Zeki Amdouni opened the scoring just after the half-hour, from a corner, on 34 minutes according to Walfoot. Mohammed Fuseini, on as a substitute in the 66th, equalised in the 93rd with a powerful strike. 1-1.
After the match, Nicky Hayen spoke to HLN. “This is a hard one to swallow. Three points would have given a completely different picture. You could clearly see the players’ disappointment afterwards. I’m disappointed in myself too,” he said.
Freddy read the line twice.
Tactically, a goal from a corner on 34 minutes, that’s Tuesday work, you can spot it straight away. When we’ve got eleven, that is. But the bit I’m keeping is “disappointed in myself”. I said that once in the clubhouse bar, a Sunday in November, absolutely pouring, and nobody dared go back for a second coffee.
The former Club Brugge and Genk manager is on four draws and four defeats in eight rounds. He also told HLN he needed this break “to adjust a lot of things”, and that “if a manager isn’t worried in this situation, he’s lying”. He added there was a difference between no longer feeling the board’s confidence and actually feeling it, and that they would talk about it and look at the best option.
After the international break, Burnley travel to Watford before hosting Charlton, according to Walfoot.
Two weeks without a game, I’ll take that. You go back over the block, you go back over the intentions, and above all you go back over who actually turns up on Tuesday. Then you dig out the club delegate’s folder to check that the corners were your idea in the first place. A flat pitch away, mind you, it’s exactly the same job.
It’s true, we checked: HLN.
