Astroblack Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Generally really hate 5 at the back but that was actually not bad. Ki in second half was immense, what an asset he is becoming. Schar and Fernandez also good. Thought Ritchie was very good in that wingback position, apart from that miss of course. I'd rather have him involved a lot like today rather than having the extremely little impact he does some games. Everything Ritchie did was positive. He was always on the front foot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 They missed Gudmundsson hugely today. Brady looked miles off the pace. Must be the only team slower than us in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll never regain that incredible playmaking ability from Jan-May, but when he's chasing and hassling like that, and winning more tackles than not, he's a huge asset.

I'd rather have him involved a lot like today rather than having the extremely little impact he does some games. The five at the back was key I think. Burnley only any chance of scoring either from a fluke goal like they did score from, or hoping one of our defenders did something that gave them a set piece. Having 5 at the back made us more sturdy against the type of football they play, it meant we had another defender just floating around in the box to fill any potential holes we had and to make sure that if they did win the 1st ball then they wouldn’t get a chance to bring it down or wouldn’t win the 2nd ball. In all honesty if there is other Premier League teams watching that, especially teams around the bottom of the table they I think they might try to play the same way as we did, and if they do then Burnley will really struggle to stay up this season.

I was delighted last season when Mitro put him on his arse to score past him. I thought him coming up to either hoof it long would result in it landing on someone’s head to score from or he’d score when he cane up and gave the last laugh. Glad it didn’t happen.

Stifler Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 If I was a Burnley fan I’d be livid after that. At no real point did they ever look like doing anything during the game, they went 2-0 in the first 23 minutes and for large parts of the game after they never looked trying to go for it, even in the 2nd half when they had a goal back there was long period where they had the ball and just held it across the back waiting for the opportunity to hoof it up front. They never even had anyone chasing the kncockdowns, they were literally hoping for fluke goal like they scored in the first half, or to somehow get a set piece and catch us out. In general play they had no ideas and offered nothing, their midfield pretty much didn’t exists. Dyche has no plan B, the only thing he did have is another couple of big lads to put up front hoping a couple more guys there would get on the end of one of their long balls. What makes it worse is that he’s been in charge of the club for so long and has never developed a plan B or brought in any players that offer anything different. In all honesty I think they were most 1 dimensional team and possibly worst team we have faced this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=34494 Interesting Wow ... maybe Moyes is on their radar. Hence being at the game. Thought he was invited by Ashley when I saw him, because I never thought Dyche was in real danger. Really enjoyed the match, more than I have for a long time. It's always funny watching a match and then reading the match thread afterwards - I was certainly on board with everyone expecting Burnley to score. That said, I thought we were very good value for the win, and a big tactical victory for Rafa. I remember rubbishing someone's suggestion that he go 5-3-2, but Ritchie and Yedlin were both excellent (amongst others). Going forward, do we go back to 4-2-3-1 with Lascelles, Dummett and Shelvey (probably among the "first names" picked usually), or reward the likes of Clark, Ki and Schar and keep three/five at the back against Wet Spam?
