Deserved a goal tbf to Burnley but what a moaning dirty hoof ball team.

A real throwback team.

Credit to them being able to stay up on their budget but Bielsa getting top 10 with all our injuries shows you dont have to be a hoofball team to succeed on a lower budget.

Shows Dyche and his like up a bit

Dyche's pre-match comments

"I can assure you we won't be playing the ball out from the back"

Was dissapointed when Roberts shot and did not try to keep up what has become somewhat of a real indicator this squad is a "team"... he really should have tried to get Rodders his hat trick...Roberts continues to be a divisive player for us, but I honestly believe next year will be his break out year...err yes for us

Pressure to prove himself, feels he needs the goal!

Been fairly unselfish recently, been part of a lot of our goals.

Him, Bruce, Allardyce, Hodgson do nowt for football

Apart from Palace's fluke victory against us.

Bielsaball have proven all four hoof-merchants wrong

I'll say it again....today was a victory for football.

[1964white]

Made up with that, brilliant result

Good to see you back Fridge

Well he certainly isn't a no10.

[mothbanquet]

And we are FINALLY in positive GD!

Mine as it happens - hoping for 10-0 v West Brom

Robert's is a keeper? Make no wonder he sometimes struggles outfield then

I really didn't want that to end - and watching Southampton v Fulham, I wish it hadn't.

Absolute drivel Gandalf....I've just switched off

Great to see such a calm, professional performance when Burnley looked to get physical. Once we decided to move forward we were like a hot knife through butter. Philips passing was majestic and in general the teams’ passing choices were excellent today, topped off with classy goals.

I would worry that Roberts and Poveda still struggled in a game that was won by the time they came on. Loans to decent teams in the Championship might be what’s needed for them to step up.

Rodrigo really showed why he cost us what he did. Can’t wait to see what he’ll bring with a full pre season and an injury free run.

The Clarets winger screamed abuse at Alioski, who he reckoned was making too much of the clash to try and get him booked.

Yet the North Macedonian reacted with a hands-to-the-ears taunt and stuck his tongue out, sparking fury on the touchline and amongst players.

McNeil was substituted almost immediately after the incident.

And referee Graham Scott had words with Clarets chief Sean Dyche and fellow boss Bielsa to calm things down.

But Alioski could now find himself in hot water after Dyche revealed his players reported the incident.

He said afterwards: "There is a report that has gone in to the referee and that will be passed on to the FA.

"One of our players has made the report and I was just there to be a witness of the report and not of the incident.

"A report has been made by one of our players to the referee and that is where it will stay for now."

Leeds boss Bielsa said afterwards: "I didn't see there was an incident between the two, if there was a gesture I didn't see it.

"Even in front of me I saw a dispute, I did not think it was too difficult to what usually happens."

The reaction from the Leeds player took the attention away from a superb display by Bielsa’s men.

For a tough mob, Burnley are easily offended - laughable overreaction !
