Thought he was ok, but no more than ok.

Certainly did some good things today (and I'd agree that he's being unfairly marked) but was he better than say, JBG in his second half performance?

Didnt have his best game today. However, he's one of our only match winners. He can change a game with one piece of magic. Dropping him would leave us very short of creative spark.

Also I would of played JBG today instead of Arfield. Scored two goals in the break and obviously full of confidence, looks unstoppable when he's in that mood.

No, JBG did well today and Brady had an off day, but people are now suggesting Brady should be dropped, after one bad day. I think he's been good this season, one of our best players, definitely shouldn't be dropped. Also, people groaning when he Makes mistakes cant help his confidence. They don't do it to arfield, who loses the ball just as much and creates less.

If there was ever a day when JBG and Brady were both on their game we could see a massacre. I think getting JBG for 2.5m was rediculously good business.

I'm not suggesting at all Brady should be dropped.

The one thing about this season that is ace is having options to replace players who are not doing well. We did that today and it paid off, and I'm sure we will do similar at City (but not sure it will pay off in the same way, but you never know!)

We evened out that good business by paying over the odds for Brady.

Very, very good player. I like him a lot. No to dropping him. His assist record is similar to Trippiers.

Terrible today though. Last week took too much out of him emotionally.

I didn’t think he was that bad to be honest. Sure, a few things didn’t work out but that’s always going to be the case with a player like Brady. He works relentlessly and always looks to be positive. He played the ball of the game which should have resulted in a penalty and generally has been one of our most potent attacking threats this season. So to answer the OP, no, it’s definitely not time to drop him.

People overlook the fact he put two lovely through balls in yesterday and a couple of nice crosses and was often beating his man with the fact that he lost the ball a couple of times and hit a couple of bad corners... I don't think he even played badly yesterday.

Yes if he plays like yesterday. It's not that he's not good enough for us, just not nearly as good as he thinks he is.

We're 8 games into the season - Brady cannot be resting on his assist at Spurs. No way in hell Brady offers more creativity than Gudmondsson who hit the post and created our goal today.
Are all the other players on 1 assist also resting on that assist? Top tackler as well which shows his defensive input.

He seems a decent guy. He is ambitious but that is because the things he tries come off quite often. He gets stuck in as well. I don't understand the reference to him thinking he is better than he is. He gets stuck in and tries really hard - not like players like arnoutavic(spelt wrong) who clearly rate them self and don't believe they need to get stuck in.

Wasn't particularly effective yesterday, and his corners have been poor. For a dead ball specialist, that's disappointing, but drop him?

Absolutely not. He can be a game changer. There is better to come from him, and with games will come consistency. Let him play I say.

I would drop Hendrick before Brady. Hendrick played like he has been on the lash all week.
Hendrick never performs after an international break and should be rested in future, with Arfield filling his roll

96% forward passes, dude is trying to influence the game... He's bound to lose the ball/not pull it off. However, I would like to see a couple more assists there.
He's getting better, just lacks concentration at times.

Spot on. Also chance creation is much higher than anyone else in the team. I believe second highest is 4, he has 13

We get criticised if we attempt slow build up play to "GET IT FORWARD BURNLEY" then get criticised for players losing the ball trying to play adventurous passes- which is it going to be?

We either retain possession at times and pass it 'sideways' or we risk it, play it forward and lose the ball.... If all we did was play forward passes, get it forward and never gave the ball away then we'd either: win 10+ - 0 every game/the opposition goalkeeper would make 10+ saves every week/we'd have a ridiculous amount of chances off target every game...

It isn't a game of FIFA

Like the world class pass through to Wood for our equaliser against Spurs, or the world class cross field pass to Ward leading to our winner against Everton, or the disguised slide-rule, defence splitting pass through to Wood which resulted in Hart bringing him down in the box?

I think all our Irish contingent were off the pace yesterday to varying degrees.

Wood looked ok after his epic journey to the other side of the world. As for Arfield it wasn't his type of game really.

Pity they scored through bad judgement but these things happen.

Definitely the most frustrating player for Burnley right now. I really want him to succeed because Burnley need a player like him and what he brings but, in a team that's consistently greater than the sum of its parts he stands out as the one player who isn't pulling his weight.
Obviously there's a good player in there but there's too many sloppy passes and unnecessary mistakes. I'm a bit surprised he gets away with it in a team managed by Sean Dyche.
He needs a rocket up his a**e! I think a period starting on the bench would do him some good and make him realise he needs to do something to earn that shirt!

