Long for Cork

[Bosscat]

I've read some utter w@nk on here over the years but this for me just about caps it. 4 more wins sees us safe, we've just come off 2 wins and a draw from our last 3 games, but I'd imagine this poster would think 3 draws would have been preferable.

Compare our points tally now to what we had this time last season! They must have been at the point of ending it all back then

We got d1cked 5-1 last season at Everton and went on to go from 12 points on Boxing Day to 40 points by May....

Yesterday we got beat 1-0 by Everton and are on 24 points.... 5 wins and a draw from our last 19 games sees us on 40 points.

Whats up with people on here, we are Burnley not effing Utd or Spuds or Pool, we cannot play fancy dan tippy tappy tikka takka football ... we are what we are ....

WELLERNUT is spot on there are some on here who must have been ready to end it all this time ladt season....

To read the hysterical dogsh1t on here ,you’d think we’d started the game with Long ffs

4 wins would take us to 36pts that could be safe I don't think it will be, 5 maybe for 39, your way of thinking villa only need 6 if you asked them that they'd wouldn't be thinking 36pts we'll be ok.

[SalisburyClaret]

To be fair to Long he didn’t look any more out of place then the rest of them

No team has ever been relegated from the Premier League having won 11 games in the season

[Top Claret]

Todays Jack Cork is a far better player than the Jack Cork who played for us on loan all those years ago.

Totally understood Dyche throwing Long on it was kitchen sink time, unfortunately he didn't get anything to feed off.

Can't believe the isteria on here. 24 pts with 19 left, averaging 1.3 a game should take us to the mid 40s, jobs sorted

We are lower down and on less points than Blackpool were when they went down!

See my above post. No team has been relegated from the Premier League after they accrued 11 wins in a season. We have 7 currently.
Yes the football has been poor fayre for a few weeks now, but 2 wins from the last 3 games sees us in a relatively healthy position at this stage of the season

I dont disagree we are in a decent position.

But Blackpool had 8 wins before New Year thats my point. They won just 2 more.

Strange one.
Was it because the manager thought an extra header in the box would do it or, not Drinkeater at any price?

Why would he bring on Drinkwater for Cork? That would change nothing. He brought someone on to try and win a header or two. It didn't work but it was the only option available to him.

[ClaretTony]

Vydra must be thinking, get me out of here.

I would very much doubt it. Vydra wasn't even there. He's been given a few days off because he's just become a father.

He brought Barnes on for Wood
JBG for Brady

What did that change?

Well if you can't see the difference between the first two changes and the last then I think you'd be better off not commenting. Might stop you looking completely stupid.

I think that Everton have got one of the worst records defending corners in the PL, and we didn't look like scoring in open play. It was a bit desperate bringing Long on, but I could see the logic of it. Problem was that we weren't winning any corners, (except of course for the one at the end of the first half that we were in no hurry to take).

[TVC15]

I said at the time that we had little options with our 3rd sub as bringing on Drinkwater would not achieve anything at that point in the game.
I did say that Lowton for Bardsley might improve the quality of ball into the box and that is something Dyche has done before in using his subs when we needed to score.

I also said we could have had an attacking u23 on the bench as an option as I don’t think we need 3 defenders and a defensive midfielder in the bench.

I doubt we ever take corners any quicker than the one we tried to take just before half time. But the whole idea of bringing Long on surely for those last few minutes was the hope he might win a header or two up the pitch either from a set piece or a ball up from defence.

On the subject of the subs, I'm not sure at what point Vydra left although I don't think he made it to Goodison at any time.

Had we been 1-0 down at the end of the 95th minute (5 minutes of added time), wouldn't you have expected us to show a little more urgency?
I don't see much difference tbh. It was a good chance to steal something immediately before HT.

And there lies the problem we have no creativity

It was 88 minutes and we were behind - bloody hell, Everton had been playing long ball for much of the second half.

But it wasn't right at the end of the game and we weren't desperate to get a goal as we would have been had we got a corner at the end.

How rude and unnecesary.

How rude and unnecesary.

Then stop being rude and unnecessary.

[Greeny]

CT, I think you are drinking the same stuff as Sean when it comes to substitutes. His changes are always like for like with no changes to formation.

Nobody can defend leaving Drinkwater on the bench against Everton when we are crying out for some creativity + bringing on that well known ball player, Mr K Long.

Absolutely bonkers. I hope Sean bucks his ideas up tonight.

[FCBurnley]

Possibly one of the most stupid threads on here ever!!!

Drinkwater is a waste of space, Sean only puts him on the bench in an attempt to justify signing him.

As the old saying goes - there's always a first time for everything, records & stats are there to broken & changed, I'd rather not count the chickens till they've hatched.

Ahem

[cricketfieldclarets]

Couple of like for like changes again.

Come on burnley.

[kentonclaret]

Weren't stats being quoted before the match started that Turf Moor was a graveyard for Villa who hadn't registered a win here in donkey's years?

Stats mean nowt.

I am sure Barnes is carrying an injury that needs sorting out but will the Burnley board sanction reinforcements?

[BurnleyFC]

One substitution left.

Saving Longy for the 85th minute in this game.
