Not playing that bad , but need max for lennon asap

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat May 07, 2022 3:52 pm

We have had very little on the left, almost everything has come through Mcneil so far. An early goal in this second half to fire us up and I think we could get something.

Genuinely don’t think we’ve been that bad

Recency bias, we have.
We've been shoddy but showed signs. Deserve to be losing but 2 is unlucky.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat May 07, 2022 3:54 pm

Not played bad. No breaks and a Coont of a ref. Pope has nothing to do except pick the ball out of the bet twice. McNeil has to score and Wout has had chances. We certainly don’t deserve to be 2 down. If Cornet is fit he has to come on for Lennon. Think we have been tactically naive leaving ourselves open at the back to simple thru balls. Villa have lots of pace

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sat May 07, 2022 3:55 pm

MJ main tactic of having wingers on the wrong sides so Dwight can cut in and shoot.
He hasn't scored in 50 shots this season.

Change it back.

OK not going top plan but only HT , we will come back in this one and win 3-2 , Max the time is yours . Now could do with a pen early on and not let Max take it but anything can happen in this game .

McNeil played very well again but that chance was absolutely massive and one I feel we will rue

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Sat May 07, 2022 3:56 pm

Lennon still has pace but it's only useful if the ball is played in begind the full back. He gets it to feet every time though and just lays it off. And that's only about three or four times a half. Taylor is the one that usually puts our crosses in from the left. Just get Lennon off ffs

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Sat May 07, 2022 3:57 pm

Very frustrating. We've actually played well.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:01 pm

60% possession that half. That must be a first for us!

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:02 pm

60% possession and 11 attemps to 5. Bet its a few years since we've dominated the stats like that

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:02 pm

Playing well. Gave away a sloppy goal and not converting our chances.
Still plenty to play for.

boyyanno · Post by **boyyanno** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:02 pm

Roberts has done a pretty crap job of supporting McNeil going forwards and it looked like McNeil did a crap job going back for the second goal.

Frustrating today as we aren't playing badly, but whilst Villa do have quality they aren't particularly playing well either.

Can't see any way back for us in this. Weghorst should have scored and McNeil should have either scored or assisted. One of the rare games that I don't think we've lost in in the centre of the pitch, we just switched off for two goals and haven't taken our chances. Really annoying.

Looking at those stats you’d think the score at the top was the wrong way around

6 years ago was the win at Charlton

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:04 pm

MJ just spoke to Max in dugout. Looked like he was telling him to be ready

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:05 pm

Oh no. Ffs. Takrs off for. Long.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:05 pm

Tarks injured

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:05 pm

Looks like Tarks going off for long

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:05 pm

Tarks going off. This game is turning into a mare.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:06 pm

My main issue has been the ref so far, absolutely appalling

Time wasting by Martinez has been horrendous, the ref has warned him on several occasions ( twice getting Mings involved) yet nothing is done, and let's not go into the two clean tackles where a Burnley player has clearly won the ball that Coote has deemed a Villa free kick, or the Digne follow through on McNeil (calf hight) that more often than not results in a red card.

So yes I do have issues with this ref

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:06 pm

Clarets+ Is this Tarks last game for Burnley.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:06 pm

Well this doenst look good for Tarky

Long ready to come on

boyyanno · Post by **boyyanno** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:09 pm

Mee, Tarks, Westwood, Rodriguez and Vydra now out.

Have a horrible feeling this will doom us.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:09 pm

Lennon so reluctant to pull the trigger. Been in good space a few times recently.

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:09 pm

Get Lennon off FFS

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:10 pm

Ffs. 3-0

Jesus christ, horrendous.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:10 pm

Crazy how so much momentum can be sapped just like that with key injuries and sloppy goals

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:10 pm

Shocking.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:11 pm

Defensively for all 3 goals, hopelessly pathetic.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:11 pm

Absolutely rubbish, ball watching s**** in defence. Tark off. We’re in big big big trouble.

Pope saves us from a fourth.

Goal difference taking a battering too.

What was a five goal advantage on Everton on the GD is taking a battering today.

alboclaret · Post by **alboclaret** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:14 pm

Doing our GD damage this

burnley007 · Post by **burnley007** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:14 pm

Lennon should be fined a weeks wages for this

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:14 pm

Just have to hope GD doesn't worsen now, and no more injuries. Need the gods on our side tomorrow. Oh to be a Burnley fan.

We have disintegrated

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Sat May 07, 2022 4:15 pm

Well we'll be the favourite to go down after this weekend, which seems to keep changing each week. Everton's turn next weekend?
