We have a bigger picture to paint but lets hope it hangs on a gallery wall when finished and doesn't end up on the flea market

Good summary, but why are we not targeting balls to Dwight?
He is the only player that has some magic about him now and we are setting our team up to use the other wing.

Nice of you to presume to speak for all Burnley fans but I suspect that's untrue. Seventeenth buys us more potential for success (like, I dunno, finishing seventh the next year) than we'll ever achieve while marauding in the Championship.cricketfieldclarets wrote:The bigger picture is that fans will only put up with playing for 17th at the expense of all else for so long.

'Aye, sonny, harken unto me of the time we were beaten 3-1 on aggregate in the Europa League ("what's that, Dad?") round of 32 tie against Dinamo Zagreb ("who's that, Dad?"). It cost us our league status and now we're travelling do Doncaster this weekend, but it was glorious, boy. Glorious.

Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
A bit concerned over us putting together 'patched up' sides. Two key games coming up that will require more than a 'make do and mend'. And then there are more games to come after that.
Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
Tbh the prospect of staying in the Prem simply for the sake of it and to boost the balance sheet bores me to tears. I'd rather have a go in the Cups and risk relegation. Not that I agree with the theory that having a good cup run would automatically result in relegation.

I honestly never thought I would say this but yes I would rather we prioritise the league and would be happy to continue to play for survival above the cups for as long as we are successful at doing it.
I love seeing us being at the top table going up against some of the best teams and players in the world, even if it does mean the occasional beating or disappointing run.

It doesn't, you're right, but what I said was ultimately correct. That you'd rather win a cup and we be relegated. Which I find very surprising. Staying up makes the club a hell of a lot of money. Getting to a final is brilliant for the fans, of course, but staying up makes us a much more dominant force. We go down?

Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
Looking at the winners from the last 30 years, the FA cup is at best glitter on a league title, at worst, a consolation prize for not winning the league. Outside of the current top six riches clubs, in those 30 years only Wigan (relegated that season), Portsmouth (literally went bankrupt), and Everton (oh, they won it, did they?) have won the FA cup. For clubs like us (not great, but not tin-pot, either) it's a pointless competition and it's about as romantic as a chippy tea on a kerb with your missus.

Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
I am beginning to wonder about Sean's cup strategy. Remember the amazing self belief that Coyle's League Cup run gave the 2009 promotion team? Also the important psychological boost that beating reigning champions Chelsea away last season gave the team for the rest of the season? Maybe if Burnley had gone to City and taken them on it might have had the same effect even if they lost.
Instead they went there and committed one foul in the 90 minutes, Long's dumbass foul that gave away the penalty. Just to go there and roll over something to nil can't be good for the players self esteem and confidence can it?

If our players were deluded enough to think they could progress or even win the cup, then yes, this is a hit to their self esteem. I suspect they are more focused on that which actually matters, though. Personally, I don't think professional football players are the pussies some make them out to be. We've gone beyond the tin-pot notion of needing 'the spirit of the cup' to do owt notable because we actually have some decent footballers playing for us these days.

I couldn't give a toss about any cup competition until we get firmly established in the PL (doubt that will happen), we might one year have a cup run and get to the final where we will be battered 5-0 by Man City - I'd rather we didn't bother and try and make progress in playing style and league position

Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
Nobody really expected us to get anything out of the game, me included. However, I personally expected a far better performance than what we got. There certainly wasn't enough energy, or all round awareness from the team collectively. No closing down opposition quickly, giving quality players acres of space is criminal. No tracking runners, especially into dangerous areas. We showed far too much respect to the opposition. The only way you have a chance against a robotic team like City is to get in there faces. The only player to come out with any credit for me is our least experience player Dwight McNeil, who did show some quality and composure at times.

As long as you have never felt a warm glow when watching clips or listening to stories of our 1960s European campaigns, or FA Cup final loss.
Personally. I think that’s what makes us Burnley, rather than, say, Stoke. It means something. We’ll never look back on this era with that same fondness.
Fernandinho has played 2400 minutes this season, Cork has played less than 2000 including Europe. Why was he rested yesterday? It’s nothing to do with the depth of City’s squad. It doesn’t wash with me.

Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
As referenced above the FA Cup in it's current format is meaningless to all but the top six or PL clubs (who could, if they wanted, field two teams of relatively equal strength) and most in the Championship.
It's about teams who can take it seriously without it making an impact on their priorities or lower league clubs making a financial windfall.
A full-strength team playing to it's maximum potential would have lost yesterday. We have two huge games this week that has to be the priority. Players coming back from injury and suspension got a decent risk-free workout.
Of course we can all look back fondly on excellent achievements in cup competitions in the 1960s but that was a different game, effectively a different sport.
As for comparing the workload on City's players with ours. How much time do they spend in control of possession and the game - how much time and energy do our players expend chasing both.

In reality City are on another level and they could pick two teams that would probably finish above us in the Prem that’s why I have no issue over the team Dyche fielded yesterday however if we had drawn a lower team at home he probably would have fielded the same team.
Eventually we will drop out of the Prem and I would like to think by the end of that time we would have “gone deep” in one of the cups whilst we had our strongest squad.

Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
But making a lot more money brings us what? The team has not pushed on since last season. Is weaker in my opion. ALL THIS MONEY but we cant or dont seem.to be able to afford players who would improve us - immediately. We have bought three since the end of last season and not one is first choice. It is good to.have money on that I totally agree. A new training facility bears witness to that. But given the wealth of many Premier league teams - earned or given - our wealth by comparison is insignificant. Worse, games like yesterday are just not enjoyable.FactualFrank wrote:It doesn't, you're right, but what I said was ultimately correct. That you'd rather win a cup and we be relegated.

I am a bit concerned at how we as a club have decided there are certain clubs with which we can't compete. It's hardly the positive Dyche-type mantra
Re: ARTICLE: We know the bigger picture
IMO we should have stuck to our most successful 4-4-2 formation with our squad players (yes I agree that it was right to give them a chance of impressing) stepping into their best positions (with the exception of Tarkowski).
Pope
Tarks Long Gibson Ward
Hendrick Defour Westwood Brady
Barnes Vydra
We wouldn't have won but it would have been a better performance and we might have just got two or three shots on target!

There's nearly always going to be an excuse. The Premier League is the priority, promotion to the Premier League is the priority, avoiding relegation from the Championship is the priority etc.

But, unlike most on here, I don't believe it's any decision down to Dyche. He's merely an employee at the Club.
Nobody is telling me that humiliating defeats against Lincoln, Burton, Port Vale and Accrington are something that he would actually choose to have on his CV.

Lamenting a bygone era when things were different doesn't help us yesterday, though. You're railing against the increasingly rigid laws of football gravity there rather than anything else. As others have said, these days over 6 knockout rounds the big boys invariably win out, and given the identity of the team that have beaten us in the FA cup in each of the last two seasons its hardly fair to slate Dyche for our record in the competition.CrosspoolClarets wrote:A very fair argument.

There are times for taking cups seriously (I would have liked us to commit a bit more to the Europa League earlier in the season for example), but the reality is that there are also times these days when they the cups have to be parked to one side. Realistically, a season when you've ended up in a relegation battle and have a bit of an injury pile up is one of those occasions - especially when the luck of the draw gives you a vanishingly small chance of getting through the immediate tie, let alone going on to win the cup. Last season might well have been a season for having more of a go - except that we got the same rotten draw and predictably lost despite giving it a good go and putting out a strong side.
The difference for Fernandinho, by the way, is that playing at the base of midfield in a top side that dominates the ball and dictates matches involves a good deal less exertion than doing precisely the opposite, and for City yesterday obviously wasn't the first of two back to back away games within 4 days against two of the best sides in the league (on form, 2 of the top 3), before a huge home game against a direct rival next Saturday.
Yesterday was never realistically our priority. We can all quibble the finer points of team selection, but surely no one can seriously suggest that Dyche wasn't right to prioritise the league given all the context.

He's picking the team though Royboy.
3 centre backs on the pitch, Taylor at right back, Defour and Hendrick as a midfield 2, Vydra up front on his own.
It was only going to end one way (yes I know that it was Man City).
