He was SO far off it today. He was always 2 yards off the play. He showed zero composure on the ball and a huge lack of bravery and quality when he did get it. I could have done what he did and just lay the ball sideways and backwards all the time when there’s time and space. At this level and/or in...

Foster a big miss

A miss because we don’t have too many other effective options but, Villa apart (where he was sensational), Foster has been pretty poor over recent games.

Jakubs Tash

I get that VK was a high profile player but I’m finding it incredibly annoying how many times questions about Manchester City or questions with a Manchester City slant are asked during press conferences. He gets asked more about Manchester City than Burnley! And in fairness to him, he generally has ...

Any more news on when Taylor might be fit again?

I saw some posters say a month - was that a month from when it happened or a month from when it mentioned a week ago?

Jakubs Tash

Aah Tripps! Easily my favourite Burnley player of recent years. Consummate professional. The reason why he was so good at throw ins was because he threw the ball to a good area for the receiver, i.e. not at someone’s mid drift or at their neck, and then he had a plan of what he was going to do with...

Jakubs Tash

I think Vitinho just might be the worst player ever at Burnley at taking throw ins. Deliberates for what seems like an eternity and then just throws it to an opposition player. There doesn’t seem to be much a plan from throw ins. Trippier used to be very good at them.

According to the BBC: 'Hannes Delcroix, Jordan Beyer and Charlie Taylor all missed Burnley's defeat at Manchester City, but manager Vincent Kompany says an unnamed one of those three could return on Saturday.' Unless it was an old photo, Delcroix was pictured in training on Thursday. I haven’t seen...

I think it’s fair to say that he’s left under a bit of a cloud.

Sent off for Australia tonight in their defeat to South Korea.

Hadn’t realised he’d made it into their senior squad.

Australia 1-0 up until the 96th minute too…

Roberts has been at Burnley for two and half years and only really given us 6 good months. I know he had his illness but he was pretty underwhelming for most of his time at Burnley apart from the second half of last season. There’s very little between him and Vitinho ability wise (I personally think...

Jakubs Tash

Aren’t Beyer and Taylor injured still? Strange how posters keep putting them in the team.

Even more strange that posters keep putting Muric in goal…

Jakubs Tash

It didn’t work out. He was a punt for the u21’s (we’ve signed a number of these types).

Not every single signing is going to work out.

I’m sure we’ll all get over it.

Jakubs Tash

Can’t help but feel he’s not been given anywhere enough of a chance this season (and in his preferred position). I hope he’s back in claret and blue next season….

Purely based on effort level last night I would go:

Trafford
Roberts, Al Dakhil, O’Shea, Vitinho
Brownhill, Berge, Ramsey
Fofana, Foster, Odobert

Ekdal didn’t put in enough effort? What a strange take.

Agree. Not signing a left back (again) would be absolute negligence.

And to be honest anyone posting this kind of derogatory nonsense (or liking it) about a young lad trying his best, who helped us to gain promotion last year, might as well do one. You're not a fan.

If vk wanted a ‘proper rb’ Roberts would be starting each game from what we have, an improving Vitinhio offers more of the other aspects vk wants from a full back. Hence why he plays. What, exactly, does he offer? How does he offer more than Roberts? Is it how weak he is defensively? How he cowers ...

Jakubs Tash

Call me old fashioned but I’d think we need a left back at left back than continue our struggles with putting centre halves, right back or utility right footer in that position. Taylor isn’t fit and won’t be for a while. I agree. I’d also like to see a proper right full back playing on the other si...

Jakubs Tash

The Charlie Taylor that is out for next month or more leaving us with no left back whatsoever? Delcroix, Al Dakhil, Roberts and Vitinho have all played left back. Wouldn’t shock me if he tried Esteve there either. Not all great options (just like right back) but they are options. If Taylor is fit, ...

I’d say left back is a tad more glaring given we have several options at rb

And ALL well below the level Charlie Taylor is at left back.

Jakubs Tash

I’m amazed we haven’t even been linked with one right full back. It doesn’t matter who joins or stays, if we have to watch Vitinho at right back for the next 5 months we’ll be down by the end of March.

Looks like he past 2024’s version of Steve Morgan for that goal!

