West Ham v Burnley - Match Thread

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Jan 16, 2021 3:56 pm

Team look bereft of confidence, I don't know why after Tuesday, despite the defeat.
The shooting throughout the team is awful.
Robbies deadballs, are dead.
Keep playing the ball behind the men out wide, so they are forced to turnback instead of try and get to the byline.
So many things wrong, but we are still in it.

I hope Dyche gives them all a bollocking at HT. I know he's loyal to a fault sometimes, but kid gloves doesn't always work.
The effort is there, as always, but the nous, game management, technical abilities are woeful.

Jay for Brady probably

Just throwing it out there (and most definitely one of my most stupid suggestions) but I’d switch Pieters for McNeil and bring Brady to LB, and push Dwight up. I’d also swap Barnes with Vydra, for some pace. To be fair to Wood, although he’s been poor, he’s been the better of the two up top. Bring Jay on later for him if it’s not working

To be fair to Wooď

yes hes been Poor.

Come on happy clappers. Please inject some positivity in that.

We're winning if you only count legal goals.

Make Lancashire great again.

Positives:

Mostly solid at the back but that's a poor goal to give away; Robbie if you're going to track back to defend then great, but don't just stand there trying to look useful.
It's only one.

Just start ironing your face, it'll be less painful.

Solid first half with not much in it. Need more of the same and if we can stay within one goal of them until the last 10 mins we can then throw some subs on and try and grab a draw.

No need for Dyche to do anything rash and need to keep our subs in hand in case one or two players get injured

exciting times

If you were allowed, you could safely do your ironing in the WHU goal. Nothing would hit you.

Good grief! I just came on here to read this thread. I'm off again now for a half bottle of antidepressants!

Is there a match thread for people who support Burnley (not without question but look for positives rather than ****)? Most of the last 3 pages are full of posts slating various players. If I was stood near half these posters I would be fuming!

We ARE looking for positives, but it's like the proverbial needle in haystack, trying to find them.

Like Pieters but we’re a different side when Charlie’s not playing. We need him back ASAP.

Rubbish. He is just struggling for co ride centre and needs a bit of luck.

Just the usual whining babies dominating again. SAD!

What was your top positive from that half. Our incisive free flowing ability to run at them and create chances? Brady’s outstanding dead ball skills? Pieters’ pace down the left?

If Barnes stood up there he may have gotten on the end of Woods header there.
