Chance for Dwight.
Bad angle though.

IF keeper touched the ball it was after he had tripped Vydra and Vydra had touched the ball first. Insane decision

HollandsPies · Post by **HollandsPies** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:39 pm

Ha ha ha sloppy touch from Arsenal player in our box.

Was it ever going to be anything else against these bunch of tw**s

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:40 pm

Also why was it a drop ball to Arsenal. Always the same v Arsenal

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:40 pm

Jay Rod on, Chris Wood off.

HollandsPies · Post by **HollandsPies** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:41 pm

Yep, I reckon Vydra pushed it passed him FCB.

I need to see the replay again.

Ramsdale is gash. But he hasn't had a save to make.

It was never a penalty in a million years. Keeper made the save, Vydra was theatrical after minimal contact.

It should have been a corner though

buzzclarets79 · Post by **buzzclarets79** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:44 pm

Pen or no pen, Vydra makes things happen, we play better with him in the side yet SD continues with Barnes, I mean if we can see it why can't SD?!

TonbridgeClaret · Post by **TonbridgeClaret** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:47 pm

Vydra has been working his socks off since he came on. Offers so much more than Barnes.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:48 pm

I wish we would be a bit less one dimensional. Making it easy for their central defenders whipping in these predictable crosses.

HollandsPies · Post by **HollandsPies** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:49 pm

I don't get why Dyche put him back on the bench especially after the back end of last season.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:49 pm

Thats down to coaching

Our crossing has been absolutely dire - looking far better overall though!

C'mon Burnley, sh1t or bust.

I believe you make your own luck which generally you get by playing well

Well you can't deny we've played well 2nd half, as we have in each of our games for periods this season.

Our biggest problem is scoring goals, and yet again conceding a soft goal today, that's been the recurring theme of all 5 of our matches this season, and it's a trend that will need to change soon.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:53 pm

Deserved a point today.

HollandsPies · Post by **HollandsPies** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:54 pm

Thought we were unfortunate today not to get a break and score.
Unlucky boys. Cornet looks a promising addition mind.

HyperClaret · Post by **HyperClaret** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:54 pm

On a positive - Cornet has offered loads in terms of attacking opportunities. 90 minutes of him is an exciting prospect

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:55 pm

We didn't create a clear cut chance that their GK had to save

CM yet again shows no strength and guile

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:55 pm

More intensity, effort and less hoofball in the 2nd half, if only we'd have started with that lineup.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:55 pm

If we'd have started with them players we probably would have drawn, didn't deserve to lose really

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:55 pm

We did well, made so many chances. Need to bury them in the future. We looked so much better with Vydra and Cornet.

Its not going to change quickly if you keep using the same 11 players though every match. We can't score and leak goals, only one place that we lead you.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:56 pm

No such thing as "deserved" in the PL. You need to score goals and we just can't. Its starting to remind me of the run Sheffield Utd had at the start of last season. What is it now 4 wins in 25, and 3 goals in 5 games, two by defenders, the third a gaff by the Leeds keeper

Gunfury · Post by **Gunfury** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:56 pm

Well at least we know what our starting line up should be from now on

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:56 pm

Wrong starting line up cost us something today.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:56 pm

Impressed with Ramsdale, he commanded the box and seems to really get the defence organised like Heaton used to do with us

I’m listening to it today and it dies sound like we’ve played Ok but lack in the final 3rd. We’ve been here before and Dyche has turned it around. Cornett sounds a decent player, should take the pressure off McNeil

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:58 pm

Annoying though that narrow defeat was, the 2nd half display, and the impact Cornet and Vydra made is the one huge positive we can take from that.

Need to be more clinical when the chances present themselves though, Arsenal were pretty ordinary today, but they produced a real moment of class to win it, and that's the difference between the bigger sides and teams like Burnley.

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:58 pm

All our strikers are ****, Taylor has lost the ability to cross and McNeil just look like he's lost it.

Cornet looked good though, shame he's only 1 person.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:58 pm

much more encouraging second half with Cornet and Vyds, they have to start. Pleased Dyche made the changes earlier. That has to be the end of hoofball

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:59 pm

A lot to like about Cornet ( especially the flake) Clearly not at PL fitness level but looks quality. Finds space and uses ball well

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:59 pm

Id definitely play Vyds just behind Wood as he gets bullied by defenders up front, would take a lot of prressure off himt o play the ball through the lines

I hear what you are saying but 4 wins in 25 is like turning the Titanic. In the past we have been on a poor run of 7 or 8 games, then we become unbeatable for about 6 to 7. This will take some turning, and to date the only really challenging team were Liverpool

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 5:06 pm

Team when everyone fully fit:

Pope

Roberts
Tarkowski
Mee
Taylor

McNeil
Brownhill
Westwood
Cornet

Vydra

Wood

buzzclarets79 · Post by **buzzclarets79** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 5:06 pm

When are we going to start taking chances though, past 6/7 matches posters have said "if only we take chances" its a constant theme

Must have been, those water tablets certainly work

I presume he is under instruction, but one of the frustrations for me is the number of times Westwood just hooks balls into the penalty area without even looking to see if anyone is there

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 5:10 pm

We had the same problem scoring last season.

After getting 2 against Leicester we only scored 2 in the next 8 matches.

XDS · Post by **XDS** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 5:11 pm

We did deserve something today but we just don't look like scoring, Wood, Barnes Jay and Vydra just look to be struggling for form, Mcneil is playing in fits and bursts for a couple of minutes here and there and our set plays are so predictable, Ramsdale just caught every one of our set plays today, on the plus side the fans really got behind the lads when Cornet and Vydra came on

Everton are not a bad team, especially with the waiter in charge. Brighton should have been a win and Leeds was much like today’s game, could go any way. Don’t forget that run includes a period where we had no investment and actually lost players. We’re now investing in a squad. It’ll take time but it will turn around.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 5:17 pm

Massive improvement but prob need a starter in central midfield to come in in January if were not in the bottom 3 still by then.

Playing quite well and getting nowt from a game is worrying especially as it keeps happening.

I would prefer to see three new midfielders, our current crop are not up to it.
