Clarets vs Fulham

[TsarBomba]

How many minutes added on?

[warksclaret]

Fofana has to start next game, surely...

2 goals and one assist in about 65 minutes. Thats almost on par with Amdouini for the entire season

[burnleymik]

How many minutes added on?

5

[burnleymik]

Finished 2-2. New lads were the difference, especially Fofana. That feels much better.

[CoolClaret]

So noticeable having a proper left footer at LCB, impressed me has Esteve

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Fofana showing the soft pussys how to do it

[whiffa]

Finally showed some grit and fight.

[BobSykes]

As Jim Bowen used to say - look at what you could have won

Nice one Vinny. We could have got 3 crucial points today.

[Dyched]

More passion in his celebration than the rest have shown all season

[Buxtonclaret]

Fulham must feel like they've been mugged.
Oh well.
I'll take it!

[warksclaret]

VK is shooting himself with his loyalty to certain players, and his dislike for others. My observation is that he is working alongside YES men who do not challenge his starting 11

[RVclaret]

So noticeable having a proper left footer at LCB, impressed me has Esteve

Fully agree there

[Zom Zom]

Now, we go to Anfield...

We need a Luton-esque performance.

[spt_claret]

I felt we needed a win before kickoff.

After that first half, I'm bizarrely okay with a point, better than 0. All three new guys impressed me, all have to start next game.
Thank God we've finally shown some fight and got a point from a losing position.

[expoultryboy]

Just shows what a stupid decision it was starting Amdouni and Ramsey .

[Paddy1882]

Bit of fight and desire at least last 15-20 mins, personally that’s all I ask for.

[Foshiznik]

For all my criticism of VK this season he finally made some really good decisions with the subs today.

[Pickles]

Fofana showed more bo!!ocks in about twenty minutes than most of them have all season.

[FCBurnley]

Utterly undeserved point but maybe makes up for 1 of the 2 we were robbed v Luton

[SalisburyClaret]

For all my criticism of VK this season he finally made some really good decisions with the subs today.

He was just correcting his mistakes - but he got there in the end

[Vincent'sCap]

And Trafford.

I'm not sure which was worse today listening to your total waffle or listening to Iain Dowies total waffle
You just about won but it was close

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Well Kompany's subs paid off for once, it should be Amdounis last start for us for a while mind you because we looked a lot better when we weren't having to carry him ( like we do most games )

[Dyched]

Fofana showed more bo!!ocks in about twenty minutes than most of them have all season.

We won’t see him for another 5 matches now

[CoolClaret]

Fofana, Esteve, Assignon all impressing,

Ramsey and Amoundi I don't want to see play another minute this season, particularly Amdouni. .

[FCBurnley]

Only positives were the 3 new signings but no doubt they will soon be playing out of position

[Zom Zom]

Let's not forget though, being thumped more or less every week is going to affect a young player's mindset. I feel it's unfair to say they don't care, they're probably mentally exhausted. Hopefully, all three loanees will start the next game as tough as it will be.

If there's mistakes, they are squarely at the feet of the person making the decisions, but even he is still learning. I'm frustrated, as are most of us, but we need to keep behind the lads.

[Foshiznik]

Fofana now equalled his tally from the first half of the season at Union Berlin hasn’t he?

[GetIntoEm]

Performances are getting worse. 2-2 was flattering. I've stuck up for them a lot this year but that was shocking.

[Pearcey]

Enjoy the second half. Maybe if I’m not watching we’ll do well!

All down to me that! Still out with the kids! I’ll never watch again!

[jedi_master]

It was getting toxic at Turf Moor today. We were absolute shite until we brought Fofana on. Ramsey and Amdouni should not start for a long while - anonymous, invisible, lethargic.

Esteve, Assignon and Fofana all decent.

Relegated as far as I’m concerned without a shadow of a doubt after this very abject first 70 or so minutes. Had to win and a pathetic line up where we carried two players ensured we didn’t.

