Burnley (A) Post Match Thread

Henry just hit the nail on the head got complacent because it was too easy. That led to us getting sloppy, giving the ball away and a few silly free kicks allowing them to hoof it into the box. You just sensed they would score. It seems daft criticizing us because on the whole it was damn near perfect. The wrong decision making in the box pass behind, pass delayed or not given when someone else was in a better position. Sterling scores and its game over it looks worse the more you watch it, just took his eye off it, went under his studs and that was that.

We do often go through patches of relaxing and playing as if it were a training match and things get sloppy real quick and we did do that today and only at 1-0 which makes it perplexing, had to keep the foot on their neck until we got the second or game was over.
 
2 points thrown away for overplaying in the final third, shit final ball from our forwards, and sterling running into dead ends ....oh and missing tap ins


Onwards and upwards, gap will be 13 points tonight

no worries...

I really like Diaz .....he is so positive and loves to run at the defender and thats his first thought.....we need that in our team...he is young at present and needs the next two years of being on the bench, getting regular game time through subs appearances and then we could have a very special player on our hands (same with Fodden )

Diaz not good enough, don’t get the fuss.
 
In golfing terms we were good tee to green, but couldn't sink a putt if our lives depended on it.

I'm worried about Kun. He just doesn't seem to be the right fit and he looks like he's lost a yard of pace. Also Vinny has to be number 4 in the pecking order. He seems to unsettle the rest of the defence.

We should have been out of sight. It was just one of those games.
 
Anyone got a comment on today's ref? Should Cork's 2 tugs merit 2 yellows instead of 1 & Longs on Gundogan when already booked?

Finding it hard to correlate some of the comments with the game I watched.

I thought we played very well at a difficult place to go, especially with 7 on the physio’s table.

Should we have won by at least 2 goals? Yes.
Did we lose? No, so some people need some context.

I have to take issue with some of the comments about Sergio. I thought he worked his tail off and he’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t. When he comes short to link up, the ball he lays off is often to a player moving ahead of him, and he has to get forward and into the box. He did that. There were not a lot of decent balls into the box to him. The one everyone is discussing WAS a bad pass, and I think he should have leathered it. I can forgive him that and it certainly wasn’t the difference in the game.

Sterlings miss will be the headline when it should be Ederson’s worldie from Lennon. I doubt you will see a better reflex save from a good shot from 12 yards this season. And, his save from Mee wasn’t a bad one, either.

No-one needs to pillory Sterling on here, he gets it enough from all quarters all the time, even though he is having the best season of his life. Will it haunt him? Yes, until he scores the next one. Should he have been taken off? Yes. He knew he had missed a ridiculous chance, but he’s a moper, which is why Pep gave him a hug last game. His body language after the miss was negative and those two things, the miss and the response, were enough for me. One miss in one game? Forgiven...hug and kiss. However, two games in a row? Gotta give him the heave ho and let him know it’s unacceptable. Now, it’s up to him to get his head down, spend some extra time on the training pitch and work on his finishing.

Also, anyone not giving Gundogan applause after that performance is just not looking. He got into some great positions, but there are a few times he could have taken a pop,with his left, instead of trying to put it on his right.

Worst position we can be in at the end of the weekend is 13 points clear. Oh, the horror.

Get a grip, lads and lasses.

Superb post
 
The horror tackles in earlier games played a part.
No rotation, our players were tired.
Even felt they were expecting a leg breaker while breaking forward with pace.

Some on here Chicago fail to understand that most weeks at least one of Spurs , Liverpool , Manure and Chelsea will drop points.

Look at last round for example.

Again this week the same will happen.

Ok if we don't get the 16 points that most likely will be required to win the title then we don't deserve it but although we know we will stumble from time to time in the run in its likely the others will as well.
 
Totally ruined my weekend, could have been 18 points ahead, but Sterling and Walker cost us 2 points. It will be 13 points in two hours

Those “patches of relaxing and playing as if it were a training match” are the minutes where the players are in recovery, so they can go again, and keep it up for 95 minutes. These lads are human...honest.
