I disagree
All 3 subs weakened us, rather than helped us.
Were you at the same game numb nuts!!??
Unlike Wednesday night, at least we had a proper go today. I have no complaints at the performance whatsoever. From 1 to 11 they worked their bollocks off, chasing and harrying high up the pitch, closing down, and on most afternoons we'd have gone in at least 2 goals up at the break. Didn't happen, but they showed heart and appetite for the fight. I'll forgive anything when they do that, even if Burnley had ended up sneaking it (which they very nearly did).
OP has simply looked at the zero in the GF column and declared it "toothless", without the slightest acknowledgement of the shift the team put in today. Seriously, were you even there @crookie ? I'd wager you could look at the Burnley messageboard tonight and see plenty of posts along the lines of "we got away with it today".
Give your head a wobble.

We never looked liked scoring today and that really worries me. 3 subs made but absolutely toothless

We had four good to great chances today but our finishing was awful. We bossed the first half but ran out of steam in the second half and our lack of strength in depth really showed, Hemed gave them far fewer problems than Murray, Brown was WOEFUL (again) and Izquierdo wasn't on for long enough. For me Hughton got all three subs wrong and while our work rate and chance creation, in the first half at least, was excellent, our dreadful finishing does indeed render us toothless. Another failure to score is the bottom line

Yes, yes we did. Might have escaped your attention but we were awarded a penalty...
Plus I seem to recall a couple of really decent saves by Pope in the Burnley goal.
We'll buy a break at some point.
You weren't the only one to notice the rather toothless warm up shooting.Probably when we buy a striker.
Murray's all round game was fantastic today with the exception of the thing he's paid to do. He could still be running round now on his own and not score.
Me and @scoffers were watching the pre match warm up shooting practice. He missed all but one in that too.
