    Cirkin has to do better with those long passes tho, far too easy to play in behind him - nothing to do with the cover in front on those occasions

    I don't like shoehorning players in and I think we've done that tonight

    Not somewhere I’d have seen him playing.

    We can’t shoe horn them in just to get them in, balance is off.

    Looks massively off. We can not get hold of the ball and there is no width. It's just waiting gorm then to score.

    Unbelievable save from Patterson after absolute garbage from Hume.

    We look massively out of touch for me

    Both fullbacks looking sluggish, need to get our fingers out here

    Hume and Cirkin have been terrible so far, we need to calm down and get our foot on the ball

    Hume needs to wake up. Three balls out into his area and he's lost possession each time.

    Hume not realised there’s a solidity to Burnley players and he can’t kick the ball through them yet.

    Great save Patto.
    Hume and Cirkin struggling so far.

    Cirkin and Hume being shown up on the flanks at the minute. Need to get a grip of their battles.

    Full backs always play poor if the player in front doesn't give that balance. It looks completely off out usual play so far.

    Agree about the shoe horning. It their best chance has come from a poor touch, control and forced pass from Hume

    both full backs looked edgy here

    I agree to an extent but both are making mistakes that weren't impacted by the wingers in front
