Different level,
playing against teams who spend more on one player than we do as a team, is it really that difficult to work out?
This was a fair argument to use in the Dyche days.
Not anymore. How many teams spend in excess of £100m on one player?

Sorry was it only make it hell if we played Sheff Utd or Luton in the first two games? We’ve beat plenty of ‘big’ teams under Coyle and Dyche early on. We didn't even need to beat them to give the fans something to get behind. Not letting Villa, Spurs, and Chelsea walk through us to score might hav...

Those goals again on MOTD. Just wow.
Their fifth. I hope nobody was injured by O'Shea's and Delcroix's tools as they chucked them away.
And to think some people think the effort is there.

Kompany - needs to reflect on how it was he picked a team with both Amdouni and Odobert in it against Arsenal. I think everyone needs to reflect and use this as a watershed. Certainly VK who must know he’s got the balance of the team badly wrong this season but needs to pick a team which acknowledg...

Why do people assume that running the ball out, and losing possession, is all on the players head. We've made this same mistake, so often, that it should be obvious that players are instructed to play this way by VK.

Beyer ought to return with a stint on the bench. He's struggled with the physicality of the Premier League massively, and he's lost the ball numerous times in dangerous positions trying to run out with it and getting caught. Before we signed Assignon, there was a strong case of moving him to right b...

Still Amdouni’s fault. He could’ve controlled it normally but tried to flick it around Porro instead whilst on the run. He’s done this lots of times this season.

Sorry.
Threw it toward Amdouni (marked by Porro) who was was unable to touch it round his man, who went on to fire it into our net.
Yes, that sounds much more like what actually happened.
Just shows how easy it is to exaggerate a mistake from somebody when you're looking for it.

Given it was a 50/50 at best, are you suggesting Muric is absolved of blame? In fairness that game Muric did throw one directly to a Spurs player and passsed one straight to Kulusevski on the edge of the box.

Amdouni, who already has 4 league goals for is, doesn’t deserve “supporters” with an agenda slating him on a thread unrelated to Burnley.
