Merson on SSN new says Arsenal can go through the Burnley defence like a knife through butter

Someone should tell him arse have not scored

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:35 pm

Much better.

Though I see when the pressure is on, Arsenal can just chuck themselves on the floor for a FK

Doubt many would have expected the best two hours we've played this season to be the two hours without Cullen.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:38 pm

Brownhill giving it away and Traffor forced into the save. FFS we have got to stop doing that.

He slows the game down far too much

claretgimmer · Post by **claretgimmer** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:39 pm

I do wish Amdouni would look a bit more interested, slow to react and giving the ball away to easily to often.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:39 pm

Trafford has been excellent so far.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:40 pm

Well, I'm praying for HT, as usual!

I still think they will come out with a burst after the break.

Nowt wrong with that. Wall's usually fallen down by now.

This change in defensive shape certainly makes us look more solid

Trafford has been excellent.

I'm certain some on here will blame him for the JBG miss.

Get it to the corner flag!

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:43 pm

Arsenal are a very good team right now and we have really restricted them and even created a couple of chances. This really does look better for us, showing more fight and determination.

Been times this season where it's felt like Kompany thought defending was beneath us. Glad we've rediscovered what a defensive line actually looks like.

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:45 pm

Unbelievable what these nobheads are getting away with

...and this twunt Oliver is one of the better refs!

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:45 pm

Saka definitely trips him. Effective.

Would probably just have ended up defending after our set piece in any case.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:46 pm

Hows that not a free kick on Koleosho?

I'll tell you why Oliver is the ref

He was looking right at it as well.

Any club in the country would take this result at half time. Well done so far boys.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:47 pm

Berge has done really well. Everywhere blocking and winning everything.

Historically Oliver gives Burnley virtually next to nothing every time he refs us or is VAR operator, the facts are there

I can't believe people are surprised by this

What is it with us and 'just before half time.' I was sat here saying that we would let one in just before.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:48 pm

O'Shea lets his man go.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:48 pm

Best half of the season for me

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:49 pm

How does it always happen just before HT? Saka can't be winning headers there though.

Paddy1882 · Post by **Paddy1882** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:49 pm

Take his head off with that Trafford take the lot please!!

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:49 pm

How the **** can Saka beat what I presume was Beyer and O'shea in the air?

Playing well and losing is the mark of relegation

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:50 pm

Ffs I was literally mid typing a half time post.

We'd been looking so good. O'Shea best game by a mile, Vitinho good besides one wobble, two superb saves from Trafford and two great efforts. But we have to win that header and Trafford has to do better, he flapped and was stuck on his line too long. Devastating after we'd done so well and especially after he'd had such a good game.
