Can we pretend we are playing away please?

My expert analysis for any blues not at the match or who aren't able to find any running water on the internet().

Both teams a bit blunt at the moment and not creating much. We've had one ropey 5 minutes where Burnley could have threatened but a few bits of last minute defending saved us. Feels like we're comfortable in possession we just can't create anything, ideally we need a creative midfielder which we just don't have in the squad. No ones stood out, naybe Mykolenko and Branthwaite picking up where they left off with solid performances though, Danjuma has been very very quiet to the point where you forget hes on the pitch. Would like Calvert Lewin to be taken off soon just to protect him.

just no urgency at all, happy to let burnley dominate the ball, burnley are propa crap as well.

Danjuma needs hooking. He’s in his own little world.

2–0 we’d ham

This is why I’m not a dyche fan and no most will say who cares as long as we win. But allowing a poor team like Burnley over 60% on your own pitch is embarrassing and we’ve Hardly created anything

I get what you're saying but all that matters is who is winning lad. Burnley are playing nice football but its doing nothing for them. They've not even really had a chance. Obviously we could play a bit better but I would prefer to just win games

New Old Burnley 1, New Burnley 0

To be fair we've done alright with ten players on the pitch.....Danjouma

Flair players are never going to suit a team who has 30% possession most weeks, that’s why trampoline shins doucoure looks good

 

[Sharpies volley]

My god we made hard work of that against a very poor side. We should be destroying teams like this, especially at home. Danjuma is terrible, get him off.

 

[Street end man]

1-0 up against a prem side, playing at half pace to avoid injuries and a place at last in a quarte final beckoning, I'll take that.
Still surprised he went so strong, was hoping to see half a dozen fringe players given a go. Just hope no freak injuries hit us.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We look a bit gassed. That’s about all I can say. Myko needs to either fully commit to the press or mark his man. Kind of got caught in two minds and they got in behind. Onana a bit sloppy. Jack is about the only one that looks fully up for it. At least we got an early goal

 

[Blue Smoke]

Feels like with Dacoure out, the players are disjointed. Onana doesn't look like he knows if to sit back or push up.

 

[Joey66]

Pure hoof ball from us midfield far too deep yet again & Young looks a liability waiting to happen

That's woke you up.
