Wouldn't be a great surprise if both managers "settled" for a draw, just like last season.

One of the dullest games I've ever been on. I'm not so sure someone would've guessed those were the two best sides in the league.

and doesn't make any of the off the ball runs Brownhill made to get into scoring positions

In the Championship.

Unless you only started watching Burnley last season, you'd know Brownhill isn't good enough for the Premier League.

Pickles

Humphrey’s or Worral need to be next to Steve Seen zero from Worrall to tell me he should be starting for us in the league below, never mind this one. He's a classic Sean Dyche "good in the dressing room" player. Unfortunately he's crap on the pitch. Cushy job if you can find it, lad's living the d...

In his best position on the right of a 3 where Parker used him a lot last season and he got 18 goals with 6 assists?

In the Championship.

Pickles

We miss him massively. He led our press even when not playing well and gave us a goal/assist threat. Could be wrong but I think we'd have stuck with the midfield 3 if he'd stayed as It suited him perfectly. The problem we have now is our best 3 midfielders are all defensive types. Hannibal is the c...

Be shocked if either get more than 5 goals this season.

Be shocked if they get five goals between them.

Pickles

We were winning the midfield battle in the last twenty, pressing them well and getting the ball in better areas - to me that's controlling the game, ok not complete domination but we were dictating the play. We weren't. We were better than we had been and started pressing something like we should'v...

Pickles

He'd be brill on the counter attack.

Pickles

Exactly We need to be 4-5-1, 4-3-3 when pressing Parkler sets up with the hope of snatching a point - even at home Being inadequate in both boxes will be our undoing - understandably as strikers especially cost a lot of money. But the one place we do have the players is in midfield. Cullen, Ugochuk...

Yeah, it did actually, we scored and started controlling the game.

At no point today did we control the game. At absolute best we're capable of stringing two or three passes together before losing it. That isn't controlling the game.

Pickles

It's glaringly obvious to me we need to play three central midfielders. I just don't know why we aren't doing.

Pickles

Can't expect to get anything from a game when you only turn up for ten minutes of it.

Pickles

Florentino Luis has swapped Lisbon and the Champions League for this. He could be playing in O Clássico later today but instead he's chasing shadows in the Birmingham drizzle. Looks miles better than anything else we have. The pull of the Premier League. No way should he be at Burnley.

Pickles

The story of the season seems to be that we're no where near good enough in either box. Which doesn't come as a huge surprise. Don't create enough chances. Miss far too many of the chances we do create. Too open at the back. We seem to be in games for a while but it's usually quite basic possession ...

No matter how shite Burnley get, I'll be grateful I'm not an Arsenal fan. They must have the highest prick ratio of any club in the country. So not them. Nor Chelsea or West Ham for similar reasons and they're only relevant because they're in London. Spurs are pretty harmless but a bit too much of a...

Pickles

I actually, weirdly, think he's a bit underrated. His name doesn't come up regularly in the Ballon D'Or conversations etc. Best striker in the world, would score goals in any team.

Never knew those Umbro kits were made by a Burnley lad. Looks a good exhibition.

Each case will be different & I agree regarding the pay offs that said I doubt it will be some sort of a ball for the dismissed managers constantly having to uproot their children especially if they are settled in school & having to sit exams & suchlike & having to explain to their partners that th...

Pickles

Don't blame him going to Chelsea whatsoever - money would've been astronomical and you never know if/when that opportunity comes up again. As for his time at West Ham, I honestly find it hard to believe that'll be too arsed about his dismissal. Similar to Dyche. The pay-off will be massive, he'll al...

The Adidas Burnley stuff is simply another level to anything else we've had.

I'd love the club to use that badge. Infinitely better than the rubbish it was replaced by.

Pickles

I like the look of those plans.

Pickles

I thought that too, but he set up the goal for Flemming, he created the pass of the night and Broje should have scored from it, and he nearly scored a very good goal. Lazy, never tackles or tracks but had more quality than anyone other than Hannibal and possibly Tresor who should have come on soone...

Pickles

Not worried about either. Broja will come good, I hope. In the meantime Foster and Flemming look sharper. Sonne is neither here nor there, our season isn't going to hinge on him.

I thoughts Edwards was the worst player on the pitch. Looked lazy and uninterested.

Pickles

Sloppy. Slow. Shite.

I'll admit to never being a professional footballer, I know crazy to believe. And I haven't watched/listened to the pod. But a grown man saying "You better be ready lads, because we're having it" to another grown man is very funny. Just can't imagine that happening seriously.

It’s not a position you can afford to train youngsters in for the benefit of big clubs and a few quid.

I see your point but it did benefit us with a record-breaking promotion and record-breaking sale.

Pickles

Can't say I'm that bothered. "We're Burnley, not Barcelona" has never been more apt than when we're in the Premier League. Small fish, big pond. I actually quite like how forgotten we are and us even just being in the league annoys people. Fact is, no-one's arsed about us and a show like MOTD simply...

Live? Alexis Sanchez. Although not necessarily a central striker I'm pretty sure he's the best player/best performance I've seen live. For Arsenal at the Turf. I can't remember if he even scored, but he was mesmeric and I'd never seen dribbling and general ball control like it. Other than the proper...

I think some are giving us less credit than we deserve. We took Man U at Old Trafford to the last second and gave Spurs a game in terms of chances. No reason why we can't do the same today in our own backyard and give them things to worry about. Foster could be key. Only problem with that is that L...

One which makes me cringe is "legacy fan" - just so cold and is indicative of the tiered systems we're seeing in terms of ticketing.

What's the difference between a 'number 8' and a 'number 10'?

Number ten is an attacking midfielder usually behind the striker. (Joe Cole should've/would've)
Number eight is a box-to-box. (Gerrard)
