Endo has been good. Always involved.

2 added mins at end of half

This is crazy, a Burnley team with a high back line trying to play football but reluctant to press in our half - we should be slamming them by now.

[Buzzo]

Should be all over. We need to kill them off. Crowd is quiet.

[Kenneth]

Almost too easy for us. Scored two, should have been more, only one ahead.

[Tatterdemalion]

Frankly, we're lucky we're playing this Burnley team today - any other team - even any other Burnley team and we'd be struggling.

[Buzzo]

14 shots 8 on target… in one half…!!!

Duplicate post.

Eh? We’ve played well.

[Tatterdemalion]

Eh? We’ve played well.

I think we haven't played terribly, but we've been laboured in front of goal and barely challenged in our own half. We're taking too many touches up front and there isn't enough urgency. I guess I'm glass half empty but given the stats you've quoted - we're still just a sucker punch away from a very different game.

Play Nunez in the middle and he'll have a good chance to score. Hope we keep doing this instead of putting gakpo constantly there.

Have to say I agree with you. Burnley are terrible and most teams wouldn't be half as accommodating. Having said that we usually play better in the second half so hopefully we'll knock in a few more.

Nunez has played pretty well where he is though. He got the goal from there - a really good take - and has provided some nice link up play. Gakpo hasn't been fantastic today though.

mcmanaman is such a cock... just saying

Apparently it’s the most shots on target we’ve had in one half all season.

No doubt about your glass being half empty

Just hope we don’t rue missing the chances.
