Very interesting line up

Disappointing to see Flemming left out
Disappointing to see Egan Riley starting

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:18 pm

Lineup looks OK to me, just weak at right back, not sure Egan-Riley is up to it, but let’s give him another chance

Yes let's.

Getting stronger on the bench. Egan-Riley will be fine.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:22 pm

Have we got anyone else to play right back?

Just that Sambo I think. Hopefully Egan-Riley won't be as exposed at full back

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:23 pm

Glad to see Foster and Cullen back, gutted for Flemming. Think Brownhill needs a rest tbh. No Roberts or Humphreys so assuming ER on right?

Be interesting to see if Parker feels confident to switch 3 at the back at Fleming for ER later on.

The depth of squad we have is excellent, it's going to go a long way to having success in this league this season. Really looking forward to today's match with Pompey

Come on you Clarets .............

Bloody coffees still too hot to drink (makes a change

Although it was a poor team performance, Egan-Riley was our best player at Sunderland.

He had a nightmare against Blackburn when he came on but it doesn't define him.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:28 pm

Come on Burnley, 3 points today please. Should be a good atmosphere with Portsmouth bringing a decent following.

Afternoon all from an overcast Galway , hey it was sunny all week .
Now today still feel that we have too much for them but we will soon find out .

Zooniverser · Post by **Zooniverser** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:35 pm

Re: Egan-Riley, I think we need to give him time. He’s still very young and hasn’t had a settled job for us at all. Probably a very good footballer who I hope will prove a very useful squad member if not a first team starter.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:35 pm

Good to see Foster back. Would like to see him and Flemming playing together.

whiffa · Post by **whiffa** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:35 pm

A midfield three of Cullen, Hannibal and Brownhill is outstanding in this league. Excited for today. Foster a lot to prove for me, competition now. Time for him to step up.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:38 pm

I'm surprised that Flemming has missed out, I thought he'd have been a shoe in!

No issues with Egan-Riley playing, he came into a really hard game last time out... echoing Goody's comment he was fine at Sunderland and good on Scott Parker for showing faith in him in what should be an "easier" game.

Surely shoot on sight for Will Norris?

Think we will control this game without getting out of 2nd gear. 3-0 Burnley Foster double and Flemming.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:40 pm

Afternoon All.

Three points today.
Seeeya Pompy Pompy seeeya.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!!

Watching from a very sunny and warm Belgrade, looking forward to this hopefully we can move the ball about with pace.

Getting the first goal won't be easy.

Afternoon from a not very sunny Spain,with Cullen back fully confident of three points today.COYC!

lovely pass from Trafford there

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:15 pm

Pires goes down and no LB on the bench. Thankfully he’s ok

aggi · Post by **aggi** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:15 pm

Guessing that maybe Flemming needs a bit of a rest. Last week was the first match he'd played all season so every chance he wasn't 100% but had to play sure to a lack of options.

When I looked at Egan Riley's record I was surprised by how little first team football he has played in his career, only something like 25 -30 games.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:15 pm

Fairly even so far.
Pompey look well organised and difficult to break down.

Woody9229 · Post by **Woody9229** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:22 pm

20 minutes of my life I’m not going to get back. Turgid start to the game. 2 drinks breaks already ffs

morninbob · Post by **morninbob** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:23 pm

It's all very sideways and backwards...

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:23 pm

There's nobody making themselves available in midfield .

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:24 pm

Sluggish Slow and Sideways so far

Sgt. Pepper · Post by **Sgt. Pepper** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:25 pm

All the intensity of a preseason friendly.
More drinks than Wetherspoons on a Friday night.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:26 pm

I don’t know who Phil Birds summariser is but he just gave us a lecture on the multi-ball system because Bird and himself totally missed what had happened earlier. The ref stopped the match and gave us a re-throw because there were 2 balls on the field.

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:26 pm

All a bit toothless so far.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:28 pm

Lacklustre display in first 25 mins. Too much careful passing back , Norris had absolutely nothing to do .

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:29 pm

I think we need flemming here, and sacrifice Brownhill who's not been on form for a few games now

sjb · Post by **sjb** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:29 pm

Another clown of a referee

Sgt. Pepper · Post by **Sgt. Pepper** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:29 pm

Only real chance of the game to Portsmouth.
A fairly lethargic and nondescript performance from us so far.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:31 pm

The three in midfield and one up top means we're getting a lot of the ball but it's extremely flat/sideways. Someone's got to to get inbetween the lines.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:32 pm

I'm hoping I'm going to see Anthony beat someone and put a decent ball in at some stage. Nothing to get excited about so far and that cross was dreadful.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:32 pm

We are at home ffs.

Wrong 3in midfield why change a winning team

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:33 pm

Our best passage of play after a fairly dire first half hour.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:36 pm

Crowd not happy with E-R but the last 3 passes he’s received were all bad balls, 2 short and one under him that he had to take with the outside of his boot.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:36 pm

Great tarcking back and challenge by Anthony.

I'm OK with us being difficult to beat. We don't look like breaking teams down, though.

I think he's been absolutely fine so far.

Hi JimmyRobbo, in fairness it was Anthony who crossed for Foster's goal against Rovers.
