True, but Burnley did little in the final third. One shot on target and that was a lame effort. If one of those crosses connects though, it could be different. Tomkinson looks good alongside Hanley. McCallum also looks good coming back from injury. The problem lies with our midfield passing and inability to keep the ball. Sara and Núñez have been struggling so far and the yellow cards put us on the edge.
Hiw did we spend £9m+ on Sara? Playing like a sunday league donkey atm! Perhaps he needs a proper run if games and I want him to do well, but he looks clueless atm!
Yes, Burnley have not really done a great deal to make Gunny work for his money tonight but it is still nerve-wracking watching how dominant they have been. It only takes one mistake or a fortunate deflection and it can all change
Sara looked to be playing in the 10 trying to push and press the CBs on the ball but the were effective at moving the ball around him and then gaining the advantage from the free man behind him. I actually think Sara has been one of our better players in the first half despite that. Nunez was playing a much more disciplined role alongside Hayden
Somehow I got onto a stream with Burnley commentators. Boy was that bad. They Tomkinson booted from the game.
