Guardiola is definitely to blame for 'top, top player'

Hmm maybe. Feels like a Keys and Gray thing?

Pickles

One more - "you couldn't write it" or "you wouldn't believe it!"

A footballer scoring a goal in a football game. I can believe it.

Pickles

Top, top.

Top, top player. Top, top manager. Top, top team.

Drives me insane.

And describing midfielders as 8s or 6s etc.

Pickles

The amount of times we've capitulated immediately after half time, I'd love to see what happens in the changing room. Half expecting to see shots and strippers.

Pickles

May as well ask if we'd be happy with Ancelotti.

Pickles

Shows what a stale season it's been that we're debating Rodriguez or Barnes.

Pickles

Surely the project relies heavily on staying in the Premier League for more than one limp, lacklustre season? Sure, yo-yo, bounce back etc etc. Fair enough. But the whole model underpinning whatever specifically the project is depends hugely on the finances and exposure the Premier League provides.

Pickles

A bag of pilau would do all right up against our midfield.

But yes Rice is a very, very good player.

Pickles

Baby steps.

1. Players who run.
2. Players who tackle.
3. Players who can defend set pieces.

All three would be huge improvements on this season and anything else a bonus.

Not exactly sure on the team but at least six of them will look forlornly at each other as Trafford picks himself off the ground in another postcode while an Arsenal player sprints away to celebrate after nodding in a free header.

Pickles

Sounds like he's maybe going to Capital Breakfast to replace Roman Kemp. Jamie Laing as Jordan's replacement is an odd one.

Pickles

Blue passports though.

We have not won a game without Beyer have we?

In a season where we've been rubbish and haven't won many, I'm not so sure how strong a stat that is.

Pickles

Very envious. I was in a play a few steps from Times Square, lived across from Central Park, somewhere I'd definitely not have stayed if not for work. Never had much interest in NYC before but straight off the plane it hits you, like a film set on every corner. Enjoy!!

Watching Liverpool. Can’t see them giving us any problems on Saturday

Liverpool under nines would give us problems at the min.

I think you are being harsh on Vitinho as he is never a LB or RB as long as I have a hole in my backside.
It is Kompany who deserves the mark of 3 for playing him in this position.

What is he then? Because he's not a winger or a wingback.

Pickles

Slept on it. Trafford - 4 Assignon - 6 O'Shea - 4 Ekdal - 4 Vitinho - 3 - would be lower if I could. He's gone from Championship bit part, back up to Premier League starter but I'm not convinced he's even League One. Brownhill - 3 - if I wanted to watch someone just run around on a Saturday, I'd go ...

or I would try and try to get Jose. I don’t think that’s a s far fetched as you might think.

No, it's more farfetched than I could ever think. Genuinely up there with some of the most bizarre statements written on this messageboard.

Pickles

Fofana showed more bo!!ocks in about twenty minutes than most of them have all season.

Pickles

Get in! Great break. Two new boys combine.

Pickles

We haven't conceded straight after half time again?

Pickles

Abysmal. Kompany spoke midweek how pace, intensity and getting around the pitch is more important than experience. So where is it in this team? Fulham first to every ball. Burnley flatfooted, yellow-bellied and crawling their way through a must win game. Shock horror - Vitinho at left back is a disa...

Vitinho is a car crash in the PL

He's a very bad player. Been saying it for a long time. Not even convinced he's Championship level. Got the best agent in the world.

Pickles

It's beyond abysmal.

Pickles

Free header. Pathetic.

Pickles

That's a couple (maybe more?) now of really impressive, detailed and honest interviews from Matt Williams. Seems a decent bloke.

Rovers fans never seem to have taken to him, despite him giving them their highest finish in a decade. Funny bunch.

I'd love to know what it is they see in him.

He's the least skillful Brazilian player I think I've ever seen.

He's a bad player. Says so much of this season that he's being applauded for things like his effort and determination. Should be the bare minimum.

Pickles

Quite impressive how so much has been spent (relatively), so many incomings... and we still have one left back who Kompany doesn't really fancy, and glaring gaps in midfield and up front.

Pickles

He was the one I thought could adapt the best to the Prem but hasn't been the case. Yes, he hasn't had much opportunity but there must be a reason for that. Hope it isn't the last we see of him in a Burnley shirt, as he is such an exciting player to watch when he's on it. Will be interesting to see ...

Pickles

Looks a decent signing in a position we needed to improve upon. He and Estéve need to be superstars though if they're going to make us better in central midfield, left back and up front as well.

Pickles

I'd probably be a bit snappy too if I was watching Vitinho play ahead of me every week.

Pickles

Get in! Game on!

Oh damn, full time.

"How many times have we seen Doku win the ball back in his own half? He's been brilliant." - Conor Cody, 5Live Yes it's Man City and they've got all the quality in the world on the ball. But off it, they are just as equally immense. Kompany has tried to make us a melted Madame Tussaud version of Man...

How the **** does the City keeper not see a red card there

Don't want to sound flippant but it doesn't even matter does it? Man City could have just four players and someone from the stand and we still wouldn't get close to them.

Pickles

Isn’t that what a relegation threatened team can look like at times? We see it so often in other teams. That’s why I never criticise effort or desire because we have no idea what is really going on in their heads. Shell shocked is how I would describe us at times this season. Yes but we've looked l...

According to Leisure you need glasses for having that opinion haha

I may be completely wrong but sometimes it looks as if some of them out there have never spoken to each other.

Pickles

Opposition aside, as tonight is a pointless exercise... I think this has got to be the softest, most unlikeable Burnley team I've seen. There just doesn't seem to be any passion, pride or grit. I know it's an unquantifiable thing but you can sense it can't you? All footballers at this level are pamp...

Pickles

An abysmal performance so far. Devoid of pretty much every bare minimum you can think of.

Pickles

If vk wanted a ‘proper rb’ Roberts would be starting each game from what we have, an improving Vitinhio offers more of the other aspects vk wants from a full back. Hence why he plays. Certainly an area that will improved on at some stage you’d expect. Roberts is miles and miles the better player in...

Pickles

It's really pretty poor that we could finish below Sheffield United (possibly) and Luton (more and more likely) after being streets ahead of them a year ago. Especially Luton. But they're everything we're not this season and three words come to mind - identity, effective, savvy.

Pickles

If Sheffield win tonight that would be 8 points from 6 league games for Wilder. I know it’s controversial what is everyone’s thoughts on a new manager bounce for us this season? Do you think it could potentially save us? Or would it be too little too late (like Sheffield) Nah. Too much of a project...

Pickles

I said last season after Luton played us on the Turf that I thought signing Adebayo would improve us. Looked a handful everytime I've seen him. Two goals tonight.

Is it another one of their protests down at Ewood tonight? And will it have miraculously stopped if they get through and get Man United at home in the next round?

Come on Wrexham! Set the week up nicely.

Forgot the draw's already been made. But anyway!
