Harry needs to have a serious think about our second half strategy at half time. Three players carrying yellows is not good. I am delighted to get to half time 0-0. I hope our class will tell in the second half and we get the bit of luck that deserted us last week.
Good result so far and I even though Burnley did well first half they will not be able to carry on playing like this for 90 minutes. We need to take of Barton and Henry - Barton near to a red card and Henry yet again a risk for our own goal. I strongly we will be much more powerful second half (we need to) and beat them !
I dont see it finishing 11 v 11, 2 of our 3 cards were a complete joke and now hes put himself in a hole especially with Barton as he will now have to send him off for the next borderline challenge.
Hi all. Unable to get a stream as out and about on the iPad. Could anyone kindly provide a brief and obviously impartial view on the first half? We must be up for it if Hoilett has fouled someone.
The other bloke kicked Hoilet. We had a good chance which henry hit straight at the keeper, henry set them up with one of the worst passes youll ever see and Green dropped a FK that Hill just cleared in time. Thats it for chances.
Henry was great at Millwall and has been a good signing overall even if early performances weren't good. Just saying.
Both teams trying to pass around the opposition and we're kinda cancelling each other out so far. Burnley have had the better of it in the final thirds and have probably been the stronger team. Hoillet has looked lively, Henry has looked dodgy. Austin seems even more isolated than usual. We look much more of a threat when we can commit Assou-Ekotto and/or Simpson up the wings.
Delighted to get to HT with 11 players still on the pitch. Both sides look good at passing the ball, you can see why top 2 in league.....
We need pace up front and chance to a 442, Oneill and Kranjcar have been invisible so subbing one of them is a must. Chevanton beating someone and then hitting a 25 yarder looks like our best way of scoring, its not as if we are creating lots of chances.
First time I seen AE play for us - he's been a big disapointment so far. Kransjar first time too, he's not done a lot, but what he has was class.
Looks like we might not have a choice now, hes been invisible every time Ive seen him play so I never get the impression he will do something, like you, I think Kranjcar always has that potential to win it. How trusting were Burnley there, Austin could have had a clean run to goal if he decided to carry on.
So I'm in Oxford street buying boots and coats for the kids. Can't wander round for the next half hour, face glued to phone. I'll check back in at the end. It's the right thing to do, and you know what that means.
