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

I don't think so like. Go 1-0 up and they would have had to change the whole way they've played

Nope we were still on top first half, Seelt has been a bomb scare defensively second half

Sell seelt ffs

As soon as we conceded it was game over like Burnley have wanted it more simple as

They were a hell if a lot sharper all day mind. Faster to every second ball etc.

 

[Darlo1973]

The 20 point gap has shown

Two very different sides since last season. Not really fair to compare them.

First goal always key but especially today

 

[forever changes]

bedwetting at its finest.

Staggering the comments on here today

 

[zebediah]

He's not good enough.

It was his total lack of urgency rather than ability.
He was in a better position to cover than Granit, but he just jogged back.

 

[Sallycinamon]

So Xhaka has gone from our "best signing ever" to the target of the boo boys in a couple of weeks.

Yes, it was a bad performance but we were never going to play like last week all season.

Target for the boo boys is a massive exaggeration, he’s been really poor today though.

 

[hardlife]

I hope this will be a wake up call to those who are happy to go a full season with the 3 strikers we have

True.

It’s quite simple what’s happened today - you cannot miss golden opportunities at this level, regardless of opposition, as Mayenda did. You get another in the Championship to atone. You don’t here.
We go one up and they have to come-out a lot earlier than they did, we pick them off imo.

Spot on that mate

 

[Mowgli]

Midfield looked lethargic today like for some reason.

Because they didn't have a clue what they're doing. Looked useless when being asked to break a team down thats behind the ball. We are purely built for counters.

 

[den]

Disappointing,

 

[keithmoon66]

Xhaka, when the walls fell

Ha that cheered me up a bit

 

[Wild Card]

Xhaka

Has a George Dobson quilt.

Whole performance today other than Hume had been crap and le fee.

 

[Hetty]

2-0 FT

Seelt is not the reason we lost this but he is not a PL player

 

[andyj73]

.. It will be a long season. Plenty of ups and downs to come. Think our squad depth will give us a chance..

 

[southstander]

Outplayed in second half.

 

[Hucknalls Fluffer]

Home form will be massive for us this year, we need the crowd to stay with them. Onwards and upwards

 

[Local Lad]

Put this behind us and make it a fortress next week
