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

[bomba2]

Deserved a point as Burnley were worse , they had two big chances and scored , we missed both of ours.
We need better attacking threat, much needs to happen this week.

Putting the ball in the net is the hardest thing to do, we haven’t got the quality up front to do it on a regular basis

Manager out ??

 

[Flavonoids]

was it bad?

 

[abbs]

Finishing was the only difference today. I'm still happy with our start

Second half was terrible as well mind

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Doesn't excuse rolling over or accepting taking 0 points from huge relegation rivals when we play them

All your posts talk like you weren’t expecting us to be on a dog fight to finish 17th

Like we came up via the playoffs we just need to keep ourselves in with a chance

If we stay up RLB will be manager of the year

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.

I'm not. We were utter shit. Nevermind. Back to the champ with pots of cash.

Some fans need to grow up and grow a pair. We've still got a team of strangers who need to gel. Did better than expected last week and the thickos got carried away. Fine margins today. Early chance spurned and loss of Ballard was our problem.

We improved after they went off like

Centre mid is the issue for me, don’t see goals thetr and the striker is too isolated

How did we improve? We were pretty flatly rubbish from the 45th minute until the final kick.

Don't be a drama queen

Not good enough, tempo was far too slow for the majority of the second half.
Should've taken our chances early in the first half.

 

[Gloucester]

Looked like we were on drugs. Utter shite. Guiu looked absolute crap. The new Burstow I reckon. Hope Lucumi and three others are coming.

Guiu will be our main goal threat this season

 

[bestguy]

I was actually reasonably happy after the first half. Second half went pear shaped. But to be honest the whole game our whole team looked so lethargic, no idea why.

 

[hallix]

Mind could have been worse......Sheff Utd rock bottom of Championhip!!!

We were awful jn the 2nd half and got better after the subs

Hope that helps

Missing chances like Mayenda and Talbi did, maybe Xhaka as well will always come back to bite at this level. Had a gross feeling all game after that. Poor 2H. Ideas were done after they scored, panic really set in too soon. Quality goal from Cullen tbf.

 

[bozwellboyce]

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.

But it’s only been 2 games, surely they have enough to go a few games .

 

[Zimba]

We’re probably the only premier league side to lose at Burnley this season.

Doubt that, they had a tactic today and it worked.

We always struggle against the low block but imo not many teams will be attempting that in the Premier League so we will get chances. Other teams will struggle at Turf Moor this season imo.

The game wasn't half as bad as some are making out on here imo, you'd think we got out played and couldn't get out our box.

 

[Haggis Heed]

We were shite but thats life, we're not going to win every game or even play well every game.

 

[Gucci Massive]

Bold statement considering they’ve just turned just us over

How is that a bold statement like? Or is it sarcasm.
