Yes and it's the sort of fouling that prevents us from gaining any advantage when teams are stretched and I know we do it as well but it's the fact that some teams use it practically every single time we cause them issues, it's cheating and the officials do nothing just like the Chelsea game no warning words or cards come out and we end up with silly free kicks with the opposition sitting pretty in front of us, sinbin, sinbin, sinbin it's the only way to stamp it out fair and square.

This is a correct interpretation of the tactics employed as subsequently confirmed by Vieira.
The tactics worked in the first half when we should have been 2 goals ahead.
Mee and Tarkowski excel when playing against big target men they can mark and challenge physically.
We made them virtually redundant in the first half and Vieira pointed out that Schlupp and Gallagher were tasked with making late runs into the box where they may not be picked up.
This worked for the Schlupp goal, but we didn't do enough of it.
Their early goal in the second half unsettled us and we ended up playing the game they wanted us to play i.e lots of head tennis, scrappy interludes.
For me the key to these games is going two ahead when we're dominating. At 1-0 we are always vulnerable through a mistake, a set piece or some bad luck.

Not the best of games.

Selecting Luka came as a big surprise. I thought he did ok in the first half, but his own goal was highly avoidable and a game changer.

We all know what to expect from Burnley and I thought PV made a good tactical call in not giving their centre backs a target man to mark. It worked well for the first 45, but once level, Burnley were allowed to revert to their usual s***house selves. Had we have not conceded so quickly after half time, we may have benefited more from them having to chase the game - not to be.

It's becoming clear that the longer PV has had with the squad, the more he is selecting a starting eleven that he believes is best from a tactical perspective.
