So because of a team effort he should get an individual recognition? Unless I'm missing something I thought TotS was for the best players of the season. Not that Aguero has been bad or anything (quite the opposite), but he hasn't been as good as Sterling, Silva or Hazard.

I guess there is some talk of Lampard taking over Chelsea. My only issue with it is with how quick we are to fire managers, I wouldn't want that to hurt his legacy. We need a proper rebuild, and any new manager needs to be allowed an adjustment period, which doesn't happen at Chelsea.

TAA best right back in English football at 20 years old and he's not even a right back. Immense.

Why does Burnley need a result? They're 9 points up on Cardiff and have half their GD.

Now, yes. But he wasn't in the academy.
IIRC this is his third season as a RB. Which makes it all the more impressive that he made the XI.

No he should get individual recognition because he has the most goals on the team that won and similar amount of assists to some of the guys ahead of him.

I thought you were just talking about changing narratives to suit arguments. I'm sure you never take the same stance with Ronaldo for example. Goals are not the be all end all. He's been outplayed by multiple players on his title winning team. Not anything to be ashamed about; he's had a great season and is a great player.

Funny because I called them dikks all throughout that game. Maybe the only game I’ve ever really wanted to see United win. How on earth did their back 4 lose their shape that badly?
I mean, that’s bad. Sunday league levels bad.

A partial defense is that it was on the counter, so they were strung out. The back 3 were lined up normally a few seconds before that, Lindelof stayed him to pressure Sterling (right move) while the other 2 backed away. Aguero made a run from just left of center to cross over the other 2 and for some reason Darmian followed him like crazy even though Smalling was right there. If Darmian is about level with Smalling, the shape doesn't look bad at all and the chance is mostly broken up.
It's a bad play by Darmian, but he's also an out of action RB suddenly playing RCB so I can kinda understand not having the instincts.
Are you really the kind of football fan that knows nothing about the difference in the standings at the end of the season?

I don't really think I'd say Burnley *need* a result. It'd certainly be nice for them as it could mean the difference between finishing 16th and finishing 11th due to how packed the mid table is, and that's a good chunk of revenue for a smaller club. (~2 million a place is the incremental payout)
Granted a point actually does mathematically guarantee them safety, and they're not the type of club to roll over anyway, so I think they'll be a tough match.

Right. It's nice, and of course it would be great to get a bit more money, but that's not make or break for their season and it's not a 'need' persay. Usually when someone says they need a result it's based on their finish getting something, or not being relegated.

Right but Burnley don't need a result any more than anyone else in the 11-15 range and need it less than basically the rest of the table.
Liverpool/City obviously "need" results to win
The other 4 "need" results to get top 4.
The 7-10 teams "need" results to get 7th and possible Europa league.
16-18 "need" results to not be relegated.
