Burnley 1-1 LCFC - Post Match Thread

[Vestan Pance]

A decent point with so many players out.

We seem to have perfected the art of getting into good positions out wide and then moving it back 60 yards to the central defenders......and repeat.

Top 4 not happening.

 

To think we called Spurs out for being bottlers.

In what way have we ‘bottled’ then?

Actually thought the boys put in a decent shift. Would have lost that last season.

we did lose that last season 2-1, so there is a progress.

[talking_goldfish]

Will take that result, would have taken the draw before the game too. We weren't at it today so definitely a point gained.

 

Fofana coming on a positive too, hopefully some other players won't be far behind.

 

No complaints from me, just hope Palace do a Burnley and turn into a decent side for 1 night only tonight too.

Baffled by Rodgers subs sometimes..

 

1) How did Hamza survive 75 minutes?

2) Why does he always seem to sub Iheanacho off when he's playing well?

3) There is literally no excuse to play Amartey RB when Castagne and Ricardo are both on the pitch and Thomas is on the bench. Its a complete waste of a position as he adds nothing. 

 

Good job Kasper is World Class otherwise we lose that comfortably.. 

He is SO SO scared to play the ball into the box. Cuts it back to the edge of the area EVERY TIME!

[goose2010]

Over reactions here again I see....

 

Wasbt great but with what we had available we did ok. 

 

Forfana coming back was key. As the back 4 that finished the game was solid.

Not sure why people are saying goodbye to top 4 wtf 

Because we were utter dogshit against a mid-table Arsenal and were nearly as bad against Burnley. 

 

Fvcking Burnley.

We maybe, our form does not look good.  

What about when we get some better players back? 

 

We've only not won in 2 in the league

 

[Wolfox]

Strange subs???

 

Whilst the two players hooked were unlucky, we did improve significantly as a result…

[South Shire Fox]

Never ever play Daniel Amartey as a rb again in a team that relys on its fullbacks to create chances.. hes a reserve cb and thats it

[adejo92]

Hanging on for our lives to gain a point against a 15th place Burnley speaks volumes. 

[Pliskin]

Poor game, and not a good result in terms of our position, but let’s face it, we probably didn’t deserve to win.... point and no injuries are literally the only positives. We need to get at least a win from our next two games.

 

I do think top four is gone, we will eventually surrender to Chelsea. But at least we didn’t lose. We badly need a break, I don’t think we have anything left in the tank. 

[Blue Ed]

Starting the game with 3 rightbacks and 3 defensive midfielders. It was never going to be pretty.

 

Well played to the lads. 

[winteriscoming]

Too negative from Brendan. 
Why he kept chodury on for so long I don’t know. 
Would of preferred Under on instead of being predictable and bringing Albrighton on. 

[Metal Lover]

Pretty wank,  but it could have been worse

[adam]

Terrible result. There is no way we are getting top 4. Not a chance. Manager making strange decisions. Picking the wrong side and system from the start. Then having to change the system after getting completely out played. Stop playing a back 3. It's bloody terrible. Stop playing hamza and play a right winger and put Ricardo at right back where he plays so well. Very harsh on Nacho taking him off. Looked miles sharper than Vardy.  Burnley were there fot the taking and we looking better when we went to a back 4. 

[peach0000]

There's some real entitlement in this fan base. We're missing half our team and drew a very tricky away game. We aren't going to win every week and we are going to win less often with the players we have available. 

[adam95581]

West Ham lose and Chelsea/Liverpool draw and it’s not a bad point. Annoying that we are again looking over our shoulder though 

[coolhandfox]

Some muppets on here, patched up side and knackered side, its a good point.

 

People forget we got beat here last year. 

 

Postives, hopefully no more injuires, minutes under Fofana belt and a PL debut for Sidnei Tavares

Hate playing this lot away as much as Wolves. Always a tough game with the contrasting styles. Ref seem to give them everything for very little and we got nothing back. 
 

Pleased we didn’t get any injuries this game, now we can move on to Brighton. A win this weekend makes a point tonight worth it.

The end of last season. Remember? 

[Hales]

A point is ok, probably the toughest on paper of the 3. Little Wes back next game to stabilise the defence and put Ndidi back in his proper position. We will be ok. Perez training. Madders and Praet training next week. Pick up points in every game and get to the break and they must then come back firing afterwards. We will be ok!

[HighPeakFox]

I'll take the point, I fully expected a defeat - even more so when we let one in like that. People going on about bottle and cojones - find a new script, yours is cliched, tired and probably entirely inaccurate.

[ARTY_FOX]

I thought we played pretty well all things considered... thought we could have knicked it at the end. 

[NewburyFox]

Dunno why so many are so negative. We competed well with loads of players out and it's a decent point. What were you expecting?
