We are playing against a very good side here, let’s not forget that!

Ref isn't buying our diving for free kicks. Common Burnley how about actually playing some football. Come on.

Gotta feel for Vydra he’s the new Juke. However well he plays it won’t go in for him.

He gave us a pen and we haven’t deserved much else.

Vyds has been our best player tonight. Few others need to match his effort.

West Ham have been good and this is a fact. This isn’t 10 man WBA, this is a genuinely quality side.

Please, please, please get Erik Pieters on.

West Ham look like a totally different team to the one that played at Newcastle.

Why oh why are we doing this again!!!!!

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Mon May 03, 2021 8:55 pm

If we had better recruitment we could have easily had Antonio and Dawson playing for us tonight instead of them. Was clear just from the way Antonio played against us in the championship he'd make it in the Premier league.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Mon May 03, 2021 8:56 pm

Polar opposite to us against Wolves. Pass, pass and hoof.

Sometimes you’ve gotta give the opposition the credit for not letting you play the way you want to.

Giving away leads becoming a worrying trend atm. Southampton, Newcastle and now today.

When McNeil gets the ball he has 3 on him. Cresswell has none. Lingard not even broken sweat yet

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:02 pm

You have to judge performances against the quality of the opposition, get to half time and come out strong for second half

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:02 pm

Of course there are individuals at fault. Yes, we can sit back and admire how well West Ham have played but equally we need to adapt - be that personnel or system. Currently we aren’t managing them very well.

He wasn't, Antonio cleverly dropped back on the far post and then ran past Lowton to score. Lowton didn't see him and didn't attack the cross.

It was very similar to when he failed to defend the cross vs Southampton.

Argh. More naivety from us. We have a bad habit of sitting back and giving creative players lots of time. 3 clarets to get on the cross and all fail. Brownhill half ass blocking the cross.

Tarks man. Absolutely no other team in the world would have a player like Lowton looking after Antonio. Tarks should’ve been far more aware of Antonio’s position, but after that Lowton should have challenged for a ball that was in the six yard box. Give the corner away, just don’t leave it. It’s schoolyard stuff.

We are not out of this yet.

Then a miracle 2nd half.

COME ON BURNLEY

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:05 pm

Another poor performance.

Really concerning for next season, we have just looked so bad for the large spells this season.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:05 pm

Half time, they have played very well and closed us down with intensity all over the pitch. I dont think they can keep it going for 90 minutes though, we will have chances later in in the game.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:05 pm

We are not even physically competitive. Was it the club xmas party last night

AfloatinClaret · Post by **AfloatinClaret** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:06 pm

Look on the bright side: After Diop showed Moyes why he needed a new centre half, Tarks has shown him that he's not the one to go for in replacing him.

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:06 pm

David Moyes has us worked out. West Ham are better than I thought they were and we’re a bit after the Lords Mayors show tonight. Hopefully we can turn it up and turn it around second half UTC

I think man marking ended some time ago. Fact was Antonio knows what he is doing and peels away from Tarkowski. Tarkowski isn't going to track him because he knows Lowton is there but Lowton doesn't even challenge for the ball.

I honestly don't see how you can blame Tarkowski. But each to their own I guess.

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:07 pm

Lowton could barely stand up when they got the 2nd & they took advantage.
Hopefully we're better 2nd half. McNeil has been negated so far, maybe Gudmundsson for Brownhill would help?

Charlie Taylor. I’m sick of seeing him tie himself up in knots because he can’t use his right foot at all. Not good enough for a PL player on his salary. He should be practising every day until he can make at least a simple 10yd pass.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:07 pm

West Ham very good today, not a great half from us but credit to the opposition today. Hope Dyche sorts it at HT.

I’d switch Dwight to the right, bring Pieters on and push Charlie up a bit.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:07 pm

Moyes has done an excellent job there, but then again it hasn't come cheap. Worst thing we did was score and after that we've been battered by a way, way better side. Vydra was unlucky with the goal line clearance and their first goal contained more than one Burnley "assist" unfortunately

bf2k · Post by **bf2k** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:07 pm

Desperate for some creativity in midfield. The band in behind are all to predictable.

West Ham have that place and creativity to get forward quickly. 2/3 passes (on the floor) and they are big too big with 4/5 players.

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:08 pm

I was at Upton Park and Burnley were taking a pounding and I shouted 'Come on Burnley, let's have the winner' and everybody laughed... And then we scored!

Repeat.

Eventual score was 2-2 which was a good result.

That tonight would be good too, because Fulham would then require 4 wins from 4.

Liverpool going 68 (?) games unbeaten and then losing six in a row at home, what are the odds of that?

Two freak happenings in one season, is unlikely.
