As pathetic as it was NOT to highlight McNeil`s wing play, I don`t think it`s an anti-Burnley thing.

The whole team have been poor today. Pieters will get blamed for the goal and all the usual suspects will hail Taylor as the new Maldini. However, we have to score with the best cross of the game and unfortunately Wood missed it. Both strikers are having a stinker... A beauty of a cross from Pieter...
