Re: Real Betis v Burnley (pre-season friendly) Match thread

Much better second half with Foster, Taylor, Ekdal and the young Kolo lad playing well. Twine finding his feet at a higher level and despite his booking, I thought Cork played okay. I still think we need Tella back and two powerful midfielders.

Re: Real Betis v Burnley (pre-season friendly) Match thread

We have hardly made a pass to each other in midfield, where is Cullen? Foster and the new lad living of scraps. Their player deserved to be sent off, he made four or five nasty tackles before the last one which was brutal. Yellow possibly for JBG for kicking out.
