Positives & Negatives

[fisnik]

Traore looked dangerous????? He had a mare. His fault on the second goal. Tried taking on 3 players and lost it which resulted in a goal. Plus his dribbling while running was shocking. Kept kicking too far away from him. I don't mind the player but don't say he had a great game when he was shockingly bad

Traore had a good game. Fair enough he lost the ball but couldn't blame him for the second goal. Hoilet didn't run back to get shoulder to shoulder with the winger which he could have. And even though Onuoha saw this he decided to stand back instead of getting closer to him and apply pressure. Very poor from both.

Traore does kick the ball too far forward but that's just the way he plays. He's got a very good burst of speed, so he gets to the ball. It actually helps him get past the player when he kicks the ball forward when making a run. More often than not it works but not every time.

thought it was a fair result , both teams had spells on top .barton was good in 1st have but faded in the 2nd understandable as he's been injured . Traore lets us down with his crossing its poor needs to look up before he hits it

Centre midfield pairing didn't work. That's were we were undone and outplayed by Burnley. I though that Niko's most productive game for us, but he ought play out on the left or in the hole with one up front. Burnley are a good side. Stronger than us, I think. I'm glad we stole a point off them.

Outplayed us? Are you. For real? Played so much better than them but will give them credit with taking their chances well

I don't think the middle was our problem. Barton was working twice as hard and it was paying off. Also Kranjcar was more lively than usual. Was warned a few times and nearly got a yellow. Problem was down the right where we left Kightly lot of space. The second goal was like in slow motion. He wasn't pressured and had so much time to put a good cross in.

Looked like from sa road that onunha should of closed the cross down for their 2nd. Seemed very static and let the guy have a free cross

From ellerslie I felt the same. Hoillett got unfair stick for that. Onuoha should of shut him down.

They are, sadly, a better team than us. Better than us twice. I think we won a point today.

Other than their two strikers they had nothing better than us today.

[Yousef]

The main positive is they we didn't lose when we could have lost.

That's football. All about opinions, and some just see it different. I'm with you though. Even at their place we wasn't out played. We lost to a pathetic piece of play by Henry which cost us the first. This meant we was chasing the game and meant it would open up. If Dunne scored from that corner it might of been a different game. They then caught us on the break and won 2-0. Still was a very tight game.

Opposite could be said about Leicester at home. Battered them for large periods of the game. 15 attempts on goal compared to their 2 but we lost. Matty Philips scores the 1on1 just before half time we'd of went on and won.

Saying that Huddersfield should of been 4-0 up at half time and without Greens saves against Bolton we would of come away with no points. As I said that's football.

His crosses were excellent, best ever from him.

[Yousef]

Agree with that. If Austin had been there, he could have headed at least one of them.

[Ginger Ninja]

People clearly have something against Traore. I thought it was a very good performance from him. Love the fact that he seems to have found form at left mid.

Might as well say "if you take Rooney and Van Persie out of Man Utds side they are nothing special" - its probably a fair comment but the fact is Burnley do have two strikers who have been on fire all season and we don't, which is why they now have a much better chance of making the automatics than we do.
