I'd be concerned if I was a Liverpool fan. We all know, in football **** happens, but you don't go from 64 games unbeaten, to losing 6 in a row, and against some average teams, being outplayed by said average teams, unless something is seriously wrong. Being on the outside its hard to tell what is w...

How terrible for his family and friends. To lose someone so young must be truly heartbreaking.
R.I.P Luke, our prayers are with you

Klopp had to try and change something, he's been playing the same team for 2 months with the same result. It didn’t work out, but at least he's finally tried to do something. Their string of youngsters just don't compare to Utd, City, Arsenal or Chelsea. They've had the pants down on so many clubs b...

Truly shocking stuff.
They just aren't a team.
You can tell there's no way back for them, they are that bad.

Fulham deserve it, even though it doesn't suit us, but I think others have far more to fear than us.

Klopp playing a weakened team against Fulham

Do they have a strong team. The lack of character without Henderson and VVD is amazing

Colburn_Claret

I wonder if they realise that they just add to the pleasure of being a Claret.
Every insult is greeted with a big grin or a belly laugh. The more they moan, the greater the joy. Keep it up lads.

Pope 6 Lowton 7 Tarkowski 7 Mee 8* Taylor 7 JBG 6 Brownhill 6 Westwood 6 McNeil 6 Vydra 8 Wood 6 Pieters 7 Brady 5 Most of the team you could take a point off for the first half, and add a point for the second half.

I don't think clubs getting relegated, are desperate to balance the books as they once were. Common sense finally taking hold. But it means there won't be any bargains to be had, and unless the player himself pushes for the move, they aren't likely to happen. We do need a replacement for Tarks, I do...

Colburn_Claret

Sean looking a bit daft with his comments about us not getting a penalty when Vyds was supposedly tripped. Matej kicked the back of Saka’s leg. Definitely not a penalty. You think it isn't, I don't think it should be, soft as muck, but he stopped Vyds getting the shot away cleanly, and he was nowhe...

That could possibly say more about Arteta than it does about Dyche. Arteta, like Klopp, can only ever see his own team. He never gives anyone any credit, and can never understand how they didn't win. Managers like that have a big problem, because unless you see the problems, how can you fix them. I...

Colburn_Claret

Any result at Goodison is a possibility, because you can never tell which Everton, or which Burnley will turn up.
Hopefully the Everton that played Fulham, and the Burnley that played Leicester.

Colburn_Claret

It isn't poor, just a bit grassless in areas. It's still flat as a pancake, gives an even bounce, and doesn't cut up in a tackle. Captain Black, last season he moans because the grass is too long, this year he moans because the grass is too short. You can't please some people, especially winless Goo...

Colburn_Claret

I laugh when I see that pure shite spouted by opposing “supporters”. We hardly “parked the bus”, that’s the nonsense they resort to when they didn’t actually watch the match and just want to take the **** because they’re mad their pretenders lost. The truth hurts, and the truth is we were far and a...

Colburn_Claret

Always want a win, but more than happy with a very good point.

Still finished with 5 shots on target to their 2, but what might have been if we could cross the bloody ball.
A lot of goal mouth scrambles, but when the lads put their bodies on the line like that, it just makes you proud to be Claret.

Take that back, seen the replay

Unlucky Wood, it came in very quickly so not much time other than to react. Good save from Leno

Colburn_Claret

Good effort Eric

Colburn_Claret

strangely the stats have the match at 4 shots each. Burnley 3 on target to Gooners 1 41% possession while low, isn't for a Burnley team. The mind set is right, just the execution letting us down. We need to Josh to step up second half, but most of all we need to cut out the needless, unforced errors...

Colburn_Claret

We seem to play better second half all season, but we need to be still in this at half time.
Concede another and we are cooked.

Thats better

Same as SApurs, only it was Brownhill that let Son come inside. Our whole defensive strategy is based on forcing players outside. Really poor.

Bench looks a lot stronger, hopefully a sign of things to come.
Another performance like Wednesday, and I'll be happy regardless of the result.
Mind a win would make me even happier.

Colburn---this changes on 1 July which is the close season.

Misunderstood that, thanks.
I was just told at work that they were changing.

Colburn_Claret

The law needed changing, but the timing stinks.
How unfair is that to Fulham, if they get relegated not because they had least points, but because they changed the rules mid season.
The people in charge of this shambles should hang their heads in shame.

Colburn_Claret

We are fortunate to have the quality of Bards and Pieters as cover for full backs.
Good news.

