Glad you've seen sense.

A goal from giving the ball away cheaply. It's hard enough without giving them the bloody thing.

Ederson has sold himself, it was obvious what to do. Poor.

Been frozen out for 6 months by his manager doesn't exactly help his confidence or sharpness does it?

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:14 pm

Should be 1-1 right now, would be if we had any other striker up top.

Out we go.

Is it not clear why he has been frozen out? He looks poor every occasion he plays?

Yeah he should have finished it but he made the chance for himself.

Nick could have done better, but the problem as usual is when we get turned quickly and end up running back to defend. The balls always in the net before we get back and organised.
We have to stop losing the ball on the half way line.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:17 pm

Playing for pride now, pure and simple.

Oh well, have to take your scraps against teams like City, barring a miracle it's back onto the league full time, surviving this ruthless league we're in.

Andre Gray just showing how to finish

City have one of the best squads ever assembled at an immense cost, I must admit though I'm beginning to get very bored of them

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:21 pm

Three.

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:21 pm

3-0. Is what it is. It’ll finish 5 or 6. Dyche has his much desired excuse never to play Vydra again too, so mission accomplished really.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:21 pm

Is it not over yet ?

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:22 pm

and this is why we should have sent the kids and not bother

They will be calling the monopolies commission in soon.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:23 pm

Cant make my mind up if this performance is better than the West Ham game. We've been excellent in both so its a tough call

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:24 pm

Strange how Fulham only lost 3-0 in the league, especially with their defence.

Jacko · Post by **Jacko** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:24 pm

City are boring. Where's the fun and fairness in this? It's absolutely dreadful for football.

I don’t get this perception that it’s Dyches fault that Vydra isn’t good enough. He’s played, what, maybe 8-9 games now, has he looked good enough (really) in any of them? If Dyche had Messi in his squad, he’d play him, he isn’t playing Vydra because he is the worst of the strikers we have, what other bizarre reason than that could there be?

Especially when the evidence is there when we watch him. Possibly the worst signing we’ve ever made when you consider the £12m cost.

Well he's managed to score 2 goals despite barely getting on the pitch and won the penalty against Barnsley. But of course it must be his fault we aren't allowed to criticise Dyche are we?

We'd give Liverpool a better game than this.

you cant judge vydra based on playing city as a lone striker with no sevice , thats just bloody stupid

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:27 pm

come on super Burnley

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:28 pm

As someone else has pointed out, Dyche has got his reason to freeze Vydra out for the rest of the season, so mission accomplished today.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:29 pm

great play Jeff

We need to keep the score down. Goal difference could be crucial at the end of the season.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 26, 2019 4:29 pm

at least we aren't losing to Shrewsbury like Wolves are

What reason?

This is how teams feel in the SPL when they go to Celtic. There’s no competition and no point in them turning up. In a cup though you’ve got to give it a good go. There’s a reason tickets were cheap.

Because he never wanted him in the first place, so he's trying to make some kind of pathetic point to the Board.

Bit of a bad example. Its a three horse race in Scotland this season.
