Good luck to them . A decent result. But come off it. Burnley scored 2 goals (great finish from Hendricks and great bit of finishing from Ashley Barnes) from two set pieces where they rival er, us in the goals per set piece stakes. But a lot of forward and attacking play or box to box counter attacking ?
And yep, they definitely had players working hard because they had only 23% possession , and gave the ball away a lot (59% pass accuracy).
Nearly ran it all the way against European semi finalists. Well done, Chris.
I admire your unrequited love for Hughton and his version of The Albion. I wish I was as loyal and forgiving. Honestly. That's not being insulting.
Remind us how we did against Chelsea. Don't worry, I'll do it:
31% Possession
3 Shots
1 Shot on target
1 Corner
No goals
I'll take Burnley's stats any day.
Especially the 2 goals.
And the way they tried to counter attack.
We are simply horrible to watch right now. Horrible.

Another tick on the Checklist of Fate.
We no longer look or play like a Premier League team and haven’t for months now
A well drilled league 2 team could do what we are at the moment.
I've had a few hours sleep and I was, like everyone, gutted with the result after making my way back from the game last night.
Not sure , however frustrated and worried about where we are, that my first conclusion on Dunk, Duffy, Ryan, Gross, etc last night - was this is like watching Tranmere or Exeter City. Can't we tone down the hyrerbole a bit ?
It's like getting Gordon Ramsey to knock you up some cheese on toast, nice, but nothing a dinner lady couldn't do.
