Burnley - Post Match Thread

[LittleEgg]

Got the points which is what matters, however another largely poor display against a bunch of shitters really.

Surely a real concern is the square, robotic, predictable pattern of passing and moving(or not) resulting in largely easy defending for the opposition. Not too much created again. On a positive note, I really like how sane tries to make smart off the ball runs...i reckon pep should start the lad much more.

My only disappointment today was sterling, seems to have regressed to his indecisive self after a great start to the season. Sometimes you can pull the trigger lad, and sometimes it will go in.

Like to see Sane get some game time now to give Raheem some competition, thought he looked bright when he came on.

Not one of our 3 right wingers is making himself automatic selection atm. Sane is new to the country and the league so needs some slack but all of them really need to start contributing a lot more. Sterling had a poor game today - decision making and execution both lacking - but let's hope his injury is not serious.

Good hard fought gritty win.

Ottomendi really frustates me, sometimes looks a really good defender and brings the ball out well but then there is the rash, diving in and needless fouls he gives. Pep needs to another word and tell him to cut this out of his game.

We need another CB in the window if possible with Vinnie out.

Pleased for Serge who was excellent today

Need to play better next week.

Great that Sergio is back amongst the goals.

We need it.

Sterling is physically & mentally tired same as the others but I think on the whole he's been fantastic this season & one of the best in Europe in his position.

I was agreeing with your opinion after one wea[ponsaid Wow.

Oh im a weapon am i? The guy said he was an expensive aaron lennon and had seen nothing oherwise, what a NOB

 

[vmsuhail]

And do you think he would prefer not to start any of them or do you think that perhaps there could be another reason ?

Probably he wanted some steel in midfield and give rest to KDB/Silva, but dropping all 3 is a big risk nonetheless.

Clichy was terrible though

Used to rely on his pace to get himself out of trouble. Now that appears to have gone he's a weak link. Move him on next summer.

BTs coverage is a disgrace

Last season I could see us losing a match like that. Well pleased with the result.

The game wasn't a classic but this is how league championships are won - and you get no style points. On a freezing cold day, away at a bunch of cloggers, we won.

3 points are all that matters.
