NewClaret

As gutting as it is for us to hear we were close to getting him on loan for a season, just imagine how bad it is for City fans imagining Palmer / Foden being their future.

Huge error from Pep.

Kompany probably would of played him left back

Tbf I’d prefer him to Vitinho.

I was under the impression that he was on his way to us but Chelsea got him and let us have Fofana

Edit: just seen subsequent posts.

Why do people dislike him so much? I wouldn’t say he’s particularly ‘not nice’.

I read even Tarks said he annoys him in games

NewClaret

I think we tend to massively over rate our own players ability’s. He looks a decent talent but to date I haven’t ever come away from a match and thought he looks a level above (like Ings/Trippier did at times in there younger years). I suspect he will have a good premier league career but I can’t i...

NewClaret

If he could back up his ability with effort, we would have a great player but he is far too lazy/uninterested I don’t think he works as hard as Koleosho did, but I don’t notice a lack of effort. Not in the same way I did with Dwight in his latter years with us (who always tracked back by the way, j...

NewClaret

I can’t find his thread, sorry, but noticed when I watched the game back that he put the cross in for JBL’s miss and then for Fofana’s. Brilliant deliveries. Then he should’ve won us a penalty. A couple of points here: 1. He put two of the best crosses in from the right I think we’ve seen all year. ...

NewClaret

No doubts. And that is even relative to other sides, who must also get some tough decisions. But as Luton and Forest have both directly benefitted from ref’s errors against us, I find it hard to believe their impact is as great as it is on us. We’ve shot ourselves in both feet often, and been robbe...

Yep Oh and our resident, self proclaimed m̶a̶n̶ c̶h̶i̶l̶d̶ football expert KRBFC claimed he was also playing through the middle, in yet another disparaging comment made to another poster.

Obafemi thread
Foster thread
And funnily enough the "Fitness" thread

Well covered then

I was going to say I’ll check them out but likely don’t need to read them to know what they’ll say.

NewClaret

No chance we’re staying up now.

Hope we beat Sheffield United and potentially catch Luton, although even that’s unlikely as they have an easier run now.

And we certainly wouldn't be debating on other threads

Which thread is the fitness debate on?

NewClaret

Can't see how we keep Benson this summer he'll be fuming, Zaroury maybe it was agreed a loan was best so maybe happy coming back. Whittaker looks to have more potential than both and would score loads in our setup Benson and Zaroury signed 5 year deals so I guess that’s our choice. I think a lot of...

NewClaret

I mean it’s incredibly harsh to judge him on a game where his side had like 10% of the ball. Put him in our side where we’ll have 75% of the ball and watch him cook. True enough, and I haven’t watched him a lot to be fair, I just don’t think we’ll be able to afford whatever exorbitant fee they are ...

NewClaret

The three most pressing positions that I think Clarets were unanimous in saying were priorities for this PL campaign still remains... I do believe in Lyle and I'm convinced that he will come good for us again but man we really do need, arguably two more strikers. Lets hope Massengo can be that DM d...

NewClaret

Would love Whittaker but think we'd struggle unless we made a lot of money from the fire sale but still don't think we'd pay his going rate. Unless Plymouth and players we have available would be open to part exchange. Benson and Zaroury for Whittaker I’ve heard about this lad but every time I’ve w...

NewClaret

Do you think Kompany signed Massengo as one for the future then? We haven’t seen much of the lad, but I hope like you that he can cut it in a Defensive midfield position next season. At least the lad didn’t cost us a small fortune unlike some of Kompany’s other players with potential. Come on Noah ...

NewClaret

Looked a penalty in live action and it’s a penalty on the repeat viewing. We’ve been poor this season and very much the architects of our own downfall in a lot of ways but my god we’ve had some shite decisions Agree entirely with this. Managed to watch it back now and cannot work out for the life o...

Tella's closing down set the tempo for us last season - I do get whey we didn't give Saints 20 million for him though Me too. Firstly though, well done to him. Delighted for him that he’s bagged another title and will be forever grateful for what he did for us. Now to your point, I’m struggling whe...

NewClaret

I guess I'm in the minority, but I just don't rate O'Shea. Yes, 100% effort, but positioning and decision making aren't good enough. We'd sell him at a loss. I don’t think we would for a minute, especially with his G/A this season and his pace stats. You look at players with experience of playing i...

