We rode the storm- Burnley couldn't keep that up for the full 45

Tom Heaton is 31!! Thought he was early 20s!

Played for Cardiff when they were in the Premier League didn't he?

We got better in the last 15 minutes but our midfield was a shambles before that. Completely dominated by Burnley at home.

 

[blue to the bone]

Poor 45 minutes. But still another 45 to go win it. Which I expect we will

Barkley was gash

I don't understand how Barkley went from hitting every shot clean in his first season to basically being terrible at shooting

He got lucky a few times. Now it is back to normal. His shooting tecnique is all over the place.

Borrowed Ossies' boots.

Not brilliant by our standards,Burnley on top for a lot of that half,we got better the last 10 or so mins of the half,Jags has made 2 bad back passes without looking that we have got away with,and barkley clearing of the line,apart from Lukaku shot early on,and Holgate shot which was a good save,plus deflected mirallas Free kick,we have done nothing really,this could be a 1-0 game the way its going,better by miles 2nd half needed

19/20 pages on a match thread at half time.

Sounds like i have missed a riveting game.

Holgate's been our player of the half for me. Makes you wonder if we really need to go out and buy another RB this summer.

Could do with some options at full back though

Just going to assume this is a joke and move on.

He has been very good. Mirallas and Gueye have also done really well. Barkley and Lukaku have been pretty solid too. If we get any rhythm in the second half our goals will come. Burnley know how to disrupt a game very well.
