Burnley v Sunderland (EFL Cup 2nd Round)

[Altobelli]

I'd heard off others that Drinkwater was well off the pace Jon, surely Dyche knew this before we loaned him, or should I say got him to appease the fans, so yes another window without strengthening the squad really, but some still see it with Claret tinted glasses and will praise Dyche, Garlick and the team to the hilt.

Reality check please guys and gals?
For those of you who have ever played football you need at least half a dozen games for eleven players to gel.
Not playing regular football sucks the life out of any player, Gibson and Vydra proved excellent testimony to that last night.
You could insert any 1 or 2 players from last night's team into our first team and you would not realise the difference.
SD clearly and obviously has no regard for cup competitions, but prefers to focus on the EPL.
That's why I spent my time and money having a lovely dinner with the Child Bride rather than turning up to watch another masterclass in "We couldn't care less".
Bring on the Reds!

No wonder this lot aren't making it into the first team.To be fair I don't suppose they've all played together before as a team but it's no excuse really. Hart is well past his sell-by date and it was obvious that Dyche wasn't bothered about salvaging the game when he brought Wood on. He's not scoring at the moment so Barnes would have been a better proposition in the hunt for a goal or two. Really isn't fair on the fans as this happens year after year in this Cup competition. It's demoralising.

On that Hart note Fran, I did not and would not go to the game because we ain't bothered about cup competitions, so neither am I. On the "highlights" it was cringeworthy to watch England's former undisputed number one goalkeeper play like that. We really do need to offload him somehow.

At least we know he’s capable of it Alto , the real question for me anyway is,does he want to get himself sorted and back to playing regular or is the money enough.
He looked better than most on the field tonight and by that I mean glimpses of class but a yard off the pace.

Its wearing thin Sinkov, years ago I used to beg, steal, borrow and lie to get to a Burnley game home and away, nowadays I make do with streams or IPTV that Whitty has been very good in getting me for nothing, I also watch the full game again after seeing it live, and when I cannot get a stream or the IPTV to see it I turn into a lunatic and Matron does not come near me.

On Sunday I could not get the IPTV to work and there was No streams to watch, I was annoyed but not nearly as bad as I can get, again tonight no streams or IPTV, and you know something Sinkov, I really was not bothered, like you have lost the will to visit Turf Moor, I seem to be losing the will to watch, I'll still support them but the will and inclination is certainly wavering.

Dyche Could go down in Burnley's history as one of our greatest Managers, yes he's done well up to press, but for me he could do a lot better IMO.

I usually watch our games on First Row Sports Alto, they have 6/7 streams and one of them usually works. On Sunday I watched the first half with a poor quality picture, a bit blurred, I tried a different stream in the second half and it was perfect, HD quality. It's worth trying if your usual stream isn't working. They didn't have a stream for last night's game though thank god, seems like that would have been two hours of my life wasted that I could never get back.
