I've noticed in the last couple of weeks Trafford has got even later with releasing the ball... leaving it to the last minute to pass it to a defender. He's been caught out a couple of times lately without it leading to a goal. 

It happened last night against Burton, and happened against Oxford on saturday too. 

I really hope he doesnt leave it TOO late in one of the remaining games as I worry it's an accident waiting to happen and he's on his last couple of lives. 

I think he's probably been watching Ederson too much. Is anyone else worried?

I doubt he's going to get me many points on fantasy prem. 

Haaland on the other hand... 

First two beat most keepers, thought he was poor for the third. Didn't really look out of place though and made a few decent saves, think he will do alright but not the night to judge 

I hope Burnley concede shit loads this season.

Hope they lose every game. Fans are cunts

Good on Traff. 

He's come into a team that's won promotion from the championship. 

He's only played in league 1 and u21s. 

They've thrown him in at the deep end. 1st game of the season v city and Haaland. 

Unless he concedes a ton every game he's deffo got England number 1 vibes 

Just saying 

Just watched the highlights. 

Not sure what he could have done differently for the third neither.

A great delivery, and probably too far in front for him to come.

Shocking challenge at the end too, a deserved red.

Didn't think he should have come off his line, not into that crowd of players. He might not have been able to do much about it even if he stayed on his line, but just thought it was a bit naive coming out and getting wiped out by his own defender

Going from Port Vale away in L1 to being a starting Premier League goalkeeper vs Haaland in the space of a year is mad. Not sure anyone could've predicted how quickly he's progressed.

The lad played well, especially being his first prem game and the opposition.   He will concede a fair few as Burnley look very weak. 1 or 2 year stepping stone ,  probably 1 as they will struggle to stay up.

I think he would have.

He lacks for nothing in self-confidence.

Agreed. It’s probably easier to appear a great ‘keeper when you’ve got decent defenders relative to your opposition than when you’re defence is fairly weak relative to your opposition.

It’s very hard to judge keepers in games if there are no stand out moments (cock ups or outstanding saves). Nothing to report last night unless anyone wants to analyse his passing. 3 goals where he can’t be blamed. A couple of routine saves, no significant errors. If he’d played for us for 3 games, the goals against column would still be nil, if Baxter had played for Burnley they would have lost 3-0.  Let’s see how it plays out for both keepers.
