Yet another manager bleating about the long ball, 2nd ball and not knowing how to play against it. FFS they must scout out our games and plan for them, bad losers/drawers

We had more touches in their half than they had in ours

never thought I would see that this season.

Svenster · Post by **Svenster** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:55 pm

Another manager who can't understand why little old Burnley don't know their place and just let them win.

When Pedro scored - it was their last chance on target.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:01 pm

Just deflecting attention away from his players. All managers do it with our own gaffer being a master and judging by the response on here it looks to be working

I agree. We did. Good. It works.

Why do you care if people say we long ball? That's what we do. We have the most long balls in the Prem.

Today we had the most big balls in the PL. All men to their core.

it's almost like they didn't know we may play direct

If we had the most number of long balls and no results I wouldn't be too impressed but we have 30 points and have just drawn with the best team in the league, so honestly he can say what he likes as it works for us.

He said "Burnley are very strong at home and we couldn't cope with their long balls and (winning) the second balls."

He's being critical of his own players.

Why do people get so overly defensive about the words "long ball". It bemuses me.

what_no_pies · Post by **what_no_pies** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:26 pm

Really strong team
Really tough place
Not easy to play in Burnley
Really good free kick
They are a strong team
Burnley tried to disrupt our football and tried long balls and second balls to create chances

All taken from the interview I just heard. Never once a negative slant on our tactics. He spoke exclusively of how we made ourselves hard to beat and how strong a team we are.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:28 pm

He was disappointed they didn't win.
That's ok. He's paid to manage Chelski.
He's just joined a lengthening line of opposing managers leaving the Turf without the 3pts they wanted.
Suits me.

Far more gracious than some of the sour faced two hats managers

He certainly was in this one

Disappointed he didn't get 3 points yes - but not with his team or with us - just found us hard to play against and admired our fortitude - believe he recognises that we make the most of our limitations

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:07 pm

Just seen his interview. Doesn't say much wrong really. We are a tough team at home and we do play a lot of long balls - no problem

Chelsea 10 points clear at the top. Clarets 10 points clear of the bottom.
Both managers and fan's happy.
How I long for the days of being in the fourth devision for 7 years. (just in case that is sarcastic)

Dillusion- a word that does not exist.
D'illusion- French for illusion, as in Backward Rovers are a reasonable football team.
Delusion- a belief that is held despite evidence to the contrary. i.e Liverpool will win the title.

Hope that helps Saxo.

Have to laugh at these foreigners. They just echo one another. I think if we had £90 mullion of talent on the bench and much more on the pitch we might play slightly different Its like the Euro. They cant accept that its screwed. Just full of empty excuses

Saxo, why do you spend all your spare time on the forum of a rival club? Are you so obsessed with the Premier League? A place you will never return to, so jog on you muppet, and take your "dilly" with you, and shove it where you probably love it. Right up where the sun don't shine. GET OFF OUR FORUM!! Or does nobody bother going on yours anymore, now that you're Championship relegation candidates?

Not very nice pimlico. If you can't just ignore posts you don't like you could at least be respectful. Okay, having said that I'm now going to ignore further posts of yours.
Night night.
