Burnley (A) Post Match Thread

Obviously sterling was wasteful today but I thought Ilky was equally culpable...poor decision making with the final pass on a number of times especially in the first half

On a side note, don't opposition fans realise how pathetic they look celebrating a point like they have just won a cup.....they should be embarrassed.....maybe is pure relief at having not lost but when they sit back na think they have just dropped 2 pts at home ......

They played a very basic style of football..hoofing it into the box whenever they could, time wasting, cynical fouls and yet its talked about as a positive by commentators - this is why England will ne ver win a major tournament until that ideology is changed........long ball is described as a style (which it is) BUT its talked about in a very positive light....again until English football changes its ideology we will win nothing at international level - not that i care at all as I don't follow England in particular.

They will do anything to to try and put us down - its still another point after another game......

We still played well but let ourselves down in the final third - injuries are impacting on us.

Shocking second half.

Walker gifted them a point.

Shit.

fixed

 

[Healdplace]

Apart from he didn't hear it.

Unless he has gone deaf I think he did given as it was a pre game interview with him!

 

[Ban-jani]

Played well overall, woeful in the final third.

Gundogan, sterling and Aguero couldn’t muster a goal between them today if they had all night.

Treated it like a training match got punished.

You could tell at the end of the first half when they were there for the taking yet we played for half time.

Our biggest weakness against sides outside the top 6 is that we look like having it all of our own way and it becomes too easy for us.

We switch off and then bang the opposition scores and we can’t turn it on again. We struggle to do so at the very least.

For people watching streams shutting down the fucking match day thread is quite the spoiler, it really doesn't have to be shut 1 second after the final whistle, some folk are up to 5 minutes behind and those last few minutes are now wrecked.

Cheers btw

You’re right with this, it’s unnecessary. Maybe PM @Ric to see if he’ll allow the thread to stay open for a few more minutes to allow everyone to catch up and read the end of the thread.

Was Exactly my point also. Showed that today and frankly on a few occasions.

The media know they’re not ready they’re just scared of a player of Mahrez’s ability joining us so they scream about playing the kids.

 

[Hesperus]

Comments on Vinny being finished are ridiculous and undeserved. Yes he had a bad game but he’s only just back from a long injury layoff. He’s bound to be rusty, same as a Stones since he’s come back. Cut him the slack he deserves.

Exactly. Its more of a hope for city fans that we have youth good enough but fact is we dont.... and are a long way from it... Foden possibly but also still not ready

 

[bellsouth]

Poor decision making in the box by quite a few today and we invited that pressure at the end by giving the ball away too often
