Burnley v Newcastle - Match Day Thread

[DCWat]

I provide plenty of substance, maybe I should just file you alongside the others who don't understand basic things.

Shame, I thought you were better than that.

You provide plenty words but words don’t bring substance.

I’m happy to be filed wherever you wish, I’d got your number a long time ago, which more and more often is focusing on belittling people. A need to do that itself suggests a lack of substance.

[Zlatan]

Personally I question Tarkowski’s attitude. He’s playing like he knows he’s off soon

[Gordaleman]

Was JayRod the one giving birth?

Do you really think he would have made a difference?

What I want to know is what happened to our ability to score from corners? We had about 15 today and never really threatened.

[SGr]

End of the season can’t come quickly enough. Our home performances of late have been a joke. Doubled by f*cking Newcastle just because they have one guy with some pace and trickery. Unreal.

[superdimitri]

At least you haven't paid to watch most of it. Unless you pay to Murcoch's SKY.

Sky hasn't belonged to Murdoch for years now.

[FCBurnley]

See me ht comment. If I knew what was coming how dudnt Dyche know. We played well for 30 mins then just stopped winning the second balls and the 50/50 s. That’s 7 home games without a win. They bring on Wilson SM and Hendrick. We bring on Mumbongo in injury time. Says it all

[SalisburyClaret]

Well the blame for that lies at SD’s door. We’ve been saying all week that we needed to double up on St. M - that’s 6 points lost because we didn’t

[Bcrollerz]

Well not this week anyway!

Jay wont play again unless of injury
Vydra was superb again today

[claretgimmer]

Weak bench attacking wise but this is where a good manager earns his corn, he changes things around to stop the predictability but unfortunately as good a manager as he is Dyche is very one dimensional and it`s in games like this where he his shortcomings are highlighted, we were by far the better team but one player changed it for them, we knew what to expect but didn`t have a plan to combat him.

[Vino blanco]

Would Westwood and Brownhill get into any other PL team? We really need an upgrade for next season or a total change of tactics for midfield. Our back five are good, our four strikers, when fit, are good enough, but we need cover to the defence and more creativity going forward.

[clansman]

Very frustrating. So many corners and so much good work going forward. However central midfield is so so weak.
Run at Tarks and he is always vulnerable. Newcastle did what they had to and fought hard.

[Zlatan]

Do you really think he would have made a difference?

What I want to know is what happened to our ability to score from corners? We had about 15 today and never really threatened.

3 centre backs answers that, just not going to be effective against that. Need to work on mixing it up against 3 at the back

[jojomk1]

Oh to have a game-changer on the bench...

Messi wouldn't get on until 92 mins with Dyche

[Steddyman]

Agree Brownill hasn't been good enough for some time, he is far too wasteful. Why aren't we playing Cork now he is fit again?

[Belgianclaret]

Desperately caught flat footed after committing too many players forward.
One pass though the lines and he was given far too much space (exactly what should have been avoided).

[Cirrus_Minor]

Probably had more shots etc today than any other game this season. Another purple patch destroyed us after being in a winning position. Gutted

[THEWELLERNUT70]

We were pathetic from the point they made the two subs. We did nothing to combat it. We know all about ASM, double up on him, but no, it's all about shape and framework. We should have been all over them like a tramp on a bag of discarded chips, but at 2-1 down we were strolling around as if we were 1-0.
Unforgivable given the importance of this game imo

[SGr]

And yet it seems to never have occurred to Dyche to target such a player in the transfer window.

[Woodleyclaret]

What killed us was backing of St M no challenge and leaving Murphy unmarked
Again our powderpuff midfield lost us the game

[jojomk1]

3 centre backs answers that, just not going to be effective against that. Need to work on mixing it up against 3 at the back

Mixing it up ?

You are talking about one dimensional Dyche

[Burnley1989]

Given up the lead twice in two weeks, not like us.

Maximum is a top player though, can see him moving on

[brexit]

my major concern is how ineffective we have become at set pieces and corners.

[Tribesmen]

Still not sure how we lost that game but there you go .

Maxiuim is some tool

[Murger]

To not have a plan b after so many years in the prem is embarrassing.

[NewClaret]

Personally I question Tarkowski’s attitude. He’s playing like he knows he’s off soon

Think that’s a bit harsh mate. It’d have been three were it not for his late clearance.

[Longsidebogs]

Can we just drop brownhill indefinitely, he is just simply not good enough.

It’s like playing with ten men every single week.

Absolutely correct. He’s a Championship player at very best. But you aren’t allowed to say that on here!

[NewClaret]

my major concern is how ineffective we have become at set pieces and corners.

Agree. Our delivery is ****e.

Every corner to the keeper.

