Re: Why the panic?

Absolutely. There is also weird results early season where teams find form and integrate new players. Newcastle were top 4 last season and if we win at Forest we join them on 3 points from 4 games. I think we will all need to accept that under this manager some of our tried and trusted experienced p...

Re: Burnley v Tottenham - Player Ratings

It wasn’t inexplicable. We were already getting overrun towards the end of the first half. You can’t just say things are inexplicable because they don’t work.

Re: Why the panic?

Villa are 2nd to City in form since their manager arrived. Spurs have a manager that plays to their strengths more than last season’s manager.

There are at least 12 teams worse than them and we will be fine against most of them.

Re: Today’s Blast from our Recent Burnley Past (XIII) - Trevor Steven

I still say the Everton side of the mid 80’s was better than the Liverpool side of either the early or late 80’s. The Europe ban affected the longevity and as such we only saw it for a couple of seasons. Steven was a special player in a special team that played great attacking football.
