I think our fans were better today for whatever reason. Probably scoring so quickly and the opposition fans being quiet I truly believe that if we can get the ground going we will survive. What's going on with the flags in the ground idea? Has it gone because of the obvious profiteering stance? Bet...

21,488 fans turned out. Maybe keep your negativity to yourself in future. You are undermining the players and club!

And the (real) fans.

He and Brun Larsen played some lovely stuff together in the first half.

That being the case how did t'Rovers manage to do the same thing with their cameras? And their old stand has more stanchions than the BL.

They used an old Indian rope trick. An expandable bendable lens.

Stayingup

I’d much prefer the TV cameras to be on the Bob Lord side so it shows the James Hargreaves’s on the TV. Would make the ground look a lot better and modern. Unsure if the Bob Lord is too small for this to get a good angle ? The roof on the BL is low and there are the stanchions. The cameras, if situ...

I wouldn’t sacrifice the VK playing style as yet. We’ve built our team to fit his principles just like we did last season. We could however do with a little ‘Dychism’ to close down games and shut up shop (f.eg. bringing on Eckdal). I use the word Dychism in the sense of prioritising results over st...

I'd hardly say that's dominant more even.

I'd like to see the stats for the first half. A half in which we were the better team and really should have scored a couple.

Stayingup

5 minutes to go and your winning, what could be your first points at home. You do all you can to protect your lead. Ekdal shoukd have come on.

Stayingup

Fact is yesterday we created more chances than they did. We were better for much of the game. Fact is we can't defend. Fact is we aren't scoring from open play. We could/ should have been two goals to the good at half time. It's bordering on criminal that we haven't got a goal scorer.

That's young teams for you. We're w@nk, but in a weird way I'm kind of pleased we've 100% committed to something and that we're taking the rough with the smooth. Frustrating and interesting/curious all at once.

The smooth? I'm wondering what that might be.

Stayingup

We have better players now than we smashed it last time. We are down, just use it as a learning experience from now and learn how to do it better next time. I dont agree with the Kompany shoukd go line but I think your comment that we have better players now is baffling. Four played today who could...

Stayingup

Positives. Berge.

Negative(s)? Absolute disaster losing that game. The team and the management must feel as devastated as I do.

Seems a daft question now.

We got relegated under the previous manager in his first PL season too. And his last btw.

We did but he didn't spend 100 million and was very unlucky on tge seco d relegation. By the way he got us into Europe.

Stayingup

Not our business but I have read that Chelsea want to sign Ivan Toney. I still feel we missed out not getting him from Peterborough at the time. Chairman at the time had his pockets stitched up even then.

Everton’s upcoming games are (in no order) United, City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Spurs, Forest……and……us at the Turf under the lights. In that time we have West Ham, Sheffield, Wolves, Brighton, Fulham, Liverpool and of course Everton. After those games we could be 10 points behind again, but we could a...

Stayingup

Simply put Everton have been deducted ten points for breaking FFP rules for the period ending 21/22. If that penalty had been applied at the end of 21/22 we wouldn’t have been relegated no matter how rubbish we were. True what you mention there but these investigations take time Everton though had ...

Stayingup

There’s obviously more to it behind the scenes but I cannot fathom why Weghorst was sent on loan leaving us with just 2 strikers. Either its fear of us booing him, squad unpleasure with his return, or a falling out with Vinny. With hindsight (glorious thing) its another barmy decision in the summer...

Stayingup

We have. But he's ill.

Stayingup

Agree, I’m well over that relegation too and I don’t think we were relegated for anything other than being rubbish. We won 1 game under Dyche from the start of the season until February. But it’s Everton’s fault? I hate this sort of thing because ultimately it’s the fans that suffer due to ownershi...

Now the Premier league has bared its teeth- as I have read today - what could happen to Manchester City who have 115 charges made against them compared to Evertons one. I suppose it depends on the seriousness of some or all of those charges. Its watch this space....

