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”. What he did say was that a truer reflection of the game would have been a 0-1 victory gained by hard work and diligence but that...

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...

The template for Saturday CT.

I’m sure VK is watching and taking notes.

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...

Not many English football managers speak four foreign languages or read John Updike.

Vincent Kompany speaks 5 foreign languages (reportedly) but know nothing about his bedtime reading.

New guy takes over in the morning !!!

Makes a welcome change from “getting sacked in the morning” as far as fan’s chants go.

This group of cowards won’t get us back up but I’m hoping I’m wrong I agree. I just have this nagging feeling that VK may have been a “one season wonder” and what we saw last season will be as good as it is going to get. I cannot see us running away with the league with a team of 18-24 year olds, s...

Breaking News that Roy Hodgson has also decided to step down as Crystal Palace boss with immediate effect. Not entirely unexpected given his age and health scare but I wish him well and a full recovery.

kentonclaret

Well, let me put it this way, Alan Pace and the rest of the Burnley board won’t be organising an Open Top Bus Parade to celebrate it.

It always intrigues me how players become better players when they're not playing.

Muric?

We should get around £60m for this lad he becomes a better keeper every time Trafford plays.

Carlton Morris £1.3m; Ogbene free transfer; Adebayo (I suspect peanuts). Would you not love them in our team

Adebayo £250k signing from Walsall.

I enjoy watching games involving Man Utd in 2024 usually plenty of goals and attacking football. Luton reacting brilliantly making it end to end football.
More goals in 2nd half hopefully.

Yes. They've come to a bit recently and I expect a tough afternoon for Luton.
But they (Luton) seem to have a bit more steel than us, so we shall see.

Yeah, took United 37 Seconds to break them down.

kentonclaret

Despite all of the flak directed at the club and manager Manchester United have had some good results in 2024. A lot of pace in attack and a striker in form.

The main problem (which I highlighted a while ago now) was that the players with PL experience that played in the Championship were coming towards the end of their careers, and had one final season in them as a swan song. Ashley Barnes a case in point. Part of the summer recruitment should have incl...

"they always have been" Bullshit. European finish and 10th place finish under Dyche. On a pittance budget wise. Burnley FC didn't begin when ALK took over the club, no matter how much they like to erase the history and accomplishments of what came before and pretend that their vision of "Europe in ...

You would have thought Luton would have been the stand out side to go down with a very low points total. However their ability to take a risk on a few experienced players, their fight and spirit, and the leadership and motivation of their very talented young manager all exceed the bringing in of so...

At least we can’t blame woeful finishing since we couldn’t muster a single shot on target for the entire 90+ minutes.

Trafford to blame for the defeat for sure.

Got to keep VK He will get it right and learn from this for sure. We messed up big time not getting our warrior THB. We messed up not getting our goal scorer Nathan Tella and messed up not getting Maatsen for sure. We should now build a team around Berge and go again with his knowledge. The Champio...

I don’t understand it. Some people say the players aren’t good enough and want them out. Others say it’s the manager and want him out. From what I’ve seen it’s both to a degree, so where does that leave us? If it’s a full rebuild from the bottom up in the championship next season then it really has...

So all these people wanting VK out. Who would you replace him with right now that would come in and keep us up

Were there calls to replace the captain of The Titanic after it had collided with the iceberg?
Holed below the waterline and now just waiting for the inevitable.

kentonclaret

If we finish this season below Luton and Sheffield United (now looking increasingly likely), VK’s claim that his team and the club are moving in the right direction lies in tatters.

kentonclaret

If we carry on like this no other team are coming in for our players when we go down, plus we have some very good players out on loan. We are going to destroy the championship next season and come up with a team that know each other instead of strangers. Hope this makes you feel better. Chesterfiel...

My take on it... Even Jesus couldn't save us now so there's no point in swapping. VK has shown his inexperience this year, very naive. I think give him next season, see if he can do the same as last year and then he gets 10 games in the prem for me to see if he's learned his lessons from this seaso...

I think we have to accept that there is every likelihood that Burnley will now finish bottom of the PL.
Both Sheffield United and Luton showing far much more fight and hunger to get points on the board.

Arteta just on Sky saying that “Burnley is a difficult place to come”.
Obviously referring to the roadworks.

Vincent Kompany is like the Emperor that has no clothes. Everybody inside Turf Moor can see him completely exposed except those sitting in the directors box.

kentonclaret

Vincent Kompany isn’t the first world class player to find managing at the top level beyond his capabilities at the highest level and I’m sure he won’t be the last.
Unfortunately, Alan Pace bought into all the hype so Burnley are stuck with him for the foreseeable.

Navalny was a nationalist with previous links to the far right. Had to apologise in the past for racist and anti-Semitic comments. He wasn’t what the West thought he was and wanted him to be.

At least Dara O’Shea managed to convert a corner at Anfield last Saturday into a goal. Burnley’s first goal from more than 120 corners taken this PL Season.

I blame James Trafford.

Reading some of the comments on the Trafford thread everything would have turned sour very quickly, so he cannot be responsible for keeping milk fresh.
Probably down to VK, he likes to put out a fresh team every match day.

Well it was nothing like an open goal, so let’s start with that. And then go with the fact Fofana scored twice last week and made his first start today. Trafford had been here all season and cost us on a number of occasions. Maybe that’s why Trafford is getting more heat. Fofana was brought in as a...
