sephjnr Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 After losing two key players and the gaffer that was as good a showing that could be expected against promotion favourites, especially a football hero wanting to make his mark as a manager.

BUTOR Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 As we are aware, coming back after losing a play-off final is a deflating task. The loss is still lingering, and players and fans know deep down the almighty effort it took to get there won’t realistically be repeated. I can see Huddersfield struggling this season. Burnley look good, like our Nige Kompany speaks a lot of sense around culture and recruitment. He actually seems quite old school in his approach. In a weird way he could be a good fit for Burnley, although given their squad and budget he can’t be truly soaked in praise until they perform in the division above.

If burnley are still opening teams up like this in October fair enough . also , there’s no way they have this tempo 15-20 games into the season . 38 games kompany is used to in the prem. don’t know how many they play at a slower pace in Belgium .
