Just too Claret tinted.
I'm listening and have to agree, it's over the top

Yup, not a new issue by any stretch.

The Leicester commentary last week was the same. The whole point of clarets player is we can't see anything of what's happening, we're not there, he is our eyes and ears.

But he commentates like we're all there on the Longside with him watching it too and screaming at perceived injustices like we do when we're on, even if we know it's wishful thinking on our part most of the time.

Why do we insist on constant high crosses, high balls etc when they have 3 centre halves. Another cross goes into their six yard box and Rodriguez is the only one there surrounded by about 6 yellows.

It's Plan A

And there ain't no Plan B

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 3:43 pm

We look rushed and panicky when we get near their box in open play. Almost like the players haven't played together before.

Forgotten how to play football when we get to the final third.

2 very poor sides

A real chance of this being a Championship fixture next season.

4 mins added.. before HT (just in case anyone reads later).

Eh? His arm was stretched out.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 3:50 pm

Hanley in his element defending all these high balls. A blind man on a galloping horse can see he's uncomfortable with the ball played on the ground..

Bereft of quality and creativity... That was tough to watch

The BBC HT report was pretty forthright hard to argue mind you.

Norwich have had to fight fire with fire here. Win headers and tackles to earn the right to play. They've dug in well at the back, but not shown enough up top yet.

Burnley do what Burnley do. They're a big old swine of an opponent.

The good thing is we're not losing, but we really need to try and dig a win out 2nd half, a point doesn't really do us much good.

4 Burnley players booked and 1 Norwich, and they say Friend is no friend of Burnley

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 3:56 pm

Finished the half a bit stronger but we can do better and need to up our game because the standard has been that of two good Championship sides rather than a Premier League clash.

Think we can go up a gear and beat these but Westwood needs to remember he's there to play centre midfield and not there to ref the game.

Still fancy 2-0 as if we score I think their heads will drop and we'll get a second then shut up shop

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 3:57 pm

Seem to have lost out on 50/50 balls with a couple of bookings , need clear heads and find gaps and take a chance when we get one .

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 3:58 pm

Two awful teams. We looked to be getting better towards half time. Even Lennon touched the ball. As for the 3
Pens. Vydra won the ball and then Krul took him out. Second was not a pen as foul by Neanderthal was just outside box. So why no free kick and a red ? Third claim was difficult to tell if it struck his arm or not. But his arms were in an unnatural position.

Did they say what the injury was BM.

Sorry mate. Missed this. No I haven't seen anything about what the injury is.

That said I think Collins has been very good.

All 23 goals conceded by Norwich this season have come in the second half.

Hopefully they fade faster than we do.

According to the international feed. Mee is out with a slight ankle injury. Nothing serious.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 4:01 pm

They didnt show it close enough on the replay but the only reason the last one might not have been a pen is the ball might have brushed his leg first so deflecting into his arm. I think if thats the case its no pen but if it only hit his arm then with his body position and where his arm was it should have been a pen

If we can’t beat these we deserve to go down

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 4:02 pm

Really need to dig out a win here. Norwich are tosh. If we don’t beat them it’s very concerning. Shame there is no Cornet as we are missing a touch of quality in the final third.

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 4:04 pm

What is it about the PL?

If we were both in the Champ, this'd be a great game and prolly be 3-2 or something already

What’s this ‘ball on the ground’ you speak of?

"4 Burnley players booked and 1 for Norwich .. and they say that friend is no friend of Burnley"

As players tier in the wet conditions I stand by my 1-0 Wood prediction.

I don't get why we play really good football at Leicester but then when it matters more we regress.

More clown midfielding from us...

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 4:11 pm

Here we go.. another free kick just outside the box. We made their centre half look like Ronaldo.

It's becoming a real problem, and if we don't find a solution it could well cost us our PL status.

Pukki with some great centre forward play. Played so much better than ours today.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 4:19 pm

Our crossing hasn't given us much chance to attack the ball.

McNeil looks very good.
