From TV

Muric 10 - oh how we have missed you.
Assignon - 8
O Shea - 6
Esteve - 7
Taylor - 8
Cullen - 8
Berge - 8
Odobert- 7 Needs to play on the left though. Never A 10 or 8
JBL - 8 (plus 1 for a quality pen)
Vitinho - 7
Fofana - 7 (plus 1 for goal, minus 2 for that shocking miss)

[FCBurnley]

Muric 10 showed us everything Trafford never did
Assignon 8 very good
O’Shea 6 so close to being O ****
Esteve 7
Taylor 8
Vitinho 8
Berge 8
Cullen 8
BL 7
Odebert 6
Fofana 6 how did he not score 3

I am certain that had we had Muric in all season we would have been safe.

Finally a win, but hardly convincing and against ten men for most of the game too.

Subs were once again baffling.

[ISpeds00]

Muric 10 - Man of the Match easily
Assignon 8 - Played very well
Taylor 7
O'Shea 3 - Crap. Bring back Ekdal or Beyer
Esteve 7
Cullen 7
Berge 7 - Excellent passer but overplays - scared to take a shot
Vitinho 8 - Excellent again
JBL 7
Odobert 5 - Poor today
Fofana 6 - Missed a sitter, but made up for it

[DCWat]

Sort of expected the silly marks for Muric, but come on, let’s have some balance. He played well, we’ve missed what he brings, but 10’s, “out of this world”, give over!!

Fofana 6

Amdouni 6 (had two efforts on goal and tracked back thought he did much better)

We should have been out of sight. The fact we weren’t and the fact we’ve won so few games meant the inevitable nerves kicked in, but they tried hard and played well (up to that last ten minutes)

What are you scoring him then DC?

I know it wasn't a difficult task but he made the 1st and 2nd best save of the season today. Not bad to say Trafford is the 'shot stopper'

[Vino blanco]

Sort of expected the silly marks for Muric, but come on, let’s have some balance. He played well, we’ve missed what he brings, but 10’s, “out of this world”, give over!!

After the bloody awful keeping we’ve seen from young Trafford this season, I think it’s totally fair to give him a 10. I will be doing so later when I give my ratings.

[bumba]

Muric 9 MOM with two worldie saves and outstanding distribution, fast and precise!
Assignon 7
Taylor 7
O'Shea 5
Esteve 8 his best game for us
Vitinho 8 probably his best game too
JBL 8
Berge 8
Cullen 7
Odobert 6
Fofana 7

Amdouni 6 felt sorry for him

I've seen goalkeepers, and outfield players have far more outstanding games and not get 10s...it was to be expected though.... Very rarely is anyone deserving of a 10... Or a 3.

[Awayfromburnley]

Muric 8
Assignon 8 much better and focussed
Taylor 7
O'Shea 6 shocking backpass but marshalled Toney well
Esteve 8
Vitinho 8 that track back got him extra point
JBL 7
Berge 7 half a yard and he would have had 2 or 3 shots from the D today
Cullen 7
Odobert 6
Fofana 7

Amdouni 6 worked harder than usual
Foster 6
Brownhill 6

That's good scoring, but if that had been agaisnt 11 men I doubt we would have won and need to be much more clinical against Chelsea or we will get tonked

[Buxtonclaret]

Muric 8 Well played.
Assignon 7
O Shea 6 - some errors & sometimes poor judgement. He kept a lid on Toney though, for the most part.
Esteve 6
Taylor 7
Vitinho 7
Cullen 7
Berge 7
Bruun Larsen 6

[Dodobdobodobo]

Totally agree about O’Shea. Toney hardly had a sniff. Dara won almost every header against him.

[DCWat]

What are you scoring him then DC?

Probably an 8.

Alongside the likes of Esteve and Cullen, who I thought were also very good today, without forgetting Vitinho’s excellent contribution (saving a likely goal at one end, which lead to the second).

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Muric 9 looked a proper team with a man in the nets

Assignon 7
Taylor 7
Esteve 7
Vitinho 8 thought he was excellent today. If he can add end product to his game we have a gem on our hands

JBL 8 need to get him playing 90 minutes because we can’t replace him off the bench

Cullen 8

Berge 6 for god’s sake man shoot when you get close to the goal. Obviously under instructions to try and walk it in the net.

Odo 5 quite wasteful again I thought

Fofana 8 I like him at least he plays with a smile on his face. Appears he knows what a good job he has!

Amdouni 3 can’t afford to play him again this season. Took us down to ten men

Brownhill 5 couldn’t tell he was playing, hide and seek champion

[BurnleyFC]

Probably an 8.

Alongside the likes of Esteve and Cullen, who I thought were also very good today, without forgetting Vitinho’s excellent contribution (saving a likely goal at one end, which lead to the second).

Cullen was very good.

I’m thinking what could’ve been if we hadn’t dropped Muric and cast Cullen aside so early in the season.

[ISpeds00]

Was out MOM easily

Difficult to see why anybody except Traffords mother would mark Muric less than a 9
Amazing save from O Shea back pass
Great save from Wissa 1 on 1
Won every cross he came for
Read the game brilliantly
Distribution was first class. Maybe 1 pass that cost us possession
Some great long passes and free kicks
No chance with goal
And we won
So let’s see your list of his mistakes

[bfcjg]

Muric 9 mom, great saves,distribution and spirit.
Assignon 7
Taylor 8 superb
Esteve 7
O’Shea 7 solid against a big forward line
Cullen 8 superb, was everywhere
Berge 8 superb,was everywhere
Bruun Larsen 8 brilliant strange bringing him off.
Odobert 7
Vitinho 8 what a motor
Fofana 7 lead line well

Amdouni 6 greedy.

[ElectroClaret]

10 equals a worldie. It was a really good performance but hardly that.

10 equals a worldie. It was a really good performance but hardly that.

He was certainly better than good 7 or very good 8. Not sure how many really good is ?

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Muric 8 Commanding

Not 10 for a start.

I’m leaving it until tomorrow when they’ve called down.
I have also wanted him to start games, 8 would be fair though

Muric 10 (extra points for the back pass save and the 1 on 1. I don't think he made a mistake and distribution was fast and good if that's not a worldie performance what is)?

O’Shea 5? nothing but complete agenda driven nonsense. One mistake aside he won absolutely everything against one of the leagues best forwards today.

Watch the game again , and you will see you are wrong yet again ,

Totally agree and turning the player ratings into a farce

[Ric_C]

Not sure what happened the last 15 mins, but other than that a very good display

Amdouni 4 - time to give him a break. His confidence is shot
Foster -5 Good to see him back, clearly nowhere fit yet

Glad and sad to see what we can do with a decent keeper in goal, why it's taken VK 28 games to realise this is one of the most confounding situations in my time watching Burnley.

Also for a bit of a joke, 28/38 games is near damn it 75%
One for the conspiracy theorists out there

I thought we looked more like a team of men today, rather than kids.
