I know mate. I wasn't having a go. Good effort from Phillips too. I hate to say it, but I'm wondering if Ale is now passed his best.
Polter has done a couple of clumsy challenges. Otherwise he is doing his job, making a nuisance of himself in a thankless role, with virtually no support. Ingram has been taking distribution lessons from Rob Green. Handy when our midfield seen to have decided that it's beneath them to challenge for the ball in the air. Burnley look crap as well, like the rest of this division.
We've played far more football than Burnley. Dyche has his teams playing hoofball, hit and hope. They'll beat us though I'm sure.
Burnley will need a point possibly from their last game if we draw here. On this first half you have to wonder how they ever got into this position.
He's got decent movement and energy. You're right, Ale's legs have gone. The PL would be kinder to him than this headless chicken league.
I think we've been the better side this half but we all unfortunately know how that usually pans out.
I know you're not having a go. Sad to see Ale...I'm a big fan of his, but some of these passes that he used to hit right to feet are now way way off. They have said it's very windy so could this be to blame?
I was neutral on Dyche, some grudging respect for making Burnley competitive on a budget. But I've just seen him covering his mouth while talking to his assistant, like a rugby stand off or American football quarter back. What a twat! **** off and get a life!
It certainly won't be helping. Trademark Ale pass out to Petrasso at the end of the half though. Dyche his usual moaning, twattish self. What a **** he is.
I've seen Ale have some good games in recent weeks and he's "only" 29 so I wouldn't write him off just yet.
