LCFC vs Burnley - Match Thread (20/09/2020)

[Dan]

We've been alright, nothing special, but not too bad, we look a bit open at the back, Perez is the weak link in this side I'm afraid and it's a regular occurrence. I think we will improve as a team when Cengiz gets in our team.

[Babylon]

Good thing is here, that areas we look slightly iffy we have a player to come back.

 

Ricardo, Under, Ndidi into the middle, Castagne going left and Maddison in the middle.

They are, but they’re limited and they know they are. They play to their strengths and it ain’t pretty but you can’t fault how effective it’s been over the last few seasons. 
For a town the size of Rugby, PL stability each year is a good return for them I reckon.

Thing is i totally agree with you 😂 stick to what you know i guess

[Dr The Singh]

Mediocre, so far

[Jon the Hat]

If we keep this up we should win it.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Hate Burnley with a passion. Hope we finish them off 2nd half. We are so much better but scoresheet doesn't reflect it

[Sunbury Fox]

So desperate for a wide right player. Good job we've signed one!

[wardyfox86]

What are people expecting us to do from corners against a team who's only criteria for a player is that they're over 6 foot 2?

 

Really good half for me, it'll come if we keep that control up. 

[Beechey]

Average first half, I expect more in the second.

[Sampson]

Think we played well. Just need it to fall.

 

Vardy's link up play has been superb but we haven't managed to quite open it up for him yet.

[KingsX]

[Corky]

Poor start but grew into the game, been on top pretty much since we scored. Barnes and Praet playing very well.

[StanSP]

How is Justin getting stick here?! 

[Muzzy_Larsson]

Played very well since going a goal down, really need to be more ruthless though and bury teams like Burnley when your on top. I don't know what game Keown is watching.

[kingfox]

Better understanding down the flanks tonight.

 

Barnes has been excellent, Praet’s movement has been excellent and Tielemans is controlling things.

 

Keep this tempo and a goal will come.

[shailen]

Looked good this half. Plenty of chances, good link up play... same second half and we win this. 

[Happy Fox]

Perez off Nacho on would be the next sub after half time, then Maddison for Praet on the 60 minute.

[Guest Kopfkino]

In what world are you allowed to put both hands on someone's chest and push them over

[RowlattsFox]

Satisfied enough with that, tough to create chances against Burnley and it looks like we're capable. Not fully convinced we'll shut the door when theu come forward though. 

 

Praet makes runs that Maddison doesn't and I think it creates a bit more space for us. Tielemans great for the most part, Barnes looking dangerous and Castagne knows how to pick a pass. Maddison for Perez early in the second half. 

[copunk]

Good half that, we are going forward with purpose and looking to get the ball forward quickly, mendy has been great, barnes looks well up for it, assist for timothy and creating good chances

[Sir Shep]

So it just shows that if Burnley win it will be the ultimate shithouse and prove that they are just a flukey team. Expect better second half, should be more than capable of beating these, assuming we can find our shooting boots and improve from set pieces. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Wood certainly pushes Justin... doesn’t get mentioned  

[Tom12345]

Good first half performance, especially on our left. Pleased, except that we should be 1-0 up. Woods clearly pushed Justin before scoring.

 

[coolhandfox]

Just need to be abit quicker on the ball!

[Dr The Singh]

That's handball
