update of here in the studio,
this Thursday afternoon watching bunny. Do themselves,
a massive favor, Rebecca Lowe Rafael and Danny Higginbotham.
So the story really unfolds during the first 45 minutes at
Turf Moor
Southampton had a few chances all begin with one of their
best after 7 Minutes Rafael. Yeah, they started. The game,
is we well, I thought the only a little nervous and romão
here with a free head inside the Box will see, You've got
him. Highlighted here. Nobody's picking him up. That's not
good. Organization should be punishing, Burnley
but misses the Target in it.
Came costly because Burnley
started to play on the front foot. Look how many
climate and blue shirts or ahead of the ball. We don't
often see this and burn the teams in. That's a beautiful
finish by Connor Roberts bought into the team from at Logan in
the right back position watching on them,
about vehicles have been centre-forward here. He cleans
the space Roberts, easy, and with his left foot. It's
a beautiful finish.
The puts Burnley 1l up and into the lead,
and they should have made it to
as Mike Jackson in his coaching staff.
Celebrating that goal and
Jay Rodriguez who also played particularly. Well today has
a good chance here. The ball comes back to him. He has two
attempts on the goalkeeper Forrester. Makes a good save
there. And then the other one is blocked
liked to have seen Rodriguez find the back of the net in
that Cajun and I talked about
Situations here. This is a really good save this time from
Forrester. And when the Balkans up their course
this time, he's a centre-forward you should be
scoring the balls up in the air and you see the big
centre-forward gets their
guides it just onto the post in the shakes his head as he knows
that should have been to.
He's a situation again where romão we talked about him,
having three headers in the Box again. He doesn't punish
Burnley, Paul gets played in and he gets free inside that
six yard box and again, misses the target.
Minutes later another chance of early Danny.
And then Burnley, they kept going
and only what they got the first goal and they wanted
the second one. And it's dry. Minnelli's for great striking
saw Hansen's, man of the match for stone makes a great safe.
Sharply down to his left hand side. Then it was such a
such a good save as well. And then
eventually going to get there, just rewards asking all
the questions Collins. Guess they had a on the born then it's
just cork. He's not interfering with four steps. And then
the argument is, does he touch the ball before it goes into
the back of the net
and see quite clearly?
That he doesn't so therefore from you can see I'm just
waiting
and he gets his just reward himself for being in the right
place at the right time. But then Southampton and they made
a couple of substitutions themselves. And then Chase
Adams find yourself in a great position, lovely ball in from
Redmond.
And just that first time, effort will post in the right
place at the right time to put it over the bar, and
most rarely Southampton gave. They didn't give too much as
a game went on. And then Bernie later on.
They were asking for a penalty
time, ward-prowse. I just think in this, This scenario
ward-prowse is to close that are cops when he takes a strike
and you could argue that. It's an unnatural position, but
I think because of how close it is to the ball.
That's the reason that the panel is not been given.
It is a good strike from tacos. Going to play Just covers on.
That's it. All smiles at the full-time. Whistle Allen Pace.
Who made that decision to find Sean died. She must be feeling
a little bit more comfortable.
Now, with the four points from two games, and here's
the running because it does look like one of these two to go
down along with what for Norwich ever did. I've got
a really tough one, Liverpool at anfield Sunday that it's
Chelsea at home.
Lester away, Watford away Brentford at home Palace at home
and they finish the season away at Arsenal. Don't want to be
going into that final day trying to get nothing at
the Emirates water. Bernie. I should say have got wolves on
Sunday. They've got a game less. They play the game more
Watford and Villa Tottenham Villa again,
and then Newcastle at home on the final day. You make up your
minds. It does look like burnley's running though, is
significantly smoother. Let's hear from the goalscorers.
Connor Roberts and Nathan Collins.
Conan. I think, congratulations. First of all,
your manager wanted to see character. Is that what we saw
out there tonight? Yeah. Definitely I think is in
grading us from from when we first come to the club to
the boys, we've been here for a long time, is
what we do is we fight, you know, we're not necessarily
the best team, but we fight to the end and we done that tonight
and bits of quality shown, and
massive three points. To be honest, only one of the changes
tonight. One of the only two changes, it was made man of
the match performance. Got a goal as well. That's not bad change.
He has always the first to know, you know, I mean, and
like I say I've been disappointed not to play
the last few, and I just want to play and, and enjoy my football
and I think I did that tonight, you know started. Well,
it's called the goal. And then, I give me a little bit of
Freedom then to do, I want kind of thing and, you know, Gap and
down what I do. And yeah, fairly happy with my
performance, Nathan. Then, it was your turn, but it was a bit
of a nervy, wait, to see if
Jack was outside or not, wasn't it? Yeah. It was a nice because
I celebrated, I didn't want to make a fool of myself. What
happened was guiding me want to another so it's a good win for
us. Good. Is it to see?
