Interestingly TurfCast (most popular Burnley fan twitter account there is) have done a poll of VK in or out, currently it’s at 69% IN.

259 votes is such a huge sample size.

Norwich 2-0 Burnley.

It was that bad.

We were a Cornet sitter away from 1-1 weren't we?

Entirely different

CoolClaret

I honestly can't believe he spent the best part of £65 million on Amdouni, Trafford, Ramsey and Tresor.

We'd have at least as many if not more points if non of them had signed. Staggering money for a club of our size.

He signed loads of players from abroad. Buendia, Pukki etc etc.

He signed a few yeah - not all in one window replacing the team he had that romped the Champ though did he?

Pukki and Buendia were good as well!!

Agree with Vegas. He needs to start next season. Daniel Farke was the same at Norwich and their fans wanted him out. They’d all have him back in a heartbeat now.

I don't think Farke was ever backed quite like this, was he?

CoolClaret

It's the man management aspect that I have serious concerns about. Tactics are one thing but keeping a unit together and believing is the main thing - I haven't seen any evidence of that. To have just one player that played in a 101 point Champ winning team today is just insane. How can you expect t...

CoolClaret

Honestly this season was so predictable.

You just cannot do what he did in Summer and expect to have a cohesive unit.

It was obvious then, just painful now.

CoolClaret

Declan Rice alone cost pretty much the same as our entire team, so whilst there should be some perspective I didn't see any fight at all and that can't be allowed at any level in a Burnley shirt We've played him before plenty of times like! I'm more bothered about how unenjoyable we are to watch no...

These lads are not trying for VK. They just cannot be this bad, can they?

No I think they have genuine quality, just been awfully managed from summer till now.

CoolClaret

A couple on here actually thought we did well 1st half which I find laughable tbh, the warning signs for this car crash performance were sawn as soon as the 1st went in and we completely stopped any form of pressing or showed any intensity or intent in our play! It's the same that gaslight about wh...

I’m putting this Arsenal game in between the Villa and Spurs game in second position.

I'd go with that.

Someone tell me one thing Trafford does better than Muric. Shot stopping?

Debatable - think his general positioning / presence are absolutely shocking

CoolClaret

Exactly this, the values that “we would never compromise on” have all been compromised, no one has a clue who or what we are. To say we have such ruthless businessmen in charge they are easily taken in by the BS that Vinny spouts in every presser. It's crazy what perceptions can do. VK is getting o...

Please can we just try one game with Benson, Muric, Cullen all featuring together with a 3 man midfield?

Seriously what is there to lose?

WTF is our identity

Gone from a relentless, passing team that likes to have a go to a tepid, dull, fannying around at the back then aimlessly punt it bunch of individuals that sulk and look hard done to as soon as they go a goal down.

It's mental the hill that VK wants to die on.

Rank bad this.

Benson and Cullen on please.

That process you are describing is exactly how most bands start, they listen to some bands, get some heroes, make music in the vein of them. What is the difference, other than the automation?

Agreed Dave, put simply England have no idea how to play 5 day test cricket.

Our aggressive nature is the thing that gave us a slither of a chance to get back into it after India's first innings score.

It's nothing to do with the style of play at all. We're performing well with this approach.

You mean Brookes ?

Of course - Brook went home didn't he.

Another young 'un to slowly bed in them squad.

Just bored of Bairstow.

CoolClaret

Trying to set up primarily to nullify Arsenal would be futile, imo. Just have to play our best defenders of set pieces and those that can create goals from nothing. I would match their 3 in the middle though, Cullen/Massengo in for Amdouni, Benson would get the last 35 mins off the right hand side.

CoolClaret

Not like Jonny Bairstow to get a duck/low score when we need an innings from him is it?...

Would be his last series for me. Time to keep Foakes and blood another young batter in.

Navalny was a nationalist with previous links to the far right. Had to apologise in the past for racist and anti-Semitic comments. He wasn’t what the West thought he was and wanted him to be.

This seems like two points that very directly contradict each other.

No reason to think the same wouldn't have happened with the even more popular Tella. N...

I like Matt Williams.

Just wondering why he's now the defacto spokesperson for the club?

Seem to only hear from Pace when we get a win, radio silence when we're getting panned.

Anyone who watches and actively likes American Football cannot in any way shape or form ever complain about VAR in our game.

How do you work that one out then? Two completely different games.

CoolClaret

Bar LWB we have all the personal to play 3-4-3 / 3-5-2

Beyer-O'Shea-Esteve would be a solid back three, with Delcroix/Chaz being able to provide cover at LCB and Ekdal for the central CB position

Brilliant post lord Bob. The issue that some fans have with the owners is that they came in and got rid of people and in doing so the click at the club. Those that were part of that click are no longer so and they’re bitter but the changes needed to be made long ago. The other issue some fans have ...

Good OP - Arteta is very good at making slight tweaks and tapering his system to really get after the opposition, without as you say restricting their own play style too much. 442 did a good breakdown on a change he made against West Ham to blow them away in the second half - https://www.youtube.com...
