Hahahaha Dyche vs Klopp. Big babies. Pathetic.

ksrclaret

Origi is crap. Couldn’t finish a plate of chips.

ksrclaret

Hilarious that Jay not being fully fit has been trotted out for weeks now. Along with Wood and Barnes probably won't play again if they don't score this time.

Dyche is trying to outwit Klopp

By playing two false no 9"s

Brilliant.

For all the assumptions that he’s an arrogant southerner etc etc, I always found Tindall to be a real down to earth and friendly bloke. He came across as quite shy and uncomfortable on occasion, rather than full of himself. Certainly far more pleasant to talk to than come of the current staff. Pleas...

Apparently Robert Snodgrass is unable to feature for West Brom tonight due an agreement that prevented him playing against West Ham this season when he left them, even though he's gone permanently. Quite odd I thought.

Conor Gallagher is a decent enough player to come in for him though.

ksrclaret

Speak to Stan Ternent before telling anyone about who you plan to sign.

You start thinking that you have read pretty much every daft viewpoint on here possible, then just as you do someone comes along and claims we don't have a cheap front 4

Have a nice day, COC.

But we don't have strikers that cost 10s of millions so not sure why you are querying the post

You're not sure because I wasn't querying the post. I was asking how much our strikers cost.

ksrclaret

Yes but compared to Newcastle's forwards ours are bargain basement. Joelinton £40m Wilson £20m (TBF he's done ok when he's played) Dwight Gayle £10m or so And finally Andy Carroll, yes he was a free transfer, but he'll be on big wages. In comparison Wood £15m Jay & Vydra £10m or so apiece It's fair...

ksrclaret

I think most people would agree that the performance at Palace with 5 in midfield was one of, if not the, best ones in recent months.

Whatever the reason for deploying it, it very, very clearly worked and we should be eager to revisit it.

13 hours without a goal from open play for the Geordies, and people think we're struggling, the difference is we don't have strikers that cost 10's of millions.

Don't we have 3 that cost around the £10m or more mark?

ksrclaret

Gosh, if we could reach 30 goals... wow. I'd be speechless. It'd be a real feather in the cap for the club if we could get there. Little old Burnley punching above their weight and hitting 30 goals in a season. The likes of Aston Villa may already have 29 but they've spent money on good players to g...

Is that a young Sean Dyche by any chance.

You should see what they've done with the other 19 managers.

It’s gone very quiet on the transfer front...

It was always going to be. Very little, if anything, has changed other than the accents of those sitting around the boardroom table.

ksrclaret

Stats? We've yet to finish below Brighton, we've played in Europe and they've spent a shed load more money than us for little return. That enough stats for you? Okay Sid, calm. That is enough stats for me, yes. I certainly don't want you to dig anymore out unless you're really desperate to. I was r...

ksrclaret

And yet, as I've said, there is nothing between the two teams so far this season. Aside from the obvious aesthetics, of course.

Who knows how things will pan out from here, but there is a well known saying about lies and statistics.

ksrclaret

So we are back to the age old argument of style over substance. Brighton are playing prettier football but it's not showing a significant improvement on league position. Wolves play prettier football but without Jimenez, they're dropping down the league with 1 win in 9 I think it is. I'll take subs...

ksrclaret

We are neither strong at controlling possession nor counter attacking. We simply don’t have the players to keep the ball nor break quickly when we recover the ball after long periods without it. It’s little wonder we are so rank bad when it comes to attacking play. The only option is a long ball int...

Is it more effective than our current style?

We'll find out towards the end of the season. Doesn't look like much between them at present.

More pleasing on the eye though.

ksrclaret

Watched their game yesterday - their goal was a joy to watch. Intricate, technical, one-touch passing. You always feel with Brighton that they can play that sort of football but will always concede, especially late on. To their credit, they were also very good defensively yesterday and Leeds never l...

ksrclaret

You say it's silly to drop Wood, but what is he currently offering us? Even his biggest fans would surely admit that at the moment he's totally ineffective at best, and just getting in the way at worst. He's in the team because he's scored plenty of goals for us in previous seasons. Okay, that's und...

