We were not unlucky to lose

Slaphead in Qatar

When Burnley went 1-0 down they stepped it up. Our midfield couldn't stop their wave after wave of attacks. Our defence is so weak. If we hadn't scored own goals Burnley would have scored themselves.

In the second half it looked like we had the better of them but that's only because they sat on their lead. Had they continued going forward they would have scored more goals.

We are basically a soft team and we're going to get relegated.

No shots on target and we deserved to lose??

The Intertoto might not exist anymore, but that doesn't matter. We'll still win it again.

We were denied a cast iron penalty.
MLM was taken out, two footed, in the penalty area, right in front of the ref.
Probably a red card, awful tackle.
Wouldn't have made much difference in all likelihood, given our farcical penalty record.

Tarkowski clearance off the line?

Rico didn't have a save to make.... no shots on target from Burnley at home. Your pessimism levels are justified but your comment is bizarre

My point is when they upped the pressure we looked so vulnerable - sooner or later they would have scored whether it was ogs or otherwise. After they went 2-1 up they sat back a bit hence making us look good

They didn't score any goals so not sure "more goals" would apply?

When your luck is out it stays out. Why these lucky goals are always against us I can´t comprehend. We deserved all 3 points. Cairney came on & the game should have been ours. He has his faults but should play in his best position & Seri should make way. Seri is a luxury we can´t afford.

Exactly.... it is written in the stars at the moment

In my opinion, our biggest problem is our midfield. You win games in midfield. They just dont protect us.

Actually, with our midfield in front of them, I think our defence was amazing to not conced any shots on goal

I agree with Slaphead. They were all over us first half and it was only poor finishing and desperate last ditch defending that stopped us conceding more. We were getting battered down the wings.

Cairney is the luxury not Seri. Seri puts himself about with tackles and running and works hard in addition to passing the ball well and putting in good set pieces. Cairney doesn't do much really, he came on today and played a few short sideways passes but generally slowed down our attack.

We really need to get this window in gear and bring in a few players of Ranieri's choice.
No doubt now that our summer buys were inadequate and don't forget they must have met with Jocanovic's approval.

starting with seri and withdrawing sess guaranteed defeat. we were unlucky but losing was inevitable.

Wrong on both counts. Seri offers more than Cairney and Sess was ineffective. I'm not a big Vietto fan but he had two good shots on target.

Agreed. Some people would criticize Seri even if he had 5 asissts or Vietto if he bagged a hattrick, because they hate them for some reason.

He also always asks for the ball, and is always available in tight spots when others are getting in trouble.

Um, both players looked good when they came on. Cairney circulating passes while Seri dropped back to receive and allowed Chambers to get forward. I'm pretty sure they can play with each other just fine. Both asked for the ball just as intensely. Come on...

You won't win on this Matt!! I see no reason why the 2 of them can't play in the same team, who else have we got?

At the moment the reason is we can't play 4 at the back. If we get better defenders maybe they can both play but whilst we only have two centre mids it should remain Seri and Chambers.
