Burnley (A) Post-Match Thread

I thought we went 3 at the back with THB on the right, Laporte central, and Ake left, though it's not always easy to tell when the other team don't venture into your half.

I think it was still a 4, it was just that THB didn’t venture forwards at all as he probably hasn’t played there much.
 
I read on the bbc match stats that Burnley only commited three fouls to our twelve,just three fckin fouls!!!! and Dyche is calling the ref rubbish. I would really like to see all teams foul stats throughout the season, I would bet that most teams lowest fouls commited stats are versus us. Dont try to tell me that after a 50/50 challenge that the ref isnt thinking about how much the two players involved have cost, and awards free kick accordingly, the medias tentacles reaching the psyche of the officials right there.

As I said very hard to tell if the other team are playing an 8-1-1 formation, there was certainly a period when it looked a 3, with Mahrez and Mendy in what looked like wing back positions on the half way line, Mahrez even ventured into our half briefly at one point.

Burnley had a collapse on being touched policy tonight. The ref fell for it.

There was a tussle between Tarkowski and Sterling near the end where he was basically hugging Sterling and he didn’t get a free kick as he didn’t fall over.

Torres came out of a couple of tackles that were obvious free kicks, but weren’t given as he didn’t fall over.
 
No idea why we started such a strong team tbh, it's a mickey mouse cup and we don't need to be winning it this year.
Why not?

There are only four trophies that we can win, and the League Cup is one of them.

For 35 years, our victory in 1976 was all we old fuckers had to cling onto, though Dennis Tueart's overhead effort was a bit special.

And if we win it this season, we will equal Littlewoods' record of four in a row and their total number of League Cup successes.

I hate this arrogance among certain City fans that somehow the League Cup is below us, and we should just give up on it. It makes them sound like Klippety.
