Burnley v Swansea MATCH Thread

When you watch players like Erling Haaland they are on a totally different level. Anticipation and timing are unbelievable. If we only had a modern day Andy Payton.

[BigGaz]

For the fast few weeks on the hooky fire stick Burnley channel hasn't had any Phil Bird which has been a welcome break to be honest. Is it just me or is anyone else?

[dvalley69]

Well on top halfway through this half. Dominating possession, had a few efforts and got some good crosses in, but not enough players trying to get in the box.

Probably the first and only time you'll hear Andy Payton and Erling Harland mentioned in the same breath

[Kgun5]

Winning a lot of 50-50s today, which is promising.

[hoosier-daddy]

Taking more shots which is good to see.

[BigGaz]

They've all been poor efforts so far but it certainly looks like the players have been encouraged to shoot

[burnleymik]

We are struggling with simple passes. So frustrating.

[KernowHouseClaret]

So far this game has proved Sarmiento isn't a No10 and Flemming isn't a No9.
I'd love to see Flemming playing behind Jay or Houtondji for a prolonged period of time.

[hoosier-daddy]

We are struggling with simple passes. So frustrating.

We've been far worse this season at doing that.

[Kgun5]

Drives me nuts with Anthony. He's great until he has to make a pass. It's as if his effort ends when he realizes he has to give up the ball.

[burnleymik]

We've been far worse this season at doing that.

It's well up there...

[bfcjg]

I'm actually bored rigid watching touchy feely modern football. First time I've posted whilst at the Turf. And Q the ohhh you're not loyal brigade.

[Woody9229]

Is that 300 minutes without a goal? injury time and terrible referees notwithstanding

[Sheedyclaret]

It’s really poor so far

[karatekid]

Probably the first and only time you'll hear Andy Payton and Erling Harland mentioned in the same breath

Haha Yeah . I was just trying to compare a Burnley player who had a similar knack of being in the right place at the right time. Of course at a different level.

[Tricky Trevor]

What a dreadful FK. After everybody has gone up a poor sideways pass leads to Cullen picking up a yellow.

[cockneyclaret]

Pointless FK from Roberts..

[superdimitri]

Poor decision making when we have the ball. Players not on the same page.

[Safron]

I find it puzzling sp doesn't play jay forget his age he knows how to play CF especially as it's been so long since we scored from open play or remotely looked dangerous from set pieces

[KernowHouseClaret]

Bloody hell Brownhill, throw everything at it!!!

[superdimitri]

Pires seems like the only player that knows how to create a goal.

[BigGaz]

I know what you mean pal, just being facetious, don't mind me

[hoosier-daddy]

That's been this season so far in a nutshell really.

[Blyclaret]

This is not good.

[Kgun5]

Pires seems like the only player that knows how to create a goal.

Anthony has also been creating a bit. I'd like to see Flemming with more of the ball, (as I'm sure we all would).

[hoosier-daddy]

Pires seems like the only player that knows how to create a goal.

He's probably a better winger than defender.

[BigGaz]

I'd have put money on JRod being on the end of that Pires pass.

[Milltown1882]

I just want to see us make a keeper dive for a save

[Kgun5]

Is a cross that is deflected to the keeper considered a shot on target?

[KernowHouseClaret]

Egan-Riley can't have pass a ball, some lovely balls over the top today

[hoosier-daddy]

Unlucky Anthony.

[ElectroClaret]

Close from Anthony.

[karatekid]

I know what you mean pal, just being facetious, don't mind me

Not at all , it was a fair comment. I’m sure AP would love to be mentioned in the same breath as EH.

[hoosier-daddy]

Fell asleep for 60 seconds then.

[Casper2]

Well on top halfway through this half. Dominating possession, had a few efforts and got some good crosses in, but not enough players trying to get in the box.

Dominating possession 51.1%

[Blyclaret]

Absolutely disgraceful passing in a dangerous area. No pressure but straight to a Swansea player

[hoosier-daddy]

Unlucky Koleo.

[hoosier-daddy]

Egan-Riley can't have pass a ball, some lovely balls over the top today

Another superb pass just then

[ElectroClaret]

Good shot.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Everything at half pace. Dire.

[Tricky Trevor]

Cullen gets away without a second yellow. Poor late challenge.

[NickBFC]

Not impressed again. Couple of good passages of play, but on the whole the end product is poor and we look a bit vulnerable on the counter. Flemming isn't a striker, not that he's getting any service, but looks another game where we may well struggle to score.

[Ampth7]

Another 5/10 performance so far! No intensity, no pressing, just flat. Really odd effort so far!

[cockneyclaret]

Time for the ironing.. I think I'll enjoy that more

[hoosier-daddy]

Decent half there just lacking the final 5th.

[Safron]

Needs to take a midfielder off and bring jay on at HT or it's another draw

[FCBurnley]

Swansea keeper looks excellent. Wish we had him ! 0-0 HT that’s a shock

[burnleymik]

We are so much better than what we are showing, convinced he just has the tactics wrong.

[PensansClaret]

We want two up front
