Just hope Frank has drilled into the players that we can’t afford to relax, a win tomorrow and we have the advantage over Burnley, then on to relegated Watford on Wednesday.

It’s a no from me, one trick pony using pace and strength to run past, through defences, then shits the bed and can’t deliver a decent strike or cross.

It did, have they never seen Schmichael and the time he takes on goal kicks ?

Absolutely right, but I think we seem to be performing better under pressure atm, might be a good thing.

I’ve just had a look at a Burnley forum, they had a thread on our game yesterday! it’s funny to see how we all view games differently, have a look for yourselves. https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=61749

Did his job well again yesterday, not brilliant but enough to keep the defenders occupied, most importantly for me was the fantastic welcome he got from the crowd when he came on, no player will perform if he’s booed onto the pitch as he has been previously ( after dog shit performances early doors )

Still throws flares though

That’s all we can rely on, and that’s what Frank will be saying to the squad.

I think he’s gone in the next window, what worries me is having been so poor this season when he has played plus the injury which seem to re occur, his value will have dropped, last season it was banded about at £60m, if we can get that I’d snap anyone’s hand off after this season. It really pains me to say that as I’ve always really rated him,and thought he was a true blue, it’s a big disappointment to see it ending this way. FWIW I don’t care about his off field interests if he’s doing his on field job well.

In that context absolutely, he’s vocal with our players, and niggles at opponents all game, with clever little taps, pushes, standing in front to slow the game, we need Godfrey and Branthwaite to do the same, Keane doesn’t have it in him at all, he’s just too nice, Holgate can be an arse but gets sent off too easily for diving in recklessly. If only Mina could play 30 plus games a season.

I needed a second

He played a very cool calm clearance out from our box towards the end, didn’t hoof it, found one of our MF, the start of attack, we need more of that.

Didn’t look fit in the warm up to my eyes

Spot on, any feelings Burnley had of taking the upper hand will have gone after today.

Bloody hell that’s not good for my heart, but an immense performance from everyone including the crowd, and lively the stewards didn’t clear us out too quickly so we could enjoy win.

Pickford made sure we got what we deserved. All others did their bit, and I’m a proud mad bastard

Setting of shortly to join in the 12 o’clock welcome for the players, really think the crown can play a big part today, and need to get behind, and stay behind the team regardless of how the game pans out. It feels like everyone outside of the club and it’s fans is willing us to drop, we need to take control of our destiny and get the point. COYB!

The game is Sunday not Saturday, we’re well and truely fucked if the team turns up ready to on Saturday

All spot on for me, well said, and I think most are clinging on to the last sentence being right.

And so are you for not taking your chance!

Myko edged it for me, kept one of the best players in the world quiet for most of the game. Gordon ran him close, and very unlucky not to get the penalties IMO.

Fucks sake, Souness is such a twat.

At 0-0 I thought we had a chance of nicking a point possibly 3, as soon as they scored that disappeared as they could stroke the ball around across the back, and they started to pull us out of position, creating more space for them to play and creat chances. I’m happy we kept the score down to 2 and not hurting us more with the goal difference. I will keep having faith we can get the points we need until it’s not possible.

Got to be happy with that so far, need to keep doing to same and be more clinical when we do get a chance on the break or from a set piece. I don’t see 22 players still being on the pitch at the end though, could be one or two from either side.

Come on blues, surprise us all………… please
