I think this is about the most sensible and reasonable post on this thread. I can’t remember any other mistakes like yesterday. The only passing it out error that immediately springs to mind is the Trafford one to Brownhill, but I’m sure there’s others my coping mechanisms have put in to the deepes...

Interesting debate about Kompany and Dyche above, but it is harsh to call Everton a terrible team. They are TOP on expected goals scored from set pieces, near bottom on expected goals conceded. These stats show they do what is needed. Ugly but effective, as ever from Dyche. They would never go down...

It's never a red card that, doesn't deny a goalscoring opportunity, it's just a mistimed tackle, a yellow at worst. It's Oliver though, who consistently makes wrong big decisions because he doesn't give himself time to think about the situation. Proper toaster pocket ref. Certainly not denying a go...

Any club wanting to sign Berg will be a great bet for relegation.

Our best player this season as acknowledged by many supporters, although they can spell his name correctly.

We were the better side in first half. Muric's huge error obviously changed the game, not helped by O'Shea that followed.

Where has all this been written?

Top class striker and walks into the England side.

They have to or we are royally screwed. I'm caught between being completely baffled how much of a pigs ear they made of it in the summer and having faith in them to bounce back next season. Logic says we should but last summer does make me concerned - I just can't figure out how 'smart' people in K...

taio

We don't have the technical ability to play out of the back as much as we do. It's led to far too many mistakes. Yesterday’s being the worst of the lot.

You would have to be pretty naive not to correlate the fact that previous owners didn't spend anything for a couple of seasons just prior to a leveraged buyout. Or the fact that new owners who could only afford to buy the club on a leveraged buyout didn't have the initial funds to seriously invest ...

I reckon if that action had taken place on the halfway line there's every chance a free-kick would have been awarded. The point is though that a penalty was awarded, players cannot rely on refs or VAR backing their decisions in the penalty area. How many soft looking penalties have been awarded thi...

If you don't want to give away a penalty don't raise your arm. Soft pen, but no surprise in today's football. If you don't want to give away a penalty don't rely on the referee and VAR official to get the most basic of decisions correct. It wasn't a soft penalty - it just shouldn't have been a pena...

I was suggesting we wouldn't play Aberdeen because Warnocks spell had already relegated Aberdeen,don't twist things to suit your pursuit of defending the old bellend he was sacked because he was useless and that's some feat in that league Not defending him.

Did you also hear the regional news in Scotland? Warnock was sacked. Not sacked from what I heard and read. But, no, I didn't listen to the regional news in Scotland. However, Aberdeen FC's own website says this: "Interim manager Neil Warnock has stepped aside following today’s Scottish Cup Quarter...

Difference is Leicester went down because they weren't good enough to stop up as they didn't get enough points. On the other hand it is pretty much impossible for ourselves, Luton or Sheffield United to catch Everton were it not for the points deduction. Hence why they'd be in a bit of a false posi...

You could have named any footballers in the world, could have named several well known footballers but you chose four of the best in football history

Well done for completely missing his obvious point

taio

But only if we stop up. If we go down alongside them their side is simply far too good for the Championship. They will have got relegated purely because of the points deduction and it just means there is only one automatic promotion place available. I don't care. I want them to go down. They would ...

Fingers crossed they get another points deduction and they end up being relegated

I didn’t realise you had access to “ 90% of Chelsea fans “ ? Though I stand corrected. It was a fairly soft pen and the red very harsh indeed , however to make out that Assignon was totally innocent in the incident is bizarre. You cut across a player at speed in the box ,raise an arm across his bod...

Where were you yesterday?????

More like, where's he been for the last 32 years

taio

Every neutral supporter and former professional footballer I've seen commenting has said the set of decisions was wrong. Really poor officiating.

taio

hence the sum of parts comment - the pace at which Muric gives him the ball gives him more time on the ball to do things correctly, pretty sure everyone has acknowledged that Traffords distribution was too slow and was a massive influencing factor on why we have struggled. I don't disagree with any...

taio

not really, imho he's got an awful lot more right than he's got wrong. I just never thought Muric deserved to dropped after last season and as Cullen was his captain at Anderlecht and was our player of the season last year it also made no sense whatsoever (although we know Cullen was injured). The ...

in my 40 odd years of watching football and particularly the Clarets I struggle to think of and more baffling set of decisions by any manager

A damning reflection on our manager.

Cullen understandably had challenges adapting to the PL earlier in the season.

I'm sure you said as much.

taio

We won't have a £100m player.

But the two you refer to - Odebert and Koleosho - are extremely promising.

If we go down they will tear Championship teams apart.

It wasn’t a pen, but there was more contact than in the one we conceded yesterday.

It was still a dive. I would agree that the incompetent England would have given it.

Blatant dive. Book him.

Why would bookies want the most likely (and therefore most backed) outcome?

You won't get a credible answer or an answer at all. Crazy insinuation that won't be explained or backed up.

Don’t forget how much betting takes place world wide on PL games One decision can win or lose millions and the big bookies ( Vegas ) will want to influence any result they can.

How do you feel bookies may be influencing onfield decisions?

He was great, but Charlie, like the rest of the team, is hero one week, villain the next. Picking teams with hindsight would be brilliant. He could start against Wolves and be rubbish, then this thread would be wasted. Consistency is what we need from all of our players, including Charlie. That sai...

He's just 23, doesn't have that many first team appearances, has only played a small handful of games in this country and should never have been sent off yesterday.

so you agree it was wrong to drop him..

Yes, and if it was purely tactical, I said as much before the kick-off. But that wasn't a worse decision than the referee's decision for the penalty and second yellow - it was daft to say it was given how bad the referee was and how well we performed.

taio

An absolutely diabolical performance

Top notch performance. Has to stay in the side.

Excellent performance; excellent servant. Far from tripe.

To be absolutely fair, had it not been for var (which I'm against btw), we would have been 1-0 down much earlier.

That doesn't make things any better whatsoever

Neither of Assignon's were bookings. The second one is outrageous and beyond belief.
