*~*~* Burnley v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Weardale warrior]

Tell you what anarl lads!
We were very good at the back, Patterson had a great game,

Results like this stick some fire in the belly! Use it as fuel to piss the rest of the league!

 

[PS]

Two poor pens from Wilson.
Practice more?
Neil should tell someone else to take the second?
Ah well... we move on.

 

[Crispy32]

I think Le Fée should have grabbed the second or Jobe, f***ing hell man, how we missed two bastard penalties. Unbelievable Jeff.

 

[shotleysafc]

I think most of us would have taken a point at 8pm and we're all probably gutted about the result. However, we played well, I do feel for Isador who is clearly distraught, and we did play play well, and Le Fee looks class. Personally, it won't spoil my weekend.

 

[Sunderlandellight]

Mayenda brings some power to our attacking line, especially coming on as a sub. Last 25-30 minutes is a sweet spot for him.

Maybe you’re looking for bites, I don’t know but that’s a very good photo

 

[Hooley13]

That was a mental decision to let him take the 2nd pen, you could see his head was gone from missing the first. Every time the camera was on Wilson in those last 10 mins he looked shot.

Should of reversed the psychology on Trafford after he looked at his bottle and changed the penalty taker

 

[Arfa Sleep]

He didn’t look confident so yes, have to think of the team and also the player.

But by also thinking of the player in that moment it does his confidence no good to take it off him. It's not a simple solution in the heat of the moment.

 

[Baz]

Agree but it isn't a straightforward answer. Did Darren Bent miss one then score one when we played Spurs? I remember David Connolly missing against Burnley at our place and getting another pen that same game and putting it away, the pressure must be huge for the second one.

Agree mate, but his body language didn't look great to me. Fair play to him for stepping up, but ffs

 

[Ohnonotagain]

To be fair I’m not sure who else would take them. If Rigg was on the pitch for me he takes them. Roberts recently missed a huge one.

We don’t have a lot of goal scoring talent in the team sadly.

If a professional footballer cannot score from 12yds out they should hang their heads in shame.

Thats down to poor coaching. You pick the four corners of the goal and practice hitting them at pace.

 

[Lonz]

Jesus Christ man.

How many strikers have missed two penalties to win a game in the last 10 minutes against their league rivals? Can’t be many.

The lad is a human being and these sorts of things will be going through his head. Gutted for him, just like all of us on here, but that’s something else.

 

[PTR]

Penalties are less of a talent thing and more of an attitude thing.

Anyone can say they want a pen but in the moment it’s about arrogance and sheer bollocks.

O’Nien is the biggest shithouse we’ve got or Jobe has a swagger about him.

It’s easy after the fact but I never liked an emotional penalty taker, and Wilson is an emotional player for sure. Still love the daft fucker though.

Just not from 22yds anymore thank you.

I'm really surprised jobe hasnt got involved with set pieces in general.
Top players tend to work their balls off getting good at them.

Missidor

 

[The Situation]

A lottery no, a well taken penalty should be scored 90% of the time. Isidor was honking on both. Body shape gave it away never mind the research. The biggest crime was he had a full goal spare. The keeper is so far across it’s hit him.

He was nearly at the corner flag by the time Isidor struck it.

Horrendous penalty technique really.

 

[Mackem DJ]

Odds on us getting another penalty next game?

Roberts abysmal infront of goal.
Wilson nee chance.

Id give it to Cirkin or Jobe before them.

 

[Shack]

That was a mental decision to let him take the 2nd pen, you could see his head was gone from missing the first. Every time the camera was on Wilson in those last 10 mins he looked shot.

Why he stood there waiting for the keeper on the first I'll never know. Just put the ball down and walk away and wait until he's in goal. I like Isidor but not professional to lose your head like that after missing a penalty.

 

[Cyprus]

Bellingham on the pens for me

Agreed or even Enzo

 

[admwil]

I think people saying fuck off back to Russia etc among other similar posts would not agree with what you say here.

Are they? They can fuck off for me

Isidor ran his arse off tonight.

 

[Royston Vasey]

wtf .. you missed...don't compound the fact by having another go. Give it to someone else

 

[SPUFF]

It feels like that time in the days before mobile phones, a beautiful bird wrote her phone number on my arm with her eyeliner, only for my mate to quickly grab my arm as I was bragging, lick his thumb and rub some of the numbers off.

What, imaginary?