[jackmiggins]

We had to keep tight to him for 10 minutes. Tarky completely at fault for the second. Amateur defending.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Also there centre halves must have headache because our only tactic appeared to be sling it in the box. It was like shelling peas for them it was that easy

[KRBFC]

I actually thought we played quite well today, Tarkowski exposed showing why he doesn't play for Barcelona and England.
I must say though, Garlick is a disgrace, it's an absolute crime the tools he's given Dyche to work with. Fk all on the bench.

I've found myself less bothered these days anyway, bored of it all, major squad shakeup needed to perk my attention, where's our Saint-Maximin? we should've snapped him up after the Nice friendly.

[Gordaleman]

3 centre backs answers that, just not going to be effective against that. Need to work on mixing it up against 3 at the back

I wasn't talking about just today. How many goals have we scored from corners this seaonn? Not very many, that's for sure.

[Andreshotboots]

Same as last week , terrible game management both on and off the field .

Couldn't agree more, completely in charge of both games and a bit of quality against us and we cant even take a point. For all the corners there's zero creativity, just hoping the keeper flaps or it finds a Claret head. Today really hurts as a decent player, not a Messi or a Ronaldo has come on and ripped 3 points away from us with ease..

[expoultryboy]

2 nil up last week, 1nil up this week and then we start losing the centre of midfield . Instead of taking Brownhill off as some were saying on here , why can't we change to 4-2-3-1 to nullify the opponents attacking options just as we did against wolves ?

[dermotdermot]

Did Rodriguez really have to be absent on account of having a baby?

[Conroysleftfoot]

Personally I question Tarkowski’s attitude. He’s playing like he knows he’s off soon

If he wasn't bothered why did he clear it off the line?

[jojomk1]

Personally I question Tarkowski’s attitude. He’s playing like he knows he’s off soon

Maybe Dyche knows he (SD) is - just dreaming

[jrgbfc]

Cork has to play for me if he's fit, our best midfielder by far.

[Woodleyclaret]

Our midfield players with non tackling and dithering cost us the win

[kentonclaret]

Posters on here talk of the big rebuilding job needed at Crystal Palace should Dyche decide to go there.

Quite a big rebuilding job required closer to home it would seem after seasons of neglect and lack of investment during the transfer windows.

[KRBFC]

Did Rodriguez really have to be absent on account of having a baby?

Why does it matter? he's not good enough either, another who needs upgrading.

[Gordaleman]

Did Rodriguez really have to be absent on account of having a baby?

You want him to miss the birth of his child for the chance of five minutes football?

[diamondpocket]

Personally I question Tarkowski’s attitude. He’s playing like he knows he’s off soon

Yeah, looks a little chubby to me around the arse and has been very slow & sluggish for a while now. He'll get shown up at a bigger club if he gets his move, not a great passer and no pace at all. Good, no nonsense defender though, perfect for us.

[KRBFC]

Cork has to play for me if he's fit, our best midfielder by far.

All of them are ordinary and need upgrading, Cork has been average for a long while.

[KRBFC]

Thinks he's prime Ronald Koeman with his donkey barge like Cruyff turns

[timshorts]

We needed to put in a second before wilson and St max were let onto the pitch, but after going 1 up, sat back rather too much.
I don't think we can blame the central midfield too much. Newcastle out-burnleyed us at the back after going one down putting their bodies on the line blocking shot after shot. They got a bit lucky at times.
But, Cork needs to return to the starting lineup as we look a lot better with him. That would have been emphasised today given the Newcastle's starting cm pair is the worst in the league.
We've not been fortunate to get to play Southampton just after ings got fit and Newcastle today just when their front 3 were back from injury, as without those players both teams have been dropping like stones.
JBG looks ready to move inside a la Wade Elliott. We really need to sort out a decent new wide player as a priority.

[Andreshotboots]

[/quote

It only took their sub 5 minutes to rip us apart so why not?

[NickBFC]

At least you haven't paid to watch most of it. Unless you pay to Murcoch's SKY.

I do, and BT. Makes it worse.

[Longsidebogs]

FFS Get a grip

You don’t agree? Ok then....let’s wait for the next transfer window eh? Or perhaps you think spending 1 MIO in two windows, on Dale Effie Stephens will cut it. We are invincible, and can stay in the Premier League forever, without any investment at all. Ok then!

[giveusaB]

We are where we are because in that mini league at the bottom we have lost twice to Newcastle twice to Southampton drawn twice with wba and Brighton and a draw against Fulham.The only team we beat was Sheffield Utd.It’s great winning at Liverpool,Arsenal and Everton but we have to beat teams around us.

[BurnleyFC]

Did Rodriguez really have to be absent on account of having a baby?

Dyche must’ve given him his blessing.
