Burnley @ Turf Moor, Sunday @ 2

Pengeman

It is an attacking line-up. Masuaku will either have a brilliant game or will be a liability in defence. Not sure what formation WHU will be plying. If it is 4-4-2 then would have liked to see Longelo at full-back instead of Masuaku. Now go on Arthur - blow them away!

OutcastLondoner

Don’t really think Masuaku needs any protection. He’s not often caught out by a winger, he just loses concentration (mostly for crosses from the other side) and another player there can’t really help with that much.

Burnley is never a fun game. They make it hard and they are also terrible to watch.

We need to keep the ball on the ground and play through them.

OutcastLondoner

Do you do their match threads as well?

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

57% win rate. They wish I did their match threads.

Antonio always looks so happy

We need to get the ball on the floor and keep possession for a bit

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Bad signs early on. Playing it long way too much - that just plays into their hands.

chicagohammer

That was quite an effort from Arthur, no doubting intent and showed some confidence in having a go

alderz

Antonio doesn’t seem in the groove today, it’s a real shame we don’t have much of an option to give him a couple of games out. Idk if he’s shattered, or holding back (maybe a minor ongoing injury?), or if he just needs to know he’s not always a starter, but something needs to happen.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Masuaku almost crosses a 25 yard volley into the bottom corner.

eskimoking

Masuaku’s feet were so quick when winning the corner. He’s got so much skill if he could just focus a little more he’d be some player.

MrsGrey

Surely?!

MrsGrey

No.

Dodger58

If only we were in the top 6

eskimoking

Yeah, if that’s on a Man U or Liverpool player that’s given, I’ve no doubt.

alderz

I think had Dawson not jumped across him it would have been a pen, but it sort of looked like Dawson just jumped into his leg

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Lol. How is that not a penalty. Just kicked him.

But also completely this.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

This has been one of the worst games I've ever seen. Well done, Alderz.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

That is just a blatant penalty for me.

It’s all that detail you made me put in the title

MIAHammer

Lanzini seems to be establishing his claim to be first choice again

jay_in_cpt

Thought wev'e played well, just lacking the final touch to score...
We have been the better team, but again Benrahma has IMO not been involved enough.

PrestonHammer

If he scores a goal he can stay first choice.

steve

Burnley doing what they do killing football

alderz

I’m watching an NBC stream, and they just showed photos of American fans, and honestly the idea that there are any Americans that would support Burnley is baffling to me

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

If we keep the ball on the floor we'll cause them problems.

Long balls and crosses are very unlikely to work.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Benrahma is going to be subbed very soon. Poor decision-making.

eskimoking

Benrahma is rubbish sometimes.
