Massive fan of Odobert standing there and glaring at the lad instead of rolling on the deck.

On principle yes, in practice in the modern Prem not sure. Sterling would have been calling for a field surgeon, and unfortunately those histrionics can make a difference. It was a dirty kick and if we'd done that they'd have had a better chance of the red through their reactions

Stirling getting some space. JT did OK.

Surely every bit of dissent is not a yellow.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:40 pm

We had some momentum after the goal but have gone back to defending.

Everton 2 up.

Oh no own goal. Concede again just before half time. FFS.

Vitinho is getting constantly skinned.

What a scabby goal

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:43 pm

Not getting much luck.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:43 pm

Foster putting a real shift in, defensively..

I was about to say it was coming down that flank. Giving them plenty of space.

Al Dakhil own goal.

Unfortunate but can’t help think I say that far too often about him

Sterling is a problem. Soft free kick prior to that though, ball had already gone!!

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:43 pm

Unlucky

It's more he was looking at him as if to say just you wait. Very refreshing from an 18 year old

ClaretMat · Post by **ClaretMat** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:44 pm

Very fortunate goal, but what Berge was doing giving the free kick away in the build up beggars belief. The ball was well on its way out before he made any contact and we'd have had the throw.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:44 pm

Al-Dakhil’s body shape wrong there, but it’s still bloody lucky. Sterling been excellent in fairness.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:45 pm

Was desperate to get to the break ahead.

Unlucky but a little sloppy.

You know you're back in the Premier league when you're conceding leads just before half time.

Tuesday night BFC scored just before half time.

From liquid football for the goal to schoolboy defending.

We need to be better at the back

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:46 pm

Freak goal we have been mostly on top need to take chances tresor did the hard part

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:46 pm

Sloppy passing again.

We'll be the masters of our own downfall, if we're not careful.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:47 pm

Been a bit too careless in possession this half but the defensive shape in general been really good.

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:47 pm

Larsen on for tresor

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:48 pm

that's what happens if you keep chopping and changing you need s settled side . Only my view.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:49 pm

Not a stupid mistake but a mistake all the same

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:49 pm

So strange having Chelsea provide the Clarets+ commentary. Anyone know why that is?

Injured?

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:51 pm

A good half, very promising and we were really unlucky with the OG. Was it even a free kick beforehand that lead to it ?

ClaretMat · Post by **ClaretMat** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:52 pm

Definite freekick in the build up but completely and utterly needless.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:52 pm

Larsen on for Tresor is a must. Sterling just getting so much space

Cazaris · Post by **Cazaris** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:54 pm

Commentator on the stream I'm watching going on about how Thiago Silva was unlucky to pick up a yellow for the foul on Vitinho really boils my p*ss. Silva knew he wasn't going to be able to keep up with Vitinho and purposely shoulder-tackled him to take him out. Guess I shouldn't be surprised about biased commentary after all our previous seasons though...

Credit to the ref though, he's not putting up with any nonsense from Chelsea. Reckon Cucurella would have been given a straight red for lashing out at Odobert if he'd made contact.

Sterling as had Vittino on toast, you get tighter on good players so they can't run at you .

Rumbletonk · Post by **Rumbletonk** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:55 pm

Berge caused that goal. What a stupid free kick to give away at that point. We would have come in at the break one up if he hadn't done that. Why on Earth did he push him over then

ClaretMat · Post by **ClaretMat** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:56 pm

I think you're watching the same footage as me. Silva came charging across, completely missed the ball and made no attempt to get out of the way. Its a yellow every day of the week.
The commentary team have barely mentioned us though, it's all about Chelsea.

Iloveyoubrady · Post by **Iloveyoubrady** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:56 pm

I like Vitinho going forward though. Do think both full backs look our weakest positions.
Odobert and Tresor look the ********

Tresor been told to defend narrow and leave that space. So blame the manager.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:56 pm

I’d get Koleosho on cucurellas side for the second half , only a matter of time before he gets a second yellow. Odobert looks rightly ****** so I’d get him away from him also.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:57 pm

We were doing really until the goal, then we stopped the high press and sat deeper. Foster is just getting better and better.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:58 pm

I thought that we sat back too much towards the end of that half anyway let’s hope we can win this.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:00 pm

Been out all day so missed first 20 mins but surprised at some of comments on the team. Koleosho was due a rest and Andoumi is a no.10 so with 3 midfielders (Berge, Brownhill, Cullen) he doesnt really fit in. I expected it to be Larsen and Tresor but swapping the wide men isnt shocking at all.

At the back it looks like DeCroix was forced and Vithino looked great first half of last season at RB but Roberts was brilliant post World Cup and Vitinho had to play in positions he wasn't strongest in.

Bayer is a big miss but I was very happy with us swapping the two wide men and thought it was definitely needed.

Shame about deflected goal as we looked pretty comfortable from what I had seen but reckon this could go either way second half

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:00 pm

No doubt they will bring on Mudryk

It Is What It Is · Post by **It Is What It Is** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:01 pm

From the jaws of victory by our sloppy passing, petty fouls and poor defending we are well on the way to snatching a defeat here.
Great effort from the lads but.....well ..you know what I mean. Our defence is poor.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:02 pm

14 minutes added at Fulham, Chris Basham broken leg, feel for the lad hopefully a full recovery for him.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:03 pm

Vitihno is a poor defensive full back. What happened to our passing game, our midfield and wide men losing the ball too easily.

Trtesor isn't defending, which is the problem