Incidentally it's not just Leicester, Leeds and us who could try to sue Everton. There is also Notts Forsst and Southampton who have thrown their hats into the ring.

this will get reduced on appeal

And that would render the Premier League weak and spineless. Send out a green light to other clubs who flout the rules that they can do so with impunity. No it will stand will this.

Stayingup

No. Its just that the gap between Premier League and Championship is vast. One other thing is, we are not physically strong enough for the league we are in now.

Stayingup

Berge and Brownhill played well against Palace. A game in which I thought we were the better team except for conceding goals and not scoring them!!! Cullen will adapt to this league. He is a good player.

No Maxwell. Not even on the bench. What's happened with him?

I don't remember Arsenal demanding urgent action on refereeing standards a few years when when they scored the winning goal at Turf Moor when: 1. The corner which led to the goal was not a corner. 2. The corner was taken after the period of added time. 3. The corner taken was a short corner (giving...

Did he ? I can think of just the once….but I could wrong about that. Just do not think he played that well and was mostly on the periphery of the game which was disappointing as we had a lot more possession than usual in the opponents half yesterday. Do think there’s a good player in there though w...

Koleosho and Berge both had good games. Amdouni aside from one nice turn was pretty awful. The sitter of a header he missed was like a school boy closing his eyes as he practiced heading for the first time ! Koleosho always gets hooked - understandably as he has played little first team football in...

Stayingup

Yes, I agree with that point. It’s looking a bit hard to fathom now, I agree, but that does not make the signings we did make a ‘complete disaster’. We’ve signed some fantastic players and only somebody with an agenda wouldn’t recognise that. Well. Yesterday VK substituted, for me the two players m...

Stayingup

Disagree entirely about it being a “total disaster” Our best players yesterday were Koleosho, Amdouni and Berge. All bought in the summer. It was unbalanced, but I don’t think there’s any doubting the quality of the players we bought in. As of now the problems are the players we didn't bring in ( i...

Anyway what about the decline of Norwich (minus AB) or the resurgence of .... oh bugger!!!

Stayingup

Last season we had four strikers. Now, after an active transfer window, we have one available and he is past it at this level.

Stayingup

It's like an academy team playing in the Premier League. Yesterday our most effective - or most likely - two forward players were substituted and the players replacing them offered nothing.

Stayingup

Much better today, though that’s also illustrative of how bad we’ve been. Confidence looks rock bottom but they stuck at it. Deficiencies in the squad have been done to death but there was much more urgency than before. Still miles to go before we’re good enough, but compare that to some of the per...

Nottingham Forest could drop too.

A win next week is possible and that would lift the gloom, lift the fans and lift the team. We have good injured players on the way back to fitness and we have home games still to come that can be very winnable. Hoping!!!

Just watching the rugby. TMO has denied the All Black's a brilliant try for a knock on the referee missed. A rugby equivalent VAR moment.

Stayingup

Happy for VK to continue, he's intelligent but he has to look at the modern history of Burnley in the top league. Only one manager has enjoyed a level of consistency in the top league since the mid 70's. Potts and Adamson struggled. Coyle was a flash in the pan, Dycheball recognised comparatively l...

I’m starting to think the Premier League is a really tough league and maybe a previous manager who battled to keep us there for so long perhaps deserves more credit from some.

You mean like the village idiot that posts from time to time. Strangely absent tonight.

Kompany helped us last season and NOW it’s our turn - the “fans” to help him - he asked us to make the Turf Hell ! It’s more like a kids crèche. Let the bed wetters go and wet the bed and the true fans shout our team to safety. The gaffer will turn this around for sure. We should not even question ...

I would think that any team playing against us must be licking their lips. We are hopeless as it is.

The gosl had already been disallowed though.

Indeed but it's a grouse about VAR generally and in fact the goal I aim this at is the one disallowed at Nottingham.

Well Derbys record is looking shaky. VK will be given more time.
