Again Trafford is the central theme in this thread when it shouldn’t be the case. It should be the inept Manager who keeps putting him in the firing line.

Or, the inept attackers with the team scoring less than a goal a game. Concede one goal and the likelihood is we ain’t going to win the game.

Ellis Simms scored 7 goals with 2 assists from just 17 matches at Sunderland in season 2022/23 before being recalled by parent club Everton.

kentonclaret

Nobody more surprised than me to see Trafford start the season for us, especially v Man City. Maybe i shouldn’t have been considering how much we paid for Trafford…. Not sure anyone in the bottom half of the PL could afford that money for a second choice keeper… he’s made mistakes for sure, what I’...

We are definitely down now.

Burnley were priced at 1/10 to be relegated before the news broke of a more lenient punishment for Everton.

Now 1/12 so our fate is sealed.

My biggest fear is that Vincent Kompany and the owners view winning the Championship next season as a foregone conclusion given the previous title winning season with a haul of 101 points. That would be a huge mistake and enough have been made already. The Season 2022/23 was the weakest Championship...

kentonclaret

Just to add, for all of the seasons that Vincent Kompany spent at Manchester City he clearly didn’t learn much from Pep Guardiola if he underestimated the need for a commanding figure on the pitch to lead the team and having a strong defensive midfielder. During the many seasons he spent at City Kom...

In his post match press conference Jurgen Klopp’s opening remark was “somebody reminded me there is an old English saying “you can’t win anything with kids” and laughs. I wonder if he was told that it was Liverpool legend Alan Hansen who made the remark whilst appearing on MOTD.

Boro and Watford fans may have a different answer if you ask them about Wilder’s ability to get out of the Championship

Watford are the last club to ask on the ability of a manager.

They potted Rob Edwards believing he wouldn’t be able to get them out of the Championship.

Any idea what type of hernia it was and which surgeon will be performing the operation? I like Matt Williams but it sounds like he’s being a bit vague with the details.

I understand it was a linguine hernia and he was operated on by Gino D’acampo

Don’t you just love it

kentonclaret

Very often the type of problem (hernia) that Foster has required surgery to correct is listed as a groin injury or simply groin.
Looking at yesterday’s paper almost every club had players unavailable with problems listed in almost every case be it ankle, knee, back, groin, hamstring or shoulder etc.

kentonclaret

On MOTD there was hardly any discussion on Burnley’s performance. At one point Micah Richards says “I’ve watched Burnley several times this season and since coming up they’ve simply failed to adapt.” Lineker interjects and says “that’s true” and continues to talk about Glasner and Crystal Palace.

If the COO has indeed said that VK has the safest job in the 92, he's probably given more away about our financial situation than anything else.

I have now bumped the thread containing the BBC interview where the assurance on VK’s position as manager was made.

kentonclaret

Great interview. Snippet of it here too: https://x.com/bbclancssport/status/1757863979639070775?s=46 Kompany having the ‘safest job in the 92’ is interesting. According to Matt Williams Kompany has the safest job of all 92 managers. Many posters now calling for VK to go so how precarious is his pos...

Did it come from Alan Pace?

Came from a Matt Williams - thread contains positive comments from posters “excellent interview” and “good to hear there’s no sign of panic from the club”.

kentonclaret

Wasn’t there a quote posted on here recently that the position of Kompany was the safest of all 92 managers?

kentonclaret

Before kick off today Burnley were priced up at 1/6 to be relegated but following another defeat are now 1/9.

Can Pace afford to sack Kompany given the parlous state of the club’s financial position?

Injuries, illnesses and VAR disputes have kicked in at critical times. Some long-term injuries to players now out for the season. We are facing a Crystal Palace team this afternoon without arguably their best 3 young players unavailable due to injury Guehi, Eze and Olise. Other senior first team pl...

kentonclaret

Although maybe more extreme than perhaps I'd put it, I see krbfcs point. I wish some of our supporters would reserve a bit of support and respect for Kompany given what he did last year. And for what it's worth I still think we finish above Luton. A reality check. Prices quoted currently on Burnley...

I'd take anyone scoring against Palace, please. Trouble is, it's how many we might concede at the other end that worries me more.

Vincent Kompany had a long and distinguished career at both club and international level winning numerous trophies along the way. But, the same could be said of Frank Lampard who struggled to have any real success at managing in the PL thus far anyway. Kompany played the majority of his career at th...

That we deserved to win of course, as Roy said at the time. Oh dear, rewriting history again. Roy never stated in his post match interview that “Burnley deserved to win”.

This game is the reason I have long said there is little difference between us and these teams. Add the VAR / ref robberies and our points are similar to Forest and Palace (Dyche of course would have Everton a bit higher but for the points deduction, because of a rock solid defence, but the rest of...

Think that is a perfect description to be honest.

A great leader, calm head, gets a shift out of his team which most fans will take when things elsewhere are struggling.

Still can’t get his team to win after falling behind though.

Vk had amassed over 100 appearances for anderlecht and Hamburg by time he was 21 and made his debut for Belgium 1st team at 18. Burnley have thus far conceded 55 goals, the worst defensive record apart from bottom club Sheffield United. VK may well have an impressive record as a player but the stat...
