Re: Trafford individual errors/points lost

I am a big Muric fan and I was from the very first game. The majority of people don't seem to realise how difficult it is to be a goalkeeper. Every position has its difficulties but a goalkeeping error often leads to losing a goal. Goalkeeper errors are a regular occurance. I have seen umpteen goalk...

Re: Fed up

If we are talking about the goals we conceded, the second was poor. Ekdal struggled for the whole of the first half and we may not see him again in a Burnley shirt unless he was carrying an injury. The first goal was a deflection leaving Trafford clutching at thin air. It happens. The rest of the ha...

They are becoming so commonplace that the mods who have a difficult enough job on here are letting things go that have previously not been allowed. There seems to be no player exempt from abusive criticism. I'm just glad the three ne...
