It was clear and obvious once you look at the freeze-frame.

So not clear and obvious then

Didn’t even celebrate. Could see pretty clearly it was offside. Ah well it would have been an undeserved win.

Not much luck going our way at the moment but I would have taken a point

poor decision by Pope potentially cost us the win but a miles better performance by us, the difference Cornet and Vydra make is remarkable

And they could now both be injured

Was so important to cling on today

I'd have taken a draw this morning.

Great point but gutted its not all 3 given how the game panned out.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:00 pm

I'd have taken a point before KO, but ditto to the Leeds game it feels like 2 points dropped.

Next week has to be a win now, for some reason, whether it's tactics or mentality we simply can't see games out any more like we used to be able too.

VAR is a passion killer. You jump up going mad to celebrate, and you end up feeling like you've been punched in the gut. It's killing football.

Feels like a loss that

Great Point and second season syndrome for Leeds.

Yeah, would’ve taken it at the start but feels a bit like a loss! I’ll worry about weeds when we hit 38 points.

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:00 pm

We're having all the luck of the relegated side bemoaning their luck as relegated sides always do.

A brilliant afternoon at times, but a deflating one ultimately.

It's got to fall our way soon. Let's hope Cornet was just a bit of a pull.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:00 pm

We'd have all happily taken a point before the game. Just hope Cornet injury isn't that bad.

When I saw him coming out, I knew we were in trouble. Bad error.

Crackin' game though.

Was Wood offside? Now there's a surprise.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:01 pm

Points shared ... fair result ... pity about Woody's foot offside at the end though

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:01 pm

We must find a way to hold on to leads again. We need a shift in mentality.

Fantastic performance. Coming into form now. Outstanding first half.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:03 pm

If Cornet is in the team for 30+ games in the league this season, we will stay up.

Makes a total difference to the team’s feel and how confident the players are playing on the front foot. I would say even having Barnes/Wood up top that would remain true. As good as McNeil can be he can be quite lackadaisical and doesn’t often get the crowd off their seat/change the ‘feel’ of a game with a moment of magic. Thats the type of player Cornet seems from the briefest of time we have been able to watch him.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:03 pm

Fingers crossed Cornet is just a strain which would probably be 3 weeks (just missing Norwich next week).

boyyanno · Post by **boyyanno** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:04 pm

Not good enough again from Dyche unfortunately. Its been done to death on here about having no plan B but it really is killing us.

In all of the games we have dropped points from winning positions in this season we should have packed out the midfield but he just won't do it.

Dyche is the best thing that's happened to Burnley in my lifetime but this inability to change is worrying. Good game to watch but we didn't deserve the win, would have taken a draw to be honest.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:05 pm

To hold on to a lead you need players in midfield who can hold the ball and pass to each other. Unfortunately we don’t have that. The rest of the team looked much better with Cornet and Vydra, let’s hope they are not seriously injured.

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:05 pm

Cracking game and a fair result

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:05 pm

Vydra literally Ran himself into the ground. Hence the sub.Wrong sub ? Cork or Barnes for me

Bring Cork instead of Barnes to have more control of the midfield.

Changing the game implies we avoid facing 20 minutes of all out attack from Leicester as we defend our lead.
I'm not sure Cork instead of Barnes would have changed that reality.

It's pretty obvious why people say that. You're obviously smarting. Go and calm down.

Iloveyoubrady · Post by **Iloveyoubrady** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:13 pm

Great game. Cornet and Vydra starting was a surprise but they were both class. Taylor doing strange things for both goals and Pope absolutely **** for the second. Why does he feel the need to come out so much. He’s done it a few times now where he needs to stay on his line and vardy has a cross which normally ends up being defended. But no Pope comes running out off his line and leaves vardy with an open goal. Wood offside as usual. I can’t help but think he would be no less effective playing half a years further back. The most frustrating game of the season which has been filled with frustrating games.

It would have helped us defend it better. He has physical strength and tactical awareness of the space in front of back 4 - which barnes doesn't.

You understand that "clear and obvious" means AFTER review, right? Offside is literally measurable. It's objective. After review Wood was clearly offside.

PeterWilton · Post by **PeterWilton** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:20 pm

and if it was ruled out for offside but the review showed him onside we'd hear nothing from the "clear and obvious" lot. For clear and obvious reasons.

He was caught off balance for their first too which is why he had to try save it with his foot.

Not his best game.

Who knows perhaps today could be the day that Dyche's fetish with all things Barnes comes to an end, hindsight is wonderful but most observers could see the midfield needed bolstering.

feels like a brilliant point away at a team that cost a ridiculous amount of money, we are one midfielder and one fast striker away from being comfortable in the PL. First half was superb

diamondpocket · Post by **diamondpocket** » Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:26 pm

really frustrating. The manager should know we aren't exactly looking tight and from 55 mins onwards we were pretty much defending. We've shown we aren't able to hold onto leads this season & that we can't keep possession for long enough to slow games down. Why are we still playing a rigid 4-4-2 when they've got players left, right and centre getting in-between our lines, stretching the play, etc. Pack the bloody midfield, man!! Plug the spaces, it's obvious!
Leicester are a bloody good footballing side with so much movement. We were over-run all the half. The 2 strikers can't even hold it up & even if they did they just lose it coz there's no support!! Clueless again.

Can’t help but feel Vydra is that man. A physical presence in centre midfield would be nice but our team that started can stay up and compete in this league. Problem is, the team the finished probably can’t.
