***Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC Premier League Kick Off 3pm Match Thread***


Bit of a reality check for some.

This is one of our easiest games of the whole season.

This talk about finishing in the top half etc is so premature.
No one was really believing that mate, no away game is easy and certainly not to a team their first home game and desperate to get win. On paper given our style match up it’s one of our worst bar the top four as they play completely against the way we like to allow teams on to us. It’s one of our worst style wise.
 
The problem with our style of play is we don't really change it when we go a goal down.

It's very difficult to break a side down when you're sitting in trying to counter and not getting any bodies into the box against a side who are rightfully happy to sit back and defend their lead.