[BurnleyFC]

Vitinho. I think this lad gives everything he has. If he’s being asked to play at a level that is beyond him is that his fault, or the fault of the person who is asking him to play at that level?

Always gives his all and did well in the second half today.

[gandhisflipflop]

It’s beginning to look more and more like he got lucky with a formula which just worked. He’s not good enough the proof is in the pudding. We have been completely embarrassing this season and it’s all self inflicted.

There are no signs that Kompany is even trying to solve our problems.

He got lucky? Really? Ok then so by your logic this season he has just been unlucky. next season is a clean slate

[Safron]

What the hell a point we didn't deserve tactics non existent finished game with 3 central midfielders in defence! Mind blowing but a point is a point,

[expoultryboy]

I hope they're your kids !!

[burnleymik]

All I wanted to see was some fight and character, especially when we are behind, and the new lads certainly helped bring that out. There are a lot of starters who are just going through the motions and you could see the change when they were taken off. I think there were promising signs there and really hoping we can build on that.

[KRBFC]

Kompany doesn’t deserve anything

He’s Lampard 2.0

Kompany took us there, he’s earned a shot at trying it again. Same as Dyche did.

[Pearcey]

I hope they're your kids !!

[Goody1975]

We tried Berge in a deeper role earlier in the season and it didn't work.

On paper him stepping out of the defence to dictate things is a good idea, however the lads in front of him have to get a grip on the game otherwise he'll play as a centre half all match.

A midfield four of Odobert, Brownhill, Ramsey and Amdouni hasn't got a tackle between them, it's a plan destined to fail, why take your only physical player out of the centre of the park is baffling at best.

I'd certainly look at putting Brownhill in the number ten role (like last season) with Fofana, and Odobert either side of Foster. In central midfield would be Berge alongside either Cullen or Massengo. We are too easily overwhelmed in the centre of the park.

[Westleigh]

Trafford with 2 excellent saves.

He’s brilliant at making bog standard saves look like worldies,but the basics are horrendous

[JimmyRobbo]

He’s brilliant at making bog standard saves look like worldies,but the basics are horrendous

He's certainly not perfect. He could do with realising how strong he should be at his height.

I was in the Muric camp from pre-season until (probably) October. I don't think he's as bad as his UTC BHE press. He's certainly not one of our biggest problems.

[Kilson810]

2-2 at home to Fulham, absymal.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

He’s brilliant at making bog standard saves look like worldies,but the basics are horrendous

Couple of shockers today to add to his ever increasing list.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

On the bright side Fofana is our new Tella! I thought the new guys did really well. Fofana needs to start now, obviously. Two up front.

[Roosterbooster]

I think Amdouni and Ramsey are excellent footballers, and I've been trying to work out how to get them in our starting XI all season. But after today, I must reluctantly concede that they are passengers at the moment

[Kilson810]

Just shows what a stupid decision it was starting Amdouni and Ramsey .

Exactly, those 2 need to keep the bench warm. Must be up there as some of the most ineffective players in the PL.

[BurnleyFC]

It was a bit cringey with the celebrations in the stands at the end and the announcer shrieking ‘let’s hear it for BURNLEY!!!” after we scraped one of the luckiest draws in a game we simply had to win.

[123EasyasBFC]

What was worrying was how easy Fulham’s 3rd choice striker found it to run behind our defence, especially Ekdal and Vitinho

[jrgbfc]

It was a bit cringey with the celebrations in the stands at the end and the announcer shrieking ‘let’s hear it for BURNLEY!!!” after we scraped one of the luckiest draws in a game we simply had to win.

Wish he'd give it a rest with that, doing my head in.

[Colburn_Claret]

Delighted with a point in the end, and the new boys showed a lot of promise, but that performance, against a rank Fulham side, was just awful.
Miles away from where we need to be, and that lack of leadership in key moments, and key areas of the pitch will haunt us all season.

[Ampth7]

Awful performance overall but at least we showed something resembling fight to somehow get a draw. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the next transfer window will be vital if we are to regain promotion again next season which is far from certain as things stand.
