Burnley Build Up

[Doc_Piptorious]

Looking more sloppy at the start of this half than in the first half... c’mon reds, get a ****ing grip.

Think it is more Burnley making us look a bit sloppy at times than us playing badly.

Their mix of being really physical when we have the ball and flopping around like new born foals when off the ball is breaking our rhythm.

Playing a team like Burnley early on in the season is a good thing though imho. It gets that bit of experience playing a team whose style is totally wrong for us in early and also gives that taster of going up against a spoiling physical team.

Said before the season kicked off that I expected us to start the season well in terms of results but to be made work hard for the opening 8 to 10 games as teams will still be thinking of the us of the middle third of last season and be willing to come at us more and press /harry us more until we build up a pattern of getting win after win and that forcing teams to stand off us more again and letting us press them rather than them trying it against us.

Elliott looking lost now, needs to be replaced by Thiago

Think I would almost go for a Thiago on for Keita and Bobby on for Elliot pair of subs.

Let Bobby play in the CAM role and rotate positions with Jota.

Macmanaman is a **** pundit.

[McDermotX]

Mane right at the keeper.....couldn't see Mo

[Buzzo]

Mane could have played Salah in there.

[Slinky Skills]

Mane should have passed it.

[Slinky Skills]

Really annoyed at Mane there, selfish that was.

[danperkins]

How is that not a pen?

[spud_gun]

How was that not a foul on Jota

[dizzycat]

Nothing going for Mane atm

[Tribute]

Barnes is the epitome of Burnley... snide and then whingey in equal measure

[McDermotX]

Good pressure
