Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread

[Buxtonclaret]

I thought it was blatant on that replay.

[gawthorpe_view]

Surprised they didn't change it to a penalty!

[NewClaret]

Got lucky there

[Cazaris]

We're playing so narrow, Chelsea playing wide is causing major issues

[NewClaret]

Surprised they didn't change it to a penalty!

Could’ve done

[CoolClaret]

Need to calm it down a bit for a few minutes.

[wilks_bfc]

I don’t even think it hit is head did it?

[Buxtonclaret]

Need to tighten up.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

I'll tell you what time and time again so far Vitinho is nowhere near the ball or play. I feel sorry for him

[Tricky Trevor]

VAR loves us. Let’s hope it lasts until May.

[Buxtonclaret]

Didn't look like it did on that last replay.
Looked blatant to me.

[Pickles]

Nowhere near Premier League level unfortunately, especially at full back.

[IanMcL]

Shot Cullen. Saved

[gawthorpe_view]

Could’ve done

Yep.

[CoolClaret]

Not Vitinho's fault, he isn't a left back.

If Chaz can do 45 I'd stick him on for Amdouni and get Vitinho back out on the right.

[claretgimmer]

How come we are so shite defensively, so disorganised and weak, yet going forward we`re not that bad

[Funkydrummer]

I know their movement is excellent but we do really need to
mark them a lot tighter. Commentators are spot on when they say
we need to stop giving the ball away so cheaply.

Attacking wise, we are what we are and we just have to persevere.

We defend in much more space than we tended to do for most of Dyche's tenure in the PL, very hard for the CBs when they're running back to goal and the fullbacks have little protection.

It's been a lack of control and technique on a few occasions too

[ksrclaret]

It’s a complete mystery how the manager looks at his squad and concludes than an out of position Vitinho is a better option at left back than Taylor. Getting pulled all over the shop down our left.

At least Taylor has some Dyche qualities drilled into him.

[KRBFC]

Really good half an hour so far

[Taffy on the wing]

Bruun-Larson has been very impressive so far........Amdouni not so much.

Taylors been one of our better players overall, too.

[4:20]

They're dangerous are Chelsea but so are we. Need to battle it out today.

[burnleymik]

I genuinelu wonder where we would be if Muric had started the season.

[CoolClaret]

I genuinelu wonder where we would be if Muric had started the season.

Bonkers isn't it.

Some on here thought I was mad - he's our most talented player by far. Insane ability.

[burnleymik]

Assignon doing very well despite the silly yellow early on.

[Buxtonclaret]

I genuinelu wonder where we would be if Muric had started the season.

His distribution is streets ahead of Trafford.

[Pickles]

From a really good position, Vitinho loses the ball instead of crossing it. Chelsea counter and really should've scored.

[ksrclaret]

Taylors been one of our better players overall, too.

Yes he has, I think he’s 4th or 5th in the average player ratings so far.

[Cazaris]

Risky from Muric, but I've learned to love the insanity!

[bobinho]

Bonkers isn't it.

Some on here thought I was mad - he's our most talented player by far. Insane ability.

[IanMcL]

Another Bruun Larsen FK falters.
Muric defends as a right back

[NewClaret]

Crap FK

Aro doing Aro things

[ClaretPete001]

How come we are so shite defensively, so disorganised and weak, yet going forward we`re not that bad

If you look at the Modric chance we had 8 players around the Chelsea box but when Vitinho gave the ball away they broke quickly and we just didn't respond.

Modric should have scored really. If you have 8 players in and around the box away at Chelsea you will look good going forward but not defending.

[NewClaret]

JBL wasting all our chances

[CoolClaret]

He is.

We are creating so much more going forward from his distribution.

Bit of a mad man but it's needed with a high line playing as a sweeper.

[Buxtonclaret]

Another good move.
Come Burnley.

[Cazaris]

Never a penalty in a million years, how has he given that?

[KRBFC]

Never a fuckin penalty

[whiffa]

Another game decided by officials not football.

[gawthorpe_view]

Terrible decision

[burnleymik]

Gtfo. No way. Shoulder to shoulder. Joke

[Taffy on the wing]

Darren England ruins the game!..........never a penalty.

[Buxtonclaret]

Disgusting

[CoolClaret]

You are joking me.

[Cazaris]

Mudrik rolls the wrong way, if Assignon's push causes him to go down he'd roll over left, not right. That's a shambolic decision. Absolute dive.

[jojomk1]

Hisd arm up at neck height doesn't look good

[JimmyRobbo]

Joke of a decision by the ref.

[burnleymik]

He had an awful touch, no way is that a foul. Fkin joke of a decision.