Colburn_Claret

Offside should be judged that level, as seen by the human eye and with normal views as to what means level, is onside. They don't need to draw lines on the pitch for VAR. VAR can look at a still photo and say "is he level". It was specifically stated in guidance to refs thirty years ago that level ...

Klopps post match interviews are getting worse.
He looks like a lost sheep.
He can never understand how they lose.
It's little wonder the players aren't performing for him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn't there next season.

Colburn_Claret

Did anyone on the board know him before he left Burnley

Colburn_Claret

No

It has been very strange, but the crap we have had to bear this last year, would have been even worse without football.
It's been the same for most teams, so as long as the playing field stays level, play on

You ever listen to the waffle on MOTD? If a player from a 'big' team goes down it is, "It was minimal contact but he was justified in going down to win the free kick/penalty." but if it a player from one of the 'lesser' clubs (except Newcastle if Shearer is on) then it is, "Not enough contact for m...

Colburn_Claret

Enjoyed that.
Training on the cinders behind the Longside, I wonder how modern footballers would cope.

Colburn_Claret

Clearly was been told not go forward up until the last month. Which begs the question why dyche didn't trust him going forward? The whole team have been pushing forward better since the Villa game, which we'd all complained about, Lowts is just doing it better than the rest. Our football performanc...

Maybe, although that would still only be 3 wingers. We had Hendrick and Lennon leaving last season, both of whom played that role. The issue would be if we signed a player who didn't play, and/or wasn't good enough for whatever reason. I also struggle to understand why after 4 years in the prem we ...

Colburn_Claret

It's not all that long ago that Bardsley was playing because Lowton was out of form. I wouldn't say there's a great deal between them, although when Lowton is in form, he is the better player. Let's be honest, the madness is that we haven't signed a right midfielder/winger. If we had, and JBG and B...

Colburn_Claret

Brownhill just doesn't work there, even Pieters was better, so Lowton must be worth a shout I think people who support this, fail to see the patently obvious, which is we would be strengthening one position, by making another weaker. Wether Lowts would do a job there is irrelevant imo, because we n...

It was more of a shock when Sean said only City had played the same amount of games over that period, and Leeds had only played 8 or 9 games to our 13. I still think there is a pecking order to the premier league, and a bigger club would have got some of the games rescheduled. He said neither Burnle...

Max Thompson made a lovely JayRodesque dummy to set up Mumbongos first against West Brom. No more round pegs in square holes. We've blooded quite a few youngsters this season for cameo roles, it's time to give one of them the chance to step up for a full game. Dwight only got his place under the sam...

Colburn_Claret

I wouldn't go anywhere near it to be honest.

You pay millions of pounds to promote yourself, and they just give it to the country with the biggest backhanders.
If we haven't learnt anything from the last 2 attempts we've got our heads stuck up our arse.

Big story on Sky Sports News, that Kevin is suffering kidney failure. One kidney doesn't work, the other down to 10%, so his game is on hold whilst he waits for a transplant. First came to light when getting his medical at Burnley. It something he's coped with throughout his career, but now got to t...

It isn't his position, the same as it isn't Pieters, but he's asked to do a job by Dyche because he doesn't think we have any one else. It's wrong to knock him for something out of his control. In days of yore, you'd just go to the reserves and pick a rt winger. I'd like to think we could do the sam...

Colburn_Claret

It wasn't a good time to play Fulham, West Brom or Spurs if you understood football at all. This is a good time to play Leicester, but it guarantees nothing. Unless we are at the top of our game we'll get little. We showed today that we are OK. We can defend a lot better, and with Wood back, carry m...

Colburn_Claret

Despite the scoreline, which imo was always going to happen, Spurs were just due a game where it all came off, we kept going created chances and carried on attempting to play as we did against Villa and Brighton. That's very important going forward. So we were second best, so what. It's still been a...

Colburn_Claret

Shocking
A great goal from them, but far too easy.
No pressure on Son, no one taking responsibility at the back.

I just felt all week Spurs were due one of those games

Colburn_Claret

You have to be happy at that.
Fulham by far the better team, but that just highlights how poor Palace are.
I thought Fulham were bang average, much like against us.

Colburn_Claret

This is starting to look like a matter of time.
Do you think they would have put the effort in, IF they hadn't got that flukey result at Brighton, or is it that their best just isn't good enough.

God help them if they ever sell Zaha.

Colburn_Claret

Team almost picks itself, I hope Jay is better for the week off, he hasn't looked anything like himself lately.
Vyds and Jay need the service mind, so I hope we try and play more forward thinking, when we can, rather than totally retreat to our own half and hand them the initiative.
