Seriously how can they actually not give that. Maddison just falling over our legs getting everything.

Our midfield 2 just falling over. Joelinton impressing me as always lately. He's our only box to box midfielder

That was a definite penalty for me, he kicks through the back of frasers leg and gets the ball after? Can't believe these attention seeking bald referee pricks. Thought Fraser was immense, and our team did well enough against a far better side.

Michael Owen is on, no pre-match for me.

I would prefer to keep Manquillo in addition to Trippier. Having 2 right backs is fine in a non-Ashley world.

I mean Willock is a pretty poor central midfielder, but the options are worse. Feel we've actually been the better team in this one, the little gremlin jumping on top of our leg and getting a penalty is the difference. so far.

He jumps onto the leg christssake

I'd take a Frenkie

Anyone feel it likely our crap players might be bought FM style now? Would be funny to see Ritchie/Clark etc go to China or middle east on massive contracts from clubs who suddenly get a big sponsorship.

Fuck yes!

Fucking Burnley man. Their only gameplan is to either throw themselves to the ground and get a free kick, or dirty tricks. They should have had about 7 yellows. Can't believe thats the first one.

Seriously this referee looks like he's got a job to relegate us, just like at Arsenal. Every opportunity he has to blow in Burnleys favour he just does. Did he even book Brownhill after play went out? Tried to take down Joelinton from behind twice.

That was Ritchie levels of defensive positioning by the manq

Better be a yellow card there ref.

Yes you spilled it, never a VAR. 1-0!

Looks like Willock needs 12 touches just to control the ball lately, so much space he had there on the rebound and he does fuck all as usual.

Willocks inability to make simple passes/crosses/holding onto the ball is showing every single match now. Desperately need a new midfielder next to Shelvey. Not that i think he is a central midfielder anyway.

How the hell do they get their last 2 free kicks and we don't get that one on Lewis

Referee is infuriating me already.

Shitting myself about Cornet in behind. Looks like he's gonna beat the offside trap.

Hard to predict how Willock/Almiron/Joelinton will play. I really like this lineup, and i understand that the captain is back in despite Fernandez is a better centre half in my opinion. But thank fuck Ritchie is not starting at left back.

Pre-takeover i had kind of numbed to this shit and wasn't that fussed when we were crap. Now I've been excitedly waiting for each match and shitting myself the entire time, and we just can't even get a win. Incredibly frustrating. Joelinton man of the match for me, Never stopped.

Really hope Lewis and manquillo keep their places now. If Ritchies at left back cannoning around I think its a loss today. Lewis is hardly amazing but keeps his position ok and did well. Also really hope Federico starts the next one.

Desperately need Almiron on. I think we need to remove Wilson for him to counter with St. Maxi. Joelinton is our best defender out there for some reason.
