If Beyer is fit I would have him at right back against wolves and push Vitinho back to right wing with assignon suspended Interesting - could work. Just a game of huge magnitude, not sure if it'd be right to chuck Beyer in, in a position he hasn't played in for 2 seasons coming back from injury...

CoolClaret

I agree it's harsh but I don't think it's unfair. I think he's woefully short at this level and showed it again against Chelsea. We can get away with him out wide but I think its very difficult for us to ever keep a clean sheet if he plays at full back. And for the comment about him creating chance...

CoolClaret

Still think his future in the PL is either a RCB in a 3 or as a fullback, one that probably comes into midfield.

I certainly wouldn't be writing him off but O'Shea and Esteve really are looking like a good partnership.

CoolClaret

I think it's time for the Foster and Fofana double up!!! Could be a devastating duo - both tenacious, powerful athletes with an eye for goal... PL defenders won't be used to playing against a front two like that. -----------Muric Vitinho-O'Shea-Esteve-Taylor ---------Berge----Cullen --JBL-----------...

CoolClaret

He could have given away 4 goals very easily. I'm not sure that's in the instructions. He's got away with a hell of a lot this season. He's also given us a lot of energy and pressing across the pitch. Will probably play rb next game (which he's better at than at rm) but I do find your personal crus...

CoolClaret

I'd prefer to go into this period like we are coming in hot than some of the other sides that have looked toothless for months.

We can do it!

CoolClaret

Esteve has impressed me the last two games - looks to have formed a good partnership with O'Shea and Muric and settled into it. It's probably the first time where we've had sort of centre halves that can play that higher line and defend in space, due to their physical attributes, recovery pace etc, ...

CoolClaret

I’m not arguing with you. I don’t really know why you’re trying to find a disagreement here, or generally get so sensitive about anyone who says anything remotely positive about Trafford. I'm not mate at all. I just disagree with your conclusion - I think one of the reasons that the defence has loo...

CoolClaret

Actually I think the problem with Traff if we’re really honest is that he’s played well enough not to be second fiddle. In a marginally stronger team (in front of him) he’d be ready for this level. The problem has been we’ve worked him too much this season; Muric would’ve coped better but in a stro...

CoolClaret

Amdouni I thought was a real talent early season, now he looks awful and I don’t think he’s ever really put a shift in. He needs dropping and he’ll be nowhere near the team on Tuesday. The others I think all have talent and were probably players we couldn’t have either afforded or attracted in the ...

CoolClaret

Really like Bellamy. Since he calmed down he's always come across really well. Decent bloke - good presser.

CoolClaret

What could have been if he'd played all year. One thing is for sure that if he plays like he did today and in the last game with any sort of consistency at the top level then he will move for mega money and have a phenomenal career. Some people forget that he too is only very early in his career in...

CoolClaret

Can’t really argue with any of that but I do think we signed some young players with real potential (including Ramsey), just played too many of them together. Like i've said all year though (and got pelters for it) anyone can do that, signing young players en masse... it's about having a balance an...

with 10 men*****

CoolClaret

Some were complaining about ratings last match. Sorry but if Muric's performance today is only 'very good' for you then, damn, I don't know what to tell you. 11 saves - 9 of which came from inside the box and nigh on 60 % accuracy on LONG PASSES against ten men, meaning we didn't have to deal with w...

CoolClaret

Muric, O'Shea and Esteve are looking a real PL trio. All big physical lads, O'Shea and Esteve have the speed to play with a high line and recover as well - defending very differently to what we've seen under Dyche. Muric also plays that sweeper role perfectly; doesn't hesitate, commits and has absol...

Got told this well before season started,so even though he got voted players player of the season he gets dropped! Think about it

Aye, it went round whatsapp chats - it's still b0llocks though, like most 'in the know' stuff is.

CoolClaret

Just put in one of those 'signature' performances from a Burnley keeper - up there with Heaton at Old Trafford that.

Sensational. Supreme talent.

CoolClaret

The thing that's stood out most for me is how everybody said Trafford shot stopping was miles ahead, personally I never saw it and since Murics come back in his has been outstanding It's annoying because for me it's been obvious af all season. The difference in ability is so obvious. The entire tea...

CoolClaret

The back three were absolutely sensational.

CoolClaret

Muric 10*
Assignon 6
O'Shea 9
Esteve 8
Vitinho 8
Cullen 9
Berge 8
Bruun Larsen 6
Odobert 6
Amdouni 4
Foster 6

Taylor 8
Brownhill 7

Darren England 0

WE CAN DO IT!!!

CoolClaret

That is one of our all time great PL performances.

Sensational. Muric, O'Shea, Assignon, Cullen, Berge absolutely incredible.

WE CAN DO IT

Muric and Cullen transformed us the past few games. Makes you wonder why sometimes

If it ain't broke...

CoolClaret

Feels like the last 10 at Wembley this.

CoolClaret

Muric is our best player. We'd be outside of the relegation zone if he'd have started the season, that simple.

CoolClaret

Really wanted Amdouni to put a stamp on todays game but for the second time this season we've gone down to 10 men, subbed Amdouni and looked better for it.

That is a huge indictment for me.

I have it on good authority he verbally abused a young waitress in the Italian in Burnley when the team was out celebrating the promotion which got back to the manager

Sounds like b0llocks.

CoolClaret

It's genuinely insane how much money is in this game and how many eyeballs are on it and you get a useless c*nt like Darren England paid handsomely to officiate the game.

CoolClaret

EVEN if the penalty stands (which it shouldn't have), how the hell is that a second bookable offence?

CoolClaret

I'm in disbelief.

What's the point?

CoolClaret

The PL is a f*cking joke.

CoolClaret

You are joking me.

He is.

We are creating so much more going forward from his distribution.

Bit of a mad man but it's needed with a high line playing as a sweeper.

I genuinelu wonder where we would be if Muric had started the season.

Bonkers isn't it.

Some on here thought I was mad - he's our most talented player by far. Insane ability.

How come we are so shite defensively, so disorganised and weak, yet going forward we`re not that bad

We defend in much more space than we tended to do for most of Dyche's tenure in the PL, very hard for the CBs when they're running back to goal and the fullbacks have little protection.

CoolClaret

Not Vitinho's fault, he isn't a left back.

If Chaz can do 45 I'd stick him on for Amdouni and get Vitinho back out on the right.

CoolClaret

Need to calm it down a bit for a few minutes.

CoolClaret

Muric has started really well. Some decent passes, good save and a commanding claim.

Vitinho isn't a left back - we all know that.

CoolClaret

Great start - looking every bit a PL outfit so far.

CoolClaret

Come on Amdouni, show us something today.

Really good manager is Moyes. Grumbling West Ham fans don't know how good they've got it at the min.

They're possibly the most deluded bunch out there; pure insanity some of the crap they come out with.

CoolClaret

I think today is the day in which Luton run out of steam; probably a hangover from giving away a 3-0 lead against Bournemouth, still have a ton of players out and are playing Spurs away who will be keen to put a 4-0 loss right in front of their home fans.

They have gone seriously backwards - I thought when we played them in the second fixture at their place (yes, where we famously won the league at Ewood) they had vastly improved since the first encounter. Good job the Venkys didn't back JDT. Look in absolute freefall now with no real identity and to...

Surely before coming to their decision they have considered all the seasons before their arrival that fans have had this benefit and decided it worthy to bring a little bit of realism back to prices.
