NL Claret

Did Jamie Carragher mention that Hart was the problem or the lack of sprints? Could that be down to fitness or is that Hart's fault too?

Not sure if it's desperate or weird. At work yesterday I explained the UTC phenomenon about Joe Hart to fans of a number of other clubs. There was a lot of amusement.

NL Claret

I know of at least 2 City fans who have now become bored.

One lad at work said on Sunday he didn't celebrate some of the goals, both have said it has become a bit boring!!

There's always been scapegoats and favourites for some fans. Not too long back some fans would purr and applaud when Bikey or Stock pinged a 60 yard pass against the Bob Lord stand wall whereas others will get dogs abuse regardless. One of my favourites was that Gareth Taylor was no good as he could...

Burnley fans changed as soon as we signed Joe Hart, he's gone from not coming for crosses, to the bad apple in the changing rooms and now despite playing at the highest level doesn't have the rapport with his defenders and cannot organise them. Hart is the source of all our problems according to som...

One day it's Hendrick, another day it is Hart who is the reason for our troubles.

They actually have some form of midfield. Hogg been busy breaking up play and Mooy trying to create going forward.

NL Claret

Based on the head to head over previous seasons Fulham have a good record home and away against Huddersfield so an away win for me, over 1.5 goals and under 4 cards.

Both in poor form, can't see it being a spectacular game with Anthony Taylor making it worse.

Yes, we should be looking at Drinkwater, Moses and Loftus-Cheek at Chelsea, well within our budget

NL Claret

Cork been awful this season.

NL Claret

The midfield is weak. End of.

Defour Westwood fkin Hendrick and Cork....play them in any combination it's like shuffling deck chairs on the titanic.

Success was built on a strong middle with Jones / Marney then Barton/ Marney then 3 with fkin Hendrick Defour Cork.

NL Claret

or the recruitment wasn't good enough or is it the injuries or the transfer window finishing early or Joe Hart?

NL Claret

Do people on the Board think we are as fit as previous seasons-this can be a reason. For example Defours lunge at the WHU winger yesterday We have previously enjoyed a reputation of high fitness, high energy and battling team work. Few of the media talk about this now I wonder if pre-season was aff...

NL Claret

Just been on UTS message board, time for Hughes to go and the problem is McCarthy in goal.

NL Claret

Usually avoid betting on us however 10/11 on Chelsea HT Chelsea FT represented reasonable value last week for a treble (which Arsenal spoiled!)

NL Claret

Why are there no threads on how bad the midfield are?

NL Claret

Dyche has done amazing. Agreed. Is he doing amazing now though. Could anyone do any worse than him at the moment? Look at his record since January 18. Anyone else would have been fired. Now obviously he shouldn’t have been but it’s now become horrific. How long do we give him? I know you won't answ...

NL Claret

Is because he's not speaking to Mee anymore, carrying an injury?

Hate is a bit strong, fans save that for fkin Hendrick or blame everything on Hart.

Others like Lowton and Cork who have been dross this season don't get mentioned.

NL Claret

Allowances can be made for some players but not for the scapegoats.

The Hart thing with fans / UTC posters gets weirder by the day.

NL Claret

Watched Leicester against Arsenal and they more than matched them for 60 minutes. Could have been 2 up at half time. They have a physical presence and pace in the midfield. We don't have that, Cork has missed one game but don't now think he's the answer as he's been as poor as any others all season....

Just arrived home. My OP was a question and I’ve had time on the train to reflect on it. I still believe it’s time for a change. Debate if you want rather than slanging your proletariat vibes at me.

SD's signings Jones, Heaton and Arfield, Lowton, Keane,Tarks, Ward, Defour Cork Pope JBG, Westwood, Brady, Barnes,Hart, nothing wrong with them. Jury still out with Gibson Vydra. Bardsley Taylor, Reid, Juke, Jones (Forward) Sordell, Walters, Wells pretty poor IMO. Can't comment on the other keepers...

This should get the UTC weapons salivating.

