V Chelsea

[Swissclaret]

Interesting to look at the individual performances.

Defensively, a strong performance from Worral. Calm and assured.

Midfield, Hannibal unlucky to get booked but 100% as ever, wanting the ball and trying to look forwards.

Attack, non existent for most of the match. The Chelsea goal - Flemming strolled back and left the Chelsea player to take his time and pick a pass. It was interesting that once Bashley came on and took the lead, Flemming could drop back and get the goal.

Ward - Prowse excellent. Great delivery, calm and accurate passing.

Spot on Swiss.We could and should have won it but JBL is useless.They should have had a second sending off for the push on Flemming.

Hannibal was very positive driving forward whenever possible. I thought he was the pick of our players. Defensively it was a nightmare start but after that we restricted Chelsea to half chances with Worrall outstanding. JWP provided some quality deliveries at the close and it would not have been undeserved if we had scored a second goal.

A great team effort. Barnes should have been on 15 mins earlier and why is WP not starting. Flemming got the goal but he is not a centre forward, just about zero hold up play. We were fortunate Chelsea went on the defensive for the last 20 mins but a
welcome point. We are not done yet BT, almost but not quite.
Why is a ball played to the feet of a BFC player who is running down the touch line towards his end with an opposition player on his back
considered to be ok. What is he supposed to do? We do it all the time!

I think the centre forward scenario has really stifled us but Parker seems to persist with Fleming when so many on here can see he?s not suited to that role.

His goal yesterday was arriving later when we had a centre forward up top with him - it?s obvious to us but not the management sadly - we still carry too many players though some are just not giving their all imo

At least he?s realized that Hannibal is a better option playing at last.

For someone who ostensibly is not suited to that role army88, he is a lot more likely to hit the onion bag than your hero Foster. How on earth are we ever going to get our money back on the Foster outlay?

Didn?t mention foster at all - when Ashley came on he unsettled them and Fleming arrived later and equalized

If you think Fleming is suited to that role that?s your opinion of course - for me he?s not mobile enough to play up top on his own.

We?ve never played a system that suits foster but none of you lot will be told - there are only two options with our players they?re either good or poor and that?s it.

I however see positives in most of our players and I also think they?d improve again under a different coach with different ideas.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Foster will never improve as long as he has a hole in his arse. He's useless.

I wish I had a pound for every time people said that about our players and they go somewhere else and become better players

I seem to remember not too long ago McNeil was **** and wasn?t premier league standard at Burnley - lo and behold he wasn?t bad at all and still plays in the premier league.

All true.

army, you have to remember though that Burnley fans never give their players stick. They are all up in arms because the Chairman has criticised them for doing so and they all swear that they have never given any player any stick at any time.

Will you ever give up on Foster?

I am amazed that you still bang a drum for him as he is lazy, weak and useless. He was just as useless under Kompany and last season in the championship

I don't rate Flemming but he is twice the player Foster is

Moyes doesn't rate McNeil he was trying to palm him off on Palace in the last window. Palace pulled out of the deal in the 11hr they thought they were getting him for 10 million but Everton said no, they wanted 20.

You only have to read the Everton fans forum (grand old team) they give him dogs abuse, they have from the 1st day he signed. McNeil was gutted when the deal to Palace fell through he was going on a 5 year contract, his misses made a right show of herself on the socials saying that he was treated poorly and left high and dry. Simon Jordan on TS ripped into her calling her entitled.

I honestly can't think of many Burnley players who have left the club and improved significantly

Quite a list there Army. I can't fault Flemming for effort and Foster is not weak or lazy, he makes endless runs for balls that never appear. If I were Foster I would have asked for a transfer long ago. He will never look good playing in the system we have now.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Foster was poor playing under the manager who bought him and he's been shockingly bad under Parker. I've given up on making excuses for him.
