Clarets vs Bournemouth - Match Thread

[JimmyRobbo]

O’Shea is nowhere near good enough

You might be right.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Absolute **** show again good luck with the ST renewals

They might need a price cut not a price freeze next season imo

[Buxtonclaret]

And that's why he should be withdrawn, it's an experience this season that he might not recover from.

I feel sorry for the lad tbh

Been saying, along with others, for ages now.
VK is utterly destroying this lad.
It's just wrong.

[TsarBomba]

Last year’s team, at full strength and playing well, would have beaten this average Bournemouth lot out of sight. It’s so sad to watch this current team being outclassed by average teams.

We did last season. Played them off the park.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

We got worse when Amdouni came on, granted we weren't great second half up to that point but our chances soon dried up with his introduction

[warksclaret]

The evidence of any coaching was non existent. How often does a good move end up with Trafford: how much fannying about in their box rather than shooting; and O Shea what the hell is he doing in the first minute heading the ball out of the throwers armsand getting booked

[FCBurnley]

Plenty of effort in first half and unlucky to be 1 down. Poor in second once Bournemouth stepped it up. Ref clearly biased. Kompany has no clue. And clearly neither has Pace. Where has Cullen been all season? He was our best player by a country mile

[groove]

Idiotic from O Shea that,should be fined.

Haven't watched it back yet. But O'shea had just nearly vaulted the hoarding into the seats. Who gave the throw taker the ball so quick? When O'shea was still off the field?

[burnleymik]

Fofana had a weak header on target in the 94th minute
Any other highlights from him that I may have missed ?

His first touch today was awful.

[groove]

Easy 3 points for Bournemouth. Sat deep, confident we couldn't hurt them. Safe in the knowledge we'd give them something on a counter attack.

[JarrowClaret]

Football fans make me laugh 1 week we are crap there is no effort I don’t mind getting beat as long as they put the effort in sack the manager etc.

When they put the effort in but still get beat the same fans go on a similar rant with no acknowledgement of that effort laughable

[superdimitri]

They have secondary balls sitting on cones. Players just grab them as soon as they like.

[warksclaret]

Absolutely right to give a manager another chance in the Championship. Sadly our manager is damaged goods now. If he was any good we would have outwitted several teams and taken scalps in the PL, and if he and his coaching staff were any good we would not have been fannying about like we did today and most of the season. Dyche got a chance to bring us back up, but we got over 30 points that season when relegated, with a team of free transfers

[boyyanno]

I thought Bournemouth were about as bad as it gets today. We didn't play badly but it's just the same old really. Poor defending, too slow, still don't know our best 11, still don't know our best formation, still don't know what our style is.

The effort is there from some based on the first half- I'm not sure about the quality, but we feel a bit leaderless at the moment and we need to find ourselves.

[morninbob]

Wherever you stand on the Trafford debate, keep playing him isn't doing anything for his long term development.

[warksclaret]

We are never going to trouble teams . How many bad crosses, touches in the box, and passing it back from good positions did we see today

[Colburn_Claret]

Agreed

It doesn't do anything positive for Muric either.

[burnleymik]

I genuinely think with Muric in there they would have struggled with that counter, as Muric was just switched on to those balls over the top. Trafford looks absolutely bereft of confidence.

I really hoped today we would get something after that start, but in all honesty Bournemouth had some great quality chances and despite us playing quite well we didn't really threaten. I knew when Amdouni came on we would look worse and we did.

I just don't see how we pick up anymore points this season and morale is going to get lower and lower to the point that it's going to make it hard to recover next season.

Just 11 more games to suffer through this season, unless the board make the brave call.

Semenyo had another two really good chances, could have been a 0-4 loss and they couldn’t complain.

[Rick_Muller]

For all the crying out for Benson, we finally see why he’s nowhere near starting for us

[Mark the Claret]

For all the crying out for Benson, we finally see why he’s nowhere near starting for us

20 minutes, wow.

[Rick_Muller]

20 minutes, wow.

Yup, and VK sees a lot more in training and that explains why he’s not picked.

[northeastclaret]

But how will you be able to come on here and moan if you're not watching it?

Square that circle.

It wouldn’t be the first time for superjoneyfrancis . Once before earlier this season he admitted he hadn’t watched the match but was on here moaning, shortly after the matched finished.

Probably only way he can get an erection is when he gets it off when he’s winging.

I just hope he has going to watch Man City now.
