Clarets v Chelsea Match Thread

We've simply imploded again second half, the passing and retention has fallen apart and it's simply not good enough. Perhaps it's a lack of experience on field that's hurting us atm

Boys against men inside our box.

DOS forcing a silly pass.

Oh dear! Have we given them all their goals? Have they had to work for them?

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:36 pm

I nearly had 1-4 also we need to stop playing all the youngsters this is not working Vinny.

Cannot keep giving the ball away in this league. Done it so many times this season

VK wants consistency but you have to have a consistent ish starting eleven to achieve that...and not playing lotto with team selection.

I was hopeful on O’Shea at first and be still might come good but Deary me he is looking massively out of depth against these top teams.

I think it has a lot to do with it.

We look like conceding with every attack.

Just way to easy. We look a disheveled ragged mess

Trafford glued to his line as per

0-4

Yeah definitely Traffords fault… O’Shea turned too easily in Chelsea’s half, three on three in attack with no support from midfield but the keeper is at fault…

Cazaris · Post by **Cazaris** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:38 pm

Not gonna lie, I've tried to defend Trafford, and honestly there's not much he could have really done differently in this game, but we're badly missing Muric's passing. Trafford just lumps it downfield to absolutely no-one, Muric would scythe through teams on a regular basis with his long balls. We need that more than ever now.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:38 pm

He's outside his box at the beginning of the run and then hes stuck to his line when a simple cross comes in

It was his fault

Every single time we concede a goal against a ‘prem’ team we look like absolutely crumbling.

Only Forest and Luton we haven’t rolled over and let the other team have a relatively easy 3 points.

Maybe because they're not some of the biggest teams in the World and are not full of top international players?

Look at the home fixtures we've had for balance, apart from chucking in Arsenal or Liverpool they couldn't have been any tougher..

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:39 pm

O'Shea simply not good enough unfortunately, he was waving for a taxi there.

It's just sooooooo disappointing after a decent 1st half for it to go south so quickly 2nd half

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:39 pm

Odobert only player that has turned up today

Kids trying to do a mans job get proper adult players in....Muric in to stop Trafford putting the defence under pressure time an d time again...Cork in to organise the middle of the park..Edal and Beyer in defence(yes I know they are currently injured) PLEASE

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:39 pm

This Chelsea side aren't big scorers. Before today I think they'd scored seven goals. Much talk about them spending so much money and still where are the goals going to come from.

Enter Burnley and one of the most lacklustre, soft, disorganised forty-five minutes you'll see all season.

Have they just kicked Koleosho after he crossed it? Penalty? I'll take every straw I can clutch at!

Odobert has been excellent.

the all shape of the team didn't feel right when i saw team sheet resting players before international break, give over , looks like Vincent is going to find out the hard way.

Agree re. second half comments. So weird cause first half I felt was quite comfortable, really good defensive shape and offered a threat. Complete opposite 2nd half.

A really poor performance. We look so panicked in possession. Very disappointed with our energy off the ball. A team with no belief or passion in what they do

Said the same, we’ve totally given them the three points here.

We wait until we are 4-1 down and 81 mins before we get the high press going again. Immediately look better.

I agree. Need Muric back in goal and Ekdal has to play with Beyer when he comes back.

Midfield is too powderpuff no one can hold the ball and only Berge can drive forward with it.
