Stephens 6 very sloppy in possession
Cork 8 great ball in
DMN7
Vydra 8 great runs, created 2 goals, 1 ruled out, a bit of match sharpness off probably got a goal himself
JRR 9 cant ask any more 2 goals and an assist

On a difficult pitch we played some really good stuff on the deck.
Deserved winners.

[morpheus2]

Great performance, very comfortable for 99% of the game and really happy to see Stephens getting more than the normal 3's or 4's.

[Guller Bull]

I did put the kiss of death on Stephens by thinking " what a great game he has has" just before he slipped in a sloppy one. But by and large him and Bards were just old pros showing what they do.

[KlyBfc]

BPF 8 little to do but the save and follow up block were excellent
Bardsley 8 solid and couple of great deliveries
Pieters 7 typical Erik performance
Tarks 8 easy for him
Long 8 One of best I’ve seen from him
Jbg 7 Just a good performance with some good delivery
Stephens 8 I remain of the opinion he’d struggle in the prem for us the way we play but showed today that if we went with a three or if called upon he offers a physical presence, looks to pick a forward pass and tried to get into the box
Cork 8 solid as he usually is
Dwight 8 Love watching him in full flow
Jay 9 mom 2 goals and an assist. He is very good at playing it calmly out wide then bursting with great timing to get in the box. Makes us play better football
Vydra 7 - His movement is prem quality, finishing is championship unfortunately. You can see if he’s like that in training why he doesn’t get selected. He has to take the opportunities to be given a sniff.

McNeil 7 (A really excellent first half, but -1 for largely disappearing in the second, despite his cross leading to the 3rd goal)
Jay 9 (MOM)
Vydra 8

High marks, but that's because they can only play against what is in front of them and we have to judge them on that. Fulham were very poor and we took full advantage and dominated from first kick to last and that allowed our players to really shine. BPF had very little to do, but he made 2 crucial saves which could have turned the game, so well done to him!

Got to give Jay MOTM, but I have to single out both Stephens and Long who were both superb. Stephens did the dirty work well and kept us ticking along effectively with a lot of underrated work. Long was dominant against their strikers and got himself a deserved goal. Both have come in for a bit of criticism in recent times, so I was absolutely delighted to see them both respond with top performances.

Have to agree totally with Stephens who I thought was outstanding in the midfield while Long did his job expertly after a couple of early concerns.

[Leyland Claret]

BPF - 8 Calm and assured and made a couple of excellent saves
Bardo - 8 Really good game and like a kid in a candy shop with the sliding tackles!
Tarky - 8 Excellent performance
Long - 8 Really impressed. Comes in out of the cold and always puts a great shift in
Pieters - 7 Steady away but still not quite got the partnership with D Mac like Taylor does
JBG - 7 Needed that 90 minutes. Pleasing performance
Cork - 8 Got to say he looked fit and I think he should be partnering Westy on Wednesday night
Stephens - 6 Just doesn’t light my fire. Quite a few misplaced passes but I can accept the pitch was a factor
McNeil - 7 Getting back towards his best.
J Rod - 9 Led the line brilliantly and fully deserved his brace
Vydra - 8 Even though he should have scored I think he deserves a high mark for the effort and getting in the dangerous positions his movement and pace can bring. Does need his goal though

Subs on too late to mark.

Pretty much a precession from the time J Rod got the 1st goal. Let’s hope we take that confidence into the next game even though I know the team will revert back.

Peacock-Farrell 8 solid
Bardsley 8 such a top bloke
Long 8 solid
Tarkowski 8 game looked a bit too easy for him at times.
Pieters 7 meh
Guðmundsson 6 really struggling atm
Stephens 6 tried, but his passing is a long way short of being PL standard
Cork 7 slowly regaining some fitness
McNeil 7 quiet, looked tired.
Rodriguez 8 his touch isn't quite there yet, but 8 for his goal contributions
Vydra 8 worked tirelessly, but totally short of confidence, desperately needs a goal.

Fulham were appalling, but we played a part in that. Their players just didn't look up for the battle.

[BurnleyPaul]

Peacock-Farrell: (9) Didn’t have much to do but performed well when needed
Bardsley: (8) Consumate professional- give him another contract; like Grezza he can still do it and is a very useful squad member.
Pieters: (8) Great understudy for Charlie. Never lets us down.
Tarkowski: (8) Genuinely can’t remember him making a mistake in this game...
Long: (8) His best ever game for us? Amazing to see the standard he played at bearing in mind his lack of competitive action.
Gudmundsson: (8) Solid, hard working, offered plenty of threat.
Cork: (9) Welcome back! Congratulations for giving Dyche some VERY difficult decisions for the next game...
Stephens: (8) Partnered Cork well. Seemed to be everywhere (like Cork).
McNeil: (9) Genius. Sublime. Enthralling. How many superlatives can we come up with for him? Surely the big boys are going to pounce for him soon...
Vydra: (8) Oh how good it was to see a striker with pace running at the opposition and carving them open at times. Just needs a goal from somewhere to kickstart him again- will he get the time though from here?
Rodriguez: (9+ MoM) What a performance! Hopefully he starts the next game and carries this form on.

All round- an excellent performance. We should perhaps have scored more but the effect this will have had on Fulham shouldn’t be overlooked. They will not be looking forward to playing us again and this could be worth it’s (psychological) weight in gold

[EarbyClaret]

When you consider only 2 possibly 3 of that 11 have been regular starters that's a big performance against fellow PL strugglers who made similar selection choices

Testament to the fitness, preparation and application of the whole squad and very encouraging for the remainder of the season

[bfcjg]

Didn't watch the game but it's so refreshing to read such good scores all round.

We looked comfortable and could have been 2 or 3 up at half time.

[elwaclaret]

I do not think Stephens is the kind of player many will take to, but today’s performance shows he does the defensive work of a midfielder very well. He regularly broke up play and allowed Cork chance to play a little further forward and grab the headlines. Excellent performance.
