* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Burnley Match-Day Thread *

[Ipad1977]

Ref has been awful but we have been the architects of our own downfall.

Agreed.

He certainly didn't help, but our defence, particularly the left side, has been leaky af. And the less said about that bungling yank in goal today the better.

 

[BiggEggo]

Carrick brought a negative game plan and we got what we deserved for thinking we could keep them out for 90 mins.

Some players massively found out today, thankfully just before transfer window opens.

Because those always work out so well for us

 

[Norfolkred1]

Glad to see we are attacking to the half way line.

 

[dribble]

A few players to$$ing it off today

 

[Smoginexile]

We are where we are
Burnley are just better than us right now.
Still proud to be Boro

I’ve put the World Cup 3rd vs 4th match on…

That's my only option here, it's been a good competitive match.

Wish Maddo would stop going on about the foul on the egde of the box, it wasn't a penalty and has nothing to do with us being unable to defend.

 

[Benjiboy]

Send Bungle back to man city is a start, far too sure of himself , poor on crosses , god knows what he's costing us too

 

[r00fie1]

Sense of urgency required.

 

[Nero]

3 terrible goals to concede but Boro have been second best. No idea why the Boro fans were chanting “top of the league you’re having a laugh”. Burnley look very much a team at the top of the league.

Done himself no favours at all. Who'd give him a deal after this?

 

[ForssAwakens]

Bit of over reaction to a poor performance against the top side in the league

Players being found out?
Replace them?
Players tossing it off?

 

[Andybarca]

Neither the ability to pass through their press or the physical presence up top, to go over it.

 

[Norfolkred1]

Sense of urgency required.

We never do though. Or we make nothing out of something.

 

[Chris_Boro]

We've got this tactically wrong after taking the lead but here we go with the overreactions against the best team in the league

 

[TeaCider]

Burnley have been comfortably the better team, but the goals we've conceded have been so poor.

All 3 were very, very preventable.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Out muscled today they are still a horrible physical side nothing special at all

Agreed.
We lost to the top side, who havent lost at home all season.
This is how we learn.

 

[TeaCider]

Penalty Boro, no idea why.
