Why do people have egg on their face? Zaroury is still the best left winger at the club, we don't know why the manager isn't picking him or giving him a run but I haven't seen a winger yet perform any better than I'd expect Zaroury too My suggestion that Zaroury should go out on loan, based on his ...

Absolutely fine to give it large when you’ve been proved right when loads of people thought you were mad. I just think you’ve jumped the gun a little bit with this one. If AZ is still not making the bench in four or five games time, feel free to bump this thread again to laugh at my “lunatic” comme...

That should have been a red. At what point do we have to actually consider VAR is cheating us this season

Conroy92

If Corks not injured I can't imagine he's happy at all.

Conroy92

Who says we're selling upon relegation? However a turnover of 3 or 4 players every summer is not a bad thing, especially if those 3 or 4 players go for a NET profit. This is why I don't get the booing of McNeil. Him leaving for the fee he did allowed us, in part, to bring in the players which walke...

The club wanted to go down a model of youth (and quite rightly so IMO) and this is what VK & co have done. It will take time to get the experience in the squad/club but it will come. We couldn't sustainably go down the previous model. It didn't work with our budget. We'd have ended up with mediocre...

Posted on another thread. There was no attempt to balance talent and experience from either the manger or the board. We decided that we could concentrate on making money from developing talent and player sales rather than looking at the bigger picture of bringing a couple of talented prospects throu...

The Championship winning team has been dismantled right in front of our eyes and replaced with what I fear are young potential players who fit our business model rather than our imminent football requirements..

This is the season summed up

Conroy92

I think he has. Too many individuals to keep happy in the same positions. Yet seemingly continuing to pick underperforming players. Over the last few weeks his manor and demeanor on the touchline has changed, he looks beaten. We put making profit ahead of the squad this season. By signing lots of sh...

Penny for Pace’s thoughts

I'd rather have him back in the net

Conroy92

If this, a kompany side, with it's so called attacking prowess, can't muster a shot on target then we really are shite.

Conroy92

I'm sorry but you can't show a green line and then change it

Conroy92

That is blatant cheating

Conroy92

They've just redrawn it to deny us a goal

Conroy92

This is a joke. You can't say he's on and then off

Conroy92

No tactics. Poor team selections. Poor substitutions. Team look like they've given up.
It's time to go.

Conroy92

Kompany out

Conroy92

Serious question, is Gudmundson playing?

Conroy92

This is far worse to watch than any dyche ball ever was

Conroy92

Last week and today have been our two worst performances in this league ever. We're getting absolutely battered by Bournemouth.
I'm not sure this team is playing for the manager or if the manager knows how he wants this team to play.

Conroy92

The big question is how many games will the board give the manager. After watching the documentary I think ALK have put all there eggs into Vinnie's basket and id be surprised if they potted him this season regardless of a relegation.

Conroy92

Started another thread but then spotted this so will add to here:- The tactics have changed this season. Its not all down to personal but some of it is affected by this. The pivot role appears to have gone completely. I'd suggest this is linked to not having a full back in the same vein as Maatsen. ...

The tactics have changed this season. Its not all down to personal but some of it is affected by this. The pivot role appears to have gone completely.

Need some protection for the defence, Brownhill the only ratter we have. If were not playing football like last season Cullen is null and void in this league. Get some experience back in the side with Cork and Redmond. Muric back in for obvious reasons. Ekdal needs to be back.

Vitinho--Ekdal--AAD--Taylor
---------Brownhill--------
-----Cork-----Berge------
Redmond------------Koleosho

Conroy92

We can't just write those games off, though, and concentrate on our 'mini league' if you will - I doubt many were expecting wins, but surely a concern the way we fell apart in those games? If we want to stay up, we have to look to nick points here and there, even against the big hitters. Your right...

If the opening 5 home games had been spread throughout the season and we had the same results, nobody would bat an eyelid.

It’s because they’ve all been together, that everyone is having a meltdown

Another bang on

We were 1-0 up against Chelsea for the majority of the first half and the atmosphere was dreadful, completely silent. That’s the problem with gaining promotion, tourist fans.

Bang on!

Conroy92

In fact, a number of posters are saying OP is being naive etc. This was my point - OP starts a thread and that's taken as the prevailing view. Most are realistic. Amazing on the thread you've posted how many comments from posters about unrealistic expectations. Did you read the full thing or just t...

