bfox Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Really good performance all round. Well pleased for Dennis, looking like he's enjoying himself a bit more here and maybe he's found his role in this team. Only negative tonight is we did look a bit shaky when the obligatory last ditch pressure came on and looked a bit lightweight defending deep crosses. Other than that, we're looking damn good going forward.
StriderHiryu Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 That was a really entertaining match to watch. Offensively we were irrepressible, it was awesome to watch, MOTM between TIelemans and Castagne for me. I will give it to Youri because of that incredible pass he made for the third goal. I do have to give Dyche a lot of credit today. Yes it's true that Burnley don't play great football, but I think that's being quite unfair. They have evolved their style and with many injuries and no signings they were very competitive. They did what many teams did to us at the end of last season in terms of sussing us out - press the back four so we can't get out and play it back to Schmiechel who then gives it away with a sloppy pass. They did this a number of times and got a lot of joy from it and the problem is that better teams than Burnley will do it to us and will get good mileage out of it. Just watch Man City do it to us next week for example. But all that said, going forwards we were so good to watch. All of the Belgians superb, Barnes fantastic. I love watching us when we play like that, and at times I find it hard to believe that Leicester, yes LEICESTER CITY can play like that. Fantastic!
Chester Dontlie Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Sweet 3 points against these ugly sour ****s. Gotta love the sight of rabid Dyche foaming at the sideline Also, our Belgians are the dog’s bollocks!
StriderHiryu Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Hey Brendan, I've solved the selection dilemma you will face in November. There can only be one way to play now!
foxes_rule1978 Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Not bad at all, the fact we have a makeshift defence and a midfielder playing centre half and won both games is very good.

Scotch Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Things I've took away from that... Castagne is a beast! It's going to be a shame when Mendy is dropped, he's been excellent. JJ is NOT a left back by any stretch. Barnes is going to have a great year.

But he will improve with time...some fans need to get off his back There's nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade. He looks good going forward, but defensively he's a bit of a liability and I'm basing that not just on tonight but having given away a couple of goals post lockdown also. Yes, give him time to develop and let him make mistakes but equally, whatever age he is he can't be persevered with if he's giving goals away regularly and being very naive as he was tonight. If he's giving goals away he should be criticised as anyone else would be. I'm not saying he's giving goals away consistently just yet btw but the warning signs are there. Hopefully it's the catalyst for him to iron that out though.

happy85 Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Ok we got a big problem at left back justin not ready yet
SkidsFox Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 I get the feeling the bookies won the be offering 5,000 to 1 odds... just saying (and no, we won't finish above Pool or Man Ciddy)

AmyLGK Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Holy crap!!! And we've got Evans, Ricardo and ünder to come in 😲🎉🎉🎉🎉
simFox Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Great start, more to come I think, nice to see them still going for goal in the 90th minutes.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 I mean we look shaky at the back still but when you look at how it will change in the next month or so, even without bringing anyone else in, it will get better. Ricky P back and hopefully Castagne will hit the ground running on the opposite side which puts Justin on the bench (he's a weak link for me). Under will go straight In to the first 11 to give us more width. Evans back means ndidi can go back where he is best. We are getting there
RumbleFox Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 The conundrum is, that creatively Maddison is probably our best player. But Tielemans and Praet both play better without him. Nice problems too have I suppose. X

I'll never understand folk on here who expect them to come out and play Tiki Taka, plain daft. They play to their strenghths and in doing that punch way above their weight which should be comended.
samlcfc1 Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Was good to see in an attacking sense ... we normally struggle to break teams down sitting that deep
Fightforever Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Transfer department need to bring in that center back before the man city game.
whitlock Posted 20 September 2020 Posted 20 September 2020 Worth giving a shout out to Mendy, who I think has been superb in the last two games. Always been a bit part player but when ever he has been called upon he’s been faultless.
