What a load of rubbish. What does ' it's the way we play' mean ?

Have you watched Burnley under Vincent Kompany? Not rubbish at all, just the truth.

Its not that simple It is, we didn't have the composure to score and they did. Also, credit has to go to their keeper who made good saves. We are always going to make some mistakes. It's the way we play, we need to take our chances. These mistakes aren't going to stop, we need to out score our oppo...

superdimitri

They lost the ball at the back and we didn't score and we lost the ball and they did.

superdimitri

How did you guys miss it? He was hitting his forhead numerous times and had his head in his hands after he realised what he did.
Us fans and Kompany will be annoyed but if you saw his reaction he's the one annoyed the most.

superdimitri

Time to show off our ball retention and get a few goals in the process.
Worse thing we can do is play too defensively because if they get one back they'll be right up for it.

superdimitri

So Churlinov played badly, yet he did this?

superdimitri

Reading Hull fans comments they range from him bringing nothing to playing well and just needing a goal. https://www.not606.com/threads/wba-v-hull-city.409466/page-10 The above is fan-hypocrisy at it's best. Complaining about his performance and then he immediately assists a goal. He's been playing ...

Even if we get relegated this season will be a big learning experience. You don't learn much winning every game. Much better we got promoted for financial reasons too.

superdimitri

His off the ball movement was fantastic. He found pockets of space well. The guys an intelligent footballer. Just needs to use the ball better and buy fouls. If you don't have the strength and power you can make yourself a target for fouls, in turn you'll make the opposition scared of touching you. ...

superdimitri

I can understand your logic, but we didn't have a dominant midfield player like Berge in Dyche's team. I reckon if we have O'Shea, Beyer, Taylor, Berge and Rodriguez on the field (and bring on Ekdal rather than Cullen), then it's a pretty tall defensive line at set pieces. What we do miss in these ...

superdimitri

I can see his logic behind the substitutions. The aim was the keep the ball, which is essentially our main defence against conceding. If you keep the ball, you cannot concede. The issue was that we didn't keep the ball well, and panicked. The lack of threat as Koleosho went off invited West Ham forw...

superdimitri

We played well, but we failed to put the game to bed. Then, we failed to keep possession when it mattered. We are not a balls to the wall type of team like in the past. The way we avoid goals is by keeping the ball and we didn't control the game. We should have had two penalties. Their first was a b...

superdimitri

Can’t be sure because he hasn’t played in the PL but the growth trajectory appears to be higher, put it this way he’s come through the ranks at Man City & there’s already talk of £20 mil before he’s kicked a ball in the PL & U21 international recognition in contrast to another international (in fai...

superdimitri

How can we be sure he's better than O'Shea? He hasn't had to play against the best the Premier League has to offer compared to O'Shea. We have to be ruthless with recruitment. If he's not fast enough to play a high line then tough. We may not be able to play that way right now, but that's certainly ...

superdimitri

We, as fans only see games. We don't see how he is training and his attitude.
Vinny will have his reasons that others are being chosen ahead of him, it could be down to mentality or performance in training. It could even be down to discipline.

superdimitri

Benson is 26 now. He's no spring chicken in modern terms.
On the other hand players are playing at higher levels later than they used to.

superdimitri

Not sure if the commentator was right but apparently it was the first headed goal we conceded this season and against a team very good at corners. I think the issue isn't with planning or training, but more about the lack of confidence in the goalkeeper and lack of partnerships between players. Part...

superdimitri

Don't give any away by keeping the ball.

Yes why wasn't it a foul/pen for the huge shove?

Because Rodriguez didn't roll around on the ground.

superdimitri

That scream. Come on..

superdimitri

Premier League in a nutshell there. Gabriel pushes Rodriguez, a clear foul. Then Rodriguez gives as good back and he's rolling over on the ground.

superdimitri

We're going for it with the substitutions lol. I bet they score on the counter.

superdimitri

Lob balls close to our keeper and you'll score. This isn't Arsenal playing well or showing their class, it's literally Sunday league tactics of putting a big man on the opposition keeper. And it's not just about coming for balls, it's about commanding your area. If he knows he can't beat Saliba to t...

superdimitri

Unpopular opinion but I don't really agree with him. I think the system needs to be faster and more efficient but all the talk about taking power away from refs is stupid. Refs are making the VAR decisions too! Refs being poor and partial to make unfair decisions based on bias is what causes VAR, no...

superdimitri

I enjoyed this and am happy to bump, however, I can't fathom any Burnley fans who ponder why a team sits deep and then clinically wins a match 1 or 2-0 given we spent about ten years doing it. I remember listening to some Rotherham fans bemoaning a 1 or 2-0 loss at Turf way back in 15/16 on the bas...

