0-1 lost at Burnley and we are glad we didn't lost by more goals. If this is not tragedy, what is it?
We were so poor that we probably have no clear chance to score a goal throughout the match. And it's really a surprise that it takes so long (51 minutes) and Traore to score the superb Zidane-type own goal. The players have no determination at all, and something need to be done ASAP.
Player Rating:
Dudek: 6 A few good saves in the game, but really can't do anything for such a superb own goal.
Raven: 5 Work hard, but not much impact. Poor compare to the last game which he played so well.
Whitbread: 5 Fail to clear the ball and lead to the goal. Compare to his recet few games this is one to forget.
Hyypia: 5 Unable to inspire the players. And poor performance as the rest of the team.
Traore: 4 Superb goal, but at wrong end.
Nunez: 3.5 A few good crosses but useless. And get a red card unnecessarily.
Biscan: 4 Almost invisible and when he shows up, he just give the ball away.
Welsh: 6 Relatively speaking he is playing OK.
Warnock: 5 Unable to provide any significant chance to the front men.
Potter: 5 The holding role is not his favorite position. Played better after move back to central midfield.
Sinama-Pongolle: 5.5 On once oocasion he should pass the ball to Biscan but didn't... If he did we may have won the game.
Substitutions:
Baros: 5.5 Can't change the game despite work hard.
Mellor: 5.5 Not much impact to the game.
Rafa: 4 This time his tricks of rotation and half time team talk don't work. And we have to question his decision to play one up front.
Burnley: 7.5 Credit to the derseved winner.
Man of the Match: Dudek. Relatively a better than the others.
