    Let’s be clear - if Ba hadn’t been offside, the keeper would have just picked the ball up.

    Let’s not pretend Ba being offside spoiled an otherwise guaranteed goal

    Well done lads really proud of them tonight restricted Burnley to scraps in the final third and we could well have pinched it.
    Very disciplined from us, closed down from the front, kept our shape and managed to compete in the pockets of space between our lines.
    Broke our scoring run but a well deserved point.

    Unreal effort from gooch. Been out injured for so long. Marking one of the players in the league.

    Cracking points by the lads. They dug in and worked their socks off, we also showed our quality.

    Hard to pick a MOTM out of that back 4 but I'd give it to O'9, I just think he looks so good at CB. Gooch caught out a couple of times with runs in behind him, but he was so quick to react and love how he just puts his body on the line for us. Hume, got better as the game wore on and DB is just class.

    Thought Neil's workrate was top draw in the middle, Michut made a difference when he came on with his positional play - block the spaces very well. Thought Gelhardt and Pritchard set the tone with their work rate.

    That type of game will do the likes of Ekwah, Ba and Lihadji the world of good - thought Lihadji looked good and I'd love to see him start soon

    Great point and a great start to the weekend

    They are a very very good team but our young kids are growing every game pressed hard defended well. And Patto didn’t have. A shot to save. Excellent display

    You do realise that had Ba not been standing where he was, the keeper saves it easily?

    I really like Kompany and this Burnley side by the way. Looking forward to seeing them in the Premier
