Burnley - Post match thread

No.

I used the word 'probably' which would indicate to most people, an opinion rather than a certainty.

And how fucking BORING to have to waste several posts explaining it.

Boring? Bang on with that.

Nope, I mean it was a load of rubbish.
Why not just say "Kolarov played well today but I'm still not convinced against top opposition?" To downplay a good performance because of the past performances of the opposition is fishing to find faults IMO.
Gray and Barnes are coming on the back off their best performance of the season so you could easily argue that they were bang in form. Likewise, we struggled to beat Burnley away and their physicality caused us a number of problems. In this game I thought that we nullified their threat despite having a man less.
I understand that Kolarov is public enemy number 1 on here but at least judge him by the same yardstick as the rest of the players.

You judge him how you want, and I'll judge him how I want. I'm judging him based on the fact that Burnley have the worst away record in the division (one point from 30) and believe this might indicate their strikers aren't up to much; unless they've signed a couple of worldies since the window opened.

We are lucky he didn't book Sterling for a dive. I know it wasn't , but he could have. How the f*ck do you trip on the turf for no reason at all, apart from maybe bottle loss, in front of goal.

don't be extremely silly.

I wasn't sure at the game other than it looked a bit reckless but from what I have seen from the footage it's a red as it was reckless and he was not in control. Stupid challenge to make and totally unnecessary. They must know that unless their name is rojo then you can't make challenges like that anymore.

Cheers mate

No it isn't - I criticised him when he played poorly. Today he didn't play poorly.
It's a bit strange to want to criticise someone for a performance they put in today based on previous performances.
As I say I think some people are so entrenched in their views of Kolarov they find it hard to praise him even when it's thoroughly justified.

I'm sure you get the odd one. But like I said he put in a good solid performance today. Nothing more nothing less. Don't see it deserving of any hyperbole. But everyone is different I suppose.

Fantastic spirit shown in the second half and a fabulous win in the circumstances. Big credit to Pep for the changes at half time that changed the game for us. Still really not sure why we are playing with less intensity in the first half of games, much preferred it earlier in the season when we were coming out of the traps, getting games won and then easing off for the last 20 mins of games. I'm starting to think that Bravo's lack of height is going to be an issue in this league.
