***Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC Premier League Kick Off 3pm Match Thread***


I reckon we win this. Bad crack with Ballard and took a while to settle into it after that. We miss his attacking threat already never mind at the back. But Rob will have a plan and we come out and get a couple of goals.
To me west ham looked 100 times better than this burnley team when they were on the ball last week. Almost no threat from burnley at all.

Not so much the case today but if you watch him he rarely gives the ball away which is very mature for a young winger. Not happening for him much in this game but I like the look of him

He’s finding space inbetween the defence and midfield just need someone to take a risk and give it him
 
quite happy for it to finish like this tbh

they're going to be hard to break down as they've setup to not lose rather than actually go for the game. don't want them nicking one and chasing as they'll go even more defensive

i'd like to think we'll be a bit more ambitious against promoted teams at home

We are a bit lucky to be level
We have had huge areas to run into and play but have created nowt.It was shameful theatrical fall by Mayenda when he could have got round the lad and get the ball but chose to fall over

We’ve created two very good chances, one of which should definitely have been buried. They’ve had a goal chalked off following our error and their clear foul and aside from that they’ve had a half chance header at the back post.

Not a game where I’d consider us lucky to be level at all. I think we’ve showed far superior quality in possession but both sides lacking quality in the box.

We definitely need reinforcements up there before window closes IMO

No he hasn’t. Fortunate not to concede last kick/head of the half because he lost his man, gave the ball away once inside his own half with a simple five yard ball very early on, lost it twice towards the end just inside their half taking too long.

He’s a great signing and obviously one of our best players, doesn’t mean he’s gonna play well every game.
 
shite effort like but still running himself into some decent positions.. give him another 20/30 minutes then possibly look at changing it.
 
Xhaka has had a few misplaced passes and was limping through last 5 minutes. However, he is available to take a pass from a colleague whenever needed. Brilliant option to have.

Been impressed by Talbi and Aldarete

Game is passing Diarra and Sadiki by

Adingra has lacked end product but is seeing plenty of the ball and moving us up the pitch (feels like the gameplay has been to attach down the left as Talbi keeps popping up to support with Mayenda floating in from the right)

Mayenda should have scored, I think if he gets that chance 30 mins in then it's in the net.

Falls to him on his left and he scores scuffs it with his right more often than not
