Burnley (A) 2/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Jinky]

Whoever is on BBC comms is making out it’s all Burnley so far.

They’ve been the better side, for sure, but nothings really happened.

Ominous signs that we have a complete vacuum up top again through the middle. Hopefully we can get to 60 minutes on level terms and then throw Cunha on.

If at the start of the season you'd have said this would be our starting 11 with 9 games to go, you'd have assumed we'd be rock bottom.

 

[Del Woppio]

They've had more posession, but not created anything yet.

And you'd expect a relegation threatened side to start well at home.

Plenty of men and touches in the box for them. Not turning into chances as yet but they look a lot more threatening than we do

 

[AndyWolves]

Just a matter of time before Burnley get.a decent opening

 

[t3ch]

We’ve had a few promising looking buildups but we’re not getting into their third really. Neither side exactly dominant but they’ve pinged it around our box several times, thankfully able to clear everything so far.

Yeah would agree, their intensity is far higher than ours. We look a bit lethargic.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Early stages, but i'd be surprised if we win this.

 

[Squeak]

Just hope this is still 0-0 at 60 mins so Cunha gets a run out and perhaps sneaks a winner.

 

[Squeak]

"Nelson Semedo takes some stopping...." obviously never watched him stop mid stride and head backwards.

 

[jd1981]

So much says we won’t win their need is far more desperate and us playing a thrown together side.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Surprised to see them slicing through our central midfield so easily. Gomes is nowhere.

 

[t3ch]

Too early for predictions.

Having said that I never back us to best a team in a relegation battle lol.

 

[t3ch]

Ahhh sarabia losing it there is unfortunate

When are predictions allowed then? I'd say 20 mins in is pretty late to be honest.

To be accurate I would wait until the 94th minute or so.

 

[t3ch]

Oooooh RAN almost had a real nice shot on, heavy touch in the box cleared

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

The amount of money in football, and bits of the stadium are falling on people? Fucks sake.

 

[Jinky]

Sarabia whining like a little bitch again when RAN didn’t pass to him

Good period of play for us here. Is a goal too much to ask for?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We've been much better since i said we were shit. So i take full responsibility...

That initial Burnley steam has run out a little.

 

[YoungWolf]

Think we look fairly dangerous on the break and not really been troubled by them for all their possession.

Hopefully 0-0 by the time we get Cunha on
