Goalkeeper taking positives from performance against Chelsea

Martin Dúbravka said the Clarets 'win together, lose together and will stick together' following a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Speaking after the game the Clarets number 1 said he was disappointed that despite showing positives signs and bravery in the performance, the home side fell short in the end.

“We’re disappointed, we worked so hard to get a result we wanted. They scored a first goal and afterwards we tried to chase and create half a chance but unfortunately, they punished us in the last minutes.

“It’s frustrating because you really try, you push, but you don’t get the results.”

Did the Slovak stopper feel it was another of those games where the opposition were just more clinical in those key moments?

“Yes, if you don’t score the goals that’s the disappointment, but we’re winning together, we’re losing together, so we stick together. Obviously, we need the points because we’re in a position where every point counts.

“I think in the build-up we showed bravery and quality. They let us play I have to say. So, there were a few good bits. But we’re playing against a good side, it’s always going to be difficult. There were loads of positives but again, we didn’t get a result.”

The Clarets have been in this position on occasions this season putting in positive performances against Liverpool and Manchester United to name a few and Dúbravka says it's the small margins that have been making the difference.

“It is about the small margins, small details, we can go on and on in previous games where we’ve played well but unfortunately, we didn’t get anything from the game.

“We’ve played a top side and even against this side and against top players we did well I have to say. There were a few moments where we might be a little bit more clinical, but we have to be brave, we have to take opportunities. We’re working on it and hopefully the points will come.”

With a busy December period coming up the goalkeeper believes it's a 'crucial' time of year for the Clarets.

“It’s probably the most important time of the year in terms of the season. It’s going to be crucial for us. But for me the most important game is the next game, we have to prepare for Brentford now.”
