Should be 2-0 up in all honesty.

All the defence is playing well. Strikers/wide men need to do more.

CoolClaret

Brilliant defending by Esteve to set that Odobert chance up

We don't have a single player starting today that's numbered between 1-11.

Please bring back numbers 1-11.

This thread is the best example of why most dog owners are the most selfish people on the planet. Do you really think dogs like having silly clothes etc put on them then they have to pose to have their photos taken. (for what reason) Do you not think this experience is unenjoyable and stressful eno...

Saddened to hear what you're going through Roper but I and every Claret is wishing you all the very best. It sounds incredibly challenging and takes real strength and bravery to share this online, for which I commend you in doing so. We're all here supporting you and want to let you know that you're...

first one i've watched. how rude are they?

they just cut in mid conversation and start something else.

found it frustrating.

That's exactly how I found it. Never let him answer and bombarded questions - poor really.

CoolClaret

I think you'll see a bit of rebellion / pushback on the big social media firms with some digital rebels.

Instagram was the most deleted app of 2023 - I think a few young 'uns want to get away from the madness/intrusiveness of them...

Certainly isn't a contest but here's one of my fluffy friends:

^JJ on the overlap - a good watch, though some of the questions he gets asked are a bit daft/doesn't give him chance to properly respond...

Definitely got the impression that he has more pull/influence at the club than some on here seemed to think.

A local do doesnt raise 60k. Its a fundraiser You have quantitive data on that? We manage to raise funds just fine in Burnley on a match day, no? So what's the difference? Not saying have pie and peas gala in a working mans club FFS - there's plenty of good quality, upmarket venues in the area. Jus...

Its a fundraiser for BFCITC not a BFCITC activity.....

So?

Be nice if a local biz in the Burnley Borough could host something like that. Not sure why some official club events are taking place in Manchester now.

CoolClaret

They aren't playing great stuff but I think far too many are under estimating just how hard that job is right now. Everton are an absolute basket case - I mean, who's even running the shop? Chairman died, Moshiri wants out, new lot are dodgy as heck, trying to move stadium which they can't really af...

You'd have thought the BFCITC dinner would've taken place somewhere ...erm... in the community, wouldn't you?

CoolClaret

I said this after the Wolves ‘free kick’ in our game. European matches are much more physical contests than in our country. Refs actually need to see a foul, rather than someone falling over. You can see how bewildered they are when they don’t get rewarded for ‘contact’ after years of being told co...

CoolClaret

Just had a look at those minutes conceded. We are not outliers from minutes 30-45. We have 8 scored and 12 conceded. Similar to several. Don’t know about just the last few minutes of the half. However where we ARE outliers (with Sheffield) is minutes 76-90. We have 6 scored and 18 conceded. But our...

CoolClaret

It's very difficult to compare eras in terms of discipline, one of the refs we've recently had has dished out over 120 yellow cards in 24 games - what do you do with that ? It's nuts I'm also not convinced we got VK's first choices in signings Seem to be a lot of excuses being made for VK (not just...

CoolClaret

You have two choices on is the one in the OP. Where you use Brownhill as the number 10 instead of Amdouni and Odobert breaking the lines through the centre and arriving late in the box. This is the team I would have played from the start with a midfield 3. I thought Brownhill did that ok last seaso...

CoolClaret

nope, the second the game starts it's on the players. How many goals did we concede last season in those circumstances when we had players who were better than most of the other teams ? I think maybe 2 or 3 right at the beginning of the season whilst the players where figuring it out and that inclu...

CoolClaret

Difference being Drogba was the main man in a dominating Chelsea team with big money signings. Kane became the main man in a very young inexperienced Tottenham team that weren’t anyway near title contenders at the time. What I was trying to get at, is basically saying that a Drogba type player in a...

It is a frighteningly long list. Anybody like to hazard a guess at the total monthly wage bill ?

We won't be paying all of it right now with loans etc but just say that we were probably around £1-1.5 mill / month.

CoolClaret

same for loads of teams that concede at the end of both halves, Man Utd being the prime example recently. Ten Hags fault a player dives in and gives away a pen or that players don't close down ? Find me a single manager or coach in the history of the game that doesn't say "once they cross the white...

I believe they have money, not billionaire money but a good deal of it. I also believe they have already cashed a profit for themselves on their original contribution to the sale transaction and upfront fees, I just do not know by how much, it is a win all the way for them now, the question is just...

VK has a lot more to answer for than Trafford and Muric combined !!

Agreed.

CoolClaret

Every club uses the word 'project' Imagine being triggered by the word 'project' Certainly not triggered :D I used 'project' metaphorically and somewhat humorously to try and summarise how posters think the outcome of ALK's time with the club will play out, which so far, has been quite a mixed bag.

