Match Day Thread Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 23rd August 2025 - KO 15:00

Seen enough to say I’d be disappointed to lose this

we’re better just need to get that quality difference on the scoreboard

 

Yep, I bet there's no one more disappointed than him about that.

 

HT scores in the pl

Bournemouth 1-0 wolves
Brentford 1-0 villa

 

HT 0-0
Could have been better but they haven't troubled us really

 

These are so bad for a home side. If this was our home game and we playing so reserved we be fuming.

 

Wow. Got away with that there

 

Gutted for Ballard sounds like we’re playing okay though

 

This Scottish co commentator is doing my nut in. Reet miserable git

 

That looked a handball minute from end.

 

Not a bad half but for me we need to improve the quality and composure in the final third. Poor choices getting made.

These are there for the taking too.

 

We might go down but if we do we'll be above Burnley still.

 

We should be leading, from Mayendas chance but that's a sloppy chance given at the end there

We need to create more from open play, felt we lacked that against West Ham at times as well. Not easy losing your CB early in the half and we've adjusted to that but we can go and win this.

Just need a bit more composure in the final 3rd, we have to keep the ball moving quickly

 

Decent first half from us there.

We look dangerous going forward and all.they can do is drop 5 deep and sit.

Maybe a bit if le fee magic needed

 

Still think we need a quality 9 me.

 

That Anthony header right on half time was almost as good a chance as Mayenda's early on.

I'd agree that we're the better team though and this game is there to be won.

 

Think we've been fine, should really be 0-1 up. Love the left side of our defence, so calm and solid.

Need more from Mayenda in terms of hold up play and he really should've buried the chance. When he drops in and runs at their defence though he's so good.

 

Encouraging but I really hope we’re after a couple more in the final third.

 

all three forwards are raw

 

Keeps mentioning no goal mouth action! Wtf is he on about? Like football is all played in the box!

 

We should be winning this game although we’ve played within ourselves tbh …

… Burnley have to try to win and we’ll dissect them as they push on in my opinion.

We’re a much better side and our bench will win the game.
