Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

[SWP's back]

we finished 14th scoring 9 goals at home.

Which was shite and none of us enjoyed it.

Which is the point.

if pogba or kane had done that backheel, you would never hear the last of it, it would be goal of the season, gundogan is and will be some player with more game time

so they didnt go 3-0 up against chelsea away from home?

Scoring 16% of their total for the season.

In 1/22nd of it. (4.5%).

I ignore it mostly but today was bad, really fucking bad.

Last weeks against Watford was pleasant.

No you are just chatting shite

Wigan scored less than 1 per game and finished 11th a few years back, Fulham finished 7th with a similar ratio. Any more examples?

All well known good footballing sides that had viewers thrilled.

not really

Having watched quite a bit of Burnley this season they play much better football than Pearce ever did. And there in 7th place.

At the time I thought bringing KDB on was a strange substitution but psychologically it completely broke Burnley. At 3-1 down they were still very much in the game, had we brought on a couple of kids it could have given them even more belief. As it was, they looked across and our team was actually getting stronger and it completely killed them.

Yes and I think Guardiola did that in part to say "f*** you, this is what we can do" to Dyche because of his antics earlier, which is not like Pep really - compare his friendly chat with Hodgson in the dugout at Selhurst last week.

sadly not all sides can pay 50 million for players

Also I quite enjoyed watching Martinez Wigan side

Did I say that?

You said

'This league has always had one absolute fundamental rule for teams to survive.
That is scoring goals.'

Scoring tons of goals isn't critical for clubs to survive in this league, with solid defence you can easily finish in top half while barely scoring a goal per game.

Can't be arsed with you anymore. Your completely missing the point.

They’re* in 7th place but still play shite football.
