Burnley 0-2 MANCHESTER UNITED

You never know how Burnley will line up, they start and change tactics according, but we opted for the right approach and started the better. We went a goal up through Phillips and Nacho added a second straight after the second half kick off. After that, the clear rushed sheet saw Gordon chopping and changing position and the second half was unreadable.

The first half we deserved to be a head, after that I don't know. We get back to winning ways after dropping points last week. We have the full 5 defenders back next week too which will be nice. Minutes are the big one for us right now to make sure we pick the right team but rotate where possible, we are likely to come short on someone but keeping the big boys is the key.

Southampton 0 - 1 Chelsea

Close game we were perhaps lucky to get the full three points going by the stats, but it looked like the Saints expected our normal attacking play which didn't turn up throughout, but we do always have that tool in our bag as after all attack is the best form of defence they say. Vinicius_Jr got the winner in the first half and is looking like he's settling into life in London and forming a good striker partnership with Bobby Firminio.

Crystal Palace 1 Liverpool 2

This was a resilient display from us at a difficult venue against a side who set up well and were tough to play against.

We benefitted from a penalty with Rashford putting us ahead but Palace equalised and were making life very difficult for us. We made a positive substitution on the hour mark and 5 minutes later Mahrez fired us back in front and we were able to see it out for a very good 3 points. Palace beat us at home earlier in the season so it's nice to get some revenge.

We're ticking away nicely on all fronts of late so just got to try and keep it going.

Balckburn Rovers 3-1 Arsenal

Huge result for us, but one i'd say we were very clinical in. stats suggest a draw was the more fair result with shots on and off target and possession the same. We wont compain at the luck however and will take the much needed 3 points with open arms.

Good luck Darren for the rest of the season

Blackburn Rovers 3 - 1 Arsenal

Looking the game stats it does seem a bit harsh to have walked away with nothing but as Tone said, finishing proved the difference which is very disappointing from our perspective when you look at the front line we put out with fur very good players. Maybe they were all tripping over themselves to get to the ball who knows.

Another one where we sit here saying " chalk it off and move on " which seems to be the case lately. Lady luck certainly isnt our side right now.

Played Tone, all the best for the remainder of the season mate.

[Marshy@Atletico]

Cardiff City 1 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday

A good hard earned point but Wednesday could have nicked this one with a 7-9 shot count. Missed changes though meant Hogans late goal was a point saver rather than a winner. Draws wont keep the club up but it is a small step forwards.

Caretaker Marsh added "Thats the first point on the board but we need to find a win soon".
