Easy apparently according to KRBFC and GhandisFlipFlop - any dosser can bang 49 PL goals in 144 apps for Burnley!

Don’t make stuff up coolclaret. I never said it was easy. I said that 49 in 144 doesn’t tell the full story.

I’d be very disappointed if Foster went to AFCON

Eddie Howe on borrowed time. Not good enough, their owners will expecting a top four challenge.

Their injury list is the reason for their poor form.

gandhisflipflop

‘Awful footballers’ simply do not score 49 goals in 144 PL appearances - especially for Burnley. The whole team was set up to accommodate him. A lot of games we may as well have been playing with 10 men. He scored 3 today, which will be a boost to his goals to games ratio but I’ll guarantee he will...

Much under rated, and definitely under appreciated footballer is Chris Wood.

He’s an awful footballer

We basically need six wins plus a few draws to stay up. The home games against Wolves, Fulham, Brentford, Bournemouth, Forest & Luton plus Sheff United away are the ones realistically available. Unless matches like today can spring a surprise. 6 wins and 2 draws puts us on 31 points which won’t be ...

So we’re not allowed an option, because you disagree with that opinion?

Boscat; stop ‘liking’ every post, say something or leave me alone.

Nothing wrong with opinion, it’s the repetition that gets tiresome.

She had a good game yesterday however the virtue signalling noise that surrounded it doesn’t help. She is a referee, the same as any other referee in the country and it barely even deserved a mention.

Yes but 31 seasons of data can’t be ignored.

The stats are there, I’m not suggesting Burnley can’t be the outliers. All I am saying is in 31 seasons no other team has stayed up with less than 10 points at Christmas.

And we don’t have less than 10 points

gandhisflipflop

⬆️⬆️ Burnley need a manager that’s got the experience, knowledge and abilities to reflect and make changes where they’re needed and more importantly when they’re needed. No. Burnley need the fans to get their head out of their arses and support the team. The vast majority do but like with a lot of ...

Just turned 19, 4 goals in 6 starts?

By your logic, Dyche would have been potted at the end of (or perhaps before the end of) his first season in the Premier League. I dread to think where we might have been, had such a step been taken. Kompany has to be given time, even if it means a relegation. This is his squad that he is building ...

Disrespectful nonsense. He would have ended up going to spurs with Pochettino for about 30 mill if he hadnt had the knee injury. He was fantastic technically, strong as an oxe and pretty rapid on top of that. Its a close fight between Ings and Jay Rod for best forward ive seen in a Burnley shirt wi...

At his best he was international standard and would have been going to the World Cup in Brazil. Then he lost just about two years of his career to the worst injury a footballer can have followed by an illness that was close to taking his life. He'd have been a Spurs player but for that injury too. ...

gandhisflipflop

Because no PL team has ever gone down with sub-20 points, kept the same manager and been promoted, nevermind walked the league. You can't lose 75% of your games one season, change nothing and then suddenly start winning every week. It doesn't work like that. The obvious precedent is Derby, who went...

gandhisflipflop

I just worry about losing a high percentage of the fan base. A heard a lot of people towards the end of the Dyche era saying they wouldn't be renewing their ST because they had got bored with the style of play and poor results. The sacking of Dyche, new owners and VK was enough for fans to give it ...

gandhisflipflop

Many of those who have been banging on about sacking VK for weeks on end are the very same ones who were continually banging on about sacking Dyche, and the most laughing thing is that some of the SD/VK Out crowd are now saying we shouldn't have sacked Dyche. If you want VK potted, then fair enough...

Whilst you may think you have some sort of superior undiscovered scouting ability, i think the majority of fans are aware of this.

I can imagine Pace doesn't regret giving Dyche £100m as his aim was for us to play entertaining football not hoofball. Doesn't put bums on seats especially when you are charging walk ons £60 for the privelege. I dont think he has succeeded yet but hopefully there is a good level of football to be s...

A manager that achieved two top half premier league finishes, including a European stint on pennys.

I would suggest it’s yourself that lacks football knowledge

Well then you would be wrong, not for the first time.

From the quoted words of the man himself:

It's there in black and white isn't it?

No, it’s not black and white. It’s your interpretation which is wide of the mark

Haven't we just done the same thing but using Vitinho on the right instead of Maatsen on the left?

No.

gandhisflipflop

We weren't doing that at the start of the season before Taylor came in. Given that Roberts was the one commonly coming in to midfield last year it's probably more a reflection of how he has struggled. We absolutely played with an inverted full back at the start. We didn’t have a left back holding t...

Think that’s got more to do with the quality of the league we are now in than Taylor to be honest.

I disagree. Many fans are understanding the importance of that left back position for the style of play that we adopted last season. It should be the number 1 priority

What has demonstrably changed?

I’m not sure how you are not able to see what’s changed? We don’t use inverted full backs anymore, instead opting to drop to a more conventional flat back 4 with both full backs offering supporting roles which is more Taylor’s game.

gandhisflipflop

Left back’s probably been one of the least problem area as unexpectedly Taylor is doing ok. He has had to change the system in order to make use of Taylor at left back. It’s one of the major reasons for our inconsistency to date. Make no mistake, we will be after a left back to quickly get back to ...

Hate to break it to you but we will likely lose at Brighton too, they’ve been at this level longer, spent considerably more and have better players, they’re a better team than us.

They haven’t been at this level longer.

Think that was crying out for Odobert. Just don’t think VK trusts tgem (the other young wingers) to do the defensive work. Hard to argue given we conceded two from Zaroury’s side vs West Ham pretty much as soon as he came on. The change of shape was responsible for the collapse against West Ham not...

Sadly, it’s looking that way.
