I’m not an expert
Thought first half we were decent - as we usually are - on the ball and front foot. Burnley looked awful and did exactly what I said pre-game 1) slow the game down and 2) get it wide and lump balls into the box. Second half, Burnley were equally as shit at playing football but did what they needed to.
Targett/Taylor - hopefully that puts to bed the argument for Taylor to be our 3rd choice left back. The bloke is a chocolate tea pot, he’s got away with not being targeted defensively in this league but Burnley knew when he came on he’d win nothing against a bloke about half a foot taller.
Secondly and more importantly, Targett has stuck 3 or 4 quality balls in the box today from the bi-line. That’s exactly what we needed outside of Jack.
Marvellous - I’ll say it, was marvellous.
SJM - good game overall
JG - needs to learn. Doesn’t always pass at the right time as Trez will confirm but that’s not the only example.
Wesley - needs to play the way he’s facing more.
Mings - is it me or does he want to foul sometimes? He’s physical and I’m happy with that, but he gives away some stupid free kicks sometimes.
It’s a decent performance for 60 minutes, unfortunately as we have found out many times already this season if you can’t continue the scoring you always give the opposition a chance.
Credit to the Burnley fans thought they were really good. I guess it’s easier when you steal a point at a big stadium in a good atmosphere
