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

Not sure we will sign one and I'm OK if we don't providing we sign another x factor player and a CB

Always hard to get everything you need in a window, very few teams get everything they want - 2 more signings for me at least

 

Yeah of course. But would turn a good window into an exceptional one. Love Mayenda just don't feel he will be consistent enough.

 

agree

they signed Mukiele and gave Hume a new deal to recognise he has a place

in thinking they did the same with mayenda, if there’s an option on the market we should we be looking

 

Asking for Le Fee to stick his foot on the ball and thread some passes this

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Le Fee soonish to give us more spark in the final 3rd

 

Think seelt has looked ok but I’d tether him play every game over being backup here

 

hopefully step up a gear in second half like last week Mayenda should of scored they are there for the taken if we step up

 

Exactly, Sunderland are doing exactly what we should be doing in a tight away game …

… we're there to win, not entertain the TV viewers

 

is this a game where le fee can come in for sadiki?

le fee will still buzz about but gives us more creativity

 

Even when we had a 95% possession he was still all for Burnley, don't know who it is but he's ****e

 

He has played some quality balls through the lines with pace.

 

Better side imo don’t know if I’m being harsh to say I’m slightly disappointed? Bit rushed at times, lack of composure on the ball and missed some big chances.

Really think this is an opportunity for a win here. Will be a tough one to take if we lost to these, just think we look like we have more quality than Burnley but let’s see. Adingra needs to work a bit harder anarl.

 

we are on top but Granit and the two wide men are not at their best, our counterattacking is too slow atm , a change or two on 60 minutes might be the answer. Having said that at 0-0 the pressure is building on the home team not us,

 

We have 3 quality 9's imo. If people mean a guaranteed goals 9 then we may need north of 70 million pound.

 

More I see the Burnley goal.more I think it should've stood seelt went down a bit easy I'd been upset if that was not given for us

 

We will never know but I would have been really disappointed if that had gone in given Roefs position at the near post.

 

an X factor winger you say?

 

I could see Mayenda being moved onto the wing at some point in this game

 

Definitely a player there like, think he’d be starting every game if we stayed down

 

Not a chance he went through the back of him, connected with the back of his knees
