How does this sit with him being one of our laziest players? He is one of the highest tackling players in the Premier League this season... (Maybe that is the problem, he is spending far too much time deep?)

So many people complaining about the age and ability of our squad, whilst simultaneously shouting for one of our youngest and brightest talents to be sold and shipped out. Bonkers.

It is odd that when we bring players up top like Vydra, Cornet or even Lennon, we still persist going long, those players are not going to win the aerial battles against the CB of almost any Prem team, but we never seem to adapt it to suit the personnel on the field.

Tarks is our best defender, without a doubt. He made a mistake yesterday, but he is normally so consistently good defensively (his passing aside). I would prefer he stayed with us, but it's looking increasingly unlikely. He has done a superb job for us over the years and will leave some big boots to...

Hennessy- 6 - Those kicks are superb, but it was worrying how much we quickly started to rely on them. Should have done better with the first goal after his initial save he was too slow to react. Lowton- 6 - Did his job today, although caught too far up the pitch on a couple of counter attacks. Tark...

The Boxing Day drubbing by Everton is the one I remember, a turning point that season, we were superb in the New Year. That said, it just doesn't feel like that is coming this time. I hope he tries to change things up to freshen things up and to stop being so damned loyal to the players who just are...

burnleymik

The thing that I am confused with is Wood's replacement, despite us going long to chase the game. He won a decent number of headers all game but Lennon didn't get on any flick ons. Cornet got on the end of a few 2nd half and we looked for dangerous for it, but Wood was then hooked. I thought simila...

Jesus wept.

burnleymik

Dyche to see out the season. It's almost inevitable we are going down as it stands, so it's time to change things up when it's needed, rather than keep trying the same thing that isn't working over and over and over. Tinker with the formation, give players a run out who haven't really had much of a ...

Whilst we are at it, what are those short corners about? tried it twice in the last two gams and both times been a tragic failure. Our biggest strength is our dead ball situations and we start trying crap like that with Mcneil and Westwood!

burnleymik

Ironically Cork was better than Westwood today. Westwood hasn't been good for a while now, his short passing is dreadful and he isn't breaking up play like he once did.

burnleymik

That's 3-1. Wow. We are awful.

burnleymik

Westwood has been so sloppy again. What a shame, we were just starting to get into it.

burnleymik

What a poor goal to concede.

burnleymik

What a man. Wow.

burnleymik

Not winning any second balls. Getting caught in possession too often. We need half time and something drastic to change. Half time.

burnleymik

What is going on here. Ffs. We could be four or five down here. This is shocking stuff.

burnleymik

Oh tarky. Ffs

burnleymik

We need this one lads. Comenonnnn

burnleymik

I always have sympathy with our strikers with the sheer lack of creativity in our side. They are left to feed on scraps or create their own chances. Midfield is the biggest problem. Give Chris Wood the service and yes he will miss a few but i've no doubt he will score goals. He's proven it season o...

Footballers need confidence.

He'll get one, then a brace, then he's off.

Could have had two last night... all down to confidence.

Undroppable? Hell yeah !!!

He scored a cracker against Brentford and was hoping that would kick-start him, but it didn't seem to happen.

Average 15 goals for 4 seasons in the top flight. He will equal or better this.

Doesn't look that way at the moment with 3 in 16, but I hope you are correct.

burnleymik

His kicking was exceptional, watched him in the warm-ups too. Pinpoint nearly every single time over 3/4 of the pitch length.

Not sure, but nobody in their right mind would drop him against Leeds.

Maybe, but when was his last good game?

burnleymik

He really is struggling at the moment and offering so little to us as a team in almost any capacity. I know there is a lot going on with Covid and injuries, but no matter how poor his form is he starts every game. It's been a while since he looked like the Chris Wood of old and last night there was ...

burnleymik

He was hit and miss, he did look far more composed on the ball that Westy or Cork did all game, but what we have seen of him previously still leaves very large doubts about him.

burnleymik

I don't buy the Dwight's lazy card as he showed when chasing back as the last man later in the game and wonder if he's not as fit as he should be. He did very well with that indeed. Also, I don't believe he is lazy either, I genuinely believe it's just his demeanour, he is slouchy and looks letharg...

Very loud, too many booing the knee and singing “you let your country down”.

Have to be honest, being there, heard a few boos, nothing major, but didn't hear the singing of that?

burnleymik

Lennon is our best player so far.

burnleymik

Taylor off the boil tonight

burnleymik

Stephens... Given up?

burnleymik

We did okay going forwards, but unusually we looked shaky at the back. Good job Ronaldo and United missed a few good chances.

burnleymik

Wowoww lennon get in.

burnleymik

This is embarrassing now. That's 3.

burnleymik

Ffs. They look like scoring everytime they go forward.

burnleymik

Sigh.

burnleymik

What is our formation here?

burnleymik

Surely we aren't playing 4-4-2 with that line up. No way Lennon starts ahead of Vyds.

Wood is going to have to work hard tonight is that's correct.

Praying its not wood and Barnes!

burnleymik

Mcneil has definitely grown in a defensive capacity. He does a lot more on that side of the game now than previous seasons, but the side effect of that is that we have lost his creative magic. That determination to run at defences and swing in those cross from impossible angles has all but gone. Ins...

burnleymik

Absolutely agree, it was a good point, but apart from that last 5 minutes and like many games this season it rarely feels like we have given it a go to win the game.

Our defence and keeper are back to their best, but we are looking toothless, especially without Cornet.
