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

[wrighty]

We can’t afford to be missing that chance early on. Simple as that. We score they can’t just let us have the ball and camp in.

This last 30minutes has been shite but shape has gone.

Very poor game and I’d say at least a point dropped

I wouldn’t be getting too giddy if I was a burnley fan. Very disappointing we got nothing from this after first half.first goal massively changed it. Couldn’t see them scoring until then. After that thought we were a bit ragged. Lack of cutting edge a worry

 

[Gronkowski]

Staggering the comments on here today

It’s like some people expected last week to happen every week

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

We won't be the last team Burnley so this against this season

This. They are strong at home and will do the same number on other teams

 

[KarenDent]

Ah that’s it 0-2

 

[Mowgli]

Wouldn't go that far but hopefully we show today was a bad day at office.

Can't afford another defeat resply as 3 points from West ham, Burnley and Brentford is poor.

 

[mcq10]

We haven't, like. Both teams have been poor but we've been pish.

Fair enough.

I’ve been watching it on a bein sport tv screen in between drinking a few pints on holiday

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

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

Crowd stayed with them all day today like.

 

[RokerRoarer]

Not a single positive to take from today.

 

[LondonMackem]

The club obviously rates him and has high hopes, from what I’ve seen he’s ok nothing more

Passing piss poor, got spun multiple times letting his man pass him, he’s nowhere near good enough even as backup

 

[splorty]

Haven’t moved the ball quickly enough, but Burnley have done what we do, defended well, low block and hit on break. Fair play they deserved the result.

 

[AndrewP]

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.

He lacks ability, nowhere near good enough yet at this level.

 

[kingkeane]

worrying

 

[KJNMackem]

No keys to unlock that Burnley defence.

Not good at all.

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

He’s doing well as a stop gap like.

Off injured after 30 min last week and coming on in a 2-0 defeat, top stuff

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Fair play to Burnley..we deserve absolutely nothing..they've done thier job...no complaints from me.

 

[SunderLad92]

I'm amazed at how quiet Diarra and Sadiki have been especially with how they are usually full of energy and none stop. Xhaka poor today too.

Been just a off day for far too many. Need Ballard back ASAP or a new signing as I can't believe people still believe Seelt is Prem quality because he played half decent in a few pre season games

 

[safcniall]

Nowhere near dynamic enough in attack to break down teams who sit in and we're so vulnerable to counter attacks because of our lack of pace at the back

 

[nelford_safc]

All 3 promoted clubs with a win within 2 game weeks. Advantage completely gone and it's our own fault.

 

[The Rolls Royce]

Well glad I rinsed the West Ham highlights and playoff win over the last few months, reality sets in now back to the slog of week to week

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

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

He has been poor aye but if we were 1-0 up then it's a totally different game, Ballard or not
