We asked for your thoughts after Saturday’s Premier League game between Fulham and Burnley.
Here are some of your comments:
Fulham fans
James: It was a great game. Amazing performance from the team and a well-deserved three points. Super happy that Josh King got his goal as it is a major confidence boost for him and the rest of our season as we push for Europe.
Brian: Job done, but not without another show of misplaced passes and static defending. Burnley gave us a game and (almost) deserved their goal. So proud that King finally got his goal – cracking lad and fully committed. We’re all hanging on Marco Silva’s decision now and hoping he’ll stay…
Miles: We lacked tempo for 60 minutes until Burnley scored. More late subs from an ever-belligerent Silva in that regard. Anyway, we hit third gear thereafter, driven by man of the match Harry Wilson (who will be moving on to bigger things in the summer, no doubt). Reservations remain about Silva’s in-game decision-making, but we are up to eighth. COYW!
Steve: Nice result for us. But it leaves us flirting with the European places, which I believe would be our undoing – how many other ‘small’ clubs with limited playing resources have crashed and burned with the extra workload? Ninth will be just fine, thank you, until we can increase the size/depth of our squad.
Burnley fans
Tom: Burnley are finished now and it’s far too late to do anything about it. They have a squad of, at best, average players who are totally demoralised and confused by the strategic and tactical incompetence of their ‘coach’. Since that is the man who put this ‘squad’ together, it is clear who is responsible for the club’s decline. It is hard to see how this Burnley can even survive in the Championship since the few players who know how to play football will leave as soon as they can.
Joe: I don’t know why I keep watching. It’s pathetic and I, among others, just want this season to end. Scott Parker doesn’t know what he’s doing and it’s clear to see – the players have given up, the fans have given up and the owners might not even know this is happening as they’re probably sunning themselves with their other club. The future looks grim.
Graham: Another “almost” afternoon. Almost an early lead. Almost the better football. Almost a penalty save. Almost a Premier League team.
John: Sitting back after taking the lead had disaster written all over it. If Burnley had continued playing as they had up to the goal, they would have probably got at least a point.
