Go on, say it, you WANT the problem to be Joe Hart. You don’t want the problem to be Mee, Cork or any of our underperforming players. You don’t want it to be Dyche or the disaster transfer window either. There’s one candidate for Player of the Season so far. Two if you really push it, I bet you you ...

Reckon it’ll be the latter. Too much quality and technical ability anyhow.

24 pages dedicated to a complete conman. Twenty four. On uptheclarets.com, the Burnley FC forum.

Jesus.

At the moment I can see Loss Loss Win Loss. Maybe a result at West Ham because they are prone to underperforming. Leicester I can see being the usual story of a club just a few steps ahead of us in all aspects - I’m betting the inconsistent Gray will put in a masterclass against us, not looking forw...

He could be Lionel Messi for what it’s worth but if he can’t hold up loads of long balls with his back to goal, he’s never getting in ahead of Vokes. Like them other good strikers that sit on our bench.

They can’t finish very well, but they can create chances and they can defend. They’ll be fine.

SGr

Don’t have the players for it simple as. Wing backs need to be incredibly physical (and that includes pace, something we still don’t have much of), and it would basically waste our only creative players.

4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 would make the best use of the players we have. No need to over-complicate.

SGr

In a team with JBG and Brady as wingers, if Boyd and Arfield are the answer, then it’s a stupid question.

SGr

Cork has dodged criticism on here despite being pretty awful all season, whilst Hart, the obviously POTY, is receiving calls to be dropped. Mental. EDIT: I also honestly get the impression some are almost asking for some of our losses to be down to Hart f*ck ups, and are disappointed that they aren’...

4-2-3-1

———Cork — Defour ———

JBG ———Vydra———Brady

——————Wood———————

The system that both Wood and Vydra achieved championship top scorer in, and that Brady and Cork both played in at Norwich and Swansea respectively, which lead to us signing them.

SGr

There will have certainly been offers for us, they confirmed as much. But I’m grateful that they weren’t accepted at the moment because they were probably the types looking just to take over a profitable business, not a football club looking to do well. The time will come when we need to be sold tho...

SGr

Not quite sure this beats the “we shouldn’t sign Foden on loan because of that birthday cake someone bought for him”, but it’s not far off

SGr

Cork has been very poor this year and that is an enormous factor, coupled with the increased amount of errors from the defenders individually.

I’m starting to think defensive mid should be first priority in January. Cork isn’t playing well, and he’s not under much pressure either.

SGr

I’m still trying to figure out why, after beating Cardiff, Dyche thought benching him would be the solution to a) maintaining our winning run, and b) putting in a better performance. And now a few games down the line after that mess that was Huddersfield we’re stuck in a time loop with Jeff Hendrick...

SGr

Wood not Premier League quality?

Just because he doesn’t score many with his back to goal with the ball being launched aimlessly at him...

South West Claret. wrote:BBC saying Burnley backing off for both the last two goals, a pattern that must be addressed.

We’ve been doing that for years, we don’t address issues unless there’s a literal fan revolt about them.

SGr

The year is 3042, a cryogenically frozen Jeff Hendrick, who has amassed 23 goals altogether in his 1026 year Burnley career is starting at number 10.

F*ck all. Which is less than I expected last season.

I was confident about our goal difference, but now we’ve played two good teams and conceded 8*

*so far.

SGr

Still no Vydra then? Dropped for zero reason after Cardiff and in his place we have a man who never has and never will have the attributes for that position.

Give it a rest Dyche.

SGr

Game over, poor defending as is becoming the norm this season.

Hendrick at 10 surprisingly hasn’t worked, in spite of what is now literally years of exactly the same thing.

If only we’d spent something like 11 million on a real number 10 eh

Sadly predictable, have a “good” start, don’t score, then concede a poor goal and forget how to play football.

FactualFrank wrote:Are we creating chances?

What’s a “chance”

SGr

Lloris f*cks up in the Champions League and a day later there’s an article about Pope interest. Makes sense.

They should be interested, but that article is almost certainly pure assumption.

SGr

Jutkiewicz and Wells scoring. Good night for the 0 goals boys.

Not Jay Rodriguez. Or Sam Clucas. Or Craig Dawson. Or virtually any of the players we pursued in summer.

In 2018 if pace doesn’t fit the system then it’s the system that’s at fault.

Arsenal have had a very good start but have also had probably the easiest of the top 5. I expect City to win again, with Liverpool being the strongest challengers. I’m tempted to back Liverpool to win the whole thing but that front 3 is misfiring. Don’t think Chelsea are ready yet this season, but t...

Maddison, unsurprisingly playing brilliantly.

Going to make me sick when they sell him for more than £50m in a year or two.

SGr

Would’ve worked too had the ref used his brain. Result was more than fair, City should have been down to 9 ultimately. Margins.

There are some odd people on here but to be honest you’re an absolute category of your own

SGr

upthebrexit.com strikes again ffs here we go

SGr

David Jones: 8
Taylor and Wood: -2705 because they used to play for Leeds

Get Heaton in the team as well because Joe Hart didn’t defy the laws of physics and save all of those goals.

*just reposting this since it was obviously too offensive to our totally competent moderators the first time

SGr

Hart obviously. Our best player this season, even eclipsing Gudmundsson.

SGr

Pep wouldn’t allow Foden to play our football in our system.

Simple as, sadly.

SGr

Nobody to blame but ourselves. Should be well aware you can’t rely on officials without VAR, dreadful defending

SGr

About as predictable as it gets. Appalling on the ball, not much better off it.

Sure a few on here will find a way to blame Taylor and Chris Wood for the whole thing mind.

SGr

No doubt our fans will blame the ref for not sending off Kompany, who is comfortably they’re worst player, who we’ve barely troubled at all.

SGr

Genuinely played some alright football then. Lasted 10 seconds like, but it’s the best I’ve seen in about 8 months

SGr

Flashback to last year except we look like we could easily concede twice as many more.

SGr

Smart team vs stupid team I’m seeing here. City are incredibly good on the ball, but at the same time, we are incredibly bad

Have to laugh at anyone who thinks Vokes is a better footballer than Chris Wood.

Weird stuff I’m seeing here. Playing for the flick on, but our players act shocked when they actually get it, so much miscontrol

SGr

Imagine if we had a proper 1v1 player. Just imagine it for a second. Maybe Dyche will appreciate the value of such a player one day

Need some speakers. Obviously all topics will be Brexit-related, Burnley Football Club is a side issue.

go support Wolves! Hope you enjoy their short term success. So often, these foreign investments turn sour. Annnnnnnnnnnd there it is.

Palace are probably his best shot at number 1 spot in the Prem. No joke Spurs would probably rather keep Vorm than pay us money to sign him in January