Conroy92

Honestly- just read what you've written. It is only about points I'm afraid. At the end of the season if you've got 20-30 points, but you've played well you don't survive you know. Lowest points go down. You then state performances against Chelsea, spurs and Villa!! We performed exactly how I though...

Conroy92

Do you believe we've been good at home so far? Do you think we've given much to get the fans going? And where do you mean, everywhere? You're telling me if you did a straw poll of Burnley fans walking on to the Turf at the start of the season, 'pretty much all' would've said top half finish? Come o...

Conroy92

It wasn't a 'common view' at all, that just patently isn't true. Tbh, I was implying yourself in my post, so it's good to see you are indeed the first responder. I get the impression you see what you want to see on social media platforms. Most people have a semblance of nuance when it comes to the ...

Conroy92

Was it? In my experience, other than the usual reactionaries on here who you can reel off in an instant, my experience was that most were pretty realistic about this season and just saw safety as the paramount objective. Just because some on here shout the loudest and most persistently doesn't make...

Conroy92

A few things. The atmosphere is poor when we perform poorly. It always has. Although when against the bigger sides, were all on board and not expecting anything, so the fans are a little more patient and act as the 12th man. This season saw us go into the season with fans talking about mid table, to...

Conroy92

We've possibly made back the majority of our transfer spend on him from loan fees too, so probably not our as bad an investment as originally assessed regarding a "pound for pound" signing, although alot of money for us to spend. I'd say that honour (not including those who have only just signed th...

Zaroury and Benson were being touted as £40m+ players by some on here last season. Now they struggle to get into the match day squad. Either all these new lads are worth 50m each or some people were talking pony. I suggested Zaroury should go on loan during the window and you said 'Maniac comment' ...

Conroy92

Ok. You may have been right, you may have been wrong. Looks like VK disagreed with you anyway, unless there were no options to send him out on loan, which seems unlikely. The point I was making, though, is that AZ’s failure to make the squad tonight is hardly justification for your taking a victory...

Conroy92

FYI - We still think you were stupid. Zaroury not making the squad for one game hardly validates your lunatic opinion. Ok boss. Lunatic opinion, 58 minutes so far. We operate a policy in which we need to develop players to sell for a profit. Would have been the perfect time for a season on loan whi...

Conroy92

Bump- for all you belms that thought I was stupid for thinking Zaroury should go on loan

amazing this forum at times.

Conroy92

Got pelters when I suggested he should go on loan. For exactly this reason. We have lots of wingers in the squad and I'd suggest others maybe more suited. If Redmond's not getting a game it's hardly surprising. Would have helped his development more than sitting on the bench or not being involved.

This grows on me every day

Conroy92

Personally I don't think anyone should be making decision in the VAR room. I would much rather someone tell the ref in his ear piece, you've made a big call there, were not sure if its right or wrong but have another look and if your happy with your decision then stick with it, if not youve a chance...

Conroy92

The fact they have had to look at altering rules to help VAR such as handballs and offsides absolutely stinks. We are changing the game to suit it and in reality VAR needs to change to suit the game.

Conroy92

Very simply put it needs scrapping. There are so many reasons for scrapping it but the only reason I can see to keep it is so that mistakes are "corrected". The problem is it isn't correcting mistakes, and we are getting just as many through the use and interpretation of it. Reason for getting rid o...

Conroy92

Its a red but dont ignore the fact he is being held. Id have taken the red with a penalty to us. That is exactly what was shown. Our player fouled and then lashing out. Amazing how it can "review" the incident and no penalty given when the whole build up shows Foster being held.

Conroy92

Two big bones of contention for me. The goal allowed for them and dissallowed for us for more or less the same thing, the ball grazing the arm. And not the red card, but the fact that Foster was held an infringed in the penalty area prior to lashing out. I really dont understand how you can replay t...

Conroy92

Stinks doesn't it. Bitter taste in my mouth this morning. Something I've not seen mentioned, before Fosters "incident" he was clearly being held in the area. He only lashed out due to it. Along with giving the red card for Fosters reaction, I see no reason VAR should not equally be awarding a penalt...

Personally im not convinced in that line up and a little worried.
