Id Sunderland win today this has been about as bad a start as we could have hoped for.

I get your point, but there has been a lot of positives here and Spurs are going to be up there this season IMO.

Standard PL -
Make a mistake = concede
Miss your chances = concede

Game over so no excuse to not try the new guys now

Training half hour now.

Unbelievably harsh on us TBF, could and should have been level moments earlier, then wow!

That's the harsh reality of the PL I suppose

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:22 pm

Coocachoo coming on as well as Bruun-Larsen

Hannibal and Laurent off

I hate Saturdays like this.

Hannibal tries to be too clever.

I’d have to see it again but I think Sonne coulda gone with Richarlison for the second, stop him getting the clean strike on it

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:24 pm

So depressing to take part in this league. You get some golden chances and either miss them or take an age to make a decision, and then the opposition get a worldie.

I don’t know what to say about it anymore.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:24 pm

So this is what it feels like to concede two goals

Ekdal caught out for pace.

Esteve gone down but not a foul for me.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:25 pm

Esteve weak

Sigh.

Still, seasons are not won and lost on the opening day.

Cazaris · Post by **Cazaris** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:25 pm

Surely that 3rd can't stand with Esteve getting his face raked by Richarlison...

The team will look different soon.

Gave less against Fozzy first half. Inconsistent.

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:25 pm

The state of that back line, all over the place

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:26 pm

Coocachoo puts great chance over

Got to keep it to 3, don't want to get stuffed.

Another chance.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:26 pm

LU with a decent effort.

We really have been unlucky.

ArmchairDetective · Post by **ArmchairDetective** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:27 pm

Some great play from Ugochuckwu there.

No difference in performance levels between the teams for me. Just the difference in quality.

All the mainstream media will just go with Burnley will go straight back down and this and that.

We will get no credit at all for how we have played today.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:29 pm

If he wants to play this formation, we might still need a few incomings.

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:30 pm

On here, every goal against is the fault of one of our players!
Sometimes it's just good play by the opposition......

rosswallacefreekick · Post by **rosswallacefreekick** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:30 pm

It’s the first game. Going 1-0 down within 10 mins is always going to be a pain, but the stats in terms of chances look good for us. We go again, more experienced, to the next game. UTC!

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Aug 16, 2025 4:30 pm

Dunno why Johnson was pointing at his name when scoring (presumably to the Burnley fans?) given that his dad played for us.

Anyway, back on topic, Dubravka no saves I can recall and could have done better, but we know from history he is decent.

Getting a bit annoyed with Parker already (maybe unfairly), still five at the back and two holding when 3-0 down. Could be a long season if we leave our flair players on the bench often.

McDermott sent off for Shrews