Re: Cochrane, I notice he was taken off at half time when 2-0 down at home to Dundee on Tuesday....before Hearts turned it around and won 3-2.

Noticed one of the tweets for one of the goals said that Richardson dinked it over Pickford….do they have another Pickford or is Jordan Pickford playing?

Jakubs Tash

It’s obvious we need a second choice left back - not having proper cover in that position would just be incompetent management Absolutely - and succession planning is required. Get another left back in so they can learn and grown into the role now rather than in August/September because there is a ...

Fofana?

Yes, he needs to take a spot in the 25 but I think there’ll be a few spots to fill with departures or some players will just be left out altogether.

Jakubs Tash

Does a revised squad list get resubmitted after the last day of the winter transfer window? If so, does that give the option to remove players ruled out for the remainder of the season, from the 25 man squad? As far as I’m aware, yes. So this is one spot that can be taken by another player for the ...

Saint back in for benson according to sacha Benny was obviously a hero last season but my gut feeling is that there are plenty of left footed right wingers out there similar in style but better than Manuel Benson. Kompany clearly thinks he isn’t up to it or maybe Benson doesn’t have the heart or st...

Strange breed are Burnley fans (or maybe it’s just football fans in general). Always doing their own players down and what you might get for them if they were to be sold.

Let’s hope his old manager from MK Dons can get the best out of him and find his best position.

I had a succession of proto champ manager ‘style’ games on the C64 that I would play for hours. I had one called Football Director which came out in about 1986 and was so basic by today’s standards, pick your 11 and watch the clock tick up. Weirdly addictive. https://youtu.be/BUkAponSXMo?si=FacePTC...

Lots that is lost in translation in his interview - the above comments aren’t really fair. How does his English stack up against everyone else’s Ivorian/French…?

“Lazy” clearly means he’s a chilled character off the pitch.

Why didn’t anyone quote the positive things he said in his interview?

Good luck to him!

At least he looks and sounds happy and excited to be here in the clubs official interview with him. A good start.

Jakubs Tash

I don’t disagree with most of the comments made by posters re playing Beyer at right back or that he has played in that position previously for other clubs and his country. But I still don’t see why Kompany would start to play him at right back when he has shown zero inclination to do so up until now.

Jakubs Tash

The thought of playing Beyer at right back is that he has a transferable skill set to play there (can carry the ball, composed when under pressure, has played there before, has been a slightly weak link at cb in recent months, would add extra physicality to our team) and if we are adding yet anothe...

Jakubs Tash

Why is right back being prioritised over left back. We have one competent left back at the club and are one injury away from leaving us exposed on that side for half a season. No point playing centre backs as full backs, they are massively different positions "We have one competent left back at the...

Might be because we’re running out of options.

The manager will (and has) play AAD at full back before Beyer.

Jakubs Tash

I do agree regarding full backs, but I think Centre mid is still a really important position. If we can retain the ball a bit further up the pitch (instead of between our cbs and keeper) then we will have much better fortunes at both ends of the pitch I agree with you that midfield and ball retenti...

If we signed a centre back we could move Beyer to right back, Beyer and Taylor at full back is more than good enough Fans on this forum keep saying about putting Beyer at right back… I know he has played there for previous club(s) but he hasn’t played right back once for VK in 18 months - what make...

Brownhill doesn't make our strongest 11 if we sign Gueye

We'll see.... but midfield is the least of our issues (still).

If we don't strengthen the full back positions we don't stand a chance - no matter who else they sign in other positions.

If them three were to come off I imagine we will line up like: Trafford Vitinho Nyamsi, O’Shea, Taylor JBG, Gueye, Berge, Odobert Fofana, Foster I know you have probably posted that team to get reactions from people defending Brownhill, Amdouni and Beyer but, when you post a team like that, it's pr...

Reading this thread, I think it would a good idea for most of the people that have commented on VK’s press conference quotes from today to actually listen to the press conference for context.

Jakubs Tash

Vitinho makes mistakes but you can see the improvement in him end he’s confident enough to try and take the ball forward. Is this a bit like the ‘he tries really hard’ thing? Personally, I need a bit more than that. If he’s shown improvement it’s from an incredibly low base. He’s nowhere near the r...
