BurnleyFC

Bad team selection. Bad tactics. Players devoid of confidence who should’ve been taken out of the side yonks ago.

Groundhog Day again.

I've said it before. I can't blame Trafford anymore. It's now Vincent's fault for not replacing him in the side.
I actually feel sorry for Trafford. He must be so devoid of confidence it's unbelievable.

Vincent has handled the whole goalkeeping scenario dreadfully.

BurnleyFC

NOT Trafford’s fault - Vincent’s fault.

Trafford should’ve been benched weeks ago.

BurnleyFC

Wrong line up again.

Not that I thought we’d get anything this afternoon, mind.

BurnleyFC

I’m not expecting anything.

I do wonder if the extension was built into the original contract somehow and triggered on Promotion?
Same with Zaroury and Vitinho.

The contract scenario with Vitinho was that if we only paid a million, but think he’s ******* brilliant then he would get an extension.

BurnleyFC

Would really enjoy a Luton win tonight.

BurnleyFC

Too much money is that.

A million would do nicely.

BurnleyFC

Tuchel to Burnley?

BurnleyFC

Some absolute crackers mentioned so far that would make my list:

Naked Gun
Pulp Fiction
The Matrix
Shutter Island
Hot Fuzz

I’ll also throw Big Trouble in Little China in there. A cult classic.

BurnleyFC

It’s to be hoped he didn’t have the same opinion as Ahmedhodzic who didn’t think Mason Holgate deserved a red against Brighton.

BurnleyFC

Regarding the Lyle foster occurrence it's what any normal football manager would have done. You offer him time out to sort his problems out & get him the treatment & all the support he needs internally. I can't think of any football manager that would have adopted the stance of selecting him & igno...

BurnleyFC

They’ve decided to sponsor the opposition’s goals instead, so they get more exposure.

BurnleyFC

A great player from that era.

Condolences to his family.

Would you try harder if he ranted like that at you?

I’m not a professional footballer but I’d hazard a guess that it doesn’t bother them too much. Win as a team and lose as a team.

They get far more vitriol from their own fans for starters.

99.9% of the time I think criticising someone for not going to matches is unreasonable and stupid but letting us know you're OK with a price rise on something you have no intention of buying is a bit out there.

Eh?

Have you mistaken me for someone else?

BurnleyFC

There’s plenty to criticise VK for this season, but an old video of him raising his voice during a team talk at his previous club isn’t one of them.

They’re professional footballers, not children.

After the season we've endured, you'd be happy with a price rise?

They can obviously see people coming

I’m realistic.

A massive squad of staff and players, coupled with (hopefully) a promotion next season doesn’t come cheap.

BurnleyFC

There’s going to be price rise and I’m OK with that as long as it’s realistic.

Bingo/Jackpot/Right on the money.

This is EXACTLY IT and ultimately why I don't really care if he goes or not.

Want to foster a cut-throat working environment and discard players like that? Don't be surprised if the same happens to you then.

Hard to argue against this.

BurnleyFC

It wouldn’t be a bad thing for Luton, for example, but after we’ve spunked the best part of £100m away on players nowhere near the required level, yes it is a bad thing.

I suspect Alan Pace is far more worried than he’s going to let on.

BurnleyFC

This season's team wins. For the same reason that, contrary to folk myth, McNeil would have walked into our team last season. Generally the players are better. There are though two huge misses. Firstly Maatsen, and secondly Tella. Both added a physical, athletic edge that we have not replaced at fu...

Muric Roberts THB Beyer Maatsen Cullen Cork Benson Brownhill Zaroury Barnes Trafford Assignon O'Shea Esteve Delcroix Berge Brownhill Ramsey Amdouni Odabert Fofana Which team wins the game? How have we managed to get so much worse?? The first one I think, but we’d still have enough players left over...

BurnleyFC

Rodriguez wasn’t good enough for the Premier League two seasons ago, but is still probably a better option than our Swiss Houdini.

£19m on a kid goalkeeper

£15m deal triggered on (probably) Ali Dia’s cousin

Brutal.

