Burnley (A) Match Thread

[Guest Electric Yetis]

Been all over them. Pope two very good saves.

[mozartfox]

Can I give a early shout out for Cags..

[Beechey]

Think we’ve been decent in possession with keeping the ball, just lacking a little something up front

Daka has been terrible for weeks, getting run into the ground

He’s not suited to this role I don’t think. He needs support as he isn’t going to hold the ball up. 

[KingsX]

One-sided half.  Get Vardy and Maddison on and make these attacks count.

Was that a Cags mistake by any chance??

They say his head has been turned.

 

More to it than that I reckon.

We need to pump more aimless long balls up to Daka 

[coolhandfox]

Could easily be 2 up.

 

Just know they will score with their first shot on target. 

[Tom12345]

Not bad but we lack a bit of cutting edge going forward. We rely too much on Barnes but if he had been less selfish on a few occasions he could have set up Daka.

Suffers with mental health problems doesn’t he. Good that Dyche has shown belief in him tbf

Cheers for making me feel like a dick Col

Can't really complain.  Causing Burnley a lot of issues and Pope had no right to save 2 of them efforts. 

[RowlattsFox]

Not for the first time Pope keeps Burnley in the game against us. 

 

Much better, without being at our best. Keep the ball on the ground and we are better than them. It feels inevitable that they are going to get a goal out of nowhere though. 

 

Better from Ndidi so far. Can we keep it up?

For what? In the last few minutes he missed an interception and header that led to half chances for them! 

[Tom12345]

Refs have been shit.

[filbertway]

I dont know what was worse there. Soy watching the ball go over his head or Cornet standing offside without a clue in the world

To be fair Pope has pulled off a 2 great saves. 

[Philkeavo]

Pope has been magnificent should be leading here. Is that a portent for the second half

We've been much the better side. 

 

If not for Pope, we're cruising. 

 

Game there for the taking. We're pressing quite well and passing isn't too bad. How Pope made some of those saves was ridiculous. 

 

I find myself much calmer watching a stream but not being on here

 

[Jonezy]

Flippin Pope is having his yearly blinder against us...

 

We are getting shithoused aren't we? I do see the fight and hunger in there, so there is still hope despite Caglar being his usual bombscare.

Bizarre. Totally isolated. Surely work a partner into the XI. Renders him useless otherwise

Defensively far more adept today. I guess our big lads are finding it better marking Weghorst than a nippy striker 

Dont hold ya breath ffs.

[baldeagle]

I hate Burnley their anti football makes my eyes bleed all they’ve done is drag down to a Sunday league scrap 

[eastendfox]

Never easy against a long ball side but we competed well and two maybe three great saves stop us being in the lead. Still just lack the edge you feel, but we're a lot closer than we've been and have subs to bring on.

Rotated by 180 degrees and stuck, most likely…

[smr]

This game is crying out for Maddison and Vardy. Hopefully they come on sooner rather than later in the second half.
