Pizy 18,953 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 He’s just fucking nuts, man. A goddamned machine of a goal scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 His finishing is indeed fantastic. Get the ball to him and he can apply the finish from any position and condition. Inter understood that and did well preventing him from getting the ball often. Burnley evidently have been unable to do that. Second goal was a sweet shot, but the 3 Bunrley players were nowhere near Haaland. The difference in quality between these two sides is really something.

Pizy 18,953 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 You’ve got to do two big things when you’re playing against City or they’ll systematically dismantle you. You’ve got to stop press them aggressively when they’re building up and you’ve got to deny Haaland having many sniffs of the ball. You see Ederson just standing on the ball for like 15 seconds at a time often. You’ve got to speed him up and disrupt their play from the back. And as we saw against Arse in the Community Shield, when Haaland isn’t touching the ball he’s not much of a threat. He was totally invisible that game. He may be the best pure finisher since CR7 but he doesn’t do much else in general play. Vesper and NikkiCFC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,224 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 lol, Cteh has spent £150m more just on the defenders currently under contract than Burnley has spent on ALL transfers, all players in their entire 141 year history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 There was a moment where Burnley defense line, under mild pressure, attempted to exchange 3 passes to get the ball forward. The 3rd one went over the sideline. One of the many embarrassing moments. Left that "game" shortly past halftime: have better things to do, like watching grass grow.

Vesper 30,224 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) hard to defeat a team that has 2nd best GK in the planet (Ederson, after Cuntois) best right-footed (and overall) CB on the planet Rúben Dias likely the best left footed CB on the planet (or soon will be) Josko Gvardiol best DMF on the planet (Rodri) best AMF on the planet (when he is healthy) De Bruyne best CF on the planet (and 2nd best player after Mbappe) Håland and also, when they play together, the best best defensive (not offensive) PAIR of fullbacks on the planet in Aké and Akanji Edited August 11, 2023 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such scintillating football -.- Burnley, Nottingham, Luton, Brentford, Brighton, Fulham, Sheffield, Bournemouth, Wolves. This is 9 teams that all played Championship in the last 6 years. Not sure this happened before. If you add Palace who lost best players and Everton which is shambles for years this is 11 teams against which you could win 66 points in a season potentially. Sometimes this is enough for CL. Really no excuse for Pochettino to lose lots of points against these lot if any. WH is closer to this bracket as well. Losing Rice and possibly Paqueta plus European football... I see Brighton and Fulham losing the edge from previous season and Brentford without Toney. Big 6 plus Newcastle and Aston Villa are top8. And we don't have a European football so really CL place should not be questioned at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 and yet they will get beaten this season. They won't win again, at least not the CL. KDB not being healthy is already hurting them a lot. They missed him against Inter, but got lucky the other side relied on someone like Lukaku to win matches. Inter had the intensity, but not the quality to hurt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 18/19 they won the league with 98 points. KDB contribution was close to zero, played just 974 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
