secrecy, hmmm?

[BurnleyFC]

Absolutely criminal.

Still the best winger at the club, despite the plethora that Kompany splurged a fortune on.

[BurnleyFC]

Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich won 14-1 tonight

They were leading 14-1, but managed to lose 14-15 in the last minute.

They closed the doors but not the airspace.

Anyway Secret Squirrel filmed Benson’s goal and posted it for all to see.

And it was clear from the footage the game wasn't at Gawthorpe..

[Hipper]

That Benson is so predictable!

[Burnley1989]

I agree, that was his arrogance in my opinion, refused to listen to others

[jedi_master]

Love Benson and delighted to see him seemingly fully reintegrated. One of my biggest hopes with the managerial change was having Benson and Zaroury back in the fold for the Championship. They are superb players at that level when they are being trusted.

[claretlegend]

Any friendly today?

Account on twitter saying benson scored this yesterday

What is this? A friendly for ants?!

We are due to play legannes before going to Spain.

Doubt it will be today - Leganes Twitter saying they fly to England this afternoon, picture of them boarding the plane posted at 3:30

[rick1fugazi]

Some Stanley fans are saying their 1st team played us behind closed doors today Clarets won 3-1? Not sure how true that is

[NewClaret]

For real football the pitch would need to be at least twice this size!

You've never played at Hackney Marshes - notice the distance between the penalty area and touch line:

[morninbob]

I don't know why it's so cloak and dagger from us. On their feed you can see vitiniho, esteve, Brownhill and Cullen played.

[123EasyasBFC]

From the video they put on of their disallowed goal the Burnley team looked like

Hladky

Vitinho
O’Shea
Esteve
Can’t make out left back

Cullen
Brownhill

Koleosho
Twine
Zaroury

Obafemi

Yep, this was with 10 minutes to go through.

[I Don't Eat Worms]

Roberts was the left back

Looks like Odobert started off the left and Foster up top.

Let's hope we learn how to set up before we go to Luton, that's awful

With Koleosho on the right. I hope that's a sign of things to come with Odobert on the left next season - Koleo on the right.

https://x.com/CDLeganes/status/1817565687323513244

Is it awful or is it a really good offside trap?

[morninbob]

I wonder if Benson started on the right and all the front 4 were changed?

[Row x]

I don't know why it's so cloak and dagger from us. On their feed you can see vitiniho, esteve, Brownhill and Cullen played.

Just a guess... But I think this is the first proper game, all the others have been different format games, banned players etc, but they've put a full report out on this game.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Koleosho was so exciting before his injury. Looking forward to seeing him.

[123EasyasBFC]

Does seem like this was treated as the first proper games and some players played 90 minutes

[NewClaret]

Positives:

- Koleosho and Odobert both played
- Foster played
- O’Shea and Esteve at the back
- We don’t seem to be conceding many at all in pre-season and so Parker has potentially got us in a less aggressive defensive shape

Negatives:

- Hladky should not be conceding that at his near post
- No Trafford, Tresor or Berge
- We don’t seem to be scoring in pre-season either. One thing we were decent at last season is getting in front. Wonder whether we’re now seeing a better defensive set up but creating less chances

Yes, I know it was a training game and all about fitness, etc, etc.

Bit confused - thought the score was 0-0?

it's dogcrap defending, they weren't close to a single man. If it's zonal marking we are in trouble

[123EasyasBFC]

Set piece coach was there in the championship season and we walked the league with zonal marking

[claretskeith]

That is some serious overreaction to a few seconds in a friendly, to be fair.

[Vegas Claret]

only in your head. If you think that defending was good then have at it, as the club don't post anything that's all we have to go off. I assume you think practice doesn't matter as well

Thank goodness they don't release more if one snippet causes this much outrage

It's truly staggering the amount of people on here who can't accurately read

I read it as " dogcrap defending"

[Bordeauxclaret]

Who is the defender on the back post and what is he doing?
