1 Livermore - Beast mode, all our lads need to spend 6 months doing boxing training, does not stop running and backs that up with technique and skill too today, top performance 2 Hernandez - put in so much work up top once again today, forget about the goal, even if he hadn't bagged he'd have been in my top 3 3 Robertson - Feel harsh not putting Harry Maguire in the top 3 but Robertson was superb today, the pace that he attacks opposition at is brilliant, and the difference in quality when we attack down the left compared to the right is so noticeable
Jake - superb all round performance Robbo - constantly driving us forward Big H. - Sorry but I can't leave him out, he's gonna be a superstar centrehalf for many years to come, when Daws comes back it's surely going to be Davies making way! Honourable mentions for Abel and Clucas who both had great games.
My stream was poor but what I will say about Maguire is he has an error in him every game. He looks great the rest of the time but there's always one. Gray should have punished him today. Our other defenders aren't as classy as him (bar Dawson) but they're more reliable.
Yeah I have to agree with that but with more games at this level, and higher, he'll learn. At least he doesn't flounder about like Davies appears to be doing lately.
Thought Hernandez was absolutely outstanding. Every time he got the ball something good came out of it. Class.
Clucas Livermore Abel H Harry looked great bar the one strange back heel to Gray, Robbo was brilliant. The rest did very well, I criticised Diame but his strength was there for all to see, I'd like to see a striker there instead, but he did well!
In the order of the scores, so: Livermore Hernandez Clucas But whole team - including the subs - on top of their games which was great to see.
He did get away with a few today, there was one in particular where he made a block that went straight to their striker who blazed it wide but like you say he looks imperious at times, I'm still very impressed with him. I think you missed out the massive attacking threat at set pieces which he gives us though which is a huge bonus
Livermore Hernandez Maguire Fairly impressed with most of the team to be honest, I expected them to beat us today so doing over the bogey team like that is a massive Brucey bonus
Last season was a bigger game. The tactics worked better this time, it helping that Burnley didn't bother putting much together. I'm still disgusted with gifting Derby the points a few weeks back though.
Livermore - all round great performance and a thoroughly deserved goal. Hernandez - uses the ball really well, presses defenders and scored a fantastic goal. Maguire - scary back heel to give Burnley one of their few chances cancelled out by fantastic ball leading to first goal and otherwise strong defending. Three great goals, all with super build ups and sharp finishes.
