How can any side go 2-0 up on 42 minutes, and not be leading at HT?

I'll stick my neck out and say that each of these first two games contain more goals than the entirety of next Saturday's MOTD.
 
That second Brighton goal is a thing of beauty, watching those West Ham CBs.
 
How many chances do Burnley want? They're not even testing Leno with them, so poor is the finishing.
 
Can see them frustrating the hell out of us in the next league game.

I would agree with this. Burnley are one of the league's "awkward" teams. Dyche has done good job and they are better away from home than at Turf Moor. I am hoping that Armstrong will be back and that there is a reaction to the league defeats against Wolves and Liverpool. I do not want to seem our campaign stumbling .

The relegation battle this season is fascinating. Bournemouth are the latest team to have staged a Lazarus like recovery although Watford seem to have stalled despite having Deaney back. I cannot see Norwich escaping yet the reversal in the recent fortunes of both Bournemouth and Watford has surprised me. West Ham's tenure is starting to look iffy given their next few games but the way the season is going at the moment, I would not be surprised by them getting a shock result somewhere!
