Go

[Red Beret]

Fuck the refs.

[Caligula?]

Our finishing has been abysmal of late and we really should be putting more of those chances away. That being said that was a very dominant display from us. An early goal in the second half should put it to bed.

[Zaffarious]

how the fuck is this not 4-0 to us

[smicer07]

Not clinical enough. And when we are clinical we get shit refereeing.

[Nick110581]

Sloppy in final third

Should be further ahead

[Zlen]

Choke on my shit Taylor.

[RedSince86]

Paul Tierney and that useless bald fat C*nt.

What a surprise.

[AllyouneedisRush]

Should be 4 up.. Tierney and Var a joke again... never a foul

[Ghost Town]

Great, now we have to deal with Young Trafford as well

[Samie]

We have been really good, just need the second to kill it.

C*nt of a ref again. 

[Knight]

Very nice thus far. Just need to be a little sharper in the box. At least we look like making things happen today though.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Really good, but also infuriating that we haven't scored more.

Burnley are wank.

Can't see a foul for the disallowed goal, and Charlie Taylor knew it.

[QC]

Please don’t let this turn into a smash and grab

[Magz50]

Goalie having a worldie against us as usual. Should be 6-0

[Phineus]

Very comfortable, really like the shape but we need to be more ruthless.

Let’s not let this turn into one of those games, eh

[StevoHimself]

Robbed of a perfectly legit goal. Have done well enough, but the game's gone very flat. Need to take a few more of our chances.

[rushyman]

Should've scored 4

Scored 2 legal goals 1 allowed to stand

It's like you could write it and just not bother with the game

[dirkster]

Another outrageous VAR decision.
One nil flatters Burnley. We should be out of sight by now

[Gerry83]

Couldn’t finish their Christmas dinner this lot!

[Agent99]

Not been clinical enough but I've been impressed with Gakpo and Gravenberch

[tubby]

They are terrible, we should have put this to bed already.   Tidy finish from Nunez.

They've got behind our midfield once or twice, need to watch out for that in the second half.

[cdav]

How is that a foul? The Burnley player doesn't even appeal

Again not quite clinical enough, and things not quite bouncing for us

[Studgotelli]

Take the fucking chances Burnley probably score from their only one hopefully the game is out of sight second half

[blamski]

Easy game for us, and we'll surely go on to win. I must say I'm very impressed with Young Trafford.

[sminp]

Great finish by Nunez, joke refereeing as usual and no idea how we aren’t out of sight.

[Cruiser]

We need just 1 more and then focus on raking up our goal difference. Burnley are utterly shit.

[naYoRHa2b]

Controlled that half.

Definitely don't feel comfortable despite Burnley's lack of threat.

Let's get another early second half!

[Jean Girard]

Another day, another completely ridiculous interpretation of the rules, another absolute farce from the VAR.

But we should also be out of sight

[1892tillforever]

It's rare that we're winning at half time and I'm this pissed off, but I am seething for some reason. Perhaps it is the lack of intensity and composure against the single worst side I've seen us play this season. Perhaps it is once again, without fail, Paul Tierney fucking us over with another abject decision. Oddly, he never gets things 'wrong' in our favour to this degree.

Just get the second goal early in the second half and avoid dropping points which would make the United debacle look good in comparison.

[DelTrotter]

Another "inept" display from this referee, mad that none of his mistakes ever go for us though isn't it? Given he makes 10s and 10s you'd think we'd get one but no

[Father Ted]

Game should be dead and buried already. Gakpo offering more than Diaz of late on the left (though that’s not difficult). Tierney loved that opportunity to deny us a second, though it probably was a (soft) foul.

[swoopy]

Tierney is a prick

[Gnurglan]

We are in control. Great shot by Nunez! Should have had a 2-0 lead. Need to find the second goal. If we keep going like this we will.

[TepidT2O]

So, which will it be…..

A cheap penalty for them, or a cheap red for us?

You can just tell that that bell end Tierney is dying to get involved

[stockdam]

Very good but very poor at the final pass or shot today. It’s one of those games where Burnley will score with their first real chance. We really should be 3 up and it’s poor that we just scored one.

In real-time the disallowed goal looked like a foul but in the replays I couldn’t see anything wrong.

[RyanBabel19]

Better but still just lacking in the final third

Endo is class, looks a pain the arse to play against. Gakpo has been brilliant and should have a goal to be honest. Great finish from Nunez, he's been class too

Fair play to their keeper, made some smart saves. Just need to link the play better in that final third and we'll finish them

The officials get worse by the week, was there even contact?

[alonsoisared]

We need to score more goals.

[proudred]

Need to do more. They should not become complacent because  they have more of the ball.
