We are being slated by the commentators on Sky and rightly so. Think they are shocked how bad we are.

Hahaha that pass from Dale Stephens to Westwood. Nearly cocked up a 5 yarder.

FFS Long. Wtf was that. Why are we watching the ball all over the pitch?

Bardsley had been one of the picks of the back 4 so far this season, I know it doesn't say a lot but he's a whole lot better than your giving him credit for.

Totally agree. And he sparked Wayne Rooney out so got to be a top bloke.

Why didn’t Tarkowski make an angle for him! He was just standing there.

Painful on the eyes is this. We've not been this flat in a long time. Nobody seems bothered. Is it the lack or crowd?

I know people knock the chairman and board... this is down to Sean Dyche. This is his style of football. Take it or leave it, you won't get better.

The style of football has never been my issue, it’s got us results.

What ive watched tonight (thus far) appears to be a squad as naffed off with the act of playing for Burnley as the manager has made it clear he is at managing us.

Personally I’d take Barnes off and bring on JBG and go five across the middle with Stephens in front of back four

yeah we could do that !

Also, I need to learn how to spell Stephens !! lol

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:50 pm

The long passing clearly isn't working. Dyche needs some big tactical changes here.

Because he was expecting the hoof I expect, as per the instructions given before kick off.

Worst first half performance in a long time. Thank christ we are only 1 down. The good news is if we improve slightly in the 2nd half we have a great chance because Newcastle dont look ewt special either.

Probably since the last game or game before.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:51 pm

Needs to bring JBG on for Stephens, move brownhill central

He doesn't sniff the squad of any other premier league side, and he doesn't get in most championship first 11's. I think some people on here give him too much credit for passion and commitment tbh. He's not a whole lot better than I'm giving him credit for. He nearly got MoM against Leicester somehow even though between him and Long Harvey Barnes had an absolute field day. Taylor has been our best player at the back so far, hands down.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:51 pm

We haven't replaced Barton and Defour, midfielders who could pass forward into space to players on their own team.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:52 pm

One of if not the worst half of football (if you can call it that) that we have served up in years. The only saving grace is that we are still in the game. That is down to Newcastle being nothing special. Three of their players were risked and were carrying knocks coming into this and all three have complained and look crocked yet they still look head and shoulders better. Embarrassing.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:52 pm

Gudmundsson worth the risk? I expect he's not fully fit.

We've been passengers so far.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:53 pm

Kevin Long is an embarassment.We really need to pull the stops out and get an experienced CH in as our No 3 choice in the next day or so,

All he does is hoof it. or square it, or adjust his hair

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:53 pm

That was disgusting. I’ve got used to us at least playing with a high intensity off the ball but this has been a stroll. Really not acceptable and that’s regardless of our lack of transfer activity.

Boss Hogg · Post by **Boss Hogg** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:53 pm

Will he make changes at half time or keep going until the 65th or until we are 2 down ? An awful watch. Glad I watched the Leeds game and saw some good purposeful football.

Cubanclaret · Post by **Cubanclaret** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:54 pm

Tough watch. Again. Wish we wouldn’t play on Saturday nights -spend all day apprehensive followed by being in a bad mood all Sunday.
We need a better option at Centre half than Long.
I’d sooner have Dunne there.
Let’s hope things pick up second half. It only takes a second to score a goal.
Funny how Vydra is so often the fall guy, he does at least make decent runs.
