I will take the 3 points from a shite performance and will be glad to the back of Burnely

[John102]

Another 3 points on the march to 96.

Sometimes you have to win ugly and we did, nice to see we have it in us.

[Red_or_Dead]

We got 3 points.  That's all that matters.  Fuck the worm eating cunt.

Fuck that was a hard watch at times but I thought we controlled it much better 2nd half, especially the last half hour. One to forget bout and be glad we got the win. 

As soon as Thiago came on we controlled the game.

Massive 3 points. That was an absolutely horrid game, grit, determination all the cliches there. Really getting some momentum now.

Yep, dull component of what will hopefully be a much greater whole.

Tbf Salah and Mane are probably knackered

Excuses excuses. I've given it 110% today - I'm lying down, eating biscuits and watching a moody stream - so I expect the same effort from the boys.

Burnley fans will be off T' pub now to drown their sorrows with pints of snakebite and a good ol' sing song with the banjo.

Yep. His physical frailty has been irritating, but he’s excellent when he actually plays. 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Excellent result from an average performance. First half quite poor, second half still not good but more controlled and with a bit more quality in the final third we could and should have made it easier.

 

Diffiult conditions, we often struggle in heavy wind, and an opponent that did all they could to make it an aerial battle rather than a game of football.

The kind of games the top teams win.

 

[Mathewbet1]

Pasty.punt.swill. Kick. That’s the Burnley way.

 

[clockspeed]

Allison would currently look good in our midfield

Nonsense. That was a win with the minimum of energy expended.

If we actually catch City, then goal difference could well be the deciding factor. They scored 4 this weekend and we barely looked like we cared about winning.

It was always going to be a hard, physical game. 

[gkmacca]

Thank god that's over!

 

Very well-managed game in the second half, given the ghastly conditions.

 

Some players need to treat Mo's pointing as a suggestion rather than an order as to where to play the ball - there was often no space to get the ball to him in those situations. All in all, though, job done.

[suzy]

Got the 3 points, move on

The conditions were horrendous and Burnley are fighting for their lives. Everyone knows in this league you can't batter everyone every game, based on certain conditions.

 

We were poor in the first half and it was hard, then adjusted well in the second.

[Boss]

Thiago was the best player on the field as soon as he came on. Fabinho deserves the MOTM though. Alisson was also very good.

Banjos. Duelling.

[an tha]

Its a fucking horrible place to go and a horrible team to play against especially in shite conditions and smack bang in the middle of a crazy run of games - including the mad amount of games and minutes salah and mane have played lately.

 

To come away with 3 pts and seemingly unscathed on injury front is spot on.

 

On we go.

[Anubis]

Tough away fixture successfully negotiated. Never looked in any danger in the second half. Job done.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Everyone bangs on about our high back line, as if it's a frailty. I swear it's down to these late flags. The play continues, Alisson has to make a save and pundits ooh and aah over how close we were to conceding. It creates a false view of what's happened.
