Match Day Thread Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC – Friday 17th January 2025 - KO 20:00

Both wings need sorting out , get the changes right and we win this .

 

It's very strange watching him closely.

He receives the ball and doesn't look up before playing the pass, as if he had it all planned in advance ...

40.08 was the first time he make me gasp, a killer pass with zero effort.

 

Think Burnley will tire, they’re pressing heavy

 

Once the relationships and movement is understood the sky is the limit

 

Definitely, don't want Rigg dropping by any means but that's where he should be.

 

Rigg for me.

 

Just wonder how unplayable we will be when Mundle and Tommy are back.

We will be filth.

 

ELF looks well up to the pace already as well which is a huge positive. Might fade second half but looks very very comfortable

 

Games like like show the level above they are.

We are so good to watch

 

Who plays on the left ?

 

I'm tempted to leave the missus for him!

 

They're all sweating and hair plastered across their forehead ...

... we look like we're still in the warm up.

Of course it could all go wrong but there's no reason we can't win this game, Burnley have no Plan B.

 

Sign of a proper quality player, seeing pictures before he even gets the ball.

Been very impressed

 

What I do like after that 1st half were playing a team above us and none of us appear concerned. We have at least held our own.

 

We were a bit tatty first 15 but actually we often are.

4th best defence in the league, maybe we just like the drama.

 

We have held our own and it feels we could go up a gear or 2 but Burnley at at full pelt

 

Should be one down. Straight facts.

 

It rhymes with clucking bell. That was fkn close.

 

let off there

 

Roberts, Rigg, Mayenda. Watson and Mundle in the near future. Not saying it's ideal but it's a better form of shoehorning.
