Wow.

We deserve nowt.

 

Disappointing this mind. Two performances that have been night and day.

Feels like typical us.

 

Here we go

 

Absolutely ****e mind. Burnley deserve it. Won’t define the season just as last week womt

 

Rubbish. Such a poor second half, so disappointing.

 

Been second best to everything today.

 

How **** have we been today?

 

Till the end but we’ve been poor today and based on what I’ve seen of Burnley it’s disappointing

it also means that spending 114m net is pointless unless we’re gonna spend the rest to beef up the squad, I trust them to do this because surely they know it but we can’t be hooking our main striker and both main wingers against Burnley and we expecting to be competitive against the rest.

Keep the faith

 

We deserved f**k all from this game, shocking performance imo

No tempo or creativity at all

The subs were poor, taking all our width away when Burnley are crowding out the middle of the pitch is mental

Couple big weeks in the window - we need a CB and we need at least 1 forward

 

Been poor today!

Now its thinking which performance is where they are at? Last week which is likely safe or this week where we will struggle!

 

We have. Last week to a man we were better than every West Ham player.

Today every single Burnley player has been better.

 

Didn't think we'd been too bad but that's a crap goal to concede

 

No complaints, second half not at it all. Dubravka hasn’t made one save second half.

Miss chances like we did first half then you will get punished in this league.

Hume good, alderete fine. Everyone else not at it, just in my opinion.

 

It's a lovely counter from Burnley mind, but we've created nothing all half.

 

Very disappointing. Thought we were clearly best side first half. Urghhh Plymouth vibes

 

Game over. Really poor today.

I really don't understand the subs. Yeah the front 3 weren't great but they still drove at their defence, since the subs I don't think we've even tried to get to the byline. Enzo is categorically not a wide player and Roberts is anonymous

 

Frustrating one, can’t comment on the game itself I’m away so unable to watch, sounds like we missed some good chances early on, bury them and it’s a different game, home form will be huge this year, a winnable game next week, going to be a a lot more defeats than we’re used to this season, important we all stick together, still time in the window yet, hopefully Ballard isn’t too badly injured

 

THIS is where we need to stick together as a fanbase. No sniping, no backbiting.

we’ve not played as well as we could have but we need to be patient and take it on the nose

 

They've all been utter wallop today.

Mayenda missed / ballard went off and we turned to ****
