Burnley-Leeds-match thread

Why bring Vydra on when you are 1 up and need to keep it tight at the back!

Simple. Pace and counter attack. You have slow players upfront, the oppposition push forward even more

[milkcrate_mosh]

For me that goal us more on Taylor (who had been good up till then), Mee blocks it twice before it goes on.

[Murger]

No matter your claret tinted specs we need to admit that Mee makes more mistakes than any other player on the team. He really needs to step up

Mee has had a poor game. His tackling and distribution have been so slow.

[FCBurnley]

As predicted. Defend and lose lead

[Tall Paul]

Yes, we should have tried not defending.

[tarkys_ears]

Typical dyche shite. When scoring first just sit back and defend...

Has it EVER worked?

[superdimitri]

Score from their first shot on target but let's be honest, we pretty much just invited them forward with chance after chance.

Seems the days of holding on to 1 goal leads are gone. We need to score more goals.

[kazza]

If we get a point vs that bunch of wankers - yes.

[BurnleyFC]

Their equaliser wasn’t Mee’s fault. 100% down to Taylor’s slip.

[FCBurnley]

Another 2 points thrown away. We had em on the ropes, scored then tried to defend. That’s pathetic at home. Needed to push for a second

[Vegas Claret]

I'm a huge Vydra fan but I've no idea what that was about from him, appalling effort and it wouldn't surprise me at all if that's the last we see of him - Dyche was raging at him

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Not ideal, but it's a point and we are off the mark.
We are scoring, just need to tighten up at the back.

Onwards and upwards though.

[warksclaret]

Hate to say it but we were unlucky for that goal of theirs to go in.Pope did not have a goal to save, and we were good for most of the second half. We stopped Leeds playing which takes some doing

[tiger76]

A point is better than nothing, but it could and should have been 3.

2 home games now against Brighton & Leeds where we've taken the lead, and ended up with only 1 point out of a possible 6.

And that form against the lower half sides will have to drastically improve unless we're not to endure a nervy end to the campaign.

You need to remember it's Leeds. That's 2 disallowed goals in the last 3 games, and they get all the luck, we don't. To pick up a point against the likes of that, is actually a positive. Throw Cornet into the mix, and we'll be fine.

It's Dyche Plan A

And there's no Plan B

Should have been Cork for Barnes

[JohnDearyMe]

Would have taken a point before the game

[alf_resco]

Huff, puff and rough 'em up.
Hope we can scramble a goal somewhere.
No pace, no creativity, just run, run, run & hope summat happens.
Glad I didn't pay to see that. Again.

[Commy]

We used to go 1 up and feel confident we would hold on. What's going wrong.

[Quickenthetempo]

Their equaliser wasn’t Mee’s fault. 100% down to Taylor’s slip.

It was more accidental collision with their players leg than slip.
Not sure you can blame Taylor.

[Tall Paul]

One commentator kept saying Conte on the radio yesterday, took me a while to realise he was talking about Kante....

That's how it's pronounced though.

[kazza]

This.

Leeds won't finish bottom half. In fact, I fancy Brighton to finish top half too.

Looked like Raphina absolutely did him.

[warksclaret]

I think with a proper right winger (Cornet), you will see a different team. We offered little down the right hand side today

[Vegas Claret]

well 1-1 is better than 0-4

[Frenchclaret]

At least we are not in the bottom three

[tiger76]

We'll see come the end of the season, but that still doesn't detract form the fact that we can't hang onto leads anymore.

I like you wouldn't have been too down with a draw pre game, however when your leading with 4 minutes to go that has to go down as 2 points dropped.

And yet another home game where we've failed to register a win, and we do need to get this monkey off our back soon.

Leeds normally win games in that position. They level and then luck a win in the dying seconds.

[Gnulty]

First point, I rest my case....UTC!

[Vino blanco]

We didnt sit back and defend after scoring, we simply couldn't hold the ball. Please Mr Pace sign two midfielders quickly. As someone said above when JBG went off it was a mistake to bring Lennon on, should have gone for Cork to try and control midfield.

[Iloveyoubrady]

Not bad but not good. Good performance - better than a lot of our winning performances over the past couple of years but unfortunately not ended up with a win.

I can’t tell if Leeds are any good or not this season.

[Belgianclaret]

Same old predictable story, scoring once and waiting for the opposition to score…

I'm very surprised Leeds haven't thrown another 100 million at the wall. People say they have no money, yet their owners are a hell of a lot richer than us.

[SGr]

5 points thrown away at home this season. Bodes well.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

That's how it's pronounced though.

The other one pronounced it as Can-te

[SGr]

Same old predictable story, scoring once and waiting for the opposition to score…

Yup. Literally zero plan for actually winning the ball back. Just kick it really high and hope.

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

Let’s defend and throw the lead away again

Nostradamus

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Apparently Potter is a top 4 manager in waiting I heard on the radio yesterday

[KRBFC]

Lennon is shite

[kazza]

I bet we pick up points this season where we had no right to.

That's the Premier League. That's football.

[tiger76]

Yes that has to be a genuine concern now, normally if we hit the front you'd be reasonably confident we'd be able to see the game out, but it's becoming a recurring theme now, Newcastle last season, followed by Brighton & Leeds this, and it's a habit we need to eradicate ASAP.

[Tall Paul]

The other one pronounced it as Can-te

The other one was wrong then.

[CrosspoolClarets]

What seems to have changed is we now throw in mistakes whereas in the past we remain solid and grind out the 1-0.

That Taylor one suddenly had us struggling. Leeds were huffing and puffing until then, and we looked comfortable. Then we have the minor mistake of a deflection not a block (Brownhill?).

I agree though it was a mistake to bring on Vydra in this particular circumstance. I would have brought on Collins for Barnes and Cork for JBG. Brownhill to go wide and stop the crosses, Collins to deal with them if they come in.

[SkiptonClaret]

The complete refusal to play 5-4-1 will cost us over the course of the season. Lot of ageing legs in that team / squad.

[welsbyswife]

Agree. He looked like he wasn't chasing things down which is presumably why he was brought on. He tried a fancy lay off when Dwight cut inside and played a good ball in to him. Lost possession in a dangerous position given how they play but just shrugged and waved his arms in frustration instead of chasing back.

Sadly the build up of the Leeds goal reminded me of both Brighton goals. We are exposed badly to sides that break quickly

[Somethingfishy]

All the worrying over the strengthening of the wings and centre of defence and now we are starting to look worryingly light up front. Wood apart do any of the other three offer much of a threat at this level anymore? Barnes wasn't too bad today but he offers little and more often than not these days looks clumsy. Vydra has the ability but seems to have a bit of an attitude/confidence issue and seemingly can't be relied on. Jayrod is going through a dreadful spell (given the chance)and his stats make for bad reading.

Anyone else think we are in need of something different up front?

Did you mean 4-5-1?

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Wrong sub met yet again. They were doubling up on our left just like Brighton did. Should have either brought Pieters on and moved McNeil inside behind wood or put Cork on.
