The negativity on here is unbearable, been really competitive at Anfield and missed some big chances. Fans sat waiting to jump all over VK and certain players in the team. Their 2nd goal is a clear foul yet a ricochet around the edge of our box is blamed on Amdouni. https://www.merriam-webster.com/...

It’s always been the same on these match threads to be fair. Very rare I look at them. Attracts the very worst the message board has to offer. There's absolutely nothing toxic about being annoyed with the same routine mistakes week in week out. It's professional football - this thread is far from t...

Set up Fofana for his 2nd 1 on 1?

Anything else of note?

CoolClaret

Has Amdouni touched the ball since the opening 12-15 minutes or so?

Proper baffling player. The 15 minute man

Get Manuel on.

Fantastic keeper who will go to the very top of the game,unlike his detractors on here who will be getting up at 7 am on a Monday to go to their mundane minimum wage jobs.

Did the exact same **** the first preseason game at Genk.

It's easily the strangest managerial decision that I've ever witnessed.

CoolClaret

Get him out of the ******* lineup. It's beyond a joke now.

CoolClaret

Good start - noticed that we've been going to go into a 4-3-3 with the ball and look more fluid as a result.

Bit naive from Dara there - just put the ball into the stand.

Assignon, Fofana impressing and Amdouni playing well.

Amdouni is absolutely quality, no idea what some of you see. Burnley fans always love a runner though.

10 minute performances here and there aren't enough. He has talent ofc but goes missing.

If he keeps that up for 90 minutes then great - because he hasn't done once all season.

CoolClaret

I'd suggest that we are not quite good enough at present, but I don't see the point of the constant slagging off (some might call it questioning, but it's more than that) of just about everything the club tries to do. Team selection, and individuals picked, is just one of the sticks getting used to...

Of course there is, but Muric isn't the answer.

Neither is picking a keeper that can't play the supposed passing system that the manager wants to supposedly play every week.

With 13 points after 23 games then you think he'd try something else.

CoolClaret

I can’t be bothered to search, but I bet you’ve repeated your thoughts on Trafford well over 100 times on here. As you have in defence of him. As many posters have on various topics both for and against players. The manager keeps selecting him and so it's still a point of contention. More fans/post...

Okay then.

I think we'd at least get on the front foot from the back and play through the lines more effectively yes.

CoolClaret

Yes it is. The only Burnley player I can recall getting as much abuse in recent times is Weghorst. This is no way to support a young lad playing in goal for the club they supposedly support. It’s really poor and it’s actually hard to ignore on this forum because it creeps onto every thread, and you...

Probably. There will of course be countless examples of goalkeepers who are relegated having played every game. But the Trafford hating is real, and quite sad to see on a number of levels. It's not that deep. Traff's distribution is ponderous, inaccurate and we're a very poor watch now. Lets at lea...

England had the personnel to absolutely crush a 4-4-2 diamond, or a wing back system - criminal that we shoe horned someone into left midfield instead.

Neville-Rio-Terry-Cole

Kinda past the point of caring right now

Muric
Assignon
Esteve

Fofana

+ 5 others

Feels like being back on dial-up in the late 90s!

I don't think it's anything quite like the players weren't good enough, no one that isn't deluded knew how tough it'd be - more that riding that wave of promotion with the team we could have taken a few more points in the opening third of the season. We all knew it took a good 10 games to even begin...

I'd like to see an run of games with them yes.

There’s an element of repetitive misery about this season, that goes beyond what’s happening on the pitch. I’m not sure I can inflict the podcast on myself again this week. We’re not very good. Not much changes on the pitch week after week. Same discussions on here and on other forms of media week ...

CoolClaret

We literally lost due to a hospital ball by Muric. People should at least be consistent when criticising. See, Not only is that a point of contention on who's 'mistake' it was but it's also not the point. It's about the rest of the game - how players relate to each other and how they pull together ...

Perhaps keeping us in games is a bit too far - as we’re seldom in games.

CoolClaret

Remember - acceleration & top speed are two different factors.

Rarely will you have players hitting top speed unless they're running to goal with a lot of space in front of them.

It's the acceleration and speed over 2-5m that is where the real noticeable difference shines.

The point was the stick he would have got from the likes of you, had he conceded any of the 3 goals mentioned.

Allison had one sub par game by his standards.

He's had 6 years of exemplary performances for Liverpool - it's not remotely the same.

CoolClaret

I agree - but Trafford is the one who has kept us in games - pretty much every week. He has an ever-changing and poorer defence in front of him, yet he receives all the abuse on this board (but not from the wider audience). You can choose most of our players in the side to have a go at, singling ou...
