MIGHTY CLARETS versus Bournemouth

[fatboy47]

Let's not blame Long for the fact that Dyche can't give a sh1t about the FA cup.

[jedi_master]

He wasn't offside. It was passed backwards.

I’d have said (at best) in line. Very, very close.

[Firthy]

Had to turn the commentary off, her voice is so bloody annoying (not sure who it is)

Not just her boring monotone voice but the fact that all she does is state the obvious.

[wilks_bfc]

Not offside as although the score was in front of defence the pass was behind the ball being passed

[Firthy]

[jrgbfc]

If nothing else this game really shows that SD couldn't care less about the FA cup.

Think thats been clear for a while tbh.

[box_of_frogs]

Miles onside when final ball is played.

[SouthamptonClaret]

Thought it was offside but clearly behind the ball on replay

[Blyclaret]

This is not acceptable.

[Gordaleman]

Seem to recall people saying that when we went behind against MKD.

[superdimitri]

he was off from the initial pass forwards and it wasn't passed backwards either... shocking that

Who was off? The crosser or the goal scorer? It showed the replay and goalscorer was offside when the pass to the crosser but it doesn't mean a thing because he wasn't in play. Then the cross was made backwards to the scorer which also wasn't offside.

[Wellsy1882]

Literally giving us the ball and we do fuckall with it

[jedi_master]

Hands held up! Clearly onside from the angle just shown.

[Somethingfishy]

Dreadful so far. Pumping it long..losing every header and every second ball. Stephens and Benson getting outmuscled and overrun. Add to that we look a shambles at the back everytime they come forward. Dyche has tweaked it too much imo.

[Zlatan]

wrong

whatever - I need to see it again before I decide. From the initial watch in real time he looked off, and from the replay too

[bfcmik]

25 mins:
JRod ****
Stephens ****
Long ****
Dunne ****
Glennon ****
Benson ****
Gudmundsson ****
Mc Niel OK
Vydra OK
BBF - Jury's out
Bardsley OK

[Blyclaret]

Absolutely atrocious.

[box_of_frogs]

Glennon needs to start sparking. Having a shocker.

[joey13]

Certainly not blaming the Americans but it’s very poor. Assuming we win, we could have been booted from the cup if it wasn’t for an astute person at BT!

Yes very poor

[MDWat]

These two centre halves are absolutely miles short of the required standard and this against Championship opposition.

[jojomk1]

Glennon has no idea where Brooks is

[NickBFC]

Been poor, goal was very disappointing. Couple are struggling out there.

[Zlatan]

Hands held up! Clearly onside from the angle just shown.

but not the initial ball forward, but they wont show that

[jedi_master]

This is a stark reminder of how bad we were the first few weeks of this season. Long and Dunne should never have been the pairing in this game, one of them with Mee or Tarkowski but not both. It’s a League One pairing.

[Blyclaret]

Dyche is obviously treating this as a training session

[Firthy]

Burnley are more like a Rugby Union team at present, keep lofting high balls over the top.

[clansman]

Yep they look the better team and targeting right areas

[buzzclarets79]

Bournemouth:- Pass and move, pass forward, movement off the ball, options.
Burnley:- hoof.

[jojomk1]

Corner
Now for Mee
****, where is he

[claretcarrot93]

These two centre halves are absolutely miles short of the required standard and this against Championship opposition.

Madness that people are okay with them as 3rd and 4th choice

[Vegas Claret]

^^^^^^^^^this and that's down to Long, he should be organizing

[box_of_frogs]

Yeah, worked well for England last weekend too!

[superdimitri]

but not the initial ball forward, but they wont show that

They did show it on my feed (ESPN+) and he wasn't offside.

[joey13]

Glennon needs to start sparking. Having a shocker.

Didn’t know he was playing until half an hour before kick off , absolute joke

[box_of_frogs]

Whhooooooooooosh

[jojomk1]

This is a stark reminder of how bad we were the first few weeks of this season. Long and Dunne should never have been the pairing in this game, one of them with Mee or Tarkowski but not both. It’s a League One pairing.

Looking forward to another 2 years of Long

[jedi_master]

Bar McNeil the midfield is offering nothing either. It’s going to be a long night for Vydra and Jay.

[LordBob]

Barrow v Exeter called off 30 mins before kick off after travelling up from Devon, now that is a good reason to be p***ed off.

[IanMcL]

Who is the grating woman. So irritating.

[box_of_frogs]

Didn’t know he was playing until half an hour before kick off , absolute joke

And there was me thinking he was a professional and not playing for the Fox & Hounds 1st XI.

[Boss Hogg]

This team is far too weak. Behind the first eleven we aren’t good enough.

[superdimitri]

It's no surprise we're playing like this, there's no partnerships at all in our team. No one knows where the next man is. Even McNeil isn't finding our men.

[djemba-djemba]

The opening half hour has been absolute dog dirt.

[Firthy]

With our CB's and midfield we have nothing in the middle.

[DCWat]

This is a stark reminder of how bad we were the first few weeks of this season. Long and Dunne should never have been the pairing in this game, one of them with Mee or Tarkowski but not both. It’s a League One pairing.

It could be argued, that’s why we are playing them both today. Either needing to come in to cover for an injured Mee or Tarkowski in the Premier League is the stuff of nightmares.

Right call from Dyche, as much as I’d love a cup run, the league is FAR more important and perhaps more than ever, following the takeover.

[Wellsy1882]

Bar McNeil the midfield is offering nothing either. It’s going to be a long night for Vydra and Jay.

Mcneils been crap

[ClaretMov]

Poor team selection poor tactics, what a **** take Is Mr Dyche when it comes to cup competitions

[joey13]

And there was me thinking he was a professional and not playing for the Fox & Hounds 1st XI.

Fox & Hounds wouldn’t have made such a mistake

[Vegas Claret]

just a reminder, Bournemouth's CM (Billing and Lerma) cost a combined 40 million in transfer fees + whatever they paid for Pearson, our entire midfield 2.5 !

[NickBFC]

This team is far too weak. Behind the first eleven we aren’t good enough.

Agree sadly. God forbid if we lose any of our 'big' players to injury going forward. The depth just isn't there. Not blaming the young lads, but at this stage they shouldn't be near the first team.
