West Ham were ‘below par’ because every Burnley player stood up to the challenge of playing the in form team of the moment and frustrated them.

If you cannot reasonably expect to win, make sure you don’t lose and trust to luck for anything more.

Dyche got his substitutions right for once.
Defence and Cork did well… but if we played for a month we would not have scored.

There was always a parallel with Kevin Reeves in my mind. Both were amazing for the few games they played and there is a terrible feeling of “what if”. Maybe the mind plays tricks and fills in the blanks with more amazing performances which in reality rarely happens.

Thought his kicking was more assured too. Nick has missed a huge tournament in the summer so may have been quite down. Looks to be getting back to his real form.

Ronaldo inching closer to Man City apparently. Be great to have him back in the PL, ideally injured when they play us to keep the score down to 5-0 I’ve never seen him live. I would want him to play just to say I’ve seen him. Not as though it would change the result maybe just the goal difference.

Potentially Mee & Trippier, definitely Kightly & Keane.

The one that bit us was Joseph Mills. Really would have preferred not to buy.

I’ve always said if I had to choose one to play for Burnley it would be Ronaldo… however if i was going to pay to see a player it would be Messi. Ronaldo is huge, powerful, skillfull, driven and simply the complete player. Messi probably the most gifted with the ball at his feet.

I’m lazy. I bought this season’s ticket in Jan or Feb 2020 and I’ve just rolled it over. If I had to buy one right now I don’t think I’d bother.

Also seems to be managing the game time of the squad so well. We have around 18 players who are “warmed up” within this tournament and could do a job. No undropable megastars that everyone has to pamper to. We may not win it but Southgate has given us every chance.

andyh

Not hugely important from an outcome pint of view but I would not like my team selection leaked every match. Someone is being an ass.

andyh

It is also to do with scheduling. The earlier round of 16 matches feed into the earliest quarters and semis. Otherwise we could be playing a team that has had 4 days more rest.

andyh

Funny how this website makes me look things up. I remember Tony Waiters in goal in some of my earliest matches. I didn’t realise that he’d retired and was only playing because we didn’t have a recognised backup keeper. Always seemed more assured than Peter Mellor who scared me to death.

I think SD is handicapped by his playing career. If you’d swapped the careers of Lampard and SD around there is no way Lampard would have had the offers… and everyone would be saying SD deserved a top 10 job… However SD as a player is seen as a blueprint for the teams he manages.

andyh

Surely overplayed his hand now. All the jobs he could reasonably think of as the next step are being filled and he doesn’t appear to be a serious candidate for any of them, I do feel a little like a wife with a husband who is great with the kids but has wandering eyes. Feel he wouldn’t be with us if...

He's being pretty optimistic if he thinks he'll do better than Leicester or West Ham.

I meant that if he is planning to go to Leicester the only way West Ham get him is now.

There’s no way either West Ham or Leicester City are paying £20/£25m for James Tarkowski. Two of the best signing last year were Fofana and Coufal. Why would either club pay that money for a player available for free in 12 months time? It’d make no sense. It does if he is planning to go to a differ...

Left back is possibly our strongest position.

Dwight only plays left wing.

I’m struggling to see where Young fits.

Having said that his personality seems top notch and he was an excellent player.

If he played on the right he would be a great addition. Maybe he could do that Ive just not seen it.
