Clarets v Bournemouth match thread

[Supersub6]

ONly 35% possession, however, we had exactly the same amount of shots on target as The Cherries. Premier League football at its best with just 2 shots on target in the whole game. In addition a caution for a player who made an excellent challenge, won the ball but was deemed to have been using too much force!

Football at the top level is getting worse by the week for those who pay good money to watch it.

Fair comment Swiss.Didnt we have a goal disallowed in the first half by A dodgy VAR DECISION again. ��
Not seen it so I can't say what i thought about the decision ��

We did have a goal disallowed. A very, very rare attack and a good ball in. It looked like the Bournemouth player played Anthony onside, but not given for offside.

Just watched and listened to a what I could as just a leaving Budapest but we were woefull
They should have been 3- 4 in front at least.

I?m grateful for the point but I still think for all his brave words this week Parker doesn?t know his best 11 and we don?t offer enough tactically - physically
We just don?t have the ball

One of our problems is that for too many, the speed of play is simply too fast in the PL. They are harassed when they get on the ball and make sloppy passes as a result. We were second to so many balls today and the passing accuracy was well below that of Bournemouth.

What about the penalty we should have had for the rugby tackle on our player?

Josh Laurent was offside.The same man who gave them their goal assist.

He slipped on his arse FFS, give the lad a break. The foul on Flemming was a stonewall penalty, the Anthony goal should not have been disallowed and since when does a player not get the decision after being wrestled to the ground? No-one likes us.

Stop throwing your toys out of the pram BT.For 80 minutes we were absolutely woeful.xG = 0 and shots on goal = 0.Laurent was clearly offside for the disallowed goal.
The main problem is not the team-it is the manager.He is useless.We only change tactic once we go behind.JBL offers very little, Anthony offers nothing yet they are starting in front of our creative players.Flemming should not be starting in front of Broja as was proved yesterday.We have the players able to compete and go at teams but the manager`s tactics and team selections stink of trying not to lose instead of trying to win.Weeds and Sunderland are showing us the way but if we stick with Cardy mark my words we will be relegated by April.

One of the lowest quality epl games I have ever seen. But a much better result than I expected thanks to Ewards and Broja. The game changed totally when Edwards came on, why he is not starting is a mystery to me. If SP can't see that the Edwards/Broja combination
could give us a chance to avoid relegation we are doomed. Anthony and JBL are not going to bring anything to the party and should not be considered. Tresor remains a mystery but has got to be given a chance. On this performance Worral deserves consideration as a partner to Esteve. Yes, Leeds and Sunderland are doing well but there is still a long way to go.

Judging by the acquisitions Cardy prefers big guys.

However, Messi isn’t exactly a giant and Maatson is holding his own at Villa, so I can’t see why his size should hold him back.

We saw against Bournemouth that he is not afraid to drive into the box with the ball, which creates three opportunities: a cross for Broja to feed off; a chance to shoot; and the possibility of being brought down for a penalty. No one else is doing that on a consistent basis,
