Not sure Broja was what we needed this summer. We haven't got time to wait 6 or 7 months for someone to get up to speed.

He’s not going to take 6 or 7 months. He missed pre-season not an actual season.

I'd say the same of Esteve, who obviously has a lot of credit in the bank after last season, but he doesn't look a top rate PL defender on the evidence so far.

To be fair, I think we can all see and agree that today was Esteve’s worst game in a Burnley shirt.

Does every criticism of a player mean they’re being scapegoated?

It appears Ekdal has been filed with Muric as one who can’t be critiqued.

Foshiznik

Ladies & Gentleman...........We have a Scapegoat! No not at all. I’ve never changed my view that he’s too slow and lacks the skillset to be a long term first choice in the premier league. To be fair he’s had a couple very good games this season but he’s also been helped by having Steve next to him....

Foshiznik

I think we’ve seen enough now to accept that Ekdal isn’t going to be a long term solution at Centre back if we want to stay in the premier league.

Foshiznik

Oh this is so much easier to watch than VK’s premier league season. Not always pretty but hard work and at least an idea of what to do goes a long way

Foshiznik

Giving them too much respect

Foshiznik

Uh oh… long afternoon awaits

Foshiznik

Pretty OKish start so far…

Foshiznik

I’d take a 1-0 loss now.

And Tyrone Mears

I thought it was UK law that brown sauce is for breakfast baps and ketchup was for hotdogs

Foshiznik

No one can tell me he offers less than most of our bench not to be included in our match day squad from now on

Foshiznik

The clue is in the title, (cricket club) , so anything else out of season is nothing they can take for granted, so will be impossible to plan for. Because like what's happened, changes have been made by the football club and it's got nothing to do with the cricket club, yet people like you think it...

Get it out to the left wing!

Foshiznik

Sonne continues to look like a make a wish participant

Foshiznik

Finally appear to have turned up a little bit… Only took 40+ minutes

Foshiznik

Second to absolutely everything and every player miles below their true level. Total disgrace from Parker, the guy has caught a bout of Dycheitis, sacking off the cups for no good reason. We only have 38 league games and Scott needs to take a long hard look at himself. At least put some strength on...

Foshiznik

Not even Magic Mike can turn this around on his own…

Foshiznik

The one time Edwards put in any sort of effort and we nearly equalise.

Foshiznik

Can hear the crowd getting agitated

Foshiznik

Thoroughly deserved. Only one team interested in being here tonight.

Foshiznik

Don't find the Tresor situation even mildly amusing tbh. At this point we've basically thrown £15 million in the bin There’s got to be something in the transfer, like a clause of something and he’s one league game away from triggering a large chunk of the money we bought him for. Would explain why ...

Foshiznik

At least this lack of possession and chances tonight will be good practice for the game at the weekend…

Foshiznik

No

1. Stream live VAR chatter live rather than just to the commentators
2. Give attackers benefit of the doubt with close offside calls
3. Make it mandatory for all pundits to know the full laws of the game via bar like exam before paying them to give “expert” opinion on the match

Foshiznik

The IFAB rule was brought in at the start of the 2024/25 season and in full is:- "Previously, an injured player who received medical attention on the field of play had to leave before the restart. This can be unfair if an opponent caused the injury as the offending team has a numerical advantage whe...

Inverted wing backs - Right/Left back moving into midfield Double Pivot - two players who sit in front of the defence to support them off the ball and then attack with them acting as the defender's first option for a pass. 1st/2nd/3rd phase of play - the newest invention created to make offsides mor...

We can only wish the lad a scintillating career in Claret and Blue and gkr his country

Is gkr the colour of the Gibraltar National Football Team? Is it a type of blue?

Foshiznik

Biggest issue they have is they have no attacking threat. No real quality on the wings or up top. Ferguson just doesn't look as good as his hype to me but might be their only hope.

“Is leaving”?

Didn’t he leave months ago?

IIRC he was released at the end of June as his contract expired and we decided not to re-sign him.

Sir Everett von Kinckleberry-Blanchflower III of Clivinger vs Royal Metropolitans 1886

Foshiznik

As a Buccaneers fan i was extremely excited coming into the season... Then the first game happened and I'm just hoping it was a bit of rustiness given it was too close for comfort.

Anyone fancy doing a UTC fantasy league? There are a few 16 team games we could use if completed before week 2 starts?

Foshiznik

The worst culprit is Morrisons. Heaven forbid you don't microwave and use the recommended oven cooking instructions, they fail to also advise that when taking it out of the oven, the plastic container will either soften to the point that its impossible to pick up without turning it inside out and th...

Foshiznik

it's not just about fitness. It's also about getting match sharpness, shaking off the rustiness and the much overlooked aspect of confidence.

Foshiznik

It's a solid 8 for me. Great business, would have been higher if we'd have shifted some out. It's strange how all the ALK critics go quiet when it's transfer season I've not. It's ok to be both happy with some aspects and unhappy with other aspects regarding the ownership. It's not a binary view.

Foshiznik

With their dependence on Van Dijk and Salah over the years and them now way into their twilight years, it was inevitable they'd need to spend.

Foshiznik

8/10

To get to 10/10 i would have needed to see a CJER replacement and a more prolific striker, in addition or just instead of Broja but am really, really happy with Hartman, Walker, Big Les, Dubravka, Big Choom and Luis signings.

Bristol have signed a young midfielder called Cotterell, is he Steve's son ?

Joel Cotterill has just signed for Bristol Rovers. Is that who you are talking about? If so he’s not related to Steve but he is the cousin of former Birmingham and Wales international player David Cotterill

Foshiznik

Why are Sunderland snapping up all the good strikers all of a sudden? Can’t we have one of them and they take Flemming?

Foshiznik

Ekdal too slow out to Fernandes. Literally watch him run onto the corner without going out to him.

Foshiznik

Fantastic pass and finish.

Foshiznik

Ekdal again ffs. He’s just not good enough for this level.

That first half has unlocked all the trauma from our premier league season under VK. I need to lie down in a dark room…

Foshiznik

Ekdal a foot behind Esteve for that Mbeumo chance.

Good to see VAR actually used well!

Cheeky £5m bid?

Just put in a WhatsApp group, has there ever been a better time to play man United at old Trafford? They might be a bit of a wounded animal but this has surely got to be one of the best time to play them in recent times. We should go there confident we can get a result. As you said keep it tight an...
