Definitely. I think similar about Ampadu. Could've been the one to step into Cork's shoes.
Harry winks would have been a great signing for us.
Not afraid to put his foot in but also excellent on the ball

I know it's a level below etc etc but there's a few players on that pitch who'd improve us.
Leicester getting Harry winks was a real coup. He’s a top player

I think most folk within the game know about the longer term project we have going on and that doesn’t always bring continued immediate success. This project is such a myth. Every single club in the country has a project. The short term always dictates the long term. You have to be continuously suc...

Very few ‘succeed’ in the scheme of things, usually due to the modern phenomenon of needing instant success and not being given the time and support needed. I’m sure Neville admitted he really didn’t see himself as a manager but thought why not when it was offered. Vk lives and breathes it. VK can ...

Would it? Think he has the pace to get up and down. Who would you have in there instead? Note I have cork on his side to be the more disciplined one filling in for any gaps he may leave if bombing on. Doubt we will play 3 at the back - can’t imagine we’ve been working on it in training.

Beyer has played in over half the games this season.
Ekdal never plays regardless.
Foster only a handful of games.
Surprised you didn’t mention Benson. Who is IMO our actual best player

Yes, but you said "right now" and the manager can't pick his 3 best players at present due to injury. All of whom are in your team, and would be in everybody's if fit.
Just look how City went on without one key player Rodri. [That's all I'm saying]
Who are the three injured players?

Trafford
Roberts, O’Shea, Taylor, Delcroix
Cork, Cullen, Berge
Larsen Foster Redmond
Honestly I would just sit all eleven men behind the ball and pray for a clean sheet

VK signed them as cover, not to all play at once. It’s like playing 4 Kevin Longs at once, you can get away with 1 if he’s next to Mee. Cullen and Berge were sat infront of the back four, Cullens also struggling. He specifically said that O’Shea was going to be good enough for a top 6 team. Why’s h...

You were the one who posted the XG last night, Everton’s was 2.1 but they should have scored 6, aye alright.
So does XG matter or not? Or only matters when you’re using Burnley’s XG to slag off the team?
XG is in indicator. As you usually say the eye test is the better one

5 or 6? You’re over egging it. I thought we controlled them for most of the game whilst creating nothing of note. It was never a 5-0 or 6-0 game.
Could easily have been 5 or 6 with better finishing. Re watch the highlights Everton missed a couple of sitters

He wasn’t to know AAD wasn’t ready for this level and Vitinho isn’t good enough, there was only one way to find out. As for Delcroix well he’s clearly been signed as cover. Our second choice back four isn’t good enough when all playing at the same time, that’s not VKs fault, that’s to be expected. ...

I think it will be interesting to see what VK does when Muric is clearly the best option in nets The introduction of Muric gave us more questions than answers It allowed us to have more of the ball and be ten yards up the pitch but on the same hand it also made us really vulnerable to the counter a...

We are two / three players away from being a decent enough side. The issue is that the two / three required are needed in key areas.

I think VK has got the best part of a few weeks to turn this round.
Get back to absolute basics, sort the defence out.
If we can start keeping clean sheets the points will come.
Concede three a game against Palace/arsenal etc… and I’m not sure he’s going to give Pace any other choice

Three of the next four games are at home if we are still only on five or six points then we are really big trouble as we will need to win nine out of the 24 games left. The board will need to weigh up the odds at this point and decide what to do in order to give any new incumbent a window to sort t...

I'm sorry but anyone wanting Kompany gone is very, very silly. Just unbelievable even contemplating it.
Genuine question how is it unbelievable to even contemplate it?
I’m sure even VK is probably thinking his time is running out.

I'm not convinced that either Tella or Maatsen wanted to sign.
I'm not convinced that THB would have been a massive improvement on what we have.
I think he would have given us some leadership at the back

Didn't think we played anywhere near as bad as the last two games. Scoreline flattered them but they certainly didn't have to work hard for it. Poor in our own 6 yard box. Will ultimately be out downfall if we don't fix it. Muric showed us exactly what we've been missing. So much better building ou...

And once again, an opposition has had to do next to nothing to not only beat us but batter us.
Yep Dyche has probably never had an easier game to manage in his career.
Even when we won games 3-0 under Dyche we at least had to face an attack.

I’m sorry but watched the match and so far we are 100% better than the last 2 outings and Muric makes a massive difference
Better at what ClaretAl?
We are 60 minutes into the game and we haven’t had a shot on target and could easily be 3 or four down
