We haven't played THAT badly since...

[RalphCoatesComb]

The last time we played that badly.

Not much you can say about that second half performance. Let's hope it isn't the "Europa" effect.

[clitheroeclaret2]

Take out the 1st 3 mins (plus Lowts intercepted pass) of either half, thought we played well overall. Cant concede 3 goals so sloppily in any division let alone the prem

Slow starts to each half, not concentrating?

[Wile E Coyote]

second half particularly, totally devoid of ideas, half asleep it appeared when it mattered, no guile, no quality, sluggish, and utterly inept.

[taio]

We were woeful in the second half.

played well for the final 46 minutes of the game? Really? did we even have a shot at goal apart from the Vokes header?

[CoolClaret]

Preston Nob End at home when we lost 2-0...

Mind you, we then went on a 23 unbeaten streak so who knows...

[KefkaClaret]

4-0 at West Brom I reckon.

[ElectroClaret]

Not too much wrong with the first half, but the second was awful, no threat or penetration at all.

[Rileybobs]

Second half as bad as I’ve seen for some time. Understandably shell shocked by the 2 goals but we didn’t compete for the rest of the half and I saw a lack of application and fight which is very rare for this side. Hopefully a one off.

[Grumps]

Rubbish second half, poor defending then unable to put any pressure on Watford, all those wanting to lose this game and win on Thurs will be in dreamland now...

Correct and we were bullied today. Bad day at the office.

Can you quote anyone wanting to lose today?

[dougcollins]

Since the first home game of last season?

[Grumps]

Can you quote anyone wanting to lose today?

There's a full thread on it!!!!!!!!

[Grumps]

Just checked and loads saying win Thursday lose today, the clues in the title of the thread if you've not read it Bordeauxclaret

[Bordeauxclaret]

There’s nobody saying they wanted to lose today though. That’s just ridiculous.

What a wally

[agreenwood]

We did quite well first half, but the second half was up there with the very worst under Dyche.

[KRBFC]

Do you really believe that?

[kentonclaret]

If Manyoo lose at Brighton the media will be concentrating on the woes of Mourinho much to the relief of Dyche.

Dyche's position hanging by a thread after that result.

I thought we were terrible couldnt get hold of the ball again and didn't look like scoring , sloppy all over the pitch and lethargic.

[Granny WeatherWax]

Awful second half. It happens. We will learn from it.

Don’t get too disheartend when we lose or too carried away when we win.

On to the next one which if you haven’t noticed is in Athens. Who’d have believed it eh. What a time to be alive.

[Claretforever]

They wanted it more than us, and they bullied us all over the park. It was a reversal of the game in which we bullied them the other season, and Deeney was honest on camera afterwards. He’ll have been part of geeing them up today.

Probably West Brom 4-0 though.

[BennyD]

Nobody so far has mentioned that Watford beat Brighton last weekend and now Brighton are thrashing Man U. Perhaps Watford are having a similar start to this season that we had last season. I have no doubts that there will be other bad days at the office for us this season.

[Grumps]

There’s nobody saying they wanted to lose today though. That’s just ridiculous.

Have you actually read the thread

[Bordeauxclaret]

Yes. I don’t think you’ve understood it. It was a hypothetical question.
Just explain to me why any Burnley fan would want us to lose today.

[Hibsclaret]

There were a number of games last season where we played worse than today.

[gandhisflipflop]

What was worrying for me is the way we were carved open which hasnt happened in a long long time. I cant actually remember the last time we were carved open so easilly by a side outside the top 6.

[Grumps]

Yes. I don’t think you’ve understood it. It was a hypothetical question.
Just explain to me why any Burnley fan would want us to lose today.

Option A on the thread was win Thursday lose today and lots said option A, one particular poster said It 100 times, others went into great detail why they would be happy with that option, so dress it up any way you want they were happy for burnley to lose... You ask me why any fan would want us to lose, I'm sorry but I wouldn't know why perhaps you should ask them

[Bordeauxclaret]

So you genuinely think most people on that thread approached this game wanting us to get beat?

[Selby Claret]

The only person today to really come away with any credit - tin hat on - was Hendrick.

[Grumps]

So you genuinely think most people on that thread approached this game wanting us to get beat?

Ask them, not me... It's the option they chose before the game...

[taio]

Jesus Christ - it was an hypothetical question. Some people said they'd rather win on Thursday than today. That's all. It obviously doesn't mean they wanted or were happy for us to get beat ffs.

[Rowls]

Arsenal away springs to mind but we have to be careful to nip this kind of performance in the bud.

It's all OK being more expansive but Dyche will be aware of the shortcomings and he'll act upon them.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I’m asking you because that’s what you seem to be saying.

Agree re Arsenal. That was way worse than today in that we didn’t turn up. Nothing like today where we played very well first half

[Caernarfon_Claret]

I think if it was a question asking if your wife had complications in labour and you had the choice to save unborn child or mother - would the ones who said option A really want their wives to die?

[fidelcastro]

A very fitting and relevant comparison.

[Caernarfon_Claret]

A very fitting and relevant comparison.

Only to show how hypothetical - Neither option is good questions work.

I was using a really bad situation but at least I didn't mention Hitler.

I'm not sure even he would've written that.

It wouldn't have appealed to his fan base.

Edit - Thanks for not saying would of.

A few of them on here 'n' all.

Chocolate fireguard... I mean BlueLabrador?

One of several, sadly.

[Tread Warily]

We were woeful in the second half.

We're playing two matches every five days,the sooner we're out of the Mickey Mouse Europa cup the Better.

[Quickenthetempo]

We're playing two matches every five days,the sooner we're out of the Mickey Mouse Europa cup the Better.

6 games into the season and we haven't won in 90 minutes yet.

If I were Dyche I would be praying for the Europa league to kick our season off with a win.

[Grumps]

I’m asking you because that’s what you seem to be saying.

Oh I see.. New messageboard etiquette... Someone else says something then I have to explain it..

[exilecanada]

The game was on our telly, we were acceptable in first half, second half we were nothing but abysmal. The names on the shirts were the same, but the energy had gone. Our defence was at sixes and sevens as though they’d never played together before……..pitiful performance. As for offence……..non-existent. Oh, Hart spilled one and lucky to escape with no damage.

Bottom line is we need to get this Europa League nonsense out of our system asap, and focus on what’s important to BFC……survival!
