Played Lowts

In again with Vydra after great Lowton work. Just offside

Taylor with an attempt on goal from the top of brunshaw road!

Decent half

Good half, pity we backed off after scoring

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:48 pm

Decent game and could go either way. Hope we get a 2nd half to match the first

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:48 pm

Lowton has been excellent this half

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:49 pm

Just about what I expected, they have over 70% possession away from home, our forwards living off scraps. However when we do get it forward into their box we look like we might score.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:49 pm

It was a brilliant finish. Great to see.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:49 pm

Get Brownhill off and Bardsley on behind Lowton The Leicester full back has the freedom of Turf Moor. Their defense is poor. We need to somehow create some pressure

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:50 pm

Mee was poor that half lost his man 4 times

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:50 pm

We didn't back off after scoring. They took control of midfield because we give the ball away too easily.

Give over. That's a quality finish though. He needs to do that more. To be fair some said Bales was easy as we gave him loads of room. Same there but it IS a killer finisb

How did Leicester give Vydra loads of space?

They had possession, which he stole and knocked it past the defender into space. He made it and superb finish.

huw.Y.WattfromWare · Post by **huw.Y.WattfromWare** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:51 pm

Not a dig but has anybody any idea where Tarks was for their goal?
Just asking cos if he’d been in his normal position they wouldn't even have played the pass. What a beauty it was mind.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:51 pm

Don’t think any of our other strikers would have had the quickness of feet to score from that position

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:51 pm

Decent half and it's more "us" to give up possession something like 28/72% and we look better for it!! Vyds should maybe have done better when Wood nicked the ball as McNeil was completely free and it would have been 2-0, but tbf Leicester are VERY pacey up front and we'll be lucky if they don't score at least one more. Shame Tarks header didn't sneak in!!

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:52 pm

They do look dodgy at the back . Wood playing well .

Let's be honest, they are dominant in midfield, which is no surprise. We need to get at their defence, they are dodgy at the back.

Exactly

Westwood and Cork are producing very little

Marking Vardy who had come out of the attack to receive a short pass.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:56 pm

Definitely agree Leicester aren't anything like as convincing at the back as going forward and we MIGHT just get another!

You’ll only complain about his replacement!

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:57 pm

Decent half that, pleased for Vyds to finally get on the scoresheet, pity about their equaliser, but we have given as good as we've got so far, and 1-1 is about right on the balance of play, if we can step it up 2nd half there's every chance of notching a much needed win.

We struggle to keep control of the ball in midfield every game.
I do wonder how a struggling side can afford to go into games light in midfield with 2 up front.

if you actually watch, Vardy starts to go short and Tarks follows him into that space

Iheanacho then just comes across a static Mee

Agree Pope just goes into no mans land but clearly Mee at fault in first place

DomBFC1882 · Post by **DomBFC1882** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:58 pm

I'm optimistic for the second half. Wood and Vydra are causing them real problems

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:59 pm

They are pacey and classy but I still feel we can win

COME ON SUPER BURNLEY

DomBFC1882 · Post by **DomBFC1882** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 7:00 pm

Just realised Vardy is an acronym for our very own Matej

Don't ask

Two off colour defences tonight so hope we can sneek another early goal and hang on this time, fingers crossed.

It's Plan A which seems to be the only plan

Our weak midfield puts constant pressure on service to our front two and exposes the back four

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 7:03 pm

Beckford thinks we're playing well, unlike many on here funnily enough.

'Burnley have been brilliant'
HT: Burnley 1-1 Leicester

Jermaine Beckford

Ex-Leeds Utd striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

It's been an entertaining first half but you would expect to see more from Leicester with an attacking threat. But all things considered I think Burnley have been brilliant. I like what I've seen from them.

They are moving the ball well, setting traps for Leicester whenever they get into certain situations and they are putting the ball in the box at any given opportunity.

Both teams have been value for money today but I want to see the ball moved a little bit quicker from Leicester. They should be looking for the front men, especially the threat they offer in behind.

He's lots of space to take the finish when he strikes it. Yep he clips it past the defender and makes space and Bale didn't have to do as much to get the space but the finish from him is as good.

I'm really pleased he scored. He needs to do it more often.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Wed Mar 03, 2021 7:03 pm

Not sure on Leicester tonight, they don't look right, injuries taking their toll on them.