NewClaret

He was played on the right wing in the first half and then swapped places with Bevan and went up front in the second. Set up the opener by beating his man and putting a cross in from the right. Showed some good pace, strength and dribbling in flashes. Scrapped well in defence, remember one crunchin...

How did Masara play?

NewClaret

Hadn’t realised that. Thought they’d been demoted. It does show the uphill battle we face and investment required to get to the next level.

NewClaret

The WHU coufal foul was one such crucial VAR not given that would’ve been against us. 2-0 and it’s much harder for them to stage a recovery.

NewClaret

I would only say forest away Luton at home and Villa away are games that the poor decisions by officiating has cost us. Purely because of the time left in the game, that would put us on 5 extra points and a point less each for Forest and Luton Take your point on the time remaining. Obviously that’s...

Fair enough. Feel we’ve had some quite straight answers from Bellamy when he’s been filling in.

NewClaret

Watched the game on TV, in normal time without replays for me no penalty then on replays it was a penalty and then watching another angle maybe a pen and then another thought I’m not sure. I guess it wasn’t clear and obvious. I’ll have to try and watch it back. At first watch it looked like another...

Thought this was going to be about the Odobert penalty call today?

Not watched that back but it looked a pen to me live. Assuming it wasn’t given lack of discussion on it…

If you’re winning 1-0 you have 3 pts that’s what we lost
Please see the other posts if it’s too confusing

But we did not lose 3 points for conceding a goal since we still secured one for a draw.

No we didn't. It's just thiese righteous types that have to look for something. Hoping they hear a boo. Its pathetic.

Think it’s that we didn’t lose they have to find something else.

NewClaret

And Verbruggens after his error costing them a goal. The other keeper we wanred Shows how hard it is for keepers in this league I can only put it down today to mental pressure. He will never have done that in training. It's unfathomable. Just watched it back and it’s almost like he let it go across...

Been massive on muric being picked from game one this season but that mistake is indefensible it’s an absolute shocker. Larsen miss in the first half is also a shocker has to score. Foster and fofana awful, especially foster today, looked like the Foster of last season today. Brownhill with great e...

Muric’s howlers in the last two games have cost us four points and any realistic chance of staying up.

3, I think, but anyone slagging Trafford has had a mare today because he hasn’t made an error as bad as Muric’s in the last two games. No doubt about it.

NewClaret

Even the most ardent Muric fan, which I am, cannot defend that.

Muric has cost us 3 points in the last 2 games and if you’ve slagged Trafford off this season you have to also accept Muric’ failings.

No doubt about that. A fantastic signing.

I went in this week and they were queuing out the door for renewals which was a bit of a shock. Like the old days before everything was done online and in many ways nice to see despite mine being a really quick query I had to queue ages for!

NewClaret

Listened to Kompany’s presser earlier and made it quite clear he’s joining without saying it. Good news - he looks a good player and great to pick him up on a free.

NewClaret

Could turn out to be our best signing of the current crop. Brilliant player in my opinion.

NewClaret

Great interview. Even an old curmudgeon like me couldn't help but love this guy. Still don't believe he paid a load of money for shares though....! If it was me I'd say sack VK tomorrow and appoint him as manager. If he asked me to run up Pendle Hill in a mankini and a straw boater I'd be off like ...

Good post NewClaret (quoted just a portion as a response so as to not clog the thread up). Yes, I see the list you’ve given there and whilst obviously player sales will be our lifeblood to continue as we are, it’s still very much a gamble/risk that we make the return required on those to subsidise ...

The worry is that they might not want to throw money into the club in hopes of getting more out. So far they have put nothing into the club, and have given no indication that they ever will. Taking money out is what they do. Hence the money at group level will not filter down. Similar with fundrais...

Burnley FC refer to him as the club president in their official match programme. I’d expect the football club to be far more likely to be correct than the Burnley Express. He’s also referred to as the president in this story on the club’s website.

How odd.

NewClaret

If Talk Sport really did say “he couldn’t wait to get away” then that is total bllx. Big difference between wanting to get away and not being willing to come back.

In all honesty I think he’s a great player but not the best defensively and not what we needed in a relegation scrap.
