DA at his best.

Amazes me that people still fall for his act after all this time, the clues in the name

I’m sure it has some bearing but I don’t think it necessarily works like that. How accurate those listed at the link are, I don’t know, it does though show that there are likely huge disparities within squads. Players and their agents will always seek a bit more. Just because a ‘star player’ arrive...

On paper I agree, however, I didnt see him in a position that I thought he played well in, bothe going forward and back, to the point where I couldnt see what his position was actually supposed to be. All about opinions though, so fair enough. Some players "suffer" if they're of the utility type, t...

GodIsADeeJay81

Oh, I forgot to add, paying him £180k a week means other players are going to be seeking higher wages, either current or potential signings.

GodIsADeeJay81

I'm not sure he disciplined enough to play multiple positions positively and move in and around them automatically. Don't get me wrong an absolute machine in scoring Hollywood goals but not sure the awareness and drive is there to fill other slots in VK formation and ethos. LB/LWB LW RW FWD Yeah, I...

GodIsADeeJay81

OOC, knows the PL, has proven he can score etc when his heads on right.

Could be a good signing for Forest if it was to happen.
Would be a huge step down though for the player, especially as West Ham are after him

GodIsADeeJay81

Read the article, it explains it far better than me. But basically nobody sits in a position, as under Dyche. They might appear there on the team sheet, but in order to create space and a pass, everybody rotates in and out of set areas. Cork could end up anywhere from LB to LW to CF. It's Pep Ball,...

Doesn't seem like the actions of a man who is wanting to leave :D https://twitter.com/BurnleyOfficial/status/1549788894002122752 Good to see Westy with a smile on his face Reinforces the point made by someone else the other day, Cornet is diving right into pre-season, hasn't made any untoward noise...

I’d imagine it’s for ‘positional play’ which the likes of Pep use to dominate possession. https://www.coachesvoice.com/cv/positional-play-football-tactics-explained-guardiola-cruyff-manchester-city/#:~:text=Pep%20Guardiola's%20Manchester%20City,create%20a%20triangle%20(above).

Interesting seeing that pitch marked out with different zones/areas.

Also the comment about the touchline and how he's teaching the young lad about keeping a certain space etc.

I'm not sure about that. Pretty sure he went off after he was on the end of strong challenges a couple of times. Good player but I wouldn't want him next to me in the trenches

Does this apply to any other player who went off after being on the end of a strong challenge?

GodIsADeeJay81

A ground becomes a fortress when the fans are fully behind a team and usually when the team are winning and/or playing good football.

Kompany and the team need to hit the ground running quite simply.

GodIsADeeJay81

Lots of people quite rightly praise Kompanys purported data driven approach to football (an approach Dyche had). If you actually look at the data the idea that Ben Mee can't play football well is a total myth. I could post an in-depth analysis but I'll just limit to- going off FBRef data he's ahead...

GodIsADeeJay81

Calling us a tinpot club etc, continuously saying he’s 12m+ or nothing (despite actual journos saying it’s 6-9m), basically denying all the reports from respected journalists that talks are advanced. Though I guess it’s only like our fans saying we should have got 40m for Pope etc. Yeah it's the sa...

Norris is a shocking keeper and hopefully will be nowhere near the starting 11.

As for Coventry fans re. O’Hare, they come across as a really odd bunch.

Odd in what way?
They see him as their most creative and best player, naturally they don't want to lose him

GodIsADeeJay81

If he was as good as people made out then why hasn’t any other clubs been interested in him? Keane, Tarks etc all had their suitors because they are far superior players to Mee unfortunately that’s how it is no matter how much you him. His age is being taken into consideration by everyone else in f...

Nothing like lowering expectations. So basically a mid table finish is ok IF we get some more good players in?

What if we Don't?

Relegation obviously

GodIsADeeJay81

It’s really the “legs” bit I don’t get. It’s a bit random. Wouldn’t “bodies” be more appropriate? Okay the outfield players use their legs to run about, but what about the goalies? They need a different motto: arms hearts minds maybe, or even hands hearts minds. But as suggested above with the new ...

GodIsADeeJay81

We clearly needed a major overhaul this summer. The key is would Dyche be accepting so many changes and bringing in so many youngsters 🤔 I feel energised by it, seeing a new crop of young players coming here, wanting to further their careers and wanting to play for Kompany. I believe having Kompany ...

We are/were an older/aging PL squad. Battle hardened true, but frankly, running out of gas and ideas to keep up the good fight. We got a new/unproven young manager. We've signed an insanely amount of players this transfer window. There is huge uncertainty for all of this, but it was time for someth...

Desire amongst some football fans would be more accurate. Gambling is a legitimate leisure activity. Hopefully there's no fast food, beer, stocks and shares sponsors for starters if we're going for this moral crusade. And a look at the behaviour of participants in the ground and on the pitch to che...

I wonder how moving away from alcohol sponsorship has done for curbing drinking, especially in the youth?

20% and rising of the population don't drink at all, especially among younger people.
Shockingly just 4% of drinkers account for 30% of alcohol consumed.

Any idea of the value of the new sponsor?

Couldn't tell you, but there is a growing desire among football fans to move away from the over reliance on gambling firms for sponsorships.

This is a positive step by the club

GodIsADeeJay81

Good to see they've moved away from a gambling sponsor when they've had the first real chance

GodIsADeeJay81

Still not a fan, but it's good to see that they've moved away from a gambling firm at the first real opportunity

That's why Utd have been very harsh in regards to ensuring ST holders actually attend a minimum amount of games per season, they know they have people waiting who could probably attend more games.

'Only 6 teams have never been relegated from the PL, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea and Spurs' Are they not the very teams who constructed the Prem, in the first place?

Ings and Woods for me, it's not even close.
A pairing of those two in prime form would be some partnership

I got about half way through season one and then left it.

I might try it again after I've caught up with stranger things

Finished season 1, started 2 tonight.
Really getting into this now.

From his past, looks like another who wasted his time at Chelsea, being sent out on loan half a dozen times until he finally gave up and left.

No dig at all, you're more than welcome to support Burnley from 2009, just you seemed to call those 2009 onwards plastics, wondered if you considered yourself a plastic.

But you said you became a Burnley fan in 2009, does that make you a plastic too?

After 13 years, it's going to depend on if you're getting a dig in for the sake of it, like you try to do when I'm wiping the floor with you in discussions on here.

I'm a fan, plastic or otherwise.

Hopefully a bidding war for Cornet with a couple of Prem Clubs..maybe touch £20.m

Won't be a bidding war, due to his release clause.
The only "war" would be over who offers him the best wages etc.

I’ve mentioned it before but some players won’t be hit in their first year, it’s usually the second season to try and make them stay for a year to get back up.

Hopes - VK settles in, the team gels and gets on and we have a cracking season culminating with promotion by hook or by crook. Fears -.

Wasn't it mentioned that if clubs go down the route of not having academies then they can't play in Europe, as it's one of the requirements.

Yes, but aggi also informed us that it's now a PL requirement to have one, hence why Brentford have reopened theirs

Collins was marking Wilson and left him alone in the area, unmarked, directly in front of goal.
The video shows him doing it but apparently it's all Taylor's fault

Normally the right winger like Far too often last season we saw Chaz being left chasing shadows - see Newcastle’s 2nd goal on the final game for a perfect example of this https://youtu.be/FUsWvD4KubE Wilson was initially marked by someone else, Collins I think, who moved towards another Newcastle p...
