Good run from Gray there. I think he's looking good.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:55 pm

Well done Tom. Decent save from Sanchez shot.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:55 pm

Crap pass from Marney. Come on lad.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:55 pm

Just a bit behind Ash then.
Well done Andre though.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:56 pm

Fk Arsenal Sanchez shoots wide.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:57 pm

Bloody hell that was close from Sanchez.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:57 pm

Stupid, stupid mistakes. Giving ball away really cheaply under absolutely no pressure.

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:58 pm

42mins. 3-3 on target.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:59 pm

Coms say "only nearly' moments for Arsenal.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:59 pm

Woah, cross in from Boyd to Gray...can't direct it to goal. Cech injured.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:59 pm

Crap atmosphere - think they are worried.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:59 pm

Ooooh.....
Close by Andre.

Catches keeper.
Hope he's OK..

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:00 pm

WTF...cech lies on ground and kisses the ball...

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:00 pm

Wow, ref gives us something. Amazing.

Good half Burnley working hard

h-t

well done

Im so anxious I might not be out for second half

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:01 pm

As he plays in a scrum cap concussion protocol should come in. Get him off for the doc to check over.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:02 pm

Good work by the lads, we've done well.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:02 pm

Well played Burnley. Tough second half coming up.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:02 pm

HT lads and lasses. That'll do me.

We've done okay. Tested their keeper 2 or 3 times. We must cut out silly errors with passing. We're not going to out-pass them but giving it away under pressure has to stop or we will be punished. Need to be quicker to 2nd balls as well.

Overall a good effot. Nice to see the hard work. 26% possession Bburnley. Arsenal had 14 shots and only 3 on target. Us 5, 3 on target. Our passing accuracy is 62% which suggests long balls and mistakes.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:03 pm

Half time
Here's Madge to keep us warm.

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:03 pm

The Ramsey attitude actually fills me with hope. Half-time, they`re not 2 up, frustration if nowt in the next 10 minutes and who knows!!!!???

Gray taking the knee in the face and walk off a bit too literally with Cech

Given the ref is on their side again were doing really well

3 shots on target for both teams

COME ON BURNLEY!! This is the game we will get our first away points since Old Trafford.

kaptin1 · Post by **kaptin1** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:07 pm

First 10 minutes we pressed hard and did well, disrupting their play and creating a few half chances. We then started to sit deeper giving Arsenal too much more of the ball and when we did win it back, it tended to be hopeful punts upfield. Need to get back to pressing because Arsenal have a mistake in them. Henry has just nailed it, saying we are a bit passive.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:08 pm

You'll all be pleased to know that we're still on target for my prediction of a 3 nil win

Agree about us being a little bit too passive. I saw a few occasions we were afraid to commit for fear of losing our shape. There perhaps needs to be a bit more flexibility than that and trust in the players. Mind you, it's 0-0 so what do I know?

Claret82 · Post by **Claret82** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:10 pm

3 on target but no sky don't need to show them !!!

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:10 pm

Boyd good offensively but strangely `off it` on 2 or 3 occasions with wayward headers/passes in our area. Hard to complain though 0-0 at Arsenal. Can we though, when we get it in the midfield (we HAVE HAD some good positions) play it to Gray`s strengths on the deck? THERE IS HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kaptin1 · Post by **kaptin1** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:13 pm

I guess problem is that Arsenal have the quality to eventually find a way to score if we just sit back. If we are going to do that then Barnes needs to stay further upfield with Gray so that when we do break and launch the ball upfront, it's more likely to stick. Gray has done well, but is a bit isolated so even when he has got hold of the ball there has been no support. Defour also looks a bit lost on the left but with only Kightly on the bench, our options out wide are fairly limited.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:14 pm

Isn't Gudmundsson back now?

clitheroeclaret2 · Post by **clitheroeclaret2** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:14 pm

Agree, on the deck to Andre. Defour, at least, looking to get it to him on the floor.
Playing well overall, only one real chance for them which Sanchez made for himself.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:14 pm

Excellent start.
I'd still like to see Joey on. He's better at finding that forward pass.
Mind I think scoring before the 85th minute could be a mistake.
Ash Barnes to be the hero.

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:15 pm

I randomly think Barton could be a game changer here.

He'd wind Xhaka right up....

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:15 pm

Just placed a bet that we will win 1-0

COME ON SUPER BURNLEY

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:16 pm

2nd half started

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:17 pm

Simple save Tom.
