Barkley and Traore needed taking off 10-15 mins earlier.

soon as we went 2 1 up . nakamba should have been on for Barkley.

Is Josh King out of contract in the summer?? presuming he isn’t gonna sign a new deal at Bournemouth you wouldn’t be surprised if he is loaned out on deadline day for as much of a loan fee as Bournemouth can get....guess it depends if he is just sitting out his deal for a big contract elsewhere or whether he wants to play game

Would be ideal if they wanted to take & actually play Keinan for rest of season.

Not convinced that would have helped. We conceded three goals with balls in from wide positions but our biggest failing was not making the most of periods of possession and taking the chances created.

We needed someone on McNeill, Burnley's one creative player. Cash relying on Traore again is a weakness for us.

The problem is that the obvious person there, Trez, is just coming back from a long while out.

If he's up to it I'd certainly start him against Southampton. If there's one thing about them, and I may be wrong, but they seem to go hard early in the game and are a bit more vulnerable in the latter part of games, so let him blow out for an hour then bring on Traore to funeral the tired full back.

I'd be tempted to start Ramsay over Barkley for the same reason. Bring on Traore and Barkley for the last 30 mins....

So let's not kid ourselves any longer.  We NEED another striker NOW!

Oooh caps!! I think they mean it! Let's not kid ourselves we aren't chasing another player in this window.

Been the obvious option for a while now.  Similar sort of style to Watkins and probably wouldn't be too put off by starting on the bench.  Gambling on one striker staying fit for the second season in a row seems unnecessary.

I know we didn't go 2-1 up very often, but this was the sort of change people used to crucify Bruce for.  Sitting back and trying to hold what you have got isn't always the right answer, particulalry when we had been so dominant in the game.

The difference is this team would not sit back even if you did that. You'd still have Grealish, Watkins and Trez/El Goalzi on the pitch with McGinn possibly pushed further forward.

I read he was asking for £100k a week.  That’s a lot of money sat on the bench.

It's a bit easy to pin it on Traore. Burnleys left back Pieters? hardly passed the half way line so it certainly wasn't overlaps that caused the three goals. Luiz also needs to do a lot more in sensing danger and addressing it on that flank. But Cash defensively has a lot to improve upon. All three goals came from that side last night and he was nowhere for any of them. Was it v Leeds that we had Trez on the right and Cash still got torched? Traore can do more for sure but we are clutching at straws to blame him for our defensive woes last night.

Watching MOTD and they showed the build ups to two of Burnley's 4 chances at least one of which led to a goal.   In both cases Cash is engaging McNeill and there's a Burnley player piling forward into the gap behind him.  Each time Traore is running back but trailing 5-10 yards behind the Burnley player - doing the job but as an afterthought and too late.

I love Traore's skill but he does leave our right flank very very exposed.
