In all seriousness this could be 8 or 9 for city tonight

Where’s the aggression and pressing? This is pathetic

When City lose possession...they arry and chase and get the ball back within seconds...we lose it and we can't do anything like that for some reason.

I did say if we kept it under 5 we’d have done well. That’s looking unlikely at the moment.

Honestly watching these lads stroll around the pitch in our current position tells me they don’t give two shits either.

We can bang on about quality all you want but you just wouldn’t see Luton roll over and show there stomachs like our lads are right now

Vitinho Dara Ekdal Al Dakhil

:lol:

I think AAD will be a good player but he’s a mistake waiting to happen this season, Ekdal turned into Maldini whilst he wasn’t playing for a stick to beat VK with.

The cold hard reality is, collectively and individually 3 of these four are not good enough. You can cry all you want about last seasons players not playing but we’ve all seen the evidence why.

Our total spend this season would just about buy Grealish and perhaps pay him a month's wages. And he's not even playing!

100% only Dara got what it needs which makes it more puzzling why we haven't signed any fullbacks going into the last day of the window?

You don't get it.

The spirit and fight has been dismantled through disastrous man management, team selections and recruitment.

It's an embarrassingly bad season that should have been a united Burnley fighting like mad and going at it.

I have seen enough now and it's just miles off a unit that are playing together with cohesion. It's disheartening, disenfranchising and quite frankly, dog ****.

Oh and having that backline tonight absolutely highlights how shite our business has been.
