MIGHTY CLARETS versus Chelsea

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:12 pm

Just logged in, sounds like we did well 1st half, but spurned chances again, and of course we got hit with the sucker punch early in the 2nd, sums up our season does that.

Poor defending again from both flanks imo

We've collapsed.

Have we thrown in a worse ten minutes since the 6-1 against City? Absolute shambles.

Brentford 3 up

Roberts lost his man for the second. The third more terrible defending, McNeil and Collins ball watching Taylor nowhere to be found.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:16 pm

Completely collapsed and back to pre Brighton standards. An absolutely disastrous day now.

Not sure what's happened at half time but as soon as we came out we looked all at sea.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:16 pm

Dreadful. We miss Ben Mee so much.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:17 pm

Defending like Leeds since HT.

Agree. They’ve hardly even had to play that good.

I'd be tempted to bring Westwood on.

Expected nothing from this game. Great first half, now this. Its the hope that kills you

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:17 pm

Roberts is decent going forward but has no clue defensively. Taylor not much better

we have just fell apart in 10 mins

HT for Toney on his return, just what we need ahead of next week.

Ridiculously bad.

I expected nothing from this game either, but I expected better than us rolling over like this.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:22 pm

Every goal today has come from down our left. Chelsea obviously identified this area at HT with McNeil being mostly AWOL. They've simply doubled up on that flank and created havoc

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:22 pm

Not sure how McNeil is still on the pitch

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:22 pm

Cornet coming on for Jay, a consolation goal would be good for his confidence...

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:22 pm

We had our mini renaissance but it looks like we’re going to start another dreadful run again.

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:23 pm

I fear you're right, and we can't afford that. Next week is a must win game now to keep Brentford in touch. Suddenly we could be down to 4-5 teams in the mix, and realistically 4 as I think Everton will pick up.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:24 pm

Its looking bleak.
Losing at Brentford will be a disaster.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:24 pm

Cornet looked better in 5 mins than Jay has the whole game today.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:24 pm

Pretty fed up of McNeil and his greedy, don't give a **** attitude.

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:26 pm

Next week is win or that’s your lot.

LoveCurryPies · Post by **LoveCurryPies** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:27 pm

It’s Chelsea, third in the PL with a squad that cost hundreds of millions, so don’t be too disappointed. This was always going to be a hard fixture. Plenty more games to come. UTC!

What the hell goes on in training????

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:27 pm

Dyche's tactic of having McNeil trying to block the cross with the left back tucked in are poor and have cost us the first goal today and the goal against Palace.

The left back needs to be right up next to him blocking the space if he goes past him.

Both Pieters and Taylor involved so must be tactics.

Brentford was always going to be a key game, but after today it really is a must win.

But if we're to get a result there we'll need to defend an awful lot better than we have in the last couple of games.

Four.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:28 pm

McNeil needs dropping and permanently, been awful this season.
