I think it's more city being poor than anything Everton are doing City have had this problem for years. Every so often they throw in a game where they insist on walking the ball into the net. 67% possession and no shots on target is truly awful, yet they never seem to learn the lesson from these bl...

The same problem will surface, mainly consistency. I can imagine teams at the bottom having players sin binned, whilst players from the top 6 get away with it. Just yet another reason to stick it to us. There are already rules in place to deal with dissent, all it takes is referees to implement them...

Last seasons team needed a couple of quality signings to shore up midfield and in front of the defence. The players we bought are good, just not what we needed. There's no evidence we didn't try to fill those rolls, but if we did we failed. People pointing the finger at Beyer and the defence, who ar...

It was only a couple of years ago when people local to me, were being asked to travel 25 miles to find an NHS dentist. I've been told that my last dentist had a melt down and quit to become a train driver.......wtf. He was a great bloke, and really cared. The practice has now been bought out by a co...

Chelsea have the same problem we do, where are the leaders on the pitch. Loads of talent, but no John Terry to galvanise them.
Buelhy has made a right shambles, isn't it satisfying.

Colburn_Claret

The prices have been kept low for a good many years now, and we are still one of the lowest in the league. I have no problem with an increase, but I worry if people take the view why are we paying more?, instead of how cheap we are compared to most, it will have a negative impact. Parachute payments...

Colburn_Claret

Can you ever remember a Burnley side as poor with a throw in, nobody wants it, we take 20 seconds and throw it straight to the opposition, it’s bizarre Nobody shows for the ball, that's what happens with a team lacking confidence. It's where a good captain/leader earns his coin. He'd be barking out...

Colburn_Claret

It is obvious to me we have talented players, it's also obvious there is a lack of experience at this level.
They will improve in time, too late to save this season, but most of all we need a leader, even more so because of the inexperience.

Colburn_Claret

It really doesn't matter who the starting XI is, we have good players, but a crap team, and no matter how you shuffle the pack, we have no leaders on the pitch, too little experience of this level on the pitch, and not enough nous and composure under pressure. We just need the rest of this season fo...

Colburn_Claret

Delighted with a point in the end, and the new boys showed a lot of promise, but that performance, against a rank Fulham side, was just awful.
Miles away from where we need to be, and that lack of leadership in key moments, and key areas of the pitch will haunt us all season.

Colburn_Claret

Shocking defending, no pressure from our cbs at all.

I'd wish Connor luck, but don't want anything positive for dirty Leeds. He deserves a good move, I just don't see what VK sees and doesn't see in our squad. The good players from last season frozen out, and the usual lack of explanation from the club regarding anything. I'm sure we are all on the sa...

Colburn_Claret

I like Roberts a quality player if not top drawer. Like most players he needs a system that suits his style, and neither Dyche or Kompany have got the best out of him. It's partly why he has always looked better playing for Wales. Last season, against inferior opposition, he fit in well, but this se...

Colburn_Claret

We have some talented players, but we are a **** team. The main problem has been obvious all season, no leaders on the pitch. The loss of Pope, Tarks, Mee, Cork and Barnes leaves no-one to fire these young players up, and gel them. To get another tonking off City is hardly surprising, and shouldn't ...

Getting rid of VAR doesn't stop the bad decisions, it only makes it worse. VAR has provided proof that the only way to stop bad decisions is to get rid of the referees that make them. They have a difficult job, made harder by a bunch of cheating players. And close calls will always create disagreeme...

Russell Martin doing a really good job at Saints. They had a poor start to the season, but they have really turned it around. Swansea fans were really ****** when he left them, and they had some of the best possession stats in last seasons championship. I'm surprised he isn't this season's 'Carrick'...

Speaking as someone who has never suffered from mental health issues, I've grown to believe that part of the issue is an inability to see beyond the problems.

Walking the Dales and Lakes is a passion, people who recommend it for relieving stress are not wrong. Birdwatching, although I've been lacking lately. I used to do water colours, and I've found that the times when the weather, or circumstances, keep me indoors I get bored very quickly. A day of watc...

