Burnley (A) Post Match Thread

Great reaction second half. Gabby coming on made a big difference. Clear penalty denied (as expected). Saw the game out well. Still in our hands.
 
Would have been delighted with that score beforehand but boy we mad hard work of that. Having to get every defender on to hold Burnley off in the last 5 minutes was a bit of a shock but did the job. Need to up our game hugely to bring home the last 2 games.
 
Only criticism, why oh why GJ do you run offside when you can take the ball and run to the corner flag? Led to the unnecessary freekick for Burnley as well.

Apart from that very good, much better than Sane’s rest of the game
 
Excellent result and great performance for the first part of the 2nd half. Certainly a deserved win with a clear penalty not being given and many chances going begging again.

However, we were ripping them to pieces at the start of the 2nd half but just stopped after the goal and played at walking pace. Numerous chances to go at them and force them back but we just slowed it right down and allowed them to get back into shape, If we had kept at them, we could have added to our goal difference, given us a bit of breathing space as well as making it less nervy fo us fans!! Stopping like that when only one up is very risky and only takes a mistakes or lucky deflection to undo all that good work.

3 points though and that's what really matters.
