Ash? 8 (for never touching the ball, but falling over for a very important free kick!!)
Such a Burnley under SD performance. Absolutely brilliant and loved it from start to finish. Special mention for Brownhill and McNeil as I've not always championed either in the past, but both were absolutely brilliant tonight. Whether we go down or not, I bloody loved it!!

A Spurs side that scored 3 vs City had almost nothing, I like Charlie Taylor but Pieters has to keep his place even though he lacks a yard of pace now. If Pieters was a little younger he’d be worth a fortune.

Pope 8 - So reliable. Can excuse the odd kick being dink.
Roberts 8 - Growing into the team very nicely.
Tarkowski 9 - Won almost everything. He's been so good for us since the window closed.
Mee 9 - Brilliant all round performance from the skip. That little bit of wing play early on set his stall out.
Pieters 8 - Looked a bit exposed for a period during the 2nd half but excellent otherwise and fully committed as ever. Heart on sleeve player and you can't help but like him.
Lennon 8 - His work rate and nicking the ball back is becoming a real feature of our team.
Cork 8 - Deserved to keep his place after Saturday and looked sharp in their with...
Brownhill 9 ...or prime Yaya Toure as I'm now calling him.
McNeil 9 - Brilliant in attack and defense.
Rodriguez 8 - Put a real shift in and gave them no peace.
Weghorst 9 - Such brilliant hold up and link play. Clever runs looking for through balls. A real handfull for defenders.

Team 10 - The collective effort is undoubtedly our greatest strength.

McNeill 9 - held the ball very well am unlucky not to get an assist
Weghorst 8 - put a real shift in and not without a good bit of skill too

Great performance

As good a performance I've seen from us for a while. Weghorst seems to have galvanised the whole team, confidence is back and a few members of our team suddenly look like different players. The symbiance between the players and the crowd was a sight to behold tonight.

Pope 8 - Some good saves
Roberts 8 - Gets better every game
Pieters 8 - A solid unit that never lets us down
Mee 9 - Captain fantastic
Tarkowski 9 - An absolute beast
McNeil 9 - Back to his best
Lennon 8 - I was wrong about him, sorry Aaron
Brownhill 9 - What a player he is turning into
Cork 8 - Maybe his swansong season, but this was the Cork of old
Rodriguez 8 - Think he loves playing with Wout, should have scored that sitter. Couple of cheeky nutmegs
Weghorst 9 - Nearly gave him a 10. This guy is transforming the way we play, and he is also getting the crowd involved more, hence the atmosphere improving. At times you could feel the energy of the crowd rubbing off on the players and vice versa. I genuinely think he is the catalyst who has saved our season.

Loved that tonight, if ever there was a example of a great team performance, that was it. In my opinion no player deserved a marking of under 8.

Pope 7 - some good saves but kicking iffy all night
Roberts 8 - the difference he has made to the way we look after the ball cannot be overstated. Very impressive defensively too
Tarkowski 9 - some outstanding headed clearances
Mee 8 - lucky that one dither in the last 5 mins didn't cost us, but otherwise very good and a smashing winner
Pieters 7 - good game again I think
Lennon 8 - great game
Cork 8 - great
Brownhill 9 - what a delivery for the winner. Has found some real form.
McNeil 8 - some great deliveries and tracking back.
Rodriguez 8 - great
Weghorst 8 - becoming the cult hero

Brilliant performance and result. We're well back in it now. I thought we were all but done.

Cannot mark anyone less than 8, what an absolute shift from all tonight, some really moments of quality and bits if individual skill.
In truth we could have easily got another goal and made it a bit more comfortable.

What a performance, the atmosphere was electric at the end in the CFS, felt very much like the away end at Birmingham in the promotion season.

Another memorable night under the lights at the Turf.

We couldn't........ could we?

