That was excellent from Hendrick!

Was coming.

Against the run of play. Pass from Gudmundsson to Lennon, Lennon bullied far too easily and Everton attack results in a goal.

We've had more chances but they have more quality.

In our half twice and two great chances. feck.

Today we come back to win.

**** defending, again.

watsonsclarets · Post by **watsonsclarets** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:51 pm

Was 4 against 5 against in the central area poor defending...

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:51 pm

Dog shi-te defending. Just staring at the ball. Come on Burnley we can get a win here today

And so it goes.

SD and Burnley sticking to the script extremely well!!

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:52 pm

We'll have opportunities but they'll catch us on the break.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:52 pm

This is the risk when you focus only on defence. If that fails you, you're fooked.

Longsidebovril · Post by **Longsidebovril** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:52 pm

Everton tails up now

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:53 pm

20 mins gone and realistically think the best we can get is 1-1

It would be a first for us in the Premier League under Dyche - Draw is the best we can hope for and that is a 1 in 5 chance - time to break the hoodoo

And that's why we never win after going 1 down

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:53 pm

All because Dyche wasn't proactive with his substitutions.*

* This is a tongue-in-cheek comment.

I agree.

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:54 pm

At least today we have a bench to change things.
Expect to see 3 of Wood, Vokes,GKNK or Marney if it we don't get back in by the hour.

Espia · Post by **Espia** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:54 pm

So is that game over ? Conceded first on 53 occasions .... gone on to win 0; drawn 11 ; lost 42.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:54 pm

Honestly, I don't see why we don't make some changes and get Wood and Nkoudou on. Actually go for it - we have nowt to lose.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:55 pm

Missing Jon Walters badly

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:56 pm

When was the last time we won a game after being behind?

That's a very telling statistic. It shows how rigid we actually are tactically.

watsonsclarets · Post by **watsonsclarets** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:57 pm

why have we gone with traditional wingers without our best header of a ball on...

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:57 pm

Is it a ridiculous statement to say we should sub Jeff for a striker now?

Why wait till that inevitably happens in the 70th minute?

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:57 pm

We could do this lot. Just need to be positive going forward.

Masham Ale · Post by **Masham Ale** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:58 pm

Slow motion that could have been a red. Studs up, off the ground, sliding in

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:58 pm

Walcott 1 Vs 1 albeit at an angle. Pope saves

Not ridiculous at all. I don't know why we don't. Or Nkoudou wide with Gudmundsson behind Barnes

What a save from Pickford.

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:59 pm

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:00 pm

If we dont manage to get back into it we could at least do with a couple of bad referee decision so Dyche and the happy clappers can wheel out the excuses

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:00 pm

Save good Pickford by.

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:00 pm

Must be some of the best football we've played for a while.*

*In an attacking, entertaining way.

Poor defending though.

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:01 pm

Tarkowski is the worst player on the pitch at the moment.*

Misjudged flight/bounce of ball at least twice.

Doesn’t look fit, really struggling.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:03 pm

This is like watching a friendly game. Absolutely nothing from the crowd - I don't blame them as they don't see many goals and it must be a bit nippy. Surely some singing and dancing will warm the crowd?

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:04 pm

Pope denies Walcott again.

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:04 pm

Painful this. Playing some decent football and undone by some poor poor defending
