Saints v Burnley - Match Day Thread

[Vintage Claret]

Mistake from Ben but a quality finish from Ings, you just knew that was going to be a goal as soon as he left Ben for dust

[box_of_frogs]

Hmmmmmmmm. Defence has gone AWOL. Can’t expect to score 2 away from home and not be winning.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Whilst in no way having a pop at Charlie we were 0-2 up when Erik went off and were bossing the game.

I think history proves you wrong on that v

[KRBFC]

Vydra is sharp

Have to say, he’s become my first choice LB.

[taio]

Enjoyable half that. Let's start the second half well.

It was 1-2 when Erik came off.

[Andreshotboots]

Guy with 2 new knees just skinned our skipper alive

[Boss Hogg]

Why the hell did Ings have to be fit for this game. He’s going to one of those ex players who scores a lot against us.

[Devils_Advocate]

Enjoyable first half helped by both defences looking a bit shoddy. Could go either way still but I reckon more goals and a 3-3 draw.

[elwaclaret]

Ings knows Ben Mee too well. It should have been pointed out to the defenders nothing fancy when Ings is sniffing. Dyche has a job to do but I still think we will win this, next goal is vital.

[RingoMcCartney]

Great game to watch , end to end.

I'm a Burnley fan, but I'll always be a fan of Danny Ings, he really is quality.

[Dark Cloud]

We look really good going forward and there could well be another goal (or 2 in us) but we're uncharacteristically open at the back and we could easily lose this 5-2. Saints have struggled for a while due to injuries to key players, but with everyone fit today, including the pivotal Ings, they look a very good side offensively. I want to take the draw right now and move on.

[claptrappers_union]

I’d love to have a player like Ings in the Burnley team

Whilst not having a pop at you ,try getting your facts right before posting ,particularly as it only happened a few minutes earlier

[Spijed]

A bit disappointing to squander a two goal lead.

[Tribesmen]

Well said Ringo
Real end to end stuff but i just wish Ings was Irish .

They have a lot going forward but look sloppy at the back.

Not sure how the 2nd half will pan out should we take a draw or go for it ?

[Dodobdobodobo]

It was close to him. You could tell by his sheepish reaction holding his shoulder that he was disappointed in himself with his effort to keep that out.

Sorry DD watching it back it was perhaps poor positioning COYC

[Cirrus_Minor]

Southampton were starting to boss the midfield, mIght need to bring Cork on.

[Quickenthetempo]

Ben Mee isn't quick enough to get in a foot race with anyone in the premier league.

He needs to stick to a central position and keep to basic defending which he is good at.

[Zlatan]

A bit disappointing to squander a two goal lead.

It’s been the exciting football many have asked for. We need to find the balance between opening up to attack and score and keeping the shape to not concede. That said, Ings has been fantastic for them, and when you have that quality in the team you’ll always open up the tightest defences.

It’s enjoyable so far, I’ll be disappointed to lose it though, but I think we’ll be OK and may well just win this

[Andreshotboots]

We will still have chances to score more in this game, Southampton committing big numbers forward, we just need to ensure we are more clinical with the passing on the break.

[Devils_Advocate]

Southampton 2nd goal started with keeper playing it out from the back. Had he just taken the safe option and booted it then they would still be losing. Just highlighting for those who think passing out from the back only costs goals

I actually checked back through this thread so I guess there were some late posters.

He got lucky... throw enough sh!t at the wall and some of it will stick, I struggle to find many positive posts from so many “burnley” fans on here, sometimes it’s tiresome - though I agree they have a fair assessment of Pope on this occasion.

Especially against Ings, who he must know is faster than
him. Why try and be clever!

[joey13]

It was 2-1 when Taylor came on

[scouseclaret]

In better news, that nice Mr Power paid me out at 3s when we were 2-0 up

[claretandy]

Have we ever lost a game from 2-0 in the Premier League ?

[Devils_Advocate]

Have we ever lost a game from 2-0 in the Premier League ?

I doubt it though didnt we go from 2 up to 3-2 down against City before big Kev got us that late equaliser

[box_of_frogs]

Not sure, but there can be 1st for everything

Hopefully not today though!

[claretandy]

Yes.

[Winstonswhite]

Crystal Palace at home we were two up and lost 3-2 I think.

[Quickenthetempo]

Crystal Palace at home

[Culmclaret]

Palace at home?

[MT03ALG]

Ben should have attacked the ball or Ings or preferably both !!

[martin_p]

Crystal Palace at home

Didn’t we do that twice that season.

[MT03ALG]

Equaliser been coming, defencivly we have looked poor

Spelling not looking too good either !!

[djemba-djemba]

That’s good then we’re all agreed it was poor from Pope as I originally stated.

[Clevedon Claret]

COME ON BURNLEY
COME ON BURNLEY.

[Devils_Advocate]

Didn’t we do that twice that season.

Are you thinking of the West Brom game a couple of weeks later that we drew 2-2 from leading 2-0? Those results alongside the Marney injury really changed our season and were pivotal in us going down

[MT03ALG]

Next goal wins the game ??

[martin_p]

Are you thinking of the West Brom game a couple of weeks later that we drew 2-2 from leading 2-0? Those results alongside the Marney injury really changed our season and were pivotal in us going down

Yes that’s probably it. I remember blowing a two goal lead twice.

[Zlatan]

Certainly lost a bit of fizz this game

[Cirrus_Minor]

Phew!

[NickBFC]

Bit close..

[joey13]

So sloppy in midfield

[Zlatan]

Certainly lost a bit of fizz this game

Should have kept my gob shut... that was close, too close

[claptrappers_union]

Thought that was in at first
