This was like when Sam first came. No organisation, no confidence, hoofing it up to an isolated benteke, players arguing with each other.

In my opinion thd shambolic defending effected the whole team. Van arnholt was awful, delaney was soon slow and Kelly positioning and passing was terrible.
Not sure what we can change defensively but if we don't do something we will get hammered against city.

Can't blame tiredness for this defeat, I thought we would start well like against spurs and then maybe tire. But we were terrible from the start.

Going on that performance we won't get anything against Hull either

We played ok against Spurs and given the results against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool I would have disagreed with you. With our CB injuries though we are an easier proposition. Just maybe though Sam will find a plan to protect the CB's. My choice would be to pack the midfield with defensive qualities. So stick Milo, Flamini and Ledley just in front of the CB's then add Schlupp on the left for Townsend and MacArthur on the right. Benteke starts alone up front.
Wilf, Andros and Yohan get a rest and try to bore them to death with a 0-0. This if course all goes to pot if Toure steps on the field.

Not sure why so much water goes on the pitch before and at half time. The ball was actually slowing up. Numerous times players lost their Footing and it looked like it contributed to the first goal when Luca lost possession.

Today was a typical end of season. Credit to Burnley they outfought and gave 100%. If Delaney contract renewed then it's a massive backward. If he's a good pro what you hear. He'll hold his hands up and drop down a division. Luka was dreadful and outbattled and passing was poor. The only 2 players that gave their all was zaha and Townsend. The intensity wasn't there is it because Sam claimed as a point a game was a safety mark. To fall apart shows how weak the squad actually is.

Like to hear your thoughts. Am I overeacting .
