It’s poor goalkeeping, say what it is instead of defending the indefensible.

I will hold my hands up in terms of Muric, I am not a fan and if we go up we definitely need a better keeper, on that Swansea goal it was not his fault.

Barely changed the flight of the ball, poor goalkeeping.
Got away with one earlier that was right down his throat but parried straight back out

One that was fired at him from little over 10 yards away, nothing wrong with the first save you’re referring to

If and when we lose kompany, the Swansea manager as a replacement would not be a bad shout

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:32 pm

Not working the press like we normally do. Seems to be more about shape here

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:32 pm

Had rime to adjust even with the deflection. Should always push the ball away from goal too.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:33 pm

Ref not fancy giving any fouls on Tella?

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:33 pm

Tella getting nothing here

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:34 pm

There out burnley in us at the moment. Joe Allen running it

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:34 pm

Tella getting nowt off this ref.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:34 pm

Referee absolutely appalling for both sides

Just barging tella over, pathetic ref

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:34 pm

Referee up for a bit of physicality so may be one for Barnes today

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

Ref is bizarre with is decision making, but favouring neither side

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

Ref giving us nothing, but Tella needs to pass to Jay there. A bit guilty of holding on to it too often sometimes.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

Why isn't Tella just pushing the ball to the right and sprinting into the area when he is 1v1 there? Surely he is favourite in a footrace with their centre-back! Lost possession cheaply both times.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

This Ref is letting far too much go (both ways) ... Someone will get hurt if this carries on

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

Possession 64:36 for Swansea. Big change from 48:52 around when we went 2 up.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

This ref is as diabolical as the two commentators are biased on the Welsh stream I'm watching.

LTUK89 · Post by **LTUK89** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

I had a horrible flashback to Lee Grant palming it back out to the striker week in week out just then.

whiffa · Post by **whiffa** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:35 pm

Can we maybe go one game without slagging the players off? Wasn't just Muric at fault for the goal. COYC!

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:36 pm

Now Zaroury wiped out. What is the ref doing here?

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:36 pm

Strange game so far with us scoring twice without looking great!? Their left back is a problem and needs stopping and I wish Tella would just run at their centre back when 1v1

I’ve had to mute them, watching Norwich v Watford on the TV with sound on and my laptop muted. Couldn’t handle it!!

Plus the centre back in question then, Darling, is on a yellow card as well.

It wasn't bad. His job is to save it, when it takes a deflection at the speed, it is down your throat before you know just how much spin and loop there is on it. He didn't get the push out where you'd want it to go but his save was decent.

Did I say good? Or am I simply not picking at every single thing the keeper does which many seem to do. Did the ball go in our net on that occasion? No. That’ll do for me.

Sproggy · Post by **Sproggy** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:37 pm

All 3 goals should have been saved.

Scouse commentator doing my head in.

Burnley ordinary so far despite the lead. Zaroury and Jay really quiet.

Seems to be a lot of space in behind Swansea on the break.

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:38 pm

Well it takes some contact for your boot to come off, which makes it a foul

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:38 pm

Standing on peoples feet Is pretty painful, should do it to the pricks commentating

The space we get on the counter makes me really excited at the possibilities when Benson comes on. It’s 2 v 2 everytime.

The scouser is incredibly irritating.The other one is OK. The welsh one even admitted they got away with one when the Tella foul wasn't given leading to their goal.

Roosterbooster · Post by **Roosterbooster** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:39 pm

I'm finding it quite funny this commentary. I get the feeling they believe Swansea would be 12 points clear at the top if not for referees, bad luck and good old English conspiratorial bias

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:40 pm

Cullen not been seen so far!

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:40 pm

The one on one chances we're getting on the break, Zaroury had a couple, Tella had a few, you'd think this is made for Benson taking them on.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:40 pm

This clown is worse than the Stoke ref

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:41 pm

Brownhill yellow card.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:41 pm

Yellow for Brownhill

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:42 pm

Is it just me or has Zaroury looked short of pace today?

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:43 pm

Allen getting to everything before Roberts right now.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:43 pm

How much trouble are we creating for ourselves with sloppy passing? I know it is our style to push it but we don't seem to have the speed of the surface worked out.

Not been sharp enough in their half really. Lots of poor first touches.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:44 pm

I think Tella got away with a yellow there. Fair play to Manning for not making a meal of it.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:44 pm

Tella losing the ball too easily here.

Yep.

They are playing through the lines a lot better than us.
