Mike Dean is a cnut. He let them have an extra minute to score.

Great result, bad performance. Jones MOTM.

Now focus on Sanchez.

Could've easily won by 4 on another day. The good thing is at least we creating those opportunities in the final third.

Delighted to get out of there with 3 points. Burnley are awful to play against and Dyche complains about every decision.

Professional performance but we must improve decision making. Seriously awful.

Incredible poor attacking performance. Players looked like they've never played together and don't want to pass.

Happy with the 3 points but Yeah, need to work on the final third MASSIVELY.

I thought we'd turned a corner in the new year but we need something extra in attack. Too many brainless play. I'm starting to worry whether Rashford will make it because he has been so brainless recently.

It was always going to be a shitshow against these lot though. 3 points all that matters.

Whether it's too late or not you can tell we still haven't given up on the title and considering everything that's been said in the media that shows a real character imo.

Didnt play too well..
Still shouldve scored 3+ if we werent so indecisive in / around the box.

Good 3 points.
Not complaining too much..

Over to the Sanchez thread :D

Terrible game. Could've easily finished 3-0 if it wasn't for Pogba and Rashford's greediness.

Martial with an excellent goal.

The only players that seemed any decent was Jones and Smalling. That's a telling sign when you're being outplayed by Burnley.

Dean is the worst of all the refs and that's saying something.

Important three points in a tough away match.

Back to Sanchez.

Awful performance but a vital 3 points from one moment of quality in a sea of bad choices and sloppy execution in attack.

Yes. 3 points. fecks sake. Moving the feck on quickly.

Second half was as bad as Huddersfield away.

Players looked like they were wearing plimsolls.

The wider issue is the selfishness and lack of composure some of our players showed today after even the merest roughing up from Burnley.

Very tough ground this season, and this type of performance is the norm for any top team coming away with 3 valuable points. No complaints.

Feck the ref though, giving Burnley 6 minutes to continue their attack.

Now, on to more important things. Announce Sanchez. Him and Martial on the wings, and suddenly our wingplay looks pretty great.:drool:

Many negatives from many individuals. Some more surprising than others. Poor officiating yet again. 3 points and hoping the poor game was due to the break.

Great result! So relieved right now:D Feel really bad for Lukaku, like others have said he’s delivering a lot of great runs and no one passes!
