Before that incident, around 30 min mark, Trafford took 20 secs with the ball in his hands. For Trent, the Burnley player kicked the ball away, so Trent just waited for the ball boy (whatever they call them nowadays) to fetch it. That put Tierney on alert to insert his ego further into the game.
Then the Burnley lad at right back takes even longer just on the stroke of half time.
I’m a bit disappointed at 1:0. We should have had this game dead and buried by now. Burnley really are gash but it would only take one bit of luck or referee shithousery to mess this up for us.
I actually agree with that. We struggle to create the big chances in possession. We are actually more dangerous on transitions and Burnley is not moving that many guys up the pitch so our transitions are not fast enough to properly fuck them over (so far) when they are so deep in a lot of cases.
But I am otherwise quite okay with the game. We have played well. But we are not very lethal. Maybe ref stole a goal off us due to bad call, but Burnley hasn’t played good enought to battle us, and we are arguably not doing enough with the ball.
Just shown it again, no contact at all, but it isn’t just Tierney its the twat on VAR, how can you not say that is a clear and obvious error because there is NO contact.
Something needs doing, this is getting out of control and they aren’t even hiding their cheating
Anyway, as long as we win and much of Brummy-land are happy later tonight, it will be a good evening for us. As for Villa, I actually have them as favorites on Old Trafford.
Couple of iffy decisions, Tierney and co can’t wait to stick it to us. Hopefully we make that irrelevant. We can up it a few more percent and win this by three, at a canter. Thats what I’d like to see.
Lovely finish Nunez. I’m claiming the assist as I hooked him out of my fantasy team, after persisting all through his dry spell.
We were shocking at Luton and poor against Sheffield in the first halvese, it’s not important for me who we play, just the performance levels and the 3 points come the end of it. We’ve dominated from minute 1 to 47 and for me it’s the best first half display we’ve played.