BurnleyFC

A fairly often asked question is “who is the best player you’ve seen against us in the Turf?” and the unanimous decision has mostly been Cesc Fabregas. There’s an opposition player almost every game doing a “Cesc Fabregas” to us this season. Even Matty Cash did a “Cesc Fabregas” to us. It’s just ano...

Brentford/Norwich away ring any bells?

Plenty.

Already covered the Norwich game. It was **** but not as bad as today - we should’ve at least scored for starters - and Brentford away under Dyche wasn’t even as bad as Brentford away under Vinny this season.

BurnleyFC

He’s not the brightest lad and he’s never in a million years captain material.

BurnleyFC

What are you on about? We successfully defended all 6 corners today, probably as many free kicks and didn’t concede a goal from them. We conceded 3 from open play, one from a pen, one from a throw (inexcusable). Our zonal marking at set plays was NOT the issue today. There were other issues but zon...

BurnleyFC

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

BurnleyFC

Considering how many corners we’ve conceded, I think it is. Would love to know the stats on how many corners/FKs we’ve successfully defended vs unsuccessfully defended. Yes, I know we have conceded most set pieces but if you conceded 10 times more than everyone else, it’s inevitable. By the way, I’...

We were relegated weren’t we? Generally considered failure, like this season.

If Dyche’s first season spending peanuts is considered a failure, this season has to be considered a ******* abomination.

Fair’s fair.

BurnleyFC

I still want VK at the helm next season, but he isn’t half making that difficult at the minute. I don’t think his job is as safe as Matt Williams makes out, though. Alan Pace already has a history of having a twitchy trigger finger as shown with Dyche. As for Potter - yes, I think he’s be about as g...

Norwich 2-0 Burnley.

It was that bad.

It wasn’t.

Granted, it was garbage, but we had chances in that game.

BurnleyFC

My new waterproof trousers did the trick today.

BurnleyFC

There's not a chance this side gets relegated twice in 2 seasons - 1000/1 The gulf in class between Arsenal and us is huge - we've beaten the 2 teams that came up with us this season Burnley will destroy 90% of them teams in the championship Which Burnley, though? Half of this lot will be off to Eu...

BurnleyFC

Just watched the highlights for the 1st goal.. It was Brownhill running off from Odergard to join the other 5 in the penalty area leaving him all the time in the world to shoot. I don't understand how a professional player can't see this He’s never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, to be fair.

BurnleyFC

Let's be honest lads...we got promoted with a very very good Championship team with 100+ points. The EPL is so much more demanding...our team now is akin to Ford Escorts and Vauxhall Vivas against Ferrari's and Lamborghini 's. You are just not going to get anything from the top 8. Good performance'...

Quite a few future Turkish league players on that field.

Yep, because a fair few aren’t and won’t ever be Premier League players again.

BurnleyFC

3s and 4s all round. Pick a player and stick one of those two numbers next to them.

At least Vitinho did more in his first couple of minutes on the pitch than the rest did all game.

Shambolic.

He's plain wrong not to play Muric and Benson unless they're guilty of misconduct in which case they shouldn't even be in the squad.

Vinny’s team selections are bordering on misconduct.

He called us terrible. He’s not wrong.

He’s being hugely generous if that’s all he said.

We’re one of the worst top flight teams. Ever.

BurnleyFC

Subs worked absolute wonders today. Actually managed to make us worse and still Benson doesn’t get a sniff.

******* ridiculous.

BurnleyFC

We’ve had far worse players than Brownhill over the years, but I’m struggling to remember a captain as bad as him.

BurnleyFC

Still in for me, and it’d be pointless getting rid at this stage of the season anyway, but in a season absolutely littered with rank bad performances, that was probably the worst of the lot.

BurnleyFC

Standard VK selection.

BurnleyFC

I like him for the good publicity he gives Burnley, and he seems like a genuinely good lad, but I’ve always thought he was a pretty terrible DJ, even going back to his Rock FM days.

BurnleyFC

A good man and a good manager.

All the best and wishing you a speedy recovery, Roy.

Esteve here for next season no matter what.

First time I have heard that and am delighted.

Was mentioned by Vinny when he signed. Assignon is only a permanent if we stay up.
