MATCH THREAD v Burnley 11/5/24 3pm

[80deg16minW]

Well we still looked like shit....thankfully our defenders can score...

Better going forward second half with MAdders looking a lot more like madders and Bents looking very useful. I am happy.

And then there is VdV.

Should have won by a lot more. I’m worried about Tuesday

It's the PL. A win is a win. Let's move on to the next one, hopefully with our confidence boosted.

 

[Real Deal]

21 attempts with 9 on target is a major improvement.

Against a very poor team though. Doesn't mean much imo.

This.

 

[TQ2Spurs]

We only need 1 point from our remaining games now to get 5th.

This.

Beat City & they'll be talking us up for the title again next year.

I was thinking that after I wrote it!

 

[Welshtel]

Pretty poor really. Can’t see where we go from here. We need players.

Some have clearly switched off for the holidays.

 

[vinniecopenhagen]

Well,we made hard work of it but a wins a win to give us a sniff of catching Villa, you have to live in hope. C.O.Y.S.

 

[steveperryman]

Another double shot of Scotch tonight.

I think Ange's comments about the change in the squad required has naffed with the player's heads. Unwise? Maybe, but it has clearly communicated to the fans what was happening and that probably balances things.

Let's be clear, what he said needed to be said. I reckon he handled it brilliantly because their was a reaction of sorts today.

 

[Matic]

Big points dropped by Newcastle too. Hopefully Chavs drop some too.

 

[TQ2Spurs]

Statistically we are still in with a shout for CL, Villa are 4 points ahead but have to play Liverpool and a bouyant Palace. Beating City would be bitter sweet though.

 

[Real Deal]

Drago looked decent when brought on. After his stinker at Fulham it was good to see.

As the season has progressed we are starting to see who the weak links are in this team. I have been very disappointed with our new leader group over the last few months.

Not if Everton and United show up against Arsenal. That doesn't matter to us though.

I would prefer City for sure but we need to focus on us.

Yeah...Madders is the only one I'd keep. I also think that VdV is emerging as the leader in all the players minds.

 

[Pompey Yid]

Well a win is a win doesn't matter who against, I am pleased, yes there are problems 1 or 2 lol!

From what I listened to, though a wee bit slow we were still the better team, Burnley huffed n puffed like normal, but we were just better! note the just Lol!

Defenders did save our face, but hey that's football, if our forwards and midfielders had had their scoring boots on we would have won by a lot more, simple as that!

So its onwards to play MC mmmm!
Can we win? Lol!
Should we win? Lol!

Oh yes Sarries won 20-41 away at Bristol Bears, so COYS both teams.
