Great game and good tempo Credit to Burnley for a strong 2nd half Thrilling stuff Great thing was that we had the desire to come back and our quality came through Again Burnley were a solid unit with excellent pressing and quick ball movement No point slagging players as it was entire credit to Burnley for pressing us They got their point But ... We will win more games that is clear
I think it's clear to see that we do have the players to achieve automatic promotion. Today was s bit helter-skelter but with a bit of tweaking that type of performance would have taken 3 points off most teams in the division. And to those who were asking where are the goals going to come from, the answer is everywhere.
Spot on. Both our fullbacks gave there wingers far too much space and this in turn put our CB pairing under huge pressure. Losing Philips was very unfortunate. Hoilett always looks dangerous when he runs at the opposition but hd doesn't do this enough for me. I think Doyle and AJ could score plenty of goals for is if given a run
Good points DT Both Leicester and Burnley press as high as possible up the pitch. Our lads worked hard today but the work rate of the Burnley players was very impressive.
Take the draw, we do struggle to kill a team off tho and is it just me or is our play really slow and ponderous at times.
Hard to argue with that. Ings & Vokes are the best scoring partnership in the league and you can see how dangerous they are - certainly exposed our defensive frailties. Seems a top attacking side is too good for our defensive line up. That aside it was a great game to watch; frenetic with plenty of goals, shame we couldn't edge it. Good that two debutants got a goal each. So pressure of them a bit now. Hope they keep it up. Bit more fitness needed for Doyle though.
Well, no-one can complain about being bored by our play today, there were probably more thrills and spills in that game than the all others put together. Fair play to Burnley, they're far and away the best team we've played in this division and with 15 minutes left any of us would have snapped your hand off if offered a draw...
Bottom 3 in the EPL: Stoke, Fulham, Cardiff. Quote on BBC: "How do you think Stoke boss Mark Hughes is feeling right now? Sunderland are winning, West Ham are winning, and Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are starting for Manchester United."
While it wasn't 3pts, we scored 3 without Charlie. Doyle and Maiga both on scoresheet and we got a point which at 3-2 down we would have taken readily. Plenty to be positive about!!
Henry still key IMO he gives us backbone and we are solid when he sits ... A great spoiler and I admire his discipline
We need a DCM in the team. Henry is not a great footballer but his positioning is key. Barton does not see the danger as quickly
Burnley really showed why they are still in the chase for promotion. Ings and Vokes are superb duo and lethal too. I was amazed their sharpness in the box and almost every a bit dangerous chance led to goal. Fortunately after their third one (which was arrogant and unfogiveable defendind by BAE) they started to miss their chances too. Burnley was very good all over the pitch between 50-75 min but before and after that we overplayed them nicely. Goals for both debutantes which is positive. Dunne scored one the best goals for this season but was bit shaky against Vokes & Ings as were our defence overall. Traore was great on the first half but faded a bit on the second. Hope that his injury was not a bad one. Phillips injured just after five minutes. Un-fekin-liveable! How bad our luck can get? Hope it isnt as bad it seems. Hoilett on the other hand did his job very good and was especially superb on the second half. The match was quite physical and thats why we needed Joey back for this match. IMO he was the fighter of the match and MOM just after Ings. His pass to hoilett in our third goal was sublime. He fights against quite strong burnley players marvelously on the midfield althought he could have had couple of yellows from more perspective ref. Then again so would that kind of ref gave us a penalty in hoiletts case. Anyway great match and loads of goals with both keepers are not fault.
On way home and have to say a very exciting game. Good to see we have goals in us and feel we will be far better prepared for next match. Glad for the draw by the end.
Well, if we can't win, coming from behind to deprive trailing rivals of 2 pts with 2 debut strikers scoring not so bad. Nor is an infusion of sexy new boys...
I think Leicester are far better than Burnley. Other than Vokes and Ings they look only average. We should have won today, and would have done with performances from the back 4 we have had most games this season - but to be fair to them without a DCM they had little protection.
