Match Day Thread Burnley v Norwich

Let’s talk about something else and pretend this game isn’t happening.

Check out Wilshire’s growing bald patch eh?

 

Lucky deflection for the goal but they are a good passing team, we are not.

 

I dunno, I think we are good passing team. We are just very predictable, so we are incredibly easy to play against - an opposition manager has to do barely any research to work out that all you need to do is a high press and more often than not our terrible defensive work and suicidal decision making will gift you a goal.

 

We have our moments but overall we'll just have to disagree on this.

 

Could someone please check on the Norwich team bus? It doesn’t seem to have arrived in Burnley

 

Good passing passage end in a through ball for Sainz who should do much better with his effort

 

I do feel like we have had a strangely unlucky season - eg McLean getting multiple bans the first of which was a bit harsh, and then you look at the Burnley player’s tackle (which has seen Sorensen injured and unable to continue) doesn’t get a card

 

Apparently Sarge looks like he’s coming on at half time

 

On for Mcconville

 

Fleming loves a dive

 

I wish they’d stop singing Sargent’s praises

 

Come on

 

Stacey bundles in a corner!

ON THE BALL CITY!!!

 

How is it only four minutes added time?? The rules are shockingly bad on this point

 

Yeah they’ve completely gone back in the rules that they set out of the start of the season.

We were having 6mins absolute minimum, most games near 10

 

Well we broke their clean sheet record. They’d only conceded 5 goals at home. Not a bad score line

 

Weird season with Sainz playing like Messi for a few months & Sargent one of the best strikers in the division, but defensively fragile with no steel in the side .

The youth to 1st team project is working but not bearing much fruit yet in terms of results

 

Maybe it’s me…but it feels like Sainz has lost something since his ban, lost a bit of his edge. But he also needs to pass the ball more often, instead of carrying the ball go for a 1-2

 

Agee - though he’s heavily man-marked now so it’s difficult to tell

 

Cullen, who committed the foul on Sorensen, should certainly have been sent off, having already got a Yellow. Dishonest refereeing. I'm not surprised Jack Wilshere got yellow carded later for something he said about the officiating.
