Burnley (A) Match Thread

Pope's kept them in it really.  Burnley play a combative game and were bettering them really, we're still fragile defensively however

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

agree needs to play in a two to get the best out of him.

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

 

At least Cornet can stay on he feet 

[WigstonWanderer]

Thought we’ve done quite well so far. 3 good saves from Pope keeping it level.

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? 

Better from Ndidi but still a few too many misplaced passes and putting us at risk. I prefer that we get Maddison on for him second half.

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

What about the rest of the half ffs.

[Izzy]

Think we've done ok so far. Open game, still fancy our chances.

[Tuna]

Hard to judge too much when listening on the radio, but we've clearly had the better chances and are unlucky to not be in front, their goalkeeper is having a great game, keep plugging away and hopefully our luck will turn, may need a bit of Vardy magic to get it!

[StanSP]

How did the ref give a foul against Dewsbury-Hall for that aerial 50/50 as well

 

[Dusty]

Lacking a bit Of quality going forward, need more from daka, Tielemans and Ricardo

That Pope is a nuisance

45 minutes and we haven't conceded! 

Can people stop jinxing it! 

[MPH]

Decent first halve and encouraging. All set for a cags mistake to let them in for a 1-0 win.

[leicesterseddon]

This game has been awful. Hate to say it but like watching a Championship game 

[NasPb]

Not even going to lie, at this point i don't Care how we play, we need results and results only. I don't care if we play horribly every minute, what I care about are the points. I see Rodgers and us parting ways in the summer, so that's that. Just keep us up for now at least. 

 

Play this the most ugly way possible, get kelechi on for daka and counterattack. Grind a result out for once. Let's see what happens.

I heard he's a copper

[RowlattsFox]

That chance for Daka is exactly what he's about, on the move in the box expecting something to come his way. He's great in the box with instinct but not easy challenging for the ball against big centre Half's.

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

Absolutely. Reminds me of some tasty battles in the Sunday Alliance League a couple of decades ago. Agricultural challenges and hoofball.

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. 

Wolves all over again ?

think your stream is a bit far behind. It’s half time mate!

Even when burnley started to get in the game, and we went sloppy a bit, we actually stayed tight at the back for once and stopped them from creating anything

Found the Rodgers supporter

Should be ahead and doing well. These officials are horrendous tho. Kavanagh really hasn’t got a clue