He is not good enough for the PL when we need him to be so. A signing that hasn't worked out. I'm sure Kompany and the club are doing everything to make him feel at home but it isn't making a difference No argument he hasn't produced what we expected, or needed, but the league has loads of quality ...

Colburn_Claret

I get the feeling no one dare ask the obvious question!!! The same question applies to several players from last season that won the championship by a country mile. Every manager in the history of the game has given the team that got you promoted an opportunity!! VK knows best 100 hours and they wi...

A credible result against a team that will all likely be vying against Arsenal, Chelsea and City next season.

Forest next up in the league, another tough game, hopefully we can take some positives into it from today.

Maatsen would have been destroyed, as a fullback, in the Prem. Charlie Taylor is an excellent defender. I think Mr Kompany totally misjudged his squad capability and need for the Prem, given he wanted Maatsen badly. This season is down to Mr K decisions. Not a question for you in particular Ian, bu...

Colburn_Claret

Hmm. I agree some of the new signing haven’t worked out but not sure about this argument. In terms of the character, you’d probably put Brownhill as the kind you’re alluding to, yet he was one of the worst players on the pitch tonight. I think things are just amplified because we’ve not being good ...

Ineptitude

Colburn_Claret

Is bumba’s argument here that if the striker wasn’t there, Trafford wouldn’t get to it? The problem with that argument is the striker was there, and he fouled him. So it’s irrelevant whether he’d get to it or not. It’s a clear foul. He fouled him agreed, so Trafford gives up and waits for the whist...

Colburn_Claret

There's no doubt it was a foul, imo the problem is Trafford was so weak that he gives the var an out. If he'd really gone for it and made the foul more obvious it would have been given. It doesn't matter anymore the points have gone, and overall we just weren't good enough. If we had half the battle...

Bottleless.
West Ham, Palace.... these things don't happen by accident.

We don't have the fighters we need, the leaders on the pitch, they all hope someone else is going to do it for them.

If he makes the difference who cares. Chelsea can't afford to sell players cheaply as ffp has been pushed to the limit.

Colburn_Claret

Loans are probably our best bet.
We've already spent a load in summer.
It was difficult to attract players when most thought we'd stay up, it has to be even harder now.
We have a short term problem, that requires a short term fix.

THats encouraging from VK. Lets hope we are getting a proper striker as one of these. With the inevitable mistakes in defence and midfield which is leading to goals, a striker who knows where the net is, is going to be critical in gaining points. WE also need an insurance plan should Foster's issue...

Buying a house is easy, it's getting a mortgage that's the problem. It's ironic that people who pay £600 a month rent, and have done so for years, cannot find a lender to pay £500 a month. Considering the equity is in the property, that's a nonsense. How do you resolve that issue is the question we ...

Colburn_Claret

No Michael Mellon, it would be a good game to settle him back at the club.
It could be a sign he will at least make the bench on Friday, especially with Foster looking doubtful.

Colburn_Claret

He's been crap for Leeds, scores 1 worldy, and suddenly people forget the dross.
I'm sure there will be you tube clips of Sunday league players scoring worldies, maybe we should sign them

He's flattered to deceive at times, and definitely requires a Foster type player alongside him, but he's had touches of class that show what he is capable of.

I'm glad it's over for you, whatever it was.

Muric for me.
Trafford has improved a lot lately, and kept us in games, but it's Murics influence in attack that gets him the nod, and his command of the box.

Colburn_Claret

Just watching the replay and Muric did nothing wrong. It was a good throw out that Amdouni made a mess of.

Colburn_Claret

Reasonable scoreline, but nowhere near enough quality. Our lack of physicality, and lack of composure, are beyond repair. I still prefer Muric, despite those ridiculous short passes to marked players, but after 18 months it needs to be recognised that VK must be insisting he plays it. How else can y...

Colburn_Claret

We are so poor, the unforced errors are countless.

Colburn_Claret

Great finish, but why do we have to be so weak at giving the ball away again and again. Talent counts for nothing if you're soft as muck.
You can carry a couple if the rest of the team is strong, but we have Foster.....and that's it.
