Worryingly can think of multiple games just last season that this happened. Istanbul, Wolves and Man City at least from memory.
That is the worse stat of all from today.

Re: Inexcusable
Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying. Our style of play under Dyche has been terrible. The reason he won’t get a better job elsewhere is his awful style of play, rigid tactics and poor recruitment.Spijed wrote:So are you saying that despite being in the Prem for the fourth consecutive season our style of play has been rubbish season-in, season-out?

It’s all predictable we name virtually the same starting line up every week and play the same way. We haven’t been relegated because there have been teams who have been worse than us. It won’t last though because we aren’t moving forward/evolving as a team. We are stuck in a timewarp with dinosaur football.

Re: Inexcusable
Firstly - well done Chris Wilder - what a good manager he is and what a fantastic job he's doing. Reminds me of our first PL season under Sean but with a cutting edge. That being said they will find the second half of the season far tougher than the first so they need to rack-up as many points as they possibly can before the turn of the year.
As far as we are concerned, three poor results, two poor and one decent performance. Doubt anyone underestimates the absence of Chris Wood after the last two weeks. It's taken longer than it should have but hopefully Taylor is now back head of Pieters. Lowton needs benching too - you can't reasonably expect to keep your place when you are directly involved in so many conceded goals. Harsh criticism of Hendrick making the best of bad job out of position. Move him back inside with Cork and rest Westwood who really hasn't been delivering at the required level since August.
Today was very disappointing but far from unexpected given the direction of movement over the last couple of weeks. Still feel far more confident than at this time last year. An excellent chance to put things right against West Ham provided we get back to basics and focus on what we do best.

Re: Inexcusable
I'll tell you what's inexcusable, being 3-0 down at half time and still failed to muster a shot on target in the second half. It cries out that SD settled for damage limitation.
And folk question why our away supports dropping in numbers.

Re: Inexcusable
Got to say that was a thoroughly rank performance today.
Pieters and Lowton didn't cover themselves in glory, I'd be swapping the pair of the for Taylor and Bardsley. Our midfield just didn't turn up today. McNeill and Hendrick both seemed to struggle on the flanks and wanted to come inside, and I think Barnes and Rodriguez offered nowt.
My main takeaways from today were:
1) Taylor & Bardsley should start the next game
2) We need our wide men to stay wide
3) no beer sales at half time should = instant relegation

There's also half a dozen none Burnley fans coming a long with our group for the day out on the beer too.
If that's the sort of cross section of fans going I can guarantee they'll be proper fans that miss out.
You know the sort, those that have season tickets, stay until the very end, go Bournemouth away and are proper fans will end up missing out.
But to be fair, why should the same people get to watch that dross week after week, let some others suffer for a change!

It's the ability to pass to a team mate, create chances from various situations, and exploit the oppositions weaknesses.
I'm pretty sure if 19k amateurs watching us every week can see our approach/weaknesses then surely the professionals can.
Fortunately we should get at least another season of neglecting the first 11 without it affecting the league we play in.

Re: Inexcusable
Wether it was arrogance or not it was certainly glaringly obvious before the game started and more so as it went on . Our under performing midfield 4 was over run by their midfield five, Their 3 man defence was far more effective than our 4 man safety net which was full of holes, and as many have observed Barnes without Wood looks lost.KlyBfc wrote:It may have been arrogance it may have been naivety starting with that formation but it is inexcusable to have not changed it as that disaster unfolded.
We have to be more flexible and we have to adapt. That is a fact.
I watched a stream of the game and before the first goal the commentator was saying “Burnley are quite content to sit back and soak up the pressure at the moment “ They may have been content but were unable to soak up a fast flowing multi-jet and got drenched , nay drowned . In the second half Sheffield. Utd, showed us what soaking up pressure should look like.
It’s the worst I’ve seen of Burnley since last years Everton thrashing. SD clearly knows it too and therein must lie hope.

We don't always try to lump the ball straight up into the channels. Our football can be good to watch although, sadly, usually only for short spells at a time. We do break quite incisively on many occasions - generally a ball up to the front men that is held and played back to an advancing midfielder, out to the wing and quickly crossed in for a headed goal. Many of the goals mentioned in the top 200 PL goals poll recently were of the counter attack variety. Goals at Brighton, Villa, Leicester (including the one that didn't count) were all counter-attack goals.

Re: Inexcusable
A lot of fans criticise various players for whatever reason, but they must be doing exactly what the manager wants because he picks the same team & formation the following week. Therefore the problem seems to lay in the tactics & formation for Games such as yesterdays.
SD plays the numbers game insofar as playing long balls up to the strikers is concerned. Some days it just doesn't work.
His worst ploy is his insistence on a player receiving the ball, control then pass.
Other teams quite often cut opponents open with quick one touch passes which incorporate forwards dropping back into midfield rather than queuing up on the centre spot to receive a cross.
SD also has an inability to move players around when the current phase isn't working.
He will keep us up, but it's sometimes a fare not worth digesting.

Re: Inexcusable
In our most successful Prem season to date we finished 7th. In that season, we were able to keep ball possession so much better because of the added man in Defour. We could stop teams building momentum and pressure when on top by keeping the ball. We also had wide men/full backs whipping balls in for 2 strikers who were a threat in the box.
Sean quite rightly went back to the trusted workmanlike 442 last season after a difficult start and it retained our status. The recruitment comments above are right; we had to recruit better in the Summer to take us forward in midfield to get back to having some dominance in there. Instead, we got Drinkwater!! And zilch else. We can't keep the ball well enough, especially away from home.
Until we change that, we will continue to be where we are at, an ugly functional team that probably just does enough. But maybe one year it just won't be! Here's hoping it won't be this year coz on that performance we look relegation fodder.

Re: Inexcusable
It's been Dyche's philosophy since he got here. All managers have squad loyalty to some extent - if Sterling misses a couple of sitters in midweek, it won't automatically mean he misses the Liverpool game next Sunday, for example. Ask the question the other way round - is it healthy if the players know that one bad performance and they'll be out in the cold? Dyche obviously prefers to keep faith with the first XI to a greater extent than most; but that's all it is - a matter of degree.jrgbfc wrote:Not saying that.

Or ask the other question - has Sean Dyche been getting it wrong for 7 years?