Pope 8 Can't kick for ****, but safe pair of hands and that is what I love about him
Roberts 8 looking good forward and in defence
Tarkowski 9 some great blocks
Mee 9 What can one say, great header
Lennon 8 still chasing the ball on 80+ minutes, great shift again
Cork 8 two very good games
Brownhill 9 Love his energy, totally changed since WW has come in
McNeil 9 another great shift at times spurs struggled to contain him
JayRod 8 two good chances missed, but still worked his socks off
Weghorst 9* team has totally change since he has come in, MOM, but really everyone of them deserve that accolade.

Massive performance, Do you Believe?

Individually, McNeil and Pieters deserve 9's but there were too many times in the 2nd half where only one of them got back and leaving acres of time and space on Spurs' right to put crosses into the box.

What is Lennon on? Lost the ball occasionally but he ran and ran and as things stand a better option on the right than JBG.

McNeils best game in a long time.

beeholeclaret · Post by **beeholeclaret** » Thu Feb 24, 2022 9:30 am

Pope 7 - his kicking was poor generally but great handling and couple of top saves.
Roberts 8 - hes buzzing as many of us thought he would if he got in the team
Pieters 8 - superb cool headedness under pressure. Reads the game well.
Tarks 8 - imperious and had Kane in his pocket
Mee 9 - as Tarks above - plus a superb headed winner
Lennon 7 - as with Roberts above - buzzing and a real thorn in the side
Brownhill 8 - all his usual energy but added confidence now has taken him up a level - great ball in for the goal
McNeil 8 - best game for a while - loved seeing him on the left side pinging in those crosses
Cork 7 - linked up well with ther others and battled well
Jay 7 - good game and appears to link up well with Vout - shame he couldnt deflect that ball into the net late on
Vout 9 - awesome performance of battling and determination that we would win

Barnes 7 - extra point for the ever so predictable "flat on his face fall" which wasted crucial time at the end!

Absolutely loved it. We've got our zip back - keep playing like we are at present and we'll stay up comfortably. Have to say I thought Harry Kane was outstanding. He links play nearly as well as Weghorst.

Once again, every man jack putting in everything for the team. I could mix up 8s and 9s, however, that seems churlish. The crowd was vital and we did our bit at the right times. Cheering off at half time, probably helped them sustain the performance and undermined Spurs.

So 9 all round and 10 for skipper, who got that vital goal.

Special mention for Ashley Barnes, who came on and disrupted them just at the right time.

Special for the crowd the Burnley Burnley chant went round the whole ground at full throttle. Must have frightened those Tottering Rotspurs!

Up the Clarets- with feeling!

Hibsclaret · Post by **Hibsclaret** » Thu Feb 24, 2022 1:46 pm

Harry Kane was the best player on the pitch. All 11 Burnley players were better than the other 10 Spurs players. When you play as a team with the grit, determination and desire it is a match for any team in the Premier league. Kane’s cross into the box was the best cross you are ever likely to see. It’s fortunate that he’s not able to be on the end of his own cross tbh.

CT-its possible that voters like me (who did not make the game-but saw all of it on SKY) do not experience the intensity of their play, and the passion they show. I thought both played well and gave both 7's. A good example of "being at the game means you see things that TV does not capture" is Declan Rice. From TV I always thought he was a great player. Actually being at the Burnley v West Ham game convinced me this guy is the best all round player I have seen this season, and now fully appreciate why people rave about him.

I personally thought Kane was poor overall. Yes, he put some good crosses into he box but they were good balls for him to be on the end of. It looks like he was trying to be a one man team last night. Plus he was constantly whinging to the ref. I hate that.

Lennon 8
Brownhill 9* First time I've given him MoM, I was not convinced a couple of months ago, proved me wrong and has been really very good lately
Cork 8 I really like this partnership with Josh and it seems to be bringing the best out in both of them, it just works, long may it continue
McNeil 8 Really improved since being dropped to the bench for just one game.
Rodriguez 8 Would have been 9 had he scored when it was more difficult not to score
Weghorst 8 It's like he has always been here, knows what the team are all about, works so hard, he's like the Scarlet Pimpernel
