10:00 just after Tresor plays the ball, I don't think I've ever seen a professional footballer looking less interested in getting into the box.
He might as well have sat down and pulled out a book.
Strange that he made himself available if there is a problem, and you can't question his ability.

Yet he could definitely be bothered to set up Flemming for a goal, strange isn't it?

Or he's conscious he's just released his full back and may have to get back into position to cover?
What exactly did you expect him to do from that position? Leg it up behind Humphreys 20 yards in front of him?
Why can't people just accept they have no idea what's been going on injuries/illness wise, acknowledge that he's actually a decent player, who on his first game back had a major impact on our game and contributed massively to our win??

I don't think many people can manage that. I'm just bloody delighted to see him playing again, whatever he's had has clearly been serious. The kid has talent let's see it in a Burnley shirt.

I’m not going conspiracy theory here or over analyse.
4 attack minded on the bench and 4 defensive.
You’d think Parker prefers Koleosho and Sarmiento over Tresor, after all, they have played a lot minutes than Tresor. Makes sense.

Tresors cameo was nothing more than giving him minutes in his legs to evidence he is ‘match fit’.

Or maybe it was deemed unfair to drop a regular of the League squad for someone who hasn't been a part of it all season. The fairer option then being to use him as part of the cup squad with the other fringe players?

The fact Tresor hasn’t featured for the U21’s, when every other injured player coming back has, speaks volumes.
He doesn’t want to be here, I don’t know how many times this needs to be said. He didn’t want to come in the first place.
Giving him minutes against Reading was nothing more than an attempt to improve the chances of selling/loaning him. A club is less likely to want to bring someone in that hasn’t played for 6+ months.

If Tresor had made the bench ahead of Koleosho and Sarmiento, Parker would be getting the grief that Tresor is getting picked ahead of them.

Pace’s comments at the Q&A relate to us trying to negotiate that clause away.

I'm guessing that he was referring to the attack just before the goal where the ball was coming down the left and you'd expect the opposite winger to make a slight effort to get near the box.
Although I do enjoy the theory that he was worried about his defensive duties for just that one instant in the game.
I agree that he may not be fully fit and just blaming his lack of movement on lack of effort/poor attitude is pretty reductive.
But, those trying to excuse it as tactical or something that the team could accommodate clearly weren't at the game. The lack of movement was so extreme that Burnley fans were laughing at it.

If only Anthony or Brownhill had displayed an ounce of the composure Tresor showed in that brief appearance at Reading, we may have been talking about 3 points last night.
I’ve given up on him staying now though. I suspect he’ll leave this month and go on to have a decent career. We’ll probably never fully know what’s gone on the last 18 months.

Harsh on Brownhill. He put one on a plate for Flemming just after half time.

Yep and I acknowledged that over on the player ratings thread. I was referring to the one where the full back slips and he had all the time in the world to pick someone out or take the ball in. He put a pretty harmless ball into the goalkeeper’s midriff instead and looked upset with himself.
Those moments are the ones we need to get better at taking advantage of.

It was a fair midriff to put it into
Not sure I've seen such an out of shape player at such a high level. Not helped by spray on kit. He's a decent keeper mind, though if he was to work on his physique,
amd therefore agility, his game could improve further and become attractive to clubs higher up
(Ps, I know I'm no slim Jim)

Personally I thought there wasn't much wrong with Brownhills ball. Flemmings was at the back stick and the only target. Had someone made a run across the near post we'd be laughing.
As poor as people think we are at getting balls in. It's attacking them when they are we are really poor at.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, Brownhill should have slipped it down the outside for Roberts who was free, and I think that's what those in the box expected. But the point stands. That clarity of thought and quality of execution was lacking last night and if we're honest has been all season. Since the excellent back to back wins against Watford and Sheffield United, we've scored one goal in four league games.
The great irony is Tresor is exactly what we're missing, and his absence last night after making an impact at Reading was really bewildering. Even short on fitness, had the first penalty gone in and we find ourselves chasing a goal, we'd have been crying out for Tresor's quality rather than throwing Barnes on. I've been patient with the club and player but we are now at the point where it's hard to justify the lack of information.
If he's going, best he goes quickly, but he'll need replacing with a similar ilk and quickly if we are to finish above the likes of Sunderland.

