10 mins of work well spent.

He just doesnt give a shit about the opponent either. He absolutely trucked into De Bruyne by our corner flag and won the ball. Bossed Rodri to the point he just gave up and started complaining to the ref.

I think we have been playing very well today too. Pressing is good. You can see the improvements to Fraser and Joelinton in particular. At the end of the day Cancelo/Sterling/ De Bruyne etc will be better in the final front. And our shite players keep making stupid mistakes at the back.

Joelinton the strongest player in the premier league? Rodri just gave up

I think in the start VAR was too fair on the non-top 6 teams. So they found a way around it. Lets not re-referee games. In effect this rule exists so thgat the referee can blow at anfield when Salah starts rolling, and use the excuse that it wasn't an obvious error. If the same happens for us against Man City the referee won't blow. And the excuse given is its not an obvious error. Absolutely corrupt.

Serioulsy pissing me off. The coverage tried to find a good angle to make it not look like a foul and completely failed. Salah/Maddison/Sterling would roll until the referee blew.

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.
