VAR can't possibly overrule this, can it? Fingers crossed for a miracle.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:27 pm

We’re far too powder puff and you can’t see it changing until January at the earliest.

Ramseys first touch again.

Ah well, looking forward to the championship next season anyway

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:28 pm

We’ve completely thrown this game away. Can we rewind to the 41st minute.

can see us throwing one in again Hope not but sterlings pace is just too much

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:28 pm

Is this passing around at the back meant to be entertaining?

Petersa · Post by **Petersa** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:29 pm

Where oh where is Jack Cork when you need him......sat on his backside on the bench....

Questions really need to be asked at Board level now, assuming they aren't already. Everything is wrong.

Thanks for cheering me up with that. Good try but that is funny.

Now's no time for humour.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:29 pm

Six or seven passes round the back then either pump it forward or pass it to central midfield where the recipient has three men around him. Our midfield isn't good enough on the ball.

That may actually be a good thing if true.

He needs to come to his senses and have a mighty big rethink about his approach before we're cut adrift and doomed.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:29 pm

Foster should be our MOM by a country mile.

Again.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:29 pm

Not sure what happens to us at half time but this isn’t the first time we’ve come out and played utter s***e

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:29 pm

Every single time we concede a goal against a ‘prem’ team we look like absolutely crumbling.

Only Forest and Luton we haven’t rolled over and let the other team have a relatively easy 3 points.

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:29 pm

Defensive collapse there. Sterling unmarked- think that should show he's just a bit too good for any of ours.
Ramsay poor, really not offering much in general so far to me. Surprised at no Brun Larsen.
Our midfield just can't keep or use the ball well enough.

Shocking . Was Cullen injured ?

Desperate performance from us today.

Awful.

So many players are so off it.

Don't think Ramsey has found a Burnley shirt with a pass yet... Come on lad!

Give over. We’ve been poor second half but they are far from ‘proper shite’. Sterling been outstanding.

Only good thing is I’ve got 5 points on super six from the current score

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:32 pm

How to commit football suicide in three easy lessons. Too naive, too light-weight, too disorganised. Sorry Vincent, poor staring eleven today and that's what happens.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:32 pm

We've been crap. Again.

It Is What It Is · Post by **It Is What It Is** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:32 pm

Our passing from the back has been nothing short of woeful. All their goals have come as gifts from us
The only good goal today was ours

tally · Post by **tally** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:32 pm

Just need a (lucky) break and we are back in it (almost)

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:32 pm

Well, we've learned that we don't look the same with DOS at the back instead of AAD and Cullen is a big difference maker.

boyyanno · Post by **boyyanno** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:33 pm

These and United might be two big clubs but they've both been poor against us. Unless Luton, Bournemouth and Sheff United finish below us then we look doomed.

Sad to say I don't think he has any idea what is his best team and formation is

Larsen has a great cameo at Luton and is still sat on the bench

Vitinho and Tresor left us totally exposed - yes Sterling has great pace so you play people and a system to try and nullify that

burnley007 · Post by **burnley007** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:33 pm

Can we have a vote for worst performance from a Burnley player today?

It's such a tough call.

Vitinho? Berge? Ramsey?

My vote goes to the absolutely abysmal Mike Tresor. Did we keep the receipt?? He's garbage.

ClaretMat · Post by **ClaretMat** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:33 pm

They have created nothing, every goal was hugely preventable.
It is a little worrying that Chelsea haven't had to play well at all and are going to win this comfortably.

I love Corky but he's 4 years too old for this level. Their midfield would walk past him he's far too slow and doesn't have the mobility or passing range to offset it at PL level.

burnley007 · Post by **burnley007** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:34 pm

We are definitely 1 of the absolute worst teams in the League this season.

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:34 pm

to many changes I'm afraid how you going to get a settled side playing together when you are changing all the time and then bringing them on when damage is done especially after winning at Luton. Not saying we should be beating Chelsea but put your best team available out .

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:34 pm

Annoying as we made them look very ordinary for most of the first half but the confidence had just drained out of everyone.

Get Kolo on the left for Christs sake

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:35 pm

Why didn’t he get a second booking for kicking the ball away !

Exactly this. We just aren't doing enough to give ourselves a chance of picking up a point or three. This isn't a good Chelsea side. But they've had to do very little at all to get four goals against us.

It's poor.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:35 pm

Proper school boy stuff.

Somebody said it last week, but we’re such an easy game for most of these sides.

Roberts given the same treatment as Vitinho

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:35 pm

Some major errors by VK today. Roberts should have started with Larsen ahead of him to close Sterling out. Can’t believe we are resting players ahead of an International break.
