Match Thread - Burnley v Stoke.

[KefkaClaret]

Benson, Brownhill, Tella aren’t creative. None of them can make a killer pass and it’s leading to this.

[Ampth7]

Stoke seemingly desperate for a 0-0 or a spawny 1-0 if they get a chance.
We need to move it quicker, especially in the final third and maybe Tella could stay wide more often to try to isolate their right back much like Benson on t’other side?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Well just to suit you perhaps we should just launch it and hope for the best.

I haven’t said that have i?

[boatshed bill]

How about a few positives?

Beyer looks superb.
Cullen and Cork have been excellent.

Come on RV stop being pathetic

A messageboard is about opinions. Posters like you are the reason I have avoided it. Because it has become pointless. You are not allowed an opinion that differs from yours and a select few

No, you just bring constant baby comments, I think judging off the username you are a similar age to me, grow up mate

It’s always been pointless. It’s a forum about football.

The problem with you is you’re not emotionally mature enough to handle a draw or a defeat without resorting to childish hyperbole. Sort that out and you might find it’s a decent place to discuss things rather than using it to rant to make yourself feel better.

[1882Clarets1882]

Ref didn’t add any time for our corner

My thoughts exactly!!.

I'll never forgive or forget Arsenal scoring from that corner given well beyond the alloted time with an offsided handball.

I know I should let it go but, I still hate John McGinley for scoring after Bolton didn't give us the ball back after we'd kicked it out for an injury to their player.

I do hold a grudge. Lol !

[RVclaret]

Benson, Brownhill, Tella aren’t creative. None of them can make a killer pass and it’s leading to this.

Benson I think is but agree on the other two.

When teams are sat in like this I think it will suit Zaroury / Maatsen (like at PNE).

[Newcastleclaret93]

No, you just bring constant baby comments, I think judging off the username you are a similar age to me, grow up mate

Haha what have I said that’s babyish.

In my opinion this football is mind numbing and some of the worst stuff to watch. You don’t agree that’s fine. You don’t see me calling your comments babyish

There’s no hyperbole we are half way through a game. I’m not even talking about the result.

I’m talking about the style and how I find it boring.

[1882Clarets1882]

Just hope we don't get "Dyche Burnleyed " by a workman like gritty Stoke performance.

[burnleymik]

Different level.

We would be walking this league at a canter with Dyche in charge.

This tippy tappy crap is mind numbing

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

[boatshed bill]

I haven’t said that have i?

Which is why I said "perhaps".

Well if they can do it then fair play to them

Quite funny because last season you spent all of it complaining about our poor ball retention. Now we improve on it and it’s absolutely shite and Dyche is winning the league at a canter, just because it’s 0-0 at half time against a team planting 11 men behind the ball.

[Ampth7]

Interesting observation and I think/hope that Twine will make a big difference when fit.

[tiger76]

Dominating possession again, just lack that moment of quality to open the door but have faith I'm sure it will come 2nd half if we keep plugging away.

[SkiptonClaret]

Twine ?

[SydneyClaret]

Still so much negativity. We’ve just dominated a half and almost scored a blinder. Get behind the team.

I don’t think I ever asked for this.

Asking for Improved ball retention after games where we had 20-30% is not exactly an out there statement.

Dyche would walk this league it’s not even close. Best manager in this league by a country mile.

[burnleymik]

Plenty of positives for me. Really like how Beyer is performing, very good on the ball too. Benson causing them trouble. Brownhill doing well with both Cork and Cullen. Just need to get Tella and Jayrod into the game.

If we score the game changes and I think we can score a few against this lot.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Ashley Westwood said on Clarets + that he wasn’t enjoying his football and maybe the injury came at a good time

But now can’t wait until he can play again

[FCBurnley]

Nothing to excite so far except maybe the JRod long range effort that clipped the bar. Overall disappointing

Well said, my man.

[jen1066]

Ok.

[clitheroeclaret3]

Need to up the tempo, every game now we start so slow we allow the opposition far too much time to regroup and get behind the ball.

Exactly this, need to be quicker otherwise no space for forwards to play in

[claretspice]

Need a bit more natural width on both sides. With Vitinho outside on the left but Tella and Cullen running off him, and Benson coming in off the right flank with Roberts snd Brownhill playing inside him, there's noone comfortable hitting the by line to pull it back. As a result it's all getting a touch congested.

I'd like to see Benson and Tella swap, but if they don't I'd expect to see Maatsen pretty early.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Stoke and Burnley unchanged

Bottom line is pal if we happened to be winning this game you'd not be saying a word of this.

But because we happen to be drawing it, it's "absolutely shite" and "the worst football ever".

Just control yourself.

[Quickenthetempo]

If teams are going to sit this deep against us, we either work a hell of a lot harder at attacks at pace, or sacrifice a defensive midfielder and play 442 with the extra winger coming in and Tella through the middle.

Dyche had us 5th on Boxing Day the last time he was on this league without the significant rebuild we have done. Maybe you weren’t watching the football that season but I can assure you that first half of the season was a lot more ‘mind numbing’ at times than this.

By the way, it’s absolutely fine to be critical of elements of our play (I have been here) but perhaps instead of the childish comments, suggest what you would do differently then you’ll see better engagement.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

I said it in three or four games when we were winning at a similar stage.

It’s just my opinion, and if I’m honest There are plenty of posters on here that said similar when our opposition played this way in the prem.

We may well go and win this game but unfortunately I just do not enjoy slow tippy tappy football

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Tella looked like he was through but Stoke defender stopped him

[RVclaret]

Good save Muric

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Good save Muric
Corner Stoke

[burnleymik]

Muric already called into action twice. Need to switch on.

[BurnleyFC]

I just can’t work out how it’s productive passing back to your own defenders just inside the opposition half when you’re on the edge of the 18 yard box.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Good punch away by Muric
Gayle header Muric saves

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Corner Clarets

[burnleymik]

How did that not go in!!

[Buxtonclaret]

We'll win this.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Save by their goalie

[SussexDon1inIreland]

[HollandsPies]

Too much tippy tappy shite this half .