I agree there is a good player in there but I think he is definitely pulling his weight. He tries really hard and is defensively improving and has created 4 times as many chances as any other Burnley player. I don't know if we can afford starting him on the bench, who else would create those chances. Anyway, a run in the team could bring the consistency he is lacking. I understand that if he was consistently as brilliant as he sometimes is he would be playing for a bigger club. But he can definitely improve his short passing quite a lot before he is the next Ronaldo!

That pass to Ward vs Everton was what we were lacking away last season. Saw it early and put them under pressure. Admittedly if it doesn't come off it gets a jeer from the crowd but he does have decent vision and confidence to hit passes like that.

Despite the inconsistency he'll pay back his price tag, for sure.

He won't be dropped and nor should he be. We'll get nowhere (in terms of scoring goals) without a player trying the stuff Brady tries. He isn't De Bruyne, a small amount of what he tries will come off, most of it won't, when it doesn't he works hard to get the ball back, you can't ask for much more.

He's given the ball away in bad areas with some poor short passes in previous games and we paid a fair bit for him, some fans have got the blinkers on now and are picking him out for criticism now regardless of whether he's been effective or not. It'll be like this every game he doesn't score or get an assist.

He's at the heart of nearly every good move we make - some of it doesn't come off - some of it does. Many of our goals this season have come from when it does come off

So let's drop him - and that Wood bloke, sometimes he doesn't score from his headers, Mee and Tarka don't win every header and as for Defour bloke, he misplaced a pass yesterday. So let's drop the lot of them.

I think that Gudmondsson might get the nod against City based purely on his better defensive work and ball retention. Personally I would like them both on the pitch at the same time to give us a real threat from both flanks.

I think the left wing is Brady's for now and arfield and Gudmundsson will fight for the other side. I would like to see Brady and Gudmundsson start for counter attacking threat. I don't understand the better defensive work comment because Brady has been excellent defensively this year. He gives the ball away sometimes, but if he never gave the ball away fans would be getting angry at him for a negative, back and sideways approach.

I am still amazed that Brady is not being tried behind Wood. This would give him a freer role and he would be able to take more risks. This is of course until we sign a proper nr 10 (This is NOT) Wells.

Brady or Gudmundsson (who has experience there) could be great at No 10. Wells is not a number 10 at all. He is a pacey stricker who can play wide. I'd have Gudmundsson at 10 because he is (other than last game) not as effective as Brady on the right hand side where he cuts back all of the time and probably doesn't get back as well. Against a team like City next weekend we could play 4411 with the 1 behind the stricker rotating and being able to roam.

No.
He's one of our best players.
He has vision and initiative and plays some excellent long passes...any free kick within 30 yards has a fair chance of smacking the net...who else will do the creating? He played a big game in midweek...

Take a look at the PL table.
We have lost one match..that was 0-1.

- seems like some Burnley fans always need a player to moan about..there have been many of them, most recently Jones then Boyd...now it looks like it's Brady's turn ( sometimes Lowton or the Iceland lad)...pack the groaning in and support the eleven on the pitch...it's not complicated.

He has vision and initiative and plays some excellent long passes...any free kick within 30 yards has a fair chance of smacking the net...who else will do the creating? He played a big game in midweek...

Take a look at the PL table.
We have lost one match..that was 0-1.

- seems like some Burnley fans always need a player to moan about..there have been many of them, most recently Jones then Boyd...now it looks like it's Brady's turn ( sometimes Lowton or the Iceland lad)...pack the groaning in and support the eleven on the pitch...it's not complicated.
Spot on. A player like Brady does well with confidence and when the crowd groan at him he won't have as much.

Flatters to deceive for me, yes does have the odd moment of magic but gives the ball away far too cheaply and often, was very poor imo on Saturday and needs to redeem himself against city, to be honest I'm still puzzled why arfield was off and Brady stayed on on Saturday arfield has been one of our best performers so far this season and he's likely to pop up with a goal which we needed Saturday.

Robbie Brady is a game changer as is Johann.We play one on the left ,Robbie and one on the right Johann.
Two up front and we can terrorise most teams.
Why on earth Robbie gets a right wing spot is beyond me.
Drop him .a crazy idea.Who would you pick.Scott Arfield or even stranger Sean Marney?

True. Especially as we play a 5 man midfield we can defensively afford attacking wingers.

Brady is that annoyingly good kid at school you used to play with, doesn't take the game very seriously, costs you points but capable of bits of magic where you can't help but awe at his ability.

He is basically the opposite of Arfield.

Whilst I agree its frustrating that he has a lack of concentration sometimes, you can't not have him in the team just because he is a game changer.

We have kept far poorer players in our team over the years for worse reasons, not to mention he is our set piece taker.

The team will practice set pieces in training, including different preset variations and balls in the box. Its absolutely integral for that alone that you keep with the same taker if you can.
