A good win, although took a long time to get that first goal.

Mateta was huge today. Totally bullied the Burnley defenders. Great hold up play. Munoz is such a positive addition. Love his energy. Richards still scares me defensively, but fair play to him for that nice goal. Nice to see some Franca magic too. Only negative really was Edouard. He's just very weak overall. Hard to believe he was starting every match over Mateta not that long ago. Really surprised with how poor he was today. First game on a new manager, wouldn't have impressed Ollie. Good to see us keep pushing after going 1-0 up. Subs were correct IMO. We are still very inefficient with the ball, e.g. struggle to generate chances or play direct passes even when in good positions. One for the coaches to work on that's for sure Good to see Franca beaming from ear to ear walking off. 2 assists in an efficient little cameo. He should be very happy with that.

Such a nice change to watch attacking exciting football. For large parts of the game we had all 10 players in there half joining in the attack, especially Mitchell and Munoz.

I’d like to say that I told you so with regard to our teams management, but I’ll leave you to make your own mind up.

Glasner was asked in the press conference what he had changed from the previous management.

Not to get carried away. A win’s a win, even against poor opposition. Feels nice to score some goals and show attacking ambition. Credit to Richards in both this game and at Everton. I’ve slated him regularly in the past. Looked much more at home in his natural position, rather than looking a fish out of water when played out of position under R.H. Deserved his goal. Some flashes from Franca. Looks promising but needs to get more game time. Maybe time to give Edouard a rest for a few games , as he has offered little. Look forward to Eze’S return next game. COYP

Burnley are clearly very limited (even with eleven players) and look doomed. They defended stoutly (apart from the lunacy of the first goal) but once the first goal went in others were likely to follow. I thought the sending off was 100% correct, it was the clearest of clear goal scoring opportunities and Lerma (I think) was wrestled back. Great to see a training ground routine from a couple of corners, can’t remember the last time we tried something different. Franca was a great impact sub (loved his driving run at tired defenders for the penalty). Whether he is a starter I’m not sure but definitely deserves more minutes. JPM was very good again and deservedly got on the scoresheet. Every other game from now on will be a tougher proposition but a very promising start.

when Franca broke to get the pen, did you see how many were swarming to support? Good to see because that is the game these days: quick transition (as they say) with lots in support. good to see.

I guessing he won't be in again unless Mateta is injured. He's totally clueless no runs nothing, he's just following the game not leading it Jeff not even on the bench and can't see him in the injured lists. I doubt we'll see him again either

We’ve got 4 points from the last two games. Haven’t done that since we beat Man U and drew with Forest at the end of September. Nearly five months.
