Ian Wright on 5Live
"Chelsea played fantastically"
Really? How did he come to that conclusion? We stopped them playing all over the pitch!

To get a point at Turf Moor takes some doing.

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
I do get that impression. He almost avoids any mention of us. It's like he had a horrible experience at Burnley and never wants to be reminded of it ever again.charlyt wrote:Wright has never acknowledged he was once a Claret....!

Rather strange Wright's lack of feeling towards Burnley.... he certainly seemed happy enough while he was with us.

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
If he hated it here, at least he put in a professional performance. Nowadays players sulk, post on twitter about how hard done by they are or sit crying in the car.
What a shame as a pundit he follows the party line of "any club outside top 6 are crap"

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
He's right, Chelsea were fantastic but we were imperious. Since they got battered at Arsenal they went to a back 3 and haven't budged from it, today in the second half they went to a flat back four to try and combat our press.
SO just to make it clear, the Champions elect came to little old Burnley and had to change THEIR tactics because we were imperious !!

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
As far as I remember he carried on training with the team after his stint ended here to keep fit. Great pals with Mitchell Thomas. So he couldn't have hated it.

Yep. I don't recollect Conte changing from a back 3 once, since he arrived and changed it originally. That says a lot.biggles wrote:Vegas Claret wrote -

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
Great player for us and thoroughly professional - especially considering he'd played most of his career at the highest level. His influence in getting us promoted not dissimilar to Joey's contribution last season.
As a pundit, tends to react more like a fan, which doesn't add a great deal of value/insight and as has been pointed out all his analysis is from the perspective of the big clubs.

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
I only caught part of the show and he was advising another lad who was hoping to do the same sort of step up.
He actually said to many trialists think they need to change their game when they get spotted and invited to clubs for a trial.
They need to play the way they were when they were spotted.

He changed for a few minutes against Arsenal last week, conceded a goal and changed back straight away.FactualFrank wrote:Yep. I don't recollect Conte changing from a back 3 once, since he arrived and changed it originally. That says a lot.

The fact he once was a Claret shouldn't mask the fact he has insight and intellect on par with Paul Merson, IMO.

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
Met him once at a golf day. He said that he was in regular contact with Barry Kilby and emailed Barry when he found out that he was ill. I think that he is a Palace fan first, a Gooner second and rarely mentions his times at Wet Spam, Celtic or TM !

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
I also think Wright was superb for Burnley and as said very professional. At the time, I thought he was often left on the bench for too long, but he just got on with it and scored some very important goals.
As a pundit he's very poor in my opinion.
Danny Murphy is the best pundit around at the moment, talks some real sense even on Talksport.

Re: Ian Wright on 5Live
He's not one of the Game's Big Thinkers, is he?
He's a pretty poor pundit because he cannot detach himself from his emotions in any way, shape, or form.
