İstanbul Başakşehir v Mighty Clarets

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 4:55 pm

It's getting closer. Our trip to the edge of Europe, where Asia lies across the Bosphorus. Well done to every single travelling Claret. Have a great one.

Madge is already her way to lend her support.

Come you Clarets.

Well done on the spelling

I was super proud when both Sean and Ben Mee gave a press conference in Istanbul and every couple of minutes a Turkish translator translated what Ben and Sean had said in Turkish - who would have thought that 12 months ago that would be happening today!

Yes. Though I don't think it's a river - it's a saltwater strait between the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

That's a team with Sunday in mind!!

Getting nervous now. This is a journey into the unknown. Everybody had an opinion on how good Aberdeen were from Championship to Sunday League but does anybody know what to expect tonight? . Well done to everybody who's made the trip. Hope you have an unforgettable night.

A lot of clueless people posting on the BurnleyOfficial twitter page. Jesus.

"Joke of a team selection"
"Not taking this game seriously I see"
"Are burnley fans that traveled to turkey going to get refund"
"Hendrick..... seriously?!"

Some aren't even aware of Lennon's knock (looks to me like he's simply not being risked - fair enough to me)
Taylor played well last time out
First choice central defence
Barnes to start with Vokes has impact sub later in the game
The rest are out injured.

It has to be a balancing act with the number of games we hope to play. Get knocked out and it's a different story.
Sunday has to be the priority. COYC

Jack Cork having a good natter with their 11 in the tunnel. Didn't know he was fluent in Turkish?

Early chance for them after Ben stands on ball, coughing it up for them.

JBG gets better each time I watch him play.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:07 pm

We're doing ok. Moves down left and right and passing it about. Come on you Clarets

Playing some good stuff at the moment

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:10 pm

clearly moving the ball about much quicker at the back. I hope that's in for the year to come.

They are not up to much, touch wood!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:12 pm

Took us 5 mins to get into it but decent now.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:13 pm

Taylor started well, I can really see him pushing Ward this season

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:13 pm

Poor decision by ref

Solid start but lacking in the creativity department it seems. Taylor has had a decent start.
