I know that we've got players missing etc., but what I would question is Moyes man management and motivational skills. I thought Dibling did well today, but why take him off with a couple of minutes to go, only to bring on our 4th choice RB, when leaving him on for the full 90 minutes would've given the lad a boost.
I know he'd been booked but I don't believe for one minute that that was the reason.
Also, once our missing players have returned the sooner McNeil goes to Forest the better. All he's shown in the last 2 games is that he can't be bothered ( something we've known for quite some time) .

Feels like we’re just looking for reasons to have a pop now.

The lad had a yellow and we are going to need him - yes I did say that -, Grealish back next game bench McNeil (awful) play Dibling on the right *another left footer*.

Should never took alcaraz off was full of energy and running the sub should've been mcneil off for barry.

Attended the game today as was lucky enough to get hospitality. Pre match i had an iffy feeling as i felt burnley were probably due a win. Terrible 1st half, burnley the better side 2nd half. Dibbling played well as did alacraz.
Tarkowski and keane fsirly solid. Take the point and move on. We are seeing steady improvement in my opinion but 1 swallow doesn't make a summer so we have to enjoy the wins and accept some frustration but overall i'm positive.

It's not having a pop. It didn't make sense. Dibling was never going to get a second yellow. It was yet again like for like/ wrong substitutions, when McNeil was again absolutely dire. He just can't seem to bring himself to make positive substitutions.
When Beto had been decent by his standards what harm would it have done to play Beto and Barry together and go for the win. Like I say negative substitutions. It would just be nice for a change to see DM be a little bit more adventurous, but I won't hold my breath.

If Grealish is back next game then you can guarantee that McNeil will replace Dibling on the RW. I give up on team selection now and just look to the result. Wish managers for us would just stop being scared to mix things up abit.

We’ll need Dibling and Alcaraz on Tuesday, Moyes is looking at the bigger picture, not something that’s common on this site. We’re not blessed with quality in depth, this is not a surprise to anyone.
