Wish we'd stop with relentless glory passes mixed with blatant punts

Does my nut in

I feel like we are in control here. Burnley just remind of a Martinez team. A lot of keeping the ball but losing the game. It's a playing style where you simply need to have the better players on the pitch for it to work.

 

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

We need Onana and Garner to be demanding the ball from the defenders.

Bar the goal really poor stuff out there in that first half

 

[Toffe3m4n]

First 15 minutes aside we were pretty poor in that half. Just not matching Burnley for effort & aggression. A goal for them would get their tails right up. Need to see more industry in the second half - haven't been anywhere near good enough with the ball.

 

[blueconverse]

Been pretty awful after the goal. Looks like we just want to hold onto the lead for 70 minutes

*pops head in for a quick idea of how it’s going*

*pops straight back out again*

Well, that was thrill a minute stuff. Can't wait for the second half.

This is why I’m not a dyche fan and no most will say who cares as long as we win. But allowing a poor team like Burnley over 60% on your own pitch is embarrassing and we’ve Hardly created anything

The entire gameplan is don’t concede

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Not impressed, but we’re ahead. Should be bringing Beto on.

Pass it round the back, go nowhere, pass it to Pickford, hoof. Lose possession, Burnley lose it our half

Rinse and repeat

 

[Blue Smoke]

To be fair we've done alright with ten players on the pitch.....Danjouma

 

[lieneverton]

We are winning but pretty poor overall

On the flip side, the opposite of this has been our problem this season, so I know which one I'd prefer, if it continues.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We could be up against Port Vale in the quarters with a win here, makes sense to go for it tonight.

I’m thinking he doesn’t trust us to compete in the Brighton game so he is prioritizing this one. If City got knocked out of this tourney as well (I think they did?!) we have a realistic shot at winning it. Watched the first half though and I have to say a few of the players looked tired. Again- as long as we win.

 

[blueboy72]

A couple of spells where we've managed to string more than 4 passes together but fcuk me, we are depressing to watch sometimes.

Sitting deep, letting Burnley have about 60% of the ball, DCL isolated, Danjuma, Mcneil and Harrison anonymous again.

Let's hope for a better 2nd half.

But if you’re sitting back you have to run 50yrs to get up the pitch. Against attacking sides it can against a poor team like Burnley who won’t commit loads forward and press is in, it makes it a lot harder. We need to be on the front foot, press them get the full backs involved
