Tomaszk Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Lowton's delivery has always been so impressive. His lack of pace isn't too exposed in Burnley's compact system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 None of the ex-Villa players on show have looked out of place to be fair. If Burnley hang on, this will be the first time in 54 matches where they’ve won after conceding first. They thoroughly deserve the win today - they’ve out ‘fat sammed’ Fat Sam allerdyce with two big lumps up front! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is correct. Burnley play a tight 4-4-2/4-4-4-1 so their right midfielder (think it's Gudmundsson) always tracks back and helps Lowton out. In our 4-3-3 he was too exposed to other teams wingers. Shame as I thought with more coaching he could make a decent premier league player and he's proved that at Burnley.

Zatman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Lowton was always a good footballer the 6-1 Sunderland game a perfect example. As mentioned his protection was not so strong and that down to the manager at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted October 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2021 Nick Pope sitting in 4th place here for On-Ball Value excluding shots, assists and key passes. 4 hours ago, Stevo985 said: This is really really interesting stuff from StatsBomb. They’ve started assigning On Ball Value to passes and actions which is a metric that enables you to measure the effectiveness of passes and actions that don’t directly lead to a goal. I.e. it’s a way of measuring “assisting the assist” It adds context around why Grealish was worth so much while he played for us as he’s by far the best player in the league when it comes to this. It will also provide us a nice baseline to measure how he’s performing this season after his move compared to last season without using goals and assists “Kick. Rush. Harm. Attack. And that’s the Burnley way.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the article says you can clearly see the Grealish area of the pitch for Villa, the Trent area of the pitch for Liverpool, that sort of in and around the box area that Man City always work it into; and then teams like Palace and Burnley who are more direct and hit teams from the back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the likes Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End and Bolton Wanderers have that far more and I’d sooner have them in the top flight in place of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I think they will go down. Today is probably bigger than 3 points, losing to a shower like Newcastle must hit the confidence hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
