The world's worst goalkeeper!
Clueless

Poor goalkeeping

Boss Hogg · Post by **Boss Hogg** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

You just knew Norris wouldn’t save that. I’m sorry but he’s no good.

diamondpocket · Post by **diamondpocket** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

even with 5 in midfield we still leave spaces open. And our centre halves continue to back off. How many goals this season have we let in like this: backing off, players with space to run forward to.....very poor.

Oh Norris

Appalling GK.
We desperately need a 2nd choice keeper and ship these two out ASAP.
Norris is the worst keeper to play for us in a very long time...

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

Shades of Wayne Russell to his performances so far.

Shocking goalkeeping.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

Midfield absolutely shambolic there. No picking up or closing down.

Norris hopeless.

Norris, move your feet.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

That was dreadful goalkeeping. I think BPF saves that nevermind Pope.

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

Awful from Norris but to be fair nobody closed him at all. He telegraphed that shot so much he sent it by Classical runner

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

Newcastle ahead at Fulham, guess who yes Joe Willock again, what a signing he's been for them, and no wonder they went to make it permanent, 7 games on the spin he's scored in now.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

Once again all covering and no closing down. Shows we rely so much on Pope making those saves.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:28 pm

Defence werre equally guilty for standing off and letting him have a free shot. We definitely need better cover in goal and defence.

claretgoss · Post by **claretgoss** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:28 pm

Four shots on target against Norris so far this week, four goals conceded

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:28 pm

Terrible keeping and where the hell was Dunne running!? Dunne’s run opened up the space for the shot but the keeping was dismal.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:28 pm

I think his record is now 4 shots 4 goals conceded

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:29 pm

Whilst Norris was awful, he could expect someone to bother getting within 5 yards of the attacker

Dy1geo · Post by **Dy1geo** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:29 pm

How many goals this season has there been with us backing off?

Dyche not selecting Vydra and going one upfront is shocking in a game like this

Top Claret · Post by **Top Claret** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:29 pm

Goal keeper should have done better but what about the centre halfs backing off. Ffs go and close it down

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:30 pm

Dunne looks so disinterested, and it was is ball to close down for the goal

ClaretMov · Post by **ClaretMov** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:30 pm

He's saved a shot on target....get in

5 shots on target 4 goals

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:30 pm

I’m sorry but, many people don’t rate BPF, but he’s head and shoulders better than Norris

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:31 pm

I'm amazed he played him again after the other night. Any keeper can concede, but I've never seen anyone look so nervous, even before a ball was kicked. He will never make it at this level I'm afraid, and we need a better back up to BPF.

That said, why do we insist on backing off to players running at us, someone should go to him, even if it's just to slow his progress. Really poor defending all round

It was straight at him and he still managed to spill it.

buzzclarets79 · Post by **buzzclarets79** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:31 pm

Yet again we concede from letting a player run at us and back off and back off. Put a challenge in, close him down. Lost count the number of goals conceded in this way.

8 conceded in 3 games now.

Attacking play no pace and no creativity. Just hit it high to Wood and hope.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:31 pm

Taxi for Norris definitely, and the jury's still out on BPF, but he's got plenty to prove if he wants to remain at Burnley.

Equally that goal can't be totally attributed to him, where was the closing down from anyone.

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:32 pm

Poor attempt by the goalkeeper. They will feel confident to shoot at will from now on.

Did you see what I did there?

Yep someone needs to move forward, someone covers. Basic defending. We can't afford to drop off with Norris in goal.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:32 pm

How on earth has Norris found himself ahead of BPF.

The guy is clearly lower league fodder.

Get this season done with, get the squad fit and for God’s sake make some bloody signings.

Back to the old lump it into the box for Wood with Vydra missing. Pretty awful to watch for the neutral let alone the fans.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:33 pm

Wood without Vydra is like a cart with no horse !

Head and shoulders,surely you’re thinking of Joe Hart ?

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:33 pm

Poor goalkeeping - you don't expect shots from that distance to go in.

I seem to recall that was something Dyche has said historically when we went through a period of conceding like this. Don't know why but I seem to recall it being a game against Sunderland that we had.

Up to that point - no team had really had a chance.

Disinterested? It's his chance to shine. He should be playing his heart out.

Sheffield United...now the second lowest scorers in Premiership history.

I think even Mark Kendall looked better. Since Tony Woodworth maybe.

Dreadful game. I knew we would make hard work of this.

Blyclaret · Post by **Blyclaret** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:37 pm

Horrific.
And just for ur information another goal where a player ran from centre of field. No tackle from 2 centre half again tarkowski backing off. Very similar to first against Leeds.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:38 pm

I am not sure who told Jimmy Dunne that he was Rio Ferdinand, but please can one of his current coaches tell him to not attempt ridiculous backheels on the edge of his own box.

Off the woodwork following that. Ridiculous.
