Sam Allardyce

completely dominated the game and outpassed the opposition in the opposition's half, and it found it very difficult to break down because of their negative tactic by dropping all ten players in their own half, and you have to be patient, we were patient, we got the winner, but you couldn't knock some of our passing that goes astray.

but in all fairness, you can't really blame me for that one, can you?

I don't pass the ball out there, the lads do, so some of our passing went astray, obviously we always work to get better, but I thought overall the lads did terrific today again, and yes, there were some mistakes, but that's been apparent ever since I've been here, and we try and eliminate those mistakes every week and get better and better.

Cheers, thank you.

Missing too many chances.

I think that's the bottom line.

I think that after that, I think two very...

simple goals gifted to Burnley.

I think that the first one in particular was just a straightforward ball and Michael Keane and Ashley Williams should have easily dealt with it.

It was just a simple ball behind and they didn't.

So that lifted Burnley's spirits.

Really in the first half it should have been, I think, with all the chances that we created, and these were very, very good chances, we didn't get two up.

because we're struggling a bit away from home, then you don't get that too when you're in that position, and I think then, and then even though we didn't perform to that level in the second half, Gylfi, you know, brilliantly, brilliantly got himself in the position to score, and that then, that then gets us back in front, and you miss that, and then a simple corner we didn't defend properly, and then,

When Burnley are here and haven't won in 11 football matches, I said to the players, you know, this is Burnley that are struggling worse than we are.

We're struggling away from home, not at home.

Burnley have struggled in the last 11 games to win one.

So you can imagine how tense they are feeling, but we have gifted the game to Burnley.

For me, let them...

We put ourselves under more pressure and gave Burnley a win that we could have avoided.

Because our decision-making wasn't good enough in what we did and what we tried to do.