I massively enjoyed the football we played at Palace post-lockdown with McNeil operating in behind Vydra. I thought some of that was magnificent. We also played some really decent stuff against Bournemouth at home just pre-lockdown with Jay and Vydra giving their defence nightmares. As you can see t...

ksrclaret

I think Brady is doing okay this season, to be honest. I'd completely written him off at the start of the season because it seemed he could only manage half-hour cameos before getting injured and missing another 3 games. To his credit, he seems to have come through that period now following his nast...

ksrclaret

I've been dubious about this takeover all along but willing to give it chance. If it turns out we're in exactly the same position as before, I'd have sooner kept the current board. God knows how this is all going to turn out.

If we do manage to sign anyone this month it would probably be September before we saw them anyway.

Sadly, for a number of reasons, this is probably right.

ksrclaret

Oh dear, ksr. Yes, you're right, suggesting that you know much more about football and football management than Sean Dyche is not at all crass or stupid. No worries, be happy. ;) Even if I had suggested such a thing, I still think we can leave out the name calling. It's that sort of bickering that ...

ksrclaret

What name calling ? A silly thing to say. Anyway, moving on. 1. Yes. 2. It could be but with a squad as limited as ours, the framework would not permit it. An emphasis on attack would see us get hit on the brak and battered severely. As it is, as we've seen with the last two games, we're always in ...

ksrclaret

I've not but, then again, I'm neither crass nor stupid enough to come on here blaming our current problems on Dyche and his apparent ignorance of the basics of football. Ah, I see. So you've no management experience in football. That's a coincidence because I don't either. I do have my opinions on ...

I've been managing in general for about 10 years, but I must confess I haven't been managing footballers.

How long have you been managing footballers?

ksrclaret

According to today’s tv coverage, the new owners say there are no funds available. Dyche said there are some conversations about the possibility of funds . Doesn’t sound like we should hold our breath Dyche always goes out of his way to be overly negative and dour when it comes to recruitment. Who ...

ksrclaret

If he did he would be a massive idiot and not for a minute do I think this to be the case. We are suffering from underinvestment, not poor management. Dyche is good, but he can't preform miracles all the time. As unlikely as it is, I don't regard being able to drop the two woefully out of form stri...

I hope Mr Pace reads him the riot act on Monday. Totally unacceptable selection, performance, and post-match comments.

ksrclaret

We would surely jump with joy to be described as "toothless". That's very generous.

ksrclaret

Dyche on striker selection... “It’s not about loyalty," he said. "It’s about players I think are playing well, players that are active, players doing the job they’re meant to do.” I don't bother listening to him anymore, but it's absolutely incredible if he's actually said that. What the **** is an...

Stop ****ing around. Sort a ****ing right footed wide player instead of having 3 left footers that have to cut inside. Drop strikers not scoring.

Those are all great ideas, but you assume that Dyche will pick players fairly and actually give new signings a game within 6 months.

Pope 6 Lowton 6 Tarkowski 6 Mee 6 Pieters 4 JBG 4 Brownhill 5 Westwood 5 Brady 5 Barnes 3 Wood 3 McNeil 7 Vydra 6 Rodriguez 6 I’ve had just about enough.

Sickener from Dyche today. He’s in a hole and he doesn’t dare dig himself out of it for fear of being shown up.

Disgraceful starting line up.

They always have been under Yawn Dyche

He’s always been incredibly slow to make changes, but he’s crossed the line with Wood and Barnes. The two of them must be embarrassed each week to see their names on the board.

ksrclaret

Burnley is no longer a meritocracy. Players are picked based on favouritism rather than form and quality.

If the West Ham defence are tired after an hour against the sh1te we started with, they’ve no business being professional footballers.

Worrying that the manager couldn’t or wouldn’t see that.

I swear I’ll give up this year if I see that useless sh1te starting a game for us again up top.

They are shot. Even Dyche has had to withdraw the pair of them.

ksrclaret

Right come on Vydra. Get yourself a goal and then even Dyche won’t get away with snubbing you any longer.

ksrclaret

No changes to the sh1te up front?

Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather!

ksrclaret

Best case scenario now is he hooks the sh1te up front, brings on the actual footballers, they do the business and then even Dyche can’t justify starting the sh1te again next game.