That's not fair on O'Shea. Even Kompany himself would struggle in our current team. Our defenders deserve more credit given the terrible off-the-ball play by everyone else in the team.

superdimitri

Kompany will be furious with that performance. Terrible. We made a poor side look good.

superdimitri

If it's so marginal like that aren't you supposed to benefit the attacker? Rodriguez feet were by far onside, his head ever so slightly off.

superdimitri

Vitinho getting his shirt pulled but stupid of him to make that pass. Why has the ref let so much shirt pulling go? Either way we've gifted both goals to them by giving the ball away.

superdimitri

I don't think it's a matter of formation or even player selection. We need to do the basics better and work harder. We aren't winning second balls and we're not keeping the ball well enough.

superdimitri

Damn, we really need to step up our game. Almost gave away a goal at the end because they were so much quicker to the ball then we were.
They look a lot sharper.
We couldn't control the game after going ahead.
Come on Burnley, we can do better.

superdimitri

I we surprised when they signed Ake.

superdimitri

Getting David Seaman Ronaldinho flashbacks with their free-kick goal.

superdimitri

Great player, can score from a corner. Had a much better career than his buddy Zavon Hines who also is retired now.
Will always be remembered for his goal vs Blackburn Rovers.

superdimitri

I think it's a bit unfair to single him out. The way we play is so open, it's a nightmare for defenders. We rely completely on individual brilliance in defence so we can be more affective in attack. If you think about it, that's similar to how Kompany did so well for Manchester City. ..and its the o...

superdimitri

I don’t go in for this bigger clubs get all the decisions crap there fans moan about decisions against them just as much as us smaller club supporters do. I think it is mainly down to the individual interpretation of the Ref on the field and yes this can be subconsciously swayed dependant on where ...

superdimitri

He spoke English the whole time but I can see some people having difficulty understanding him.
Afrikaans is about 90% Dutch, I didn't hear any of that, just English.

He described it at half time as 'a championship game, a very good one at that'. He's not wrong really, but its not surprising he makes these comments. How many of these pundits are full of ego? If they don't want to be summerising the lesser games in the Premier League give the job to someone who do...

superdimitri

I mean, if that challenge was made against a club with a bigger reputation than us, I'm 100% sure it would be given. That doesn't make it right, and it doesn't change the argument of the challenge itself, but it would have been given. Just the same as if a player from a big side what Berge did at No...

superdimitri

Against a bigger team does anyone think they'd have got a penalty?

I think it was a penalty and they were unlucky.

superdimitri

Hope he gets conjunctivitis under control.

superdimitri

What a relief but jeez I guess my expectations were a bit too high. I thought we could have controlled the game more given our style of play. Maybe Luton deserve more respect after winning at Everton? At times it felt like we fell into the trap at playing them at their own game. No idea why Ramsey c...

When world football contains the likes of boca v river, Celtic v rangers, lazio v Roma, galatasaraay v fenerbache, red star v partisan I struggle to get on board with the above being one of the worse in the world. Maybe I’d be surprised. You'd be surprised. The police presence for games is massive ...

superdimitri

The rivalry with Feyenoord is one, if not the worst in world football.

superdimitri

Despite the result I thought we were very, very good. We just need that finishing touch, and perhaps a bit more drive to break down teams better when they defend like they did in the second half. Al-Dakhil was immense. It looks like we need to work on our defending, but honestly you can see our enti...

superdimitri

I don't get why we always end up with several threads discussing the same thing after each game. You can just keep it to the match thread. Even if a thread is made asking something different, the discussion moves to the same thing every time anyway.

Sad thing is, much the same as Worrel on Foster, he was being shoved and his shirt pulled and probably would have got a penalty if he fell and rolled over like a baby. Instead, Mellon was honest, kept on his feet and was completely unaware of the defenders challenge so he accidentally followed throu...
