Sad to see a lot of so called fans on here begging for us to lose, hammering into the team when it’s 0-0 away at Fulham

It means Clarets can look forward to MOTD.

Wonder if the Fulham fans are saying "Burnley won't have an easier game all season"

Imagine slagging off a goalkeeper mid game when it’s 0-0 by bringing up his pass accuracy stats. Why was Pope not held to the same standard and scrutinised the same?

Grow up.

Don't you just love an optimist?

I think he'll start last weeks team with just Taylor back in. Same old tippy tappy pathetic defending,same old sideways and backwards passing, same pathetic corners, same uninspiring set pieces,same old abysmal throw-ins,same lame misjudged substitutions, same excuses post match.
Might be wrong though

Probably because it's a vital way to which we want to play? Different if we're a team that plays off second balls etc

I'll enjoy this win with a big smile on my face. Many on here, judging by their OTT reactions on this thread when our team lineup was announced, will enjoy it through gritted teeth.

There is noway on this earth that I ever want Burnley to lose, I didn' expect today especially with that team I admit but I am as pleased as anyone.......now is my criticism of team selection a good omen?

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 5:25 pm

You can't really blame criticism of the starting line up given how we have played this season upto this point.

It's absolutely brilliant with how they managed to come away with the three points today and we can now all enjoy it, except those oddballs who feel it's a great opportunity just to take digs at their fellow fans. Just enjoy the vital 3 points and have a good Xmas!

Can’t agree with that ,a good first 15 mins similar to many other games then started giving the ball away ,watching it and reading most of the comments thought similar to me we were pretty abysmal up to half time ,however an excellent confident 2nd half .

Go read the comments from the first half, several “fans” were absolutely willing the ball into our own net.

Iv never seen such a fickle bunch of “fans” ever, the complete lack of support for BFC in the PL on here is shocking. Let’s only support the team after they have won, 24 hours later let’s start again hammering the team and manager.

I’m convinced Luton will drop, so I’m not overly bothered.

Forest losing is big. We need Nuno to have a bad start (and end).

I had us losing today and Forest winning (and I tend to be optimistic).

Now I see late February as their next very winnable game with a very tough run before that. Hoping Luton at home will see us move out of the bottom three.

Credit where it is due for that admittance.

Like I posted earlier at 2pm, it was Kompany’s best starting lineup apart from Koleosho and arguably JBG. It didn’t need to be ours

Nothing to do with a “lack of support”. If you’re not at the game and watching a stream, you just comment on what you’re seeing. If we’re really ****, as we undoubtedly were in the first half, it isn’t “wanting us to get beat” to say so. Second half we played well and I’m made up we won.

How is keeping out free-scoring Fulham for 45 minutes really faeces?

Yep. Shocking and very embarrassing.

Good second half performance. Tbf Fulham did not look like scoring. I thought given their recent goal scoring record they would be vibrant and cause us lots of problems but they were lacklustre at best. We didn’t threaten much but conjured two goals out of nothing. Fulham also posed no physical threat and that helped us see out the game very comfortably. Thank god we mixed things up a bit with less faffing about at the back although there were one or two examples of suicidal play . Fulham did not press us with any intensity which really suited us.

Did you watch it? Regardless of how Fulham have been playing recently they were poor in front of goal today, but they made plenty of chances. We were careless in possession, soft in the tackle and clueless in the final third. On another day we’d have been out of it by half time.

I’m not sure who it was either but I’m fair sure the main commentator called him tony and he said he’d scored against us at craven cottage many moons ago.

Second balls means the punt would have to find a claret shirt. It rarely did. KBRFC has a valid point. Far too many on here ripping Trafford BEFORE he gets anything wrong, and if he does get something wrong, it’s magnified massively. He makes a good save, he’s a show pony and doing it for the cameras. He makes a great save and it’s a save he should be making. It’s poor.

Massive Pope fan btw.

It means that they wouldn’t have to be as precise / to feet - more hang them up to your front two or whatever.

Just think we’d counter and play out quicker with more precision with the Kosovan mad man who I think is an absolute genius.

Anyway, I can agree with the hyper scrutiny but that’s what happens rightly or wrongly when you come in on a relatively big fee and you’re also keeping someone else out of the side that has a bit.
