Both Burnley and Sheffield United will finish between 10th and 6th - that would be my guess tbh. Good to see unfashionable teams doing well. Chelsea are doing better than I thought and Leicester doing great. That’s the top 4 in all likelihood but anything from 5th down is obtainable for a less fashi...

Really have no clue what VAR are looking at. We get absolutely nothing from VAR continually. Almost a third of the season gone and we have been given nothing subjective by VAR. we just want correct and consistent decisions... Friend had one of his better games..which to use an analogy his usual stan...

As good a performance as you are likely to see....however, you would have to say that West Ham are like a pub team at the minute....

We have excellent home form and now need to start nicking games away from home. Watford would be a good place to start.

Hibsclaret

Got to wonder why didn’t Lee Mason spot the obvious shirt pull on Mee beforehand? Lee Mason the man that handed Preston there 3 - 2 win on a plate all those years ago. I think he missed the most blatant handball on the line that you are ever likely to see. I suspect he is from the Stevie Wonder sch...

Big team bias is a funny one. Think there’s plenty of evidence so far this season that big teams are also the victim of some bizarre decisions that arguably with VAR should have gone a different way. Until they actually get consistency in how VAR is working, it’s going to be difficult to say whethe...

Hibsclaret

I’m sorry I don’t get this ‘big team bias’. What about Firmino’s disallowed goal against little club Villa? And where is the statistical evidence? I think it is just the small club mentality that everyone is against us cos no one likes us etc. VAR is sh1t by the way. There is no statistical evidenc...

Hibsclaret

Also the number of them is not the issue. It is the fact that they all understand the laws but not the game. You really have to get to a point where decisions are consistent rather than the level of error or decision threshold...that really is a pointless system because you get inconsistencies from ...

You’re the joke on here, certainly one of them

Think everyone apart from Dyche and Hibsclaret would agree with you there. That’s good because as Dyche is a genius what does that make me. Dyche made his statement on Saturday so we’ll see what he does next. Once and for all I have nothing against Taylor, in fact he is chalk and cheese from this t...

It’s only when you look at the biggest club in the world, otherwise known as Leeds United, and their last 7 or 8 years to see how good we have been....

Enjoy these times while they last everyone....

Hibsclaret

They do want it to work for the bigger clubs. Let me know when we get a game changer in our favour please...not when we are 4 nil down. If Wood fouls the Leicester defender how is Jay not fouled in the 2nd minute on Saturday. As for the handball we should compare the one not given to the next one th...

Wilder has done well so far.

Hibsclaret

Spot on TV. Let’s not forget that we have outplayed Arsenal for 45 minutes this season, Wolves for a full game etc etc. The tactics in those games were spot on. We also created better chances than Chelsea last week. The thing that has cost us this season are individual errors until yesterday when ba...

Hibsclaret

I'll wait for you to answer my first question... How many times has SD chopped or changed the personnel or formation to exploit the opposition? How many times has he genuinely shocked you with his formation, selection or approach? Genuine question. Because for me , it's never. And again I'll stress...

Hibsclaret

Ok I'll play, and what exactly did he change from the game before or do differently to the norm that tactically outwitted the opposition? Oh yeah nothing different. It's the same thing, not saying it CANT be successful, just you never come off thinking "ahh what a master stroke switching them playe...

Hibsclaret

We have the same approach, with the same instructions, and play the same tactics every week regardless off opposition. Why would he blame himself? He is yet to out think or deliver a tactical masterclass to any opposition manager in this league. That's not in his skillset Not a dig, just the way he...

His record for teams like ours is unparalleled.

Bigger teams like Everton and Newcastle were better before they potted him.

If he said he would take the job on Monday would you want him in?

Unlike most of our team, you’re on form today.....

Hibsclaret

Let's not have Mee as a scapegoat for this. Dyche is so predictable every team we play knows our tactics. It is the same week in week out, when a team comes to terms with how to nullify us we could have Keane Viera Robson etc but what would it change ? They’d be blowing through their backsides afte...

Hibsclaret

They are not exactly mugs and have surprised pretty much everyone this season. Mixing it up is one thing but not getting used to an opponent with an unusual set up and making basic errors is why we lost today.

Unfortunately the defence looks to have lost confidence with Pope in goal, just like they did with Joe before.

Neither do posters, perhaps you should be pensioned off

If Joe Hart is the answer.....you can stick the question.....

Hibsclaret

Hardly inexcusable. The previous games this season we have been nowhere near as bad as today. We miss Wood badly but today was all about not having a clue how to deal with their formation more than anything else. Also, one day we might get a decision....should have had 2 definite pens and 1 I’ve see...

I can confirm I have never in my life watched a full game of Rugby League. I have seen snippets here and there, thought it’s not for me and ignored accordingly. When you get a great game of Rugby Union like the semi final or when you watch the all blacks in full flow it is excellent. Today’s game wa...

Never got going all match really but there were a few key points that lost us the match: Losing Sinclair Not getting a try after 25 phases in the first half Missing the kick in the 2nd half when just 6 behind Refs allowing the first try which was a clear forward pass - that was game over There was o...

Hey Hibs I thought this was a great post but the last line let's it down a bit. He didn't take it seriously, never in a million years.

I bet Sean and his staff use these stats to help their training and all sorts. He’s certainly not going to be displeased conceding less quality chances to the likes of Chelsea. Quite the contrary as he always talks about quality of performance etc and the stats prove that we are consistently perform...

Hibsclaret

The game is so different now that it is hard to compare just like with great players. However, what Dyche has done at Burnley is bordering on genius imo. The season before last we were in the top 4 at around Christmas (can’t remember exactly) and we went to Arsenal at the end of the season with a fa...

Quality of chances created. It’s not too hard to understand...we destroyed Chelsea on chances created and missed them. They then scored with a few half chances

I'm not sure that is quite right. I think there are only about 6 teams who have conceded more than us this season, and we conceded 68 in total last season. 27 of those came in the dramatically better second half of the season - which is in line with the 1.5 goals a game we are conceding so far this...
