Doucoure definitely cares mate. I'm not a fan of him as a footballer technically speaking but I won't fault his hear or effort. Onana is a tough one, he has moments or glimpses where he can run the midfield on his own but then puts in a tedious job back on a counter. I'll give him benefit of the doubt but I definitely want to see more from him, as we know he can do it but it will only increase his price when he undoubtedly leaves.

His urgency to get back and throw a tackle in was great. I hope Onana was watching it.

Said it in the match day thread about the crowd. If there’s one thing our lot appreciate is someone working their guts off & it will never go unnoticed.

I can really see us getting something from that game. We have an interesting 4 games in quick succession coming up. Chelsea, Forest, Liverpool & Brentford. Imperative that we take points from Forest & Brentford. Chelsea have a cup tie as mentioned above whilst Liverpool have a UCL away day, trip to Fulham & then play us at Goodison in the space of a week. (Whilst also playing West Ham 2 days after us) There is an opportunity to pick up points from places we didn’t expect to get points here.

Well it’s a win but we made that so much harder than it needed to be. Winless run ended so hopefully that leads to more consistent points.

The crowd responding to McNeils 1 man press just shows how much we value honest effort

Fuck we needed that as well

2 massive chances there. Great ball from Gomes

Fucking shoot me

What goal! Vintage Dycheball

Burnley aren’t causing us problems, we are causing our own problems here.

Absolute stinker

Young is absolutely shite

Some good passing play here. All of which has involved Gomes.

Cracking a whiskey now mate

Yeah I feel this way, it’s a 1am kick off so I don’t think I’ll sleep, probably just get hammered actually! Missus is on night shift so at least she won’t have to watch me mentally break down in the lead up.

Oh mate I had this dumb look of disbelief when I saw Godfrey & Young together on the right hand side.

Agree. I do see what you are seeing to an extent Haf, my issue with Onana is on the occasion when he is trotting back to defend a counter attack. This guy seriously could run a midfield on his own. My opinion, in the first 15 or so minutes, he seemed like the only player in our team having a go.

Multiple top top saves that are almost considered routine for him now.

To be fair that short pass he gave away, he was given a hot pass in a tight area. I think Onana looked the most likely at the start to try and dominate the game. If we can get him going at his best, a midfield of Onana, Garner & Gomes could really dominate. I hope we start with those 3 against Burnley. If we are chasing a result, throw Doucoure on for the chaos balls in to the box because he has a real knack for a chance falling to him.

It’s just too many players who lack real technical ability on the ball. Onana is best of them and a midfield with him, Gomes & Garner could move the ball nicely but Gana showed up today defensively. We just need players to start doing it consistently.

To be fair to him, he ran himself in to the ground tonight. All I’ll say, is we looked a lot more like an actual football team when Gomes & Garner came in to midfield. Gana had some loose moments on the ball as per usual but he buzzed around. Onana had some decent moments on the ball but strolled around. We deserved the point from that, much better performance from the squad & credit Dyche for the triple change.

I’ll credit Dyche for the changes, we have looked the best I have seen us for a long time. Also the players, they still seem to be playing for him.

Oh fuck please not another OG seamie

Get in!!! Let’s fucking go! Do not bring Coleman on!!!
