A Game of Two Halves

Sorted!

If Mike Dean had not bottled it we could have won that game, which would have been unjust, but how that handball was not a penalty is beyond me.

VAR continues to court controversy and it was a major surprise Dean was not ushered back to the on field monitor at the start of the second half when the Baggies skipper Kyle Bartley clearly controlled a header by Conor Townsend with an outstretched arm inside his own box. How on earth Burnley were not awarded a penalty defies any logical explanation.

Yes we could have BT, but did you see that free kick just outside their box, we had three men over the ball, Lowton wide right, I think it was Taylor wide left, we tried to find Lowton 10 yards away on the right, but the ball went behind him and rolled gently out for a WBA throw-in. What makes you think we'd have scored from the pen ? The way we played I doubt we would, there wasn't a player in a Burnley shirt on that pitch yesterday you could trust with a ten yard pass, never mind scoring a penalty.

I have just mentioned that on a different thread sinkov. I have no idea why the lads suddenly looked like they were playing on Cloughfold Rec, but by Christ they were $hite yesterday.

And this came just a week after a Telegraph journo said it was the best he'd ever seen us play at Palace. We are an enigma, and when we're bad we are really bad, abysmal. Thing is we still get it right often enough to survive at this level, and we will again this year.

I have this theory, the good teams don't play well all the time, average mid table teams don't play average football all the time, and the bottom teams aren't poor all the time. The good teams play well in most games, mid-table teams play well in about half their games, and bottom teams don't play well very often, but they do on occasion.

We play well in enough games to survive, we just forget that after a bad game.

Have a look at Fulham’s next 6 games- they won’t win any of them.

We are averaging just over a point a game and that will be enough for us to see what Alan Pace intends for next season's EPL campaign.
