Feels like fans won’t support this club/team until VK goes, regardless of the results.
Absolute nonsense.

We had 53% possession, 7 shots on target and came away from Old Trafford with a point. I think VK got something right. An SD 10 men behind the ball bore fest with our current squad would have seen us very heavily beaten. Only in my opinion of course I agree with this tbh. Maybe on hindsight it'd be...

The mistakes at the back is on the manager.
Play with fire you get burnt. A little bit more 'pragmatism' and we'd be in a much better spot.

Thankfully we have settled down abit and our two up top is starting to get chances/run them ragged.
I liked the initial tactical decision by VK, was just worried that we were losing midfield.

100% agree. Came in because of ex players dissecting every referee decision. Tv berating them at every opportunity. I’m sure the laws use to state, “if in the opinion of the referee” therefore errors happened. For a 120 years we got over it. Until, as above, the ex players banged on about money mon...

I commend the Swedish football fans for doing away with it because apparently the head of their FA was trying to push it through but with the clubs being majority fan owned (or even fully fan owned - can't remember) their fans said no to it.

One of those occasions he gave it away, it was close to it costing us a second goal. He had a good game overall, and I gave him 8, but had Trafford made that one error he'd have been getting 4s and 5s.

It's kinda ironic that Dyche is the one to win the Klopp's last ever Merseyside derby - bloodied Klopp's nose the first time back in 2016 with that 2-0 home win against Liverpool in 2016 and we did it again a few times, upsetting Klipperty each and every time.

You could argue that NATO's expansion into Ukraine was the catalyst for that. They knew what they were doing when they poked the bear.

If VK left us for whatever reason (not that I think he will) the first manager on my shortlist would probably be Mark Robins.
Done an unbelievable job with Coventry on the budget he's had - can spot/develop talent as well.

Not so sure that's the setup that VK wants to be in, I can't see Bloom/Brighton affording him the same level of involvement/responsibility/influence that he does here at Burnley, although it's definitely the calibre of club VK would probably be interested in.

Why is it not an obstacle? I would have thought that having to erect the goalposts before every game would be a definite obstacle.

The finance involved in developing hundreds or perhaps thousands of smaller pitches with smaller goals makes it a non-starter. They will have to continue sharing.

We’ll get chances. Absolutely vital we don’t gift them a goal. They’re wide open to the counter attack if we’re clever.
I can only think some/all our players will be watching this rn sending messages between each other - "we can do these".