CoolClaret

Yet you haven't shown any such tolerance whatsoever towards Trafford and in your campaign against him. Wrong. Gave plenty of 7s and the odd 8/9 My argument that has remained consistant was - Traff did nothing to get the shirt in the first place - That if we do want to play this high risk/high rewar...

CoolClaret

I don't think it's the manager's instructions to make a complete balls of it. Of course - but if it's a high risk gameplan then every now and then stuff like that is bound to happen. People take poor touches all over the park, the problem is a poor touch or a misplaced pass deep in your own half us...

CoolClaret

He'd already got away with it once before they scored - I'll stand by my three because mistakes like that, in my view, make it an abysmal performance. He got away with it because that's the instructions. High risk high reward, which is on the managers' instruction. No doubt it's a blunder; I have j...

CoolClaret

The tedious and weird Trafford v Muric thing continues. It was a 3/10 performance because the error could have been avoided and it appeared to have a negative impact all round, it cost us the game, irrespective of the context of the game. I would have given him 3 if it was a mid table dead rubber. ...

CoolClaret

Partly responsible for the red card at Palace but Muric cost us with the worst goalkeeping mistake of the season. Therefore for me, Muric’s performance was more costly and worse. Traff did similar at Luton but it deflected wide. It's not worthy of a 3 in my opinion - it was a bad mistake in a huge ...

CoolClaret

I like the idea of bringing in young, technically gifted footballers. Of course there’s scope to have a more balanced approach and ensure there’s enough know-how and experience to knit things together, but I’m still onboard. So long as the club’s financial future isn’t jeopardised, I’m happy that w...

CoolClaret

Brilliant post mate.

Saddened to read of some of the trauma you've faced but happy to read that you've managed to turn a corner and over come it.

Kudos on reaching out, getting help and encouraging others to do so.

CoolClaret

Fair enough, what’s interesting is that link has the term in the title but I listened to the first couple of minutes and Kompany doesn’t mention it. My point really is, I don’t think it’s been an over used term by anyone at the club. I don’t hear it rolled out in interview after interview. It’s jus...

CoolClaret

So where/how does it end you think? A few small step backs but ultimately a period of sustained success in the Premier League? Or slowly petering out and lulling to our sort of level pre 2013? Or, goodness forbid, anything worse. For me it could still go one of three ways - I'm not convinced either ...

CoolClaret

Is the OP on a wind up or?... Losing two play-off finals on the bounce would be torturous. Can you not remember walking down Wembley Way after the final in 2009 and seeing how dejected the Sheff United fans were? I can remember thinking how bad must they be feeling right now, along with being pretty...

CoolClaret

there is a reason there are levels in football, one of the key factors is concentration - the TOP players have it and rarely make mistakes but many gain it through experience - we have neither, it's amazing how surprised some are by a lot of things we have seen this season. For sure - that's a huge...

CoolClaret

Kompany has to take the blame for the decisions with recruitment, tactics and in game substitutions but the amount of individual mistakes the players have made you cannot blame him for them all. Not kompanys fault muric played that pass yesterday or that Trafford decided to come and claim for the b...

If Bhatia wins this and gets an invite he's getting lumped on.

Matsuyama as well for me - can't wait for it!!

CoolClaret

A huge part of the problem is that one man holds so much power at the football club, and that man is a 37 year old novice with an ego the size of the training ground. Doesn’t help how Pace talks about him in the media either. He’s supposed to be answering to Pace but it appears to be the other way ...

CoolClaret

It could work but the dof and manager would have to be exeptionally well aligned for it to. I can’t see Kompany ever being under someone’s else’s control or asking their input. His recent team selections are all over the place like when I couldn’t win on football manager or something. Randomly just...

CoolClaret

The DOF usually chooses a lot of the players and the manager themselves in some setups. So the team manager usually becomes more of a coach for the players the dof has last say on but they get everyone’s feedback from owners to coaches. I’m not a fan of it tbh as usually the dof isn’t as good as th...

CoolClaret

I said that VK needs to figure out if he wants to be a DoF or a manager, not that we should make him our DoF. I'm firmly of the view that we need a director of football/technical director/sporting director - but its not Kompany. Its someone who can challenge and peer review Kompany’s thinking (as He...

CoolClaret

It's not absurd to argue that with quicker possession, moving the ball faster and pacey wingers we win both those games against established PL teams. We have a manager problem. It's an issue for the fanbase because in the end it's admitting that the fantasy is over. But no one can watch those games...

CoolClaret

What a plank you are! Playing to the audience. I haven’t said Kompany is ‘the worst thing to happen to the club’. I think he should go and I’ve said that since late Sep/Oct. I got banned for starting a Kompany out thread. Some of us discuss what we believe in not just want you think people want to ...

CoolClaret

He's on track to get 40+ goals for Bayern this season, not sure he's the man to blame for their struggles. We'll see, i think the Euros this summer is massive for Kane and England, not sure we've ever had a better chance to win something since 66. He might well be - still aren't going to win the le...
