'No positives': Pundit's damning indictment of Burnley's predicament after West Ham defeat
Burnley have been accused of going down with a “whimper” by Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy.
It follows Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to West Ham, which all-but confirms the Clarets’ relegation back to the Championship.
Now without a win in their last 16 league games, Scott Parker’s side remain 11 points adrift of safety with only 13 games remaining.
Things came to a head at Turf Moor as frustrations boiled over, with fans voicing their dissent against Parker.
Analysing the game on the BBC’s Match of the Day, Murphy didn’t mince his words.

He told presenter Kelly Cates: “There’s no positives. They’ve gone out with a whimper, haven’t they?
"They made a decent start to the season when they were competitive, but now they’ve got no confidence and the fans have lost all hope.
"It’s going to be a difficult end to the season for them and we’ll have to wait and see what happens with Scotty.”
