Burnley v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

16th in current form in the last 10 league games. Only 3 sides with fewer points than our 9 are Spurs 8 (beat us) Chelsea 5 (twatted us) abd Burnley 3 (draw). Wolves are the other side, also on 9.

Morgan Rogers just looks disinterested too often - he suits Chelsea.

I didn't see that, and thought he ended up trying too hard. His form is a bit shot and he had a mate today no mistake, but disinterested? Not for me.

He just looks totally knackered. His touch gets heavier and heavier as each game goes on.

Why the hell Emery won't give him a rest is beyond me. Is he trying to keep him happy in the hope he won't want to leave?

Disinterested is probably the wrong word but his passing and general decision making were very poor today and it’s been like that in far too many games this season. When he’s on it he’s great but the drop off is huge.

Bournemouth aren't catching us and we'll be in the CL next season.

What about Brighton?

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

I'll be honest, I didn't think it was a pen. Buendia puts his foot across where Walker is running and gets caught, not all contact is a pen. My opinion on those sort of pens aren't going to change because it's us.

Some overreactions here.

We aren't the first team to be distracted by a final. Going deep in a cup competition is hard for precisely this reason.

Look at how many teams end up properly sacrificing the league when they go deep in a cup.

We are still 4 points clear of Bournemouth who have Man City up next.

Ah stop mate, our last three league performances have been an utter disgrace.

You remember 94 right?

Relevance of 22 years ago? If we don't get CL football we have a summer of scrabbling around the bargain basement for Sancho's on loan.

This is what prioritising a cup looks like. Last year two clubs did it and finished 17th and 16th respectively.

We are doing it and are 5th with a 4 point cushion.

Some perspective.

This is a match thread though, not a "perspective on the season thread"

The "effort" today against a truly abysmal team was unacceptable

Apples and oranges. Those two clubs didn't have a hope of CL football via the PL. We have frozen on the spot it looks like, grateful to the utter ineptitude of others. Fulham, Spurs, Burnley - 1 point.

I thought we were miles better than them too. we just couldn’t score the goals we should’ve

This & had VAR been on our side we couldve had another couple of goals & a win .

Some embarrasingly over the top reactions.

Frustrating really. We do try and walk it into the net too often. Its great when it comes off but we need to have a pop more often. I wasnt expecting the same level.of performance as the other night but we should have beaten them.

Having a pop worked wonders in Nov-December but apparently it wasn't sustainable and it looks like that was correct.

[Proposition Joe]

Not confident 115 beat bournmth neither

Plus they don’t play until after our Liverpool game. 
So we will have to put some effort into that game which we shouldn’t have had too.

Also unfortunately we are recently the gift that keeps on giving as far as Liverpool are concerned. No matter how they're playing we find ways to gift them points.

[Sexual Ealing]

Fuck it. The players and management don't seem to be arsed so I guess they know what they're doing. The point could end up being important. I have to say I'm not too scared of Liverpool, and the draw will suit them too.

[Paul.S]

There are overreactions and then there are some of the comments on here.
I’ll have to raise my expectations a bit higher as I’m clearly not expecting enough.

[eamonn]

Some embarrasingly over the top reactions.

A couple. Most I think are perfectly within their rights to feel miffed at our failure to get the truly modest points target to make CL qualification mathematically certain from a perfectly normal fixture list over a period of over a month.

There's never a Clampdown with Clampy. Maybe he needs to have a word with Rudy Can't Fail, a proper clash.