Not just you scoring but creating so many chances as
well. You've been missing that last season. Yeah, you can see
out there. Everyone's enjoying their football, you know, we're
together. Great to get a new summer creating chances and
that's all we can do at this stage
of the season last couple of games now, unbeaten. I mean,
you're picking up the points. Four point, seven, two games.
How much belief is there?
Yeah, I think there's that always be belief, you know, we
know we've got quality in there and if we work hard and do what
we've done tonight in the remaining games, then who knows
what can happen. But I know myself and all the lads in
there will give everything to
try and keep this.
Club up and we've got, is it five games to
just give everything and hopefully we can do it
that next game as well. Back here at Turf Moor in front of
this crowd. That was so big tonight as well is against
walls. If you win that, you could go out of the relegation
Zone.
Before Everton have to play Liverpool. How much of a source of
inspiration is that
for me? I'm not really looking at everything, you know, we're
constraining ourselves. We have another game to go on Sunday.
So with the rest up and get ready to go again and hopefully
put on a little performance and kind of just tell us about
the guidance of Mike while he's been in.
Here in the short time. Even though you know each other very
well how different is it with him as a manager and how you're
responding?
Yeah. I think he hasn't come in and change know everything, but
I think he's give us that little bit more freedom to do
what we want. You know, he says he's not trying to coach us
every day. He's just letting us do our thing and
we're good players.
We wouldn't be if we were in a half-decent. So he's just
letting us, you know, enjoy our football. And I think the last
two games, we've shown glimpses of that. And
so all we can do is keep doing that until the end of the season.
Really interesting players, they're saying and they said
all week. Actually. They just want to enjoy their football,
might Jackson's allowing that our Premier League Insider
David Olson told us a couple of days after shundich was sacked
that the dressing room. According to his sources,
broadly supported the firing of Sean died. What they're saying
and how they're performing
would suggest that's true.
Yeah. It would. I think, I think at times, you know, it is
criticism that at times, kind of Fairly be be thrown at
Players. I've seen it myself. I've had it myself when I've
been in dressing rooms
some Times. It can just be a different voice. Sometimes. It
can just be something that that freshens it all,
as Rob is quite rightly said they played more football today
as they did against West Ham and when they talk about
enjoying their football as well. Is that
everybody enjoys games when you play in when you obviously,
when you're winning,
but what you have to do the scenario that Bernalillo and
now they're actually embraced in it. They know that, you
know, the odds are against them to a certain extent, but
they're embracing that every single one of the plays.
They've got so many similar characters within this dressing room
and whether Sean dies obviously was in charge or not. I don't
think it changes, the mindset of the players because they
will go out and they know what's needed, and it's up to
them to go and do it. Rob,
slightly disagree with Becca.
I get the sense that one or two of these players were probably
feeling under the old regime and we insure and I each have
trusted for many years, that they felt there was more to
come. There was, they could play better, they
were interested. And want to be trusted enough to have
possession to get forward to go and attack to see the things.
Have 16 shots in a game that we've seen.
Today and talked about Dwight McNeil
talked about Jay Rodriguez today talked about Connor
Roberts from fall back, overlapping and getting in and
making things happen. They talk about when you, when you
enjoying your football. It's when you feel more free and you
can express yourself.
It's sent. I will get the sense that one or two. Maybe not just
you in, with feeling a little bit conditioned by Sean diets
in the system and weren't able to play in the
with the freedom that they've wanted.
Could could that not be?
As they say, a new manager bounce,
interesting. When you say new manager balance, because
Numa a new management comes, when somebody new comes in
the bill or voice. Sorry and standards of raised Clean Slate
play with freedom mean. This guy's in a
garage from the under-23 is an interim
tickling, a new voice.
It's just a different way
of setting the team up to play and go and express themselves.
Do you think that the players
are better than Shawn Dyke thought they were
Yeah, there is an argument to say there's definitely
arguments say that, and they have finished higher up in
the Premier League, but I think it's certain times. Yes, they
played with a sense of Freedom today, but I think it's certain
times you play.
What you believe is the best way to get yourself out of
the predicament. And that's what Sean died. She's done. We know
that goal scoring has never been the strongest Point
defensively. They've always been strong and I think Sean
dieters always looks on
Earth. All right, we're defensively. Strong
will stay in the Premier League
and you know, they're getting towards the game towards that
now. I strongly believe that they'll stay up. You Gotta Give
Mike Jackson credits really good question of backer because
I played in Wimbledon team where the system were more
important than
any individual player.
