CliftonCliff Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Anyone else watching this one involving our opponents next Saturday? Opening exchanges would argue strongly for employing a high press against Norwich. Two ghastly errors made in the first ten minutes, faffing about in and around their own area, both of which should have resulted in goals for Burnley. The second one did. Tim Krul presented the ball straight to an opposing forward on the edge of the box. Thanks very much. 1-0. (Bit like us, on occasion). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that at their place and Conway had a golden chance early on plus we put them under a lot of pressure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many teams at all levels trying to play like this these days, arguably with keepers and defenders who don’t have the ability to do it well - and safely. We’ve seen Atkinson, O’Leary and Naismith, among others, cause self-inflicted damage in the same manner. Watching it is not good for the blood pressure, when it’s your own team doing it, but I’m always encouraged when opponents try it on, for precisely the reasons you mention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich are 3-0 down now and, whilst they have some good players and are up against a very strong side today, they look short of confidence and self-belief. A lot depends on our game this afternoon. There is a bit of a feel-good factor about us at the moment, and if we go into the Norwich game with some momentum on the back of a positive result against Preston, I would fancy us to take at least a point. First things first, though: a win at Deepdale is long overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
