The same every single time. A ton of possession, and we give teams one chance and they score. It's sh*t.

Thiago Silva should have slid there, Cucurella, through his legs, unlucky.

Poor defending 

sh*t watching a delayed feed ...shocking defensively and so well deserved after the slow boring start.

The last 2 matches that we won, we didn't go after possession. Here, we do and immediately go a goal down.

Sanchez didn’t even try to dive for it.

I don’t care if it’s through his legs, the keeper has to do better, was hardly a bullet effort.

Very slow with the ball today. Sideways FC

What do we expect.

stage 1: Losds of sideways and backwards passes in our own half

stage 2: punt forward to sterling who misses or loses the ball

Stage 3: concede a soft goal

I think Silva’s age is starting to slow. Couple of years ago he would have knicked that ball from the Burnley player who got the assist. 

Stop passing round the f**king back

I won't be surprised if this goal completely kills off our morale because this team doesn't have the balls to pick themselves up.

Teams may as well just sit back on us, because we'll always give them a win against us. We can't break down teams that sit back and we always give away an easy goal. 

27 passes across the back with no incision.Possession stats are so overrated

Agree. The last 6-12 games there has been a drop in his level of authority when defending. It’s something we need to address sooner than later 

15 minutes of faffing about in our own half, they pop up the field and score, I f**king hate this pass pass pass to nowhere football.

Such a soft goal.. Silva is so past his prime.. and CC is poor as a LB so we put him in RB.. amazing..

Yeah but the possession was at walking pace; every game we start like this we lose...its one step forward 2 steps back and its been like this for a couple of seasons.  No movement up front and in the middle causes the defence to simply hang on to the ball and play keep ball for the sake of it...

We have 3CBs and one LB playing as a RB.. bad  call not to play gusto.. 

We are getting away with this 

Poch needs to start screaming here r we will lose this

Good grief...Burnley are awful as well ..

We have been dogsh*t so far. I can't tell you how much I hate possession based football, we are so sh*t at it.

He relies more on positioning that speed but even that is beginning to catch up on him.  See what happens when everyone is fit, the back four will be more mobile and hopefully more forward thinking.
