First sign of Di Maria holding onto a loose ball. Cleverley or Fletch would've lost that.
Things are settling down, thankfully.It wasnt a 'welcome to burnley' message. It was a 'im shit and youre good so ill foul you to pretend im hard' message.Ridiculous challenge on Di MariaWrong kind of football, mate.Apparently tackling Di Maria is the strategy today.Di Maria turn
and then fouleddi maria
It is a common, baffling, theme amongst commentators who apparently haven't seen the last 2 seasons.
They're the best, honestly.
He is.
I made this joke on our Monday game vs them, you;re too late
'Has that Burnley player borrowed his shirt from Steven'How was that not a yellow card?
he's got his arms all over his legsWelcome to the PL Di Maria.
And di Maria. He'll hopefully lift the team.We need to believe it is just Burnley.I do like Blackett.Christ, we desperately need a playmaker to take the ball from these idiot defenders.A few reasons why we play the way we play...
(a) lack of confidence
(b) lack of confidence
(c) lack of confidence
(d) new system we haven't figured out yet
(e) young, valencia and fletcher in the starting eleven (which wouldn't be a big problem if the points a to c wouldn't exist)
(f) lack of confidenceYou've broken ADM already
He probably completes more passes then our outfield players!Di maria needs to be rugby tackled to be stopped.Di Maria just showed more muscle on the ball than Cleverley's shown in 3 seasons
Go away.You've broken ADM already
Our defence can't pass for shit.
CarrickOur passing out of the back is dreadful.Good cross by ADM just no one attacking itSign Di Maria = good, defenders still playing hoof ball without ANY accuracy = bad.
The fans show more muscle pushing the turnstiles to get in than that spineless coward ever has.Blackett can't pass FFS!Burnley man marking our midfield, defenders punting hopeful balls forward nowIt's sad that that pass doesn't seem that bad after Evans.No depth at all.We definitely look like we're trying to play football today.Is the hoofing from our CBs a tactical decision?What a pass. Holy crap"It will take time". The errors we are seeing here are just basic passes not being made.What a ball from new boy- Status