And I think Sean Duchess of that of that style where it's
about the system's about 442,
okay, and that's okay as long as you stay in but this year
where it looked like they weren't the little bit of
tweaks and changes, maybe is put a different sort of slant
on this Boomers team. Yeah, interesting. We're going to
wait to hear from The Bernie interim manager,
Mike Jackson soon as that interview comes in, will bring
it to you. But one other really big Big piece of news, coming
out of the Premier League this morning. And that is
the impending arrival of this man. Currently the I-X
manager, Eric 10 hog, confirmed by United this morning. He will
be arriving at Old Trafford, on a three-year deal. They'll be
an option for an extra year, and he comes with his
own backroom staff. Mitchell Van Der Garde and Steve
McClaren, the old Manchester United assistant manager, old
England, manager of Middlesboro manager, as well. Will also
assist Eric 10, hog at Old Trafford, and we've spoken
a little about this so far.
If you are the players
at Manchester United, how many of those players are looking
forward to this? And how many are thinking right now? That is
definitely me gone
depending on how he walks into the building Rebecca and his
first conversation with the players. And this is going to
be huge because his work starts today.
He walked into that, that football club. And you think
actually, it might be starting now, don't you think he's going
to take some time to start planning. I mean, I think he
would start to plan and he'll also be talked to rag, Nick.
And he we'll have a say in some of the things I would suggest.
Eight ten plays could be leading this football club in
the summit. This guy is going to be is going to rebuild this
thing until we build it. You've basically got a knock it all
down and start again and put some pillars in place
that you can start to build. He remembered
and this is just one thing I think is important to say,
he's not the only build Manchester United back to
challenge. He's got to get on the levels of Liverpool and
Manchester City who were right up there.
So it's not just getting this team going again. It's got to
get them competitive with two of the best teams. We've seen
in the Premier League. So Robbie, The answer bigger and
more important than the ends. Yeah, let's talk about the out
stock. But Out,
Barney out, Matic is going, we no matter
matter out, possibly
Harry MaGuire, possibly highly McGuire out. Wow, one besakih
probably back up, Lindelof backup.
Let Ling guard out
Rushford, Rushford possibly out the backer.
I think you'll want to have a look at him. See if he can
build his confidence. But if that's if it isn't going to
deliver on a Basis
it will be out. Renounce guys gonna have to make some really
big decisions. Ronaldo. I think he keeps, I think you keep
the amount of goals that he brings in his attitude.
I think the problem you have a Moonshiner, go back to Arsenal
few years ago, I think
Four players at the moment is too easy to play for Manchester
United. As in terms of, there's a lack of accountability.
And, you know, when you played against the Manchester United
teams, when they had the success,
they would all have no problem with criticizing each other.
And now, I just feel as though, you did go through the motions.
The whole meant that has to be a mentality shift, a complete
mental shift. That's a go back to being a football club
instead of being a business Club. That's first and
foremost, the manager, 10 hog. He needs to be able to
take control as in,
Of the decisions are made by him football and wise, because
at the moment, you've still got people live from Sir Alex
Ferguson from from other managers and no one's going in
the same direction.
So you have no Hope on the pitch.
Let's everything's okay off at do you as a man from
Manchester? Who does love that club. Do you feel more hopeful
today than you did
a couple of months ago.
This is going to sound bizarre. Feel more hopeful because
a redneck now, not because he's been the manager,
but because of what he will have seen behind the scenes
that needs fixing the It's fix any can tell, Eric Taylor. He
can tell that he can sell 10 hog about, but not just that
the experience that he's up because all the managers have
just been. Okay, we'll just get on with it. So that's why I'm
hopeful
but it's going to be a long road.
Okay? Well, we'll Erickson hog, have Champions League, football
to look forward to next season. Let's take a look at where
United are in the table as things down. The answer to that
is no 33 played a game more than both Arsenal and Tottenham
in there, three points further back than both Spurs
and are sore, but they're not out of the race for the top
four. They've won just 15 games. Names of those 33. So
far this season, of course, if you work back the top of
the league yesterday after beating brighter, let's have a little.
Look at the bottom half of the table. We've talked about
Berlin, we've talked about Everton's
just a point, separating them. Yes, Bunny and play the game
more but their goal difference is better and you have to say
they're running is better. And the momentum it does feel
is with Mike Jackson's men talking of which when we come
back here on goals own, that was a premier league update.
