Burnley vs The Mackems - MATCH THREAD

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Esteve pulled their player in the box by his shirt- no penalty given
Burnley fans don’t see that
In the Premiership last night Southampton forward was msn handled to ground By 2 United players and commentators said VAR checked and not enough to give a penalty.

[Buxtonclaret]

Phew
Ref has given it.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Balance of play, deserve to be one up.

[whiffa]

We've had great build up play on the wings but again it's our final ball that's lacking... Come on Burnley!

Their player had Esteve's shirt as well.

[Taffy on the wing]

Trafford putting us under pressure with some dodgy passing and distribution......if in doubt...hoof it !

You'll have the "fan-boys" on your case!

[Longsider]

They are choosing their moments to press. Surely there is room behind when they do for an Egan Riley pass.

Could do with that Shelvey lad

[Newcastleclaret93]

Anthony seriously has to do better with the ball there, that’s non league standard final ball

[Commy]

Anthony's crossing isn't very good lol. He either keeps hitting the first man or over it goes. He does really well to get in positions.

Really frustrating because he does all the hard work and his final ball is just shocking.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

All about if Anthony can pick a man out.

[expoultryboy]

Flemming needs to get in the game more .

[WazzaClaret]

Just that final ball every time, feels like we're really close to unlocking them

[Commy]

Parker will make 'tweeks' at half time.

[Kgun5]

I can’t remember a reason for anything added here.

[ISpeds00]

"i'm impressed by why i've seen from Le Fee" - Sky

Done absolutely nothing

[Commy]

Done absolutely nothing

He's passed back a few times . He probably hasn't played football at this speed before.

[Conroy92]

Flemmings playing like a player at about 80percent fitness.
I think id put foster up top and Sarmiento out wide.

A good half but have we missed the chance to capitalise while on top. We will see.

[Longsider]

"You have to admire the resilience of CJ Egan Riley to restore his Burnley career after Kompany disowned him."
BBC
True

[Safron]

Another half of football at the turf this season that is easily forgotten

[Murger]

Anthony’s inability to cross a ball winds me reyt up.

[Kgun5]

BBC
True

No kidding…Although, who knows how much he’s grown in that year.

[FCBurnley]

At least 5 awful decisions by a poor but still a decent half. The block early on Anthony was minimum a yellow but not even a fk

[Devils_Advocate]

Started well but once Sunderland settled into the game they've pressed us well and been the better team. Could go either way and just hope we come out strong and get the first goal like we did at Ewood

[Blyclaret]

I have never heard sky commentary so bias for a team that has done very little also ref very bias towards sunderland

[rosswallacefreekick]

We play some great football.

But where the f**k are the goals?

Apologies, but getting to the point helps sometimes.

[Kgun5]

I can’t watch this Stateside halftime show. Some ex-players discussing a league they clearly don’t follow.

He couldn't have done CJ much harm if you look at how the lad has developed (with the help of loans).

[nyclaret]

We just need to RELAX in the final third. That final ball letting us down

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Think we've been the better team but lacking final ball again. We had a weak ten minutes from around 23ish but ended the half reasonably well. One chance and we win this.

[clitheroeclaret3]

Good ish half. Given nothing by the ref. Antony doing well just that final pass/cross.
Hopefully any changes in 2nd half will tell...
UTC

[FCBurnley]

Fleming not in the game. Would put Foster central and Koleosho or Sarmiento wide left

[Newcastleclaret93]

I honestly believe if we had someone with tresors quality on the wing we would be winning this. At least 5 or 6 times we have been in fantastic positions and the crosses have been shocking

[Commy]

I can't get that decision out of my head when the Sunderland player slipped. Humphreys was away, all on his lonesome.

One of many

Curtis Davies summed it up well at half time, he’s too cocky and when he makes a mistake it’s like he’s trying to prove he’s good enough to carry on doing it when he should just go back to basics and reset.

[burnleymik]

Wow. Dodged one there ...

[box_of_frogs]

What a ball by CJ

I thought it was all Kompany's fault, well you live and learn

[Kgun5]

Wow. Dodged one there ...

Traff had it covered.

[Newcastleclaret93]

And that right there is the difference in quality.

Le fee gets one opportunity and produces and excellent cross.

On the other hand I think our strikers finish that chance compared to Isidor

[box_of_frogs]

Wow. Dodged one there ...

My feed is a good 60 seconds behind….

[Longsider]

Wow. Dodged one there ...

FFS. Come On Burnley. Get this sorted

[expoultryboy]

Really don't think Flemming's 100% fit .

[Newcastleclaret93]

Really don't think Flemming's 100% fit .

Haven’t seen much to suggest he’s unfit?

What’s making you think that

[whiffa]

I'd be tempted to take Flemming and Brownhill off, go 4-4-2

[Stonehouse]

We’re not playing the bottom of the league ,get a grip.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Barnes on. Hold the ball up.

[FCBurnley]

Fleming needs pulling now

[Stonehouse]

This is ou best 11.
