Burnley vs Palace Match thread

[Poulton-le-Claret]

100% red.

Probably worst performance of season so far.

Brownhill now missing 1 or 2 games so a brainless decision from the captain given Trafford could have made the save.

Really does sum up our season in 5 seconds.

Or Trafford could just not make that pass?

[123EasyasBFC]

Remember when dyche said that at half time if Everton at home ‘I told the lads these boys don’t look like they know how to win a game’

We are now that team, the attitude looks terrible, confidence shot at

[scouseclaret]

Has the Palace keeper touched the ball yet?

[BabylonClaret]

Was that a red? Looked harsh from the stands

He's dragging him down to stop him having a clear strike on goal. It's a red every day of the Week and 3 tines on sunday

[clitheroeclaret3]

A must win game, Trafford probably just lost it

[JohnMac]

I can't defend Trafford any longer. He is consistently costing us with his ridiculously poor footwork and decision making.

As for the Manager who insists on selecting him, I am at a complete loss trying to understand his reasoning.

[burnley007]

I never believed I would ever be in the Kompany out brigade....but I'm heading in that direction. Nothing changes. Nothing improves. It's the same schite every game, expecting a miracle

[Roberts' Tash]

The accuracy of our passing is non existent. This team couldn't pass a turd.

[claptrappers_union]

I didn't think it could get any worse after Arsenal. This is embarrassing. We can't even string passes together!

[BurnleyFC]

I've said it before. I can't blame Trafford anymore. It's now Vincent's fault for not replacing him in the side.
I actually feel sorry for Trafford. He must be so devoid of confidence it's unbelievable.

Vincent has handled the whole goalkeeping scenario dreadfully.

[SGr]

What’s the incentive for this team to be any better? Amdouni and Trafford liabilities, there are options on the bench, but they know, we know and everyone knows they’ll be starting next week anyway.

Whatever

[CoolClaret]

I'm fuming.

Tossed a season off for a league one keeper?

Why?

[Pearcey]

100% red.

Probably worst performance of season so far.

Brownhill now missing 1 or 2 games so a brainless decision from the captain given Trafford could have made the save.

Really does sum up our season in 5 seconds.

Losing Brownhill isn’t really an issue to be fair. He’s been poor for a while now.

[gandhisflipflop]

Get odobert off he has been ******* lazy today

[Clive 1960]

How can you blame Brownhill it's a split second decision he never thought Trafford was going to give him a suicidal pass..

[bumba]

The majority of them. Completely different level.

Doesn't matter look at the top 3 squads. Majority of not all of Leicester's starting 11 last night walk in to our team

[claptrappers_union]

3 mins added time

[burnley007]

Any player above a 3 this week??

[ElectroClaret]

Probably worst performance of season so far.

Think you'd struggle to top last week in that respect.

[CrosspoolClarets]

They would have walked it in.

Not the point though is it? We could come back from 1-0 and have the captain for Bournemouth. It's judgement in those finer moments again, not just from the younger players.

[claretburns]

Muric would never have made that kind of mistake*



*apart from when he did against Blackpool last season.

*Let's forget it was Cullen's poor touch which led to the goal.

[Funkydrummer]

Worry not, it's harder to play against 10 men don't you know !!!!!!

We are being eaten alive by a bang average side.
Embarrassing doesn't even begin to cover it I'm afraid.

As for Trafford, I've kept my cards close to my chest until now
but it's getting beyond a joke and a change is long overdue.

There, I've said it. We all have to learn but not at the expense of others.

[bumba]

Vincent has handled the whole goalkeeping scenario dreadfully.

He's handled everything but Foster dreadfully since May

[tarkys_ears]

Free kick

Plays high ball

Oppo player hits it back to us

Play out wide

Come under pressure

Back to trafford

Punts back to Oppo player

Rinse and repeat

[IanMcL]

Trafford is not a joke. He is a very good young keeper. Sadly, his inexperience leafs to many bad decisions and that has cost us several matches.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Think you'd struggle to top last week in that respect.

No, this is far worse. We were OK in patches against Arsenal who were ruthless. Was on the game. Watching on US TV today.

[Darthlaw]

*Let's forget it was Cullen's poor touch which led to the goal.

Sure...

[claptrappers_union]

Trafford is not a joke. He is a very good young keeper. Sadly, his inexperience leafs to many bad decisions and that has cost us several matches.

We've been saying this ALL SEASON though

[brexit]

Look on the positive side, replacing amdouni with a dwarf we are still playing with 10-men: we could sneak this

[IanMcL]

Corner Clarets. Come on Burnley

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Let's have it right, atm Kompany is absolutely ruining some of our younger players, they won't grow for the experience, they won't get better. Some will be absolutely shellshocked and it's simply rank bad management of players careers

[Pearcey]

Trafford is not a joke. He is a very good young keeper. Sadly, his inexperience leafs to many bad decisions and that has cost us several matches.

I’ll be honest, I’m not seeing a good keeper.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Or Trafford could just not make that pass?

Of course that was also a shocker, just saying Brownhill was also culpable.

[IanMcL]

Half Time and 0-0.

.miracle

[CoolClaret]

VK and 'the project can go for me now.

I've never seen a manager given this much leeway to just sign players like he does and we're getting worse every week. It's strange and we're an absolute shadow of the team that slapped the Championship up last season.

[SalouClaret]

Doesn't matter look at the top 3 squads. Majority of not all of Leicester's starting 11 last night walk in to our team

Majority? No chance. That Leicester squad would struggle in the Premier League and they'll need plenty of new signings to have a chance of staying up.

[IanMcL]

We've been saying this ALL SEASON though

Agreed

[spt_claret]

I'm fuming.

Tossed a season off for a league one keeper?

Why?

Honestly not sure he's that. I've gone from critical to critical but hoping, to pitying, now I'm just getting angry.
Luigi Cennamo would push him for a place.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Muric would never have made that kind of mistake*



*apart from when he did against Blackpool last season.

Muric wasn't costing us points regularly in February.

[claptrappers_union]

Dog turd, absolute dog turd

[ElectroClaret]

Half Time.
A minor miracle we're still level.

[HahaYeah]

The stuff of nightmares.

[Buxtonclaret]

Any player above a 3 this week??

Berger not doing too bad as an extra CB

[123EasyasBFC]

There has been some bad halves of football this season but that is the worst of the lot

[superdimitri]

You can't blame Brownhill imo. As people have already said it's just an automatic reaction out of desperation. There was no time to assess the situation.
Bad decision making from Trafford to make the pass and good pressing from them.

Since it happens so regularly you'd think Trafford would avoid doing it so much.

[Swizzlestick]

It's not even just the lad himself - you can see the general hesitancy and nervousness it causes our defence. It's clear he's been instructed to punt it long more often and just now and again play it out short, but he can't even do that correctly. It's totally derailed our tactical style and turned us into an aimless 'playing for percentages' team, which we never were previously, and we've now got the added bonus of game killing howlers on top of that. Utterly criminal Kompany hasn't remedied a critical area of the team earlier and it's absolutely stuffed us.

[Casper2]

I don’t think Palace have been that good

[ClaretAL]

Trafford must have a clause in his contract to be number 1 no matter what. Don’t get me wrong half of the team are just as bad, but to continue with Trafford is beyond being stubborn or loyal, it’s becoming stranger by the minute

[thelifeofbrian]

look on the positive side, we are still in this...

[Rileybobs]

Get odobert off he has been ******* lazy today

Unforgivable. How is he still on the pitch with this work rate? Complete lack of effort. Palace creating chances at will down our left side and in every replay you see Odobert jogging into the frame 10 seconds later. Utter disgrace.