Source of this article is probably UTC. Lazy journalist needs to write a few lines on Burnley. Best place to get some info been social media.

Can't see this lot our top of my list of clubs however noticed on Twitter the journalist for the local paper was having a go at some replies to him.

The manager would refer to fine margins, no fluke.

Fair enough i thought the new TD would be starting ASAP,in that case we'll find out in the summer,obviously our targets will depend on whichever league we are competing in at that time. I'm assuming the TD won't be conducting any negotiations,that will still be in the hands of the chairman. Read so...

I guess we'll find out in the next window,Burnley aren't using the moneyball system,so the onus will fall to the recruitment team. Of course whether the recommendations will be pursued and fit the manager's criteria is a whole different ball game. We won't find out in the next window, the new TD ei...

The midfield is exposing the defence too, that could be a problem. Some really poor below par performances in the central midfield department.

Multiple 'problems' at the moment Lack of apparent fitness (has the squad changed their diet this season?)

I think jlup1980 has ended this thread. Can you imagine starting a thread ................is the problem Jack Cork?

Mentioned to a colleague (City fan) about this bizarre indifference towards Joe Hart. He said you'd be getting beat by cricket scores if it wasn't for him mate. Funny how fans / posters complain about lack of ambition etc and then start to wonder if signing a player with 70 international caps is now...

Decent thread for a change until post 69 tries to derail it with their intelligent and unsubstantiated input.

This Hart thing from posters on here / fans is getting rather weird.

To be fair the OP could have been written before Sunday's game as it bears no resemblance.

It is the usual, I've got my scapegoats and I've got my favourite players who shall not come in for any criticism.

Agree the work rate and energy is not there at present for whatever reason also noticeable we aren’t getting blocks in like we were previously. We are desperately missing a leader like Barton. I’d wiped the West Brom games from my memory! I still have nightmares about the Monday night game. Had onl...

NL Claret

Ah I see. But my point still stands, we turned in some dire performances in that first part-season under Dyche...one of which was Leeds away. Your point is valid too, now that get what you’re referring to. Apologies. From memory the first part - season wasn't too bad. The problems came when we had ...

NL Claret

I’m not saying it’s down to Hart I’m just saying Heaton to my memory has never conceded 4 or 5’s for us. At the moment there would be arguements for more than half the team to be dropped. Have to agree with that unfortunately there probably isn't anything better in reserve. Our success last season ...

NL Claret

Had this chat last night Heaton is a good as Hart at making saves we never conceded 4 or 5’s with Heaton in goal. Heaton didn't have a defence that is over all the show and a midfield 4 or 5 that is protecting the back 4. The "framework" has disappeared and that has nothing to do with Hart. We can'...

Personally happy with the location of the new big screen, I can't see it from the JHU.

The bloke next to me had to leave at half time, it wasn't football related, fair play to him just coming for the first half knowing he would have to go. If it was a bit warmer I'd have stayed at the caravan and not bothered going as it was 1:30pm on Sunday which is a right inconvenience for me. I le...

Who did they bring off the bench? Was it 2 World Cup winners? I guess that might make it more difficult too. Not for some of our posters / fans though.

NL Claret

Awful. Thought he was going to rub their goalkeepers leg better late in the second half.

Chelsea had Pawson in their pocket all game. He even blew for kick off about 10 seconds into the minute silence.

Why stop the game for having 2 balls on the pitch for 1/100th of a second too?

NL Claret

As opposed to Hendrick who got himself booked just running up behind a Chelsea player and kicking him with the ball not anywhere near? Which then meant when players were running past him later he couldn't make a tackle in case he got another yellow? Sorry I didn't hold that against him now and shou...

I don't have the time (or energy!) to read through this entire thread but, as normal, the absolute crap posted after a defeat is here for all to see. We just lost to Chelsea.

Flicking through the replies on here I can't see any mention how good Chelsea were. A lot of teams will be "awful" against Chelsea. The gulf grows ever wider. The some of the reactions around me when Hendrick was hooked were embarrassing. They were probably the ones who applauded cork off who was dr...
