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

[Randy Ostrich]

Poor performance overall but we were the better team in the first half. Didn't create enough. Move on to next week.

 

[onkeldonald]

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

He’s about 5th choice. Were you expecting him to change the game? He’s not been the issue.

 

[Fez2]

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

Exactly. We can say he was shite today surely? Doesn’t mean we’re not all still delighted to have him

batshit crazy our fanbase

Well this board more so

 

[KarenDent]

batshit crazy our fanbase

Definitely I’m just going to leave them to it

Missed opportunity today. Mayenda can’t be missing that chance - totally different game if that goes in. Too many players didn’t turn up. That second half performance was dreadful.

 

[bozwellboyce]

It’s Burnley no other team will play like that against us and if we’d had taken that chance in the first half the whole game changes as they would t have been able to have sat in. It’s about tiny margins on another day we score that chance they come out and we pick them off. On to the next and hopefully a centre back signs early in the week.

Agreed, it’s only Burnley. Some will play excellent football, hopefully we can compete better against the better teams.

Came out half asleep and 1-0 down after 90 seconds and not once did I ever think we’d get back into it. Slow, ponderous, laborious shite for the entire 45 against a glorified Championship outfit. It was f***ing pathetic.

Your entire team is a glorified Championship outfit ffs

 

[pork pie]

That was a very Sunderland performance and result.

 

[twang]

The new players came up against a championship team and mentality and simply couldn’t cope …. Regis motivation skills

 

[SuperSub]

Surprised with how lethargic we have looked today, even when chasing a goal there was no intensity. A complete opposite to last week.

 

[Cult of Personality]

Hopefully Lucumi in for next week, I’d put Nordi RB as well. Giui to start.

Honking today the lot of them.

 

[smoker]

Burnley will be in a relegation scrap. We will be if we can't take points off teams like them.

 

[Vicham]

Hugely disappointing 2nd half. I was very impressed in the 1st half, the team was in control for great parts.
I'm certain they will bounce right back.

 

[legend7]

Dubravka

Wow you've turned back up but only for our match.
What a bog dwelling scumbag

 

[Roadhouse]

Very poor second half. Just swung hopeful crosses in and they dealt with them easily.

 

[DON R]

Do you think some of you got a bit carried away after beating a shit West Ham team?

Or is the european charge still on?

 

[Karl]

Reality check for the cockends have been giving it the biggun, who thought that we could just turn up and streamroll little old Burnley.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Does Seelt play in attack because that is where the problem lies

The problem has been right up and down the park today. Defence careless with distribution (Reinildo, Hume and Seelt) or too slow (Alderete), midfield out worked and too careless with the ball from the minute the second period kicked off, front line wasteful with the very little we created early on and then offered nothing remotely threatening.

Whereas last week I couldn’t pick a player who had a bad game, it’s hard to pick one who had a good one today.
