Not seen Burnley under Kompany is tHe football good and flowing? How many of the City kids are slotting into the first team?
I’ve watched them a bit. Yeh, they play some really nice stuff. Looked the best team in that league by a distance. Didn’t see the first half today when they were 2-1 up. The blunts have just battered them in the second half Though. 5-2 doesn’t flatter them. might just be a blip but might be the new Burnley don’t ‘like it up em’
So anyone else think Orta was shyt buying Joffy, Greenwood, Gnonto and Summerville? If only Aaronson had the same composure as Greenwood we could have been well clear. Harrison on the right does not work and would like to see Jimmy on the right in his own position….
3 in 3 now for Jimmy so he’s taking his chances alongside Rodrigo, but Aaronson, Harrison and the rest need to get in amongst it…
I have to take my hat off to Rodrigo. He's having a great season. Fair play to him. I wish he'd stop sulking when he's subbed. Throwing his tracksuit on the floor, shaking his head as he walks past the bench. It makes it so hard for me to warm to him. Kristensen was subbed the other week when we were chasing the game and he sprinted off gave high fives to Ayling as he came on. That's what you want to see.
Agreed but I can see his side too. He got nothing from his team mates in the first half, he was just running around waving his arms as he found space but wasn’t seen. I think he would smash Harrison in the face if truth were known. Harrison registered yet another 4/10 performance, but why play him on the right again when Jimmy loves it out on the right. Harrison is Kwan at the moment. I would start with Jimmy and Gnonto at the Spuds. Fk Bamford but Marsch needs to capitalise on the work of Rodders
They used to care, way back when you That's fair enough but perhaps he's thinking as the leading scorer why it seems to be him most of the time, when Harrison who again was ineffective is left on.... he's on thin ice for me at the moment
@Doc and @oldschool regarding Rodrigo. He always looks like he has run his race by 60 minutes. That's why he is taken off. It's not his performance or anything negative. As a leader of the team he should be embracing the "run myself until I can run no more then come off and let a young un tear em to pieces" part of the game.
Not me i like that attitude he wants to stay maybe get another goal. It was just a tracky top big deal.
He hadn't had an impact on the game for about 15 minutes. He looked ****ed. He'd ran his blood to water. It's incredibly selfish on his part if he wants to stay on just in case we get another peno or something. Side before self mate. Stick your hand up, admit your ****ed and get off the pitch to let a fresh striker finish the game off. It was a sensible sub. No need to shake his head and throw things about. He's in his 30's. If my lad did that he'd be banned from his xbox for a bit. It's not the first time he's sulked when he's come off either, it's every game. He should be proud of his season so far. He's been very good. It just taints it a bit for me as he has been captain on occasion and we have a young team. Its not really the example he should be setting.
No problem with that explanation, but jacko is a lucky boy to be running the full 90 at the moment.....and he'd be classed as a young un' still
Well the Marsch debate will go on after that, why when we won? Well there’s no hiding the cracks in his tactics after we looked like getting slaughtered in the first half and Marsch didn’t know what to do and looked like man wrecked. The game changed in the 2nd half due to desire and then good substitutions so full marks for making the subs. However he doesn't seem to know how to stop his defences being breached and overrun. Leeds cant defend ………. Even though our defenders are all Internationals and I believe its down to Marsch not the players. Yes some individual mistakes but jeez every game it’s like facing the 7th cavalry as soon as we lose the ball and lets not forget we have a bank of 4 plus 2 DMs ffs. Thankful for the 6 points but we are papering over cracks right now. Lets see how he sets up for the Spuds and no doubt he will be here until next year now so hopefully he will read George Grahams book about expansive football….. but lock the doors first
The defending is littered with basic errors and players being guilty of ball watching. Every decision by the lads always turns out to be the wrong one. International defender Cooper dives in edge of area followed by International defender Koch's weak header on the first goal. Kristensen somehow thinks Koch is missing that header and sprints to Keiffer Moore. That's just not reading the game. Basic errors. 2nd one is a 50 yard clearance that ends up 15 yards from goal. What the **** was Meslier doing? Basic error. He switched off there. 3rd was a very good counter by Bournemouth but Tyler Adams (who is the one who stays back at corners Wakey) seems more preoccupied with the guy at the back post despite Gnonto getting to him and lets Solanke get in front of him. Was a good finish tbf but it went through two of our players legs which is a tad unlucky.
