Team V Burnley

Brilliant result with 10 men away there. Great character from the boys today.

 

Evans MOTM for me

 

Sell Maguire and spend the cash on Tielemans

 

Brendan has just said Big Wes is close to signing a new contract

 

For abit sorry for Gray today though, through no fault of his own he gets subbed after 5 mins. But thats what playing for the teams means

 

The change had to be made to keep some sort of shape. Same team next time out apart from Morgan in for Maguire.

 

grit, determination, luck, and.... the last time we won at burnley ... we won the league next season..ohhhh then we had trump getting elected then brexit.... FFS ... all downhill then

 

Very pleasing how much of the game we did control and how comfortable we looked playing the entire game with 10 men. Fantastic result as well

 

Yh and alot of maturity shown to lose a man so early. First time in along time the players game management has come through for us. But they may partly be due to Fuchs and Morgan coming on

 

Thought all 3 substitutions were bang on today

 

Great maturity and calmness shown with that display. Everyone played a part and a superb team effort. Whilst they might not be the best team we will play with an extra man and big target men it was always going to be tough defending against them and we did this so well.

 

Brendan said he told Morgan he was coming on today as soon as Crouch came on

Obviously that went out the window but superb from Big Wes today

We play the ball which much more intent now. Maddison is trying to pick defences apart rather then knock the ball around

Superb from all today

 

just pay whatever you need for Tielemans before bigger clubs come in. Now.

 

If you would haveto pick out a weak position for us, its usually on that right side, neither Gray or Ghazzel have shown enough to stop them being the first subbed off in this situation.

Burnley were alot like we have been over the last 12 months, not wanting posession and not productive enough even with the man advantage.

 

The one Burnley player I was impressed with was Charlie Taylor at left back. A lot has been said about Tierney from Celtic if Chilwell left due to Rodgers connection but I was impressed with how Taylor was getting forward and putting crosses in whilst running which Chilwell hasn’t learnt (he’s a few years younger thought tbf). If Burnley go down it might worth getting him anyway as we will only have Chilwell when Fuchs goes assuming Elder won’t make it

 

Played some excellent football ...

On Maguire ... very unlucky, player cut across him ... no intentional trip there ...
