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

[woodlebert]

It’s like some people expected last week to happen every week

It's been said a fair bit over the summer, but the gap between the leagues is huge and 17th would be a sensational result

 

[Mace]

Sick that Scott Parker will enjoy his chinese the neet.

 

[AstroSchwarz]

Need to do a lot better than that but they’ll know that.

Striker and a CB and 3 points next week and we’ll be fine.

 

[Wild Card]

Can't afford another defeat resply as 3 points from West ham, Burnley and Brentford is poor.

Like @Hongkongphooey said, hopefully a wake up call, you cannot go through a league game in second gear.

Better team won.

 

[Hot Since 82]

Shite.

 

[bomber]

Two very different sides since last season. Not really fair to compare them.

They've added walker to an already excellent defence,

 

[The Town Hall Clock]

Well that makes it better then, is it still 2-0 to Burnley

I didn't say it made it better. I switched off at 87 minutes, fully in the knowledge that those llodders couldn't score if they played until midnight....

But you (or whoever posted it) said nobody played well. So I responded with the correct answer.

 

[Sallycinamon]

I don’t agree. I think we have some really good players but nobody that can break down a defensive team like Burnley. We were just never going to score today after they scored first

Not with the way we set up and play, no. Get the right players in the right areas and they’re more than capable of creating against Burnley. Le Bris is very cautious though.

 

[smithy83]

Yep, I said this last season about wasting Le Fee out wide.

Folks said give it the Summer and we'll see him central, I believed that myself. Its obvious Reg only sees him as a LW.

 

[unfairadvantage]

Honestly some of the comments on here are embarrassing. It’s the second game of the season. Some teams have lost both games. Burnley will beat other teams this season. Yes we didn’t play well but we won’t every week. Let’s see where we are after 10 games before the bed wetting starts.

 

[JC22]

Gunna be a long old season

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Bunch of minges on here

And on the pitch today.

Just weren’t at the races.

 

[gastap]

Might be getting on a bit now.

Logon or register to see this image

Keeper did nowt wrong

 

[alicante mackem]

My stream didn't work for the first 10 mins. Did Ballard's injury look bad?

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Yep,only gotta look at the match thread before the game for that

I was perplexed by the threads all week

People had us mid table man, not sure on what basis they were saying that

 

[Junior Birdman]

Back down to earth but I'm confident we'll bounce back next week. Still very early days for this group. Thank fuck we don't have to play at this shit hole again this season.

 

[Hawkings Boots]

What timea the Regis out thread start?

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

One of the most rope a dope home performances I’ve seen recently

 

[Boo]

That was really disappointing. They defended well and we never looked like scoring. We were also terribly slow on the ball.

 

[chopper018]

Write this one off as a learning curve and move on to Brentford...just hope Ballards injury is not a serious one and he will be back next one.!
