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

[Idlewild Mackem]

I think we lack proper creativity

Yeah, we do. Especially against a team that sits in, which thankfully won't happen often this season.

 

[twang]

Reg well and truly sees LeFee as a LW.

Not according to reg

 

[Liljedahl]

The new lads will improve and get used to the pace. Xhaka needs to make better decisions and execute them better too. Seelt is not the answer. Mayenda is a bit too light to be the lone striker with small-ish wingers on the sides. Roberts is probably not a PL player. Disappointing performance today.

 

[alunb]

Zhaka looks Knackad

 

[Yankee]

Proper Championship game this. Zero quality from either side.

 

[Gronkowski]

He doesn’t press and can’t finish. Arse like

Fuck off man

 

[ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK]

Fine margins, mayenda scores first half and it's a different game, like Ballard saving that goal last week

Losing Ballard didn't help after that

 

[Joker]

Bunch of minges on here

 

[Swinny14]

Too many assumed we'd roll up and win easily here.

To be fair they have been there for the taking

 

[GipseT]

Hume need a rest

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Seelt made me rather cross for the second mind

Everyone knows he isn't the answer

 

[RokerRoarer]

Proper disappointed with the players and RLB today like. Got it all wrong. Parker had his pants down.

 

[Dodgy]

This is our best team and getting beat

This is the premier league. 3 points from our first two. I'll take that.

 

[Scootsie]

The fullbacks and midfield 3 have been f***ing rancid mind.

Gutted.

 

[LondonMackem]

Seelt isn’t prem ready by a country mile btw. I’m not trying to single him out but he’s genuinely just not very good currently.

 

[hls]

Gonna be another season of boring negative football hoping the wide players pull something out of their arse for us to create a chance.

You're a happy chap.
Why do you bother ?

 

[Hawkings Boots]

First goal was so important, sadly Mayenda blew it today.

Fine margins - buries that and we win this easily imo

As it was Burnley were happy to stick to their theory of start with doing everything for a clean sheet and go from there

 

[ftm1971]

I got pelters for it last week but I did say, enjoy that victory as its all downhill from there. So it begins.....

Well done you!

 

[SKP130]

Burnley are a very tough team to beat.
They only lost two games last season if I remember rightly.

They won’t be tough to beat this season.

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

We are going to struggle against anybody who makes themselves hard to beat we are just devoid of any flair or creativity

Agreed. Won't happen often though, that's not going to be how we play this season at all.
