Hi all,
Personally I thought the second half performance was a lot better defensively. Not the greatest performance overall but it's points on the board and hopefully the start of another good run. 🙏🏻

Up the reds!

I thought Klavan was woeful. Far too slow for the PL.

Agree Kate but very nervous towards the end of the game. Burnley could and possibly should have scored. Ecstatic with the 3 points tho.

Got to agree, they actually handled the Burnley long balls relatively well.
If Barnes could play the ball half as well as he plays his man then he'd be a world beater! Well done to Can for sticking to it. I thought he was excellent defensively. He was immense in the air against a very physical side and a weak referee.
I think that performance proves just why we need a player like Can in the squad. think we have space for another too. Maybe not as much as we need a ball player in the Alonso mould though. our play can be so slow and predictable against these deep lying defensive teams.

Spot on Shanks. The team stood up to the challenge today and Burnley gave us our most difficult game of the season, IMO cos they were up for it. We came back and turned the game around in the face of great adversity and that has to be commended. However our lethargic start to such games is still a problem and that has to be addressed and 3 points in the bag, makes it easier to work on this issue during the week.

Migs was excellent yesterday. Not many keepers would come that far off the line as it leave them open for ridicule should they misjudge the ball, but he really helped the defence out. Good report from Ed1 on his performance yesterday.

Credit where it's due- Migs didn't have many saves to make but commanded the area well.
