Not a great performance, I thought, but I’ll take playing average and winning 4-0! 4 great finishes, we took our chances they didn’t take theirs. Makes a change to be saying that after the last few years of missing chance after chance.
Just seen that we have as many points as the other two promoted teams combined. Great work from everyone at the club.
Lovely win some good flowing football for the goals and I bet Bamfords starting to worry about his place
We need a striker Errr maybe not, but if Bielsa thinks Roberts is still the answer as sub for Paddy he maybe wrong
He was sub for klich today. more and more it looks like an 8/10 and a left back are the clear obvious upgrades we need.
quite a few missed chances from us today.alioski nearly hit the corner flag with his effort.dallas had three goes at scoring.really poor effort by roberts who should have passed to moreno.should have been six or seven nil.
Meslier - 8. Confident display. Read the game well. Just one little flap at the end. What a keeper. Ayling - 7. Solid display. Didn't shirk the physical style of Burnley. Sloppy last 10 minutes in possession. Llorente - 10. Took responsibility and led the backline superbly. Always in the right place at the right time and was the first in when the pushing and shoving started. Loved it. Struijk - 7. Stood up to the physicality of the game well for a young lad. Had a couple of chances to score. Also had a couple of dodgy moments. He's learning. Alioski - 7. On a good run of form. Niggled and ratted his way through the game. Tidy with the ball. Lucky to get an assist after a poor shot after possibly the worst shot I have seen in years in the first half. Phillips - 9. The pass out wide to Harrison for Rodrigo goal was one of the passes of the season. Another solid display. The glue that holds everything together. Klich - 8. Really coming back in to form. Superb strike but the intelligent running off the ball to cause the overload out wide can not be underestimated. Better with the ball after being sloppy for months. Dallas - 7. A bit quieter than usual but still gave his teammates options and worked tirelessly throughout. Grafted for the cause. Raphinha - 6. Looked a bit rusty. Got an assist for Klichs goal. To be fair Taylor had him in his pocket mostly. Only managed to escape a couple of times and his decision making wasn't the best. He will get better for the minutes. Harrison - 10. A goal, two great assists and a constant threat throughout. 10 million is well worth it for 8 goals a season. Bamford - 6. Bullied out of it with no protection from the officials. Has to take some credit for running the defenders ragged for Rodrigo to reap the benefits. Subs. Rodrigo - 9. Two great runs and two great finishes. Could and should have had a hat trick. Finally producing. Hopefully this is a regular display next season. Poveda - n/a. Not much time to show anything. Roberts - 6. sublime backheel just after coming on. Gave it away cheaply next time. Had a good run and shot late on. Contrary to other views on the forum it opened up nicely for him and probably made the right decision.
Emu the only thing I would add on Harrisons worth and contribution is that hes also had 9 or 10 assists too
Yep. Absolutely. He can be hit and miss but if you want a Harrison on form every single game we are going to spend 100 million.
