You half wit. "The second goal was NOT Dunne's fault although he wasn't entirely blameless." This makes no sense. I said exactly the same as you. Hoilett should have done more, but your favourite man Dunne allowed Vogts to get ahead of him. He also completely lost Ings for the first. He also mis timed several headers and made some clumsy challenges. If you couldn't see that with the benefit of all your TV replays, sat on your sofa, then it's you who should go to specsavers.
****ing hell, Burnley had Bertie Vogts playing for them? He's older than Dunne and Hill combined! Heard most of the first half and a bit of the second on Five Live Extra, with Mad Dog almost totally unintelligible though he did say AJ and Doyle were linking well, and reckoned BAE faked an injury to hide from the embarrassment of responsibility for the second we let in, or was it the third? Sounds like an exciting game, and we scored 3 goals without Charlie!
I didn't insert the word "primarily" before the word "NOT" because I figured you'd be sharp enough and know exactly what I meant. I figured wrongly. Look, I don't want to have to take you by the hand and walk you through everything on here step by step. Either make an effort to keep up or move onto a thread that requires less intellectual energy.
Most way off IMO no blame here apart from a loose midfield BAE could of done better of course but this is school playground analysis. I doubt any on here know how hard it is to defend when a team gets in behind. Barton was loose today chasing shadows and Burnley were snappy all over the pitch. The other team can't do much danger if they haven't got the ball. Open game that suited Burnley's game a lot better IMO and we may of lost it in the 2nd half ... I was yelling for Henry 20 minutes earlier ... Scruff of the neck ... the midfield was not won and everything apart a long ball game in won and lost there
Ok I'm out of here, as yet again, swords turns a decent thread into a personal battle ground.........swords, you're a complete twat. Stan.............yes, I realise my spelling was a little off there and it should have read Vokes. SORRY.
DT Simple question. Do you think Barton can play the role he's been asked as a DCM. Although he ran his socks off, he can't read the game well defensively IMO.
Apology accepted. Was it a good game Col, this is a very long thread and I can't be arsed to read it all.
Very exciting, old fashioned 4-4-2 v 4-4-2 stan. I'm sure the neutrals would have enjoyed it. The most attacking line up Harry has selected for sure, although it left us badly exposed imo. End to end stuff at times mixed in with defensive mistakes on both sides. A draw was probably a fair result and not too bad a result for us imo, especially with Derby only drawing today too.
Not even me can question Barton work rate and engine but IMO Henry sits and destroys and I am certain Barton hasn't got that discipline. some see a donkey in Henry ... I see a puncture outfit, a lifeguard and bouncer. Barton is a battery and a very good one but at times looks like a piggy in the middle who after a while snaps like a naughty wasp
Agree 100% open game but what option did we have? a win for us would have meant 6 point gap ... at the moment forget the foxes they can be caught later on maybe ... let them feel safe ... certain other teams will do them ... they are getting results BUT just ... We need to want it more and if we do I expect we will catch them and by doing so will secure things
And exactly how would u have any idea that we are "apparently" not getting better each week Grifter? Are you watching Leicester games every week? Muppet! Lol you just keep spouting ****e before thinking. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you sunshine! Mind that gap between you and Derby lol
Barton definintely isn't a DCM. The team looks a lot better when Barton's allowed to go box to box. Henry offers that protection and I thought that when the game started to shift in Burnley's favour in the 2nd half we looked in disarray because Barton's not natural in that position and Kranky's not that mobile. Henry's ok, but he's had a few stinkers as well. Barton could contribute more if he had the security of a DCM giving some cover;however, there are only 11 spots and all in all we played well enough and scored three goals. Thankful for a point in a match which could have been stinker had we lost. In a great position now, table and squad wise.
