Let's actually give Burnley a bit of credit, they beat Liverpool at home only lost to Arsenal to a last minute goal, 1 minute over the allocated stoppage time, yes maybe we should have done better but Burnley sat back and at times had 8 players inside there own penalty area, our keeper was at fault for their first and the midfield didn't track the runner for their second against the run of play. We clearly lack that cutting edge up front with Rom and even direct balls were coming back due to him not winning a header. Burnley will continue to pick up points at home against better sides and will probably stay up by doing this, let's not get down and expect to be going to places like Turf Moor to turn the home team over, this is the Premier League and that doesn't happen often. Yes I expected 3 points today, we lost and go home empty handed, but I have faith in the management team to get us back on track next week against West Ham.

Why blame Rom for not holding on to the ball. From what I seem the defence was poor except for Williams, the midfield was poor except for Gama and a couple of times Bolaisie. Except for the goal I didn't see a decent pass from the creative players such as Ross, Kev and Gerry. If it was up to me I would bring Kone back in team he can't do any worse.

It was burnley we should be winning these games yes they reds but we've got no one on the bench the squad looks thin so should we be looking at niasse.

Koeman this season has used Gerry, Kevin, Ross and Cleveleys this season and at the moment it has not work. So give Kone a few games at least he can hold the ball up front.

Blue I wasn't blaming Rom I was saying we lacked creativity to go with him, it was the way I wrote it. We need to find a way to stretch teams when they are putting men behind the ball. And maybe utilising Mirrallas as a striker and going 4-4-2 with Bolasie and Delboy on the flanks. We will have more games like this and it will be a long hard season with the squad we have before a clearout in the summer.

Said it before, the selected bench overall is just not strong enough to enable game changing substitutions. Recent performances are just beginning to edge over the border between blip and worry. Never the less I have faith in Koeman and his Team, the guy went through the same points of inconsistency at Southampton and come the end of the January I am convinced we will begin to see Koemans Squad take shape.
