Bit harsh considering a lot of that team had to play against a Chelsea side who dominate the ball, with an extra man, for best part of an hour three days ago. Fofana didn’t play on Sat, and he was poor last night, but he did get through a lot of running.

Swizzlestick

It was indeed frustrating. I can only think we didn't believe we'd get much joy from Wolves back line so tried to go deep and capitalise on the knock down, but it made no sense after Cullen's great deliveries at the weekend. As has been the case for a lot of season, it looks like we're over-thinking...

Maguure has got plenty of previous for stuff like this.

I'm still amazed that some folk refuse to see Sander Berge upper arm movement towards the ball on the Forest one. It's subtle but it's there and helps the ball towards his path. It's a soft decision that could go either way without too much complaint from me - the fact that VAR gets involved and it...

Muric 8 - it is taking all my mental strength not to think about where we’d be if he played all season. He’s chaotic, he can be in his own world, but his distribution is utterly sublime and we look a significantly better team when he plays Vitinho 7 - some sloppy play but leaves everything out there...

Swizzlestick

Even from my vantage point on Longside Upper you could see that he just fell over but, as Vinny highlighted the other day, the officiating has just been appalling this season.

Doesn’t include the fees they received for Caicedo or Sanchez according to Sky Sports.

Maybe Cucurella then? Forgot how much Chelsea has thrown at them!

Brighton just announced a British record 123m profit for a football club

Caicedo sale I would imagine? Bought him for relative peanuts too.

Pretty huge error by the auditors last year!

Zaroury now on.

Obviously need to take those salary lists with a massive pinch of salt, but what a gig Andy Lonergan has had for the past four or five years.

He’s ‘sat back down’ because Spotify has ended its exclusivity deal with Rogan

Swizzlestick

The injuries are worrying. I remember reading the Monchengladbach forums before we signed him and the consensus was that he was very talented but very injury prone.

Swizzlestick

It was very much a lifting away day. But it was the non-Kompany signings that saw the day out for us. And also the forced correction of his starting line up to steady us. What was he thinking in dropping Charlie Taylor just to put square peg Zeki Amdouni in a round hole ? Good report as always. Tha...

But only if we stop up. If we go down alongside them their side is simply far too good for the Championship. They will have got relegated purely because of the points deduction and it just means there is only one automatic promotion place available. They are also winless in 12 games, Heard it all b...

Not a surprise to me, Brighton have always done that. It's a club culture thing.

Horrible under Poyet.

IF we go down they’ll be competing with Benson and Zaroury for starts. They have proved themselves in the Championship.

I’m fairly sure Benson and Zaroury will be wanting out next season.

Swizzlestick

You could see in the Spurs cup game the defenders felt more confident with Muric behind them. Even Delcroix looked more assured.

Swizzlestick

It is infuriating thinking about where we could have been if he’d started this season. Hoping he’s fit for Tuesday.

Fantastic Burnley. Showed some proper heart there.

I might be wrong but I swear I saw on social media muric was injured?

It was a doctored image - somebody’s idea of a ‘joke’

Swizzlestick

Whatever your opinion on Trafford/Muric, you surely can’t drop the keeper after that performance last time out

Swizzlestick

Anybody in their right mind would be turning down conscription in those circumstances. Christ knows what this has to do with the topic in hand, but it’s very UTC to come up with wild hypothetical situations.

Just a quick change needed - David Luiz labelled us anti-football not the far superior David Silva.

Swizzlestick

Can they? The yearly income from his sale won't even scratch the surface of their annual losses. Well cash and accounting losses are different things. Also, I think it would be reasonable to ask if an element of a £20m transfer fee for your best player will re be reinvested. Don’t get me wrong, the...

I don't understand how though god knows what's going on behind the scenes, they've nobody on big money surely.

It’s going well

I think they’ve just about done enough unfortunately. Plymouth and Birmingham in free fall

Echo the above - too many dismissive about what we did last season. ‘The league is low quality’ etc etc. A lot of the same people were saying Leicester would walk it while breaking records. Recent results prove that league is an absolute slog.

Interesting comments from SD. Remembering reading about this a few weeks ago and it was brushed off as something and nothing but he’s made it sound like it was a bit more than that. And how is ‘not liking being slapped in public’ “mollycoddled”? I’m sure you wouldn’t like your boss to do that, ‘joki...

If by OP you mean me, you might need to read it again.
I don’t have any passport issues.

Apologies, my mistake, I meant Crosspool who had sort of taken over the course of the thread with his predicament.

Swizzlestick

The one who started this whole thread voted for it

Swizzlestick

Also the OP is blaming the EU for his passport issues, not Brexit.

Swizzlestick

I think if I was putting two grand down on a non refundable holiday payment five days before I was due to leave, I’d be dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s with stuff like passport rules before I did that. But yeah, the EU are the ones to blame, or something.

Who was the last Burnley player to be selected to play for England ?

Pope I would imagine.

Well done, Traff, big moment for him and only helps us really.

And re other choices, who actually is there? Steele? What's the point? Makes sense if a position becomes available to give the U21 first choice experience with the senior squad.

Swizzlestick

True about Stoke but they have the pretty much dream scenario of being owned by a billionaire fan. Could still be playing League One football next season, mind…

He was subbed on 82 mins and was booked while off the pitch. It was only a friendly, probably giving reserve keeper some minutes

They changed the rules re touch line bans before this season - banned after three yellow cards, reduced from four. Dyche had one at Everton a week or two before Kompany’s.

I remember when we beat them 2-0 and a kid did the "John terry handshake" trick to him whilst Liv were getting on their team coach. His reaction to that cemented him as the end of a bell for me... Shouting in a 8/9 year old kids face about how he should respect him and he won't ever amount to anyth...

Swizzlestick

On the other hand, Fofana missed an open goal, then slipped while rounding the keeper after nicking the ball off him, an xG of nearly 3 and 17 shots on goal. Agreed we had some messy moments and we were nervy at the end (perhaps understandable) but we really should have wrapped the game up sooner.

I remember Ben Mee being on a video when he was signed by them and the one thing he said is that he liked about his move and was a deciding factror was the fact that they had a similar rule to Burnley in that they didn't want players who were D*** Heads.

Maupay??

Muric 8* - genuinely infuriating this was his first PL start. The distribution is light years ahead and he made some solid saves Assignon 7 - worked well with Vitinho O'Shea 7 - handled Toney well but really needs to cut out the mistakes Esteve 7 - did ok Taylor 7 - steady, decent outlet but should ...

Best performance in a Burnley shirt. I didnt think he looked fully committed to us last season. But today that was a man putting his body on the line for the shirt.

Which games did he not look fully committed?
