Yep

Solid against the ball, very good with the ball (cock ups will be punished if we give it up at the back), and effective on the break.

When you put all those things together, it's not hard to see why the Burnley approach is easier to execute. We have to be excellent in all areas to have any chance of winning, or even getting a point.

Really hope we can do it and shut all the naysayers up.

        That's prob a bit less than I thought it might be (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 24, 10:27:19
        
        The worry for Pukki is that Todd didn't set up that many of his goals (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 24, 10:22:27
        
        8 assists for Todd last season was quite a big improvement on where he was in other season (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 24, 10:30:43
        
        How many for Pukki? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 24, 10:32:10
        
        2 (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 24, 10:40:59
        
        In his first season though, quite a few goals were from cut backs (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 24, 10:27:01
        
        Yes, that's true, a fair few from Onel (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 24, 10:30:06
        
        Frankly, I think we'll struggle to pass our way through more or less all teams (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 24, 10:33:44
        
        Which depends on us being very solid against the ball... (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 24, 10:35:39
        
        Yep (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 24, 10:42:47
        
        Was saying the other day that Farke is a great manager of a good team (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 24, 10:48:51