Personally I disagree spice. I can think of several times the ball went into the box last night and we fluffed either the chance or weren't there at all. Without watching it back and off the top of my head Humphreys had a couple of headers, Flemming had one or two chances, foster hit one into the side netting and there were a couples that fell around the penalty spot with no one attacking them.
For me it's more men we need to get into the box first and in the right positions before we talk about better balls into it.

It's absolutely mental with the length it's gone on. I personally don't buy into the illness guff or lack of match fitness he's a young bloke who's been here over a year probably getting paid a decent wage but for some arguable reason he isn't featuring.

Tresor provided more in his 30 minute outing at Reading than Koleosho has for 6 months . He has no threat, can’t bat his man.. and had no end product!

Tresor was absolutely blowing after 30 minutes and by all accounts he isn’t interested in playing for the u21s for match fitness so I can understand Parker not picking him for the squad on Friday in such an important game

Smoke and mirrors from Parker on Tresor if he told the Burnley Express Luca and Sarmiento were his wide bench choices and he chose to leave Tresor out.
It was Barnes or Rodriguez he would have replaced on the bench, with Foster being a striker option and Sarmiento also a 10 option.
Feeds into the narrative Parker prioritises defensive runners over creators.
It is a narrative I feel is true, one that will remain true even if Tresor leaves. Tresor is an enigma and may of course be a big duffer, he wasn’t picked consistently under Kompany either, ironically apart from mainly in the huge games. But this ultra safe, ultra boring trait of Parker’s is so frustrating that my view is clear - promotion this year, or the sack.

If it’s not the player’s fault then it has to be Parker’s who is to be blamed.
Dyche left behind foundations for the club to develop, training ground etc, part of Vincent Kompany’s legacy is Mike Tresor.

Totally support Parker's decision to not include Tresor on Friday (and I was at Reading and saw first hand what he did in a short appearance-helping change the game). Sunderland were very strong opposition, and do you switch off Sarmiento and Koleosho by not including them even on the bench. Having seen Tresor start brightly but then tire quite quickly, had he been involved v Sunderland if may have taken him backwards in development. I think if Tresor is staying then Plymouth might be a better option to put him in the squad (which might involve leaving out Sonne) as Humphreys could cover at RB should Roberts get injured

We didn't need 4 defenders on the bench and Tresor should have been on it. It's 5 from NINE subs allowed ffs.

IMO Tresor and the club are doing the dance that always occurs in these situations.
Whittaker is doing it with Plymouth currently.
The club don't want to lose the value of the player whilst the player only wants to move on.
Its always messy and plenty of grey areas fuelled by agents and their underhand tactics.
We are unlikely to find out what has happened as both sides keep their cards very close.
The first one I remember doing this at Burnley following the Bosman ruling, was Glenn Little and this board (the original board) was full of similar sentiment when he was engineering a move away.
Soon after Robbie Blake followed by example.
Sadly,its now the norm.

Tresor was absolutely blowing after 30 minutes and by all accounts he isn’t interested in playing for the u21s for match fitness so I can understand Parker not picking him for the squad on Friday in such an important game
And I would rather have a “blowing after 30 mins” Tresor coming off the bench than have Koleosho anywhere near the pitch.. he’s done nothing of note since his goal at Leeds.

Tresor showed more in his cameo at Reading, than our other wingers have all season.
Parker being so risk averse must be so frustrating to our attacking players.

Not if he’s not even going to attempt to track back in a game that we were totally under pressure for the final 10-15 minutes

I'd prefer playing players who want to be here. The overstatement of Tresor's performance against a league one side is quite laughable.

What did our other winger do against a league 1 side?

Not a great deal. Point still stands.
