Is that not an issue though? You get promoted with a solid framework where every players knows their job in the team. Now you do a 360 and start playing square pegs in round holes, putting players in new unfamiliar roles in a new league. I think Parker is trying to do what he did last season-- Make...

Then you'd be assuming wrong.

Then how did we "need" to beat them?

boyyanno

i don't think I'm over-reacting when I compare our result against a specific team to the result achieved by a team that we have beaten. I'm just suggesting that we need to wake up. Playing well and dropping points isn't good enough for us to stay up. I think your over reacting when you compare our ...

Well, the 10 more wins we are likely going to need, need to come from somewhere……… Why does that mean we needed to beat Forest? Out of the two fixtures we actually had a chance of getting something from we've taken 4 points- thats a good return. We could have and should have had more from some of t...

boyyanno

Well why not? We need to get a certain amount of points across a season- why did Forest have to be one of them? People are overreacting for no reason it seems. City, United, Liverpool and Spurs were always likely to be fixtures we got nothing in- The other two we have won one and drawn one I think ...

We're the only team to have beaten them, but look at the progress they have made.
Points on the board is what matters, we needed to beat Forest who have just lost to the only team we have beaten.
Wake up call, IMO.

Why did we need to beat Forest?

I think Ipswich should let them score from kick-off in a show of fair play when it's replayed.

Then beat them 5-1.

There’s comments on this (and other) threads that make you realise that people are just waiting for a bad result to pounce on Parker. It’s generally accepted that Parker and the squad have done well so far this season in spite of a tough set of opening fixtures. One poor performance from the reserv...

boyyanno

We have a big squad, and SP has to keep players happy and also see if anyone can play their way into the bench/starting positions. Nothing wrong with the selection tonight at all. I don't blame the selection so far, I think we've got more than enough to win the game, people are acting like we've pu...

boyyanno

That's about as bad as it gets in my opinion. 0 effort in that half, I'm expecting the manager to give them a rocket at half time. If we get at them we'll blow them away, It's amazing how much space there seems to be at this level compared to vs PL opposition, we just haven't looked interested in th...

I see both sides of this argument. A thorough investigation is paramount, but let's not pretend that for the last however many months Lawyers have had their heads in books, and lip reading experts have been exhausting every angle of the footage. The massive delay is purely about process, I think it'...

It's like VAR has ramped it up this year- shockingly bad so far.

There are a small number of posters on here who invent polarising views just to troll threads and cause friction.

One or two people have said they didn't find it that interesting, is that what we're classing as continuously slagging off the club these days and having an agenda?

100% a yellow
But I can't see that as a red in a million years

That's not frustration boiling over
That's not an attempt to injure another player
It's a genuine attempt to win the ball
It's just a bit late

I agree with that.

It's obviously possible to exploit as Newcastle are finding out:

Trafford was bought because he's English and home grown, he's a good keeper and he'll have an excellent career but he's a long way off being good enough for a team that can afford to have the best player in the world in every position right now.

boyyanno

Let's put it this way. I've watched 5 games recently: Burnley v Sunderland Fulham v Utd Newcastle v Liverpool Chelsea v Fulham Utd v Burnley The inconsistencies as to what is a foul and what isn't, what is a push, handball, careless etc, has MASSIVELY varied depending on the team in question.

VAR is so flawed in my opinion. I don't know why they keep up the pretence of having the referee look at the monitor after VAR tells him too, they told him today for example that it was sustained holding etc, then they only show the ref the specific stills and slow mo angles that back up the decisio...

Pathetic tbh. Dubravka was clear MOM and it wasn’t even close . Foster was at best 7/10 today and the +1 because he scored. We need better Foster has been one of our best players this season, right now he'd be one of my first names on the teamsheet. He's made a few people look very silly so far :lol:

boyyanno

VAR struggles when there is more than one thing going on at once I've noticed- it became all about was it a pull instead of was it also in the box.

boyyanno

It's outside of the box, it's corrupt.

boyyanno

How the hell is Foster getting pelters today?

He's had the ball about three times and each time successfully held it up/moved it on. We haven't played a pass near him for most of the game, what the heck is he supposed to do?

boyyanno

We've been crap and they've moved the ball too quickly for us today. That being said I hate the refs in this league, United score from a free kick that shouldn't have been given.

boyyanno

I wouldn't pay much attention to what the Benfica fans say, there is a begrudging acknowledgement that his defensive statistics are elite in both the Champs league and in Portugal, but they bemoan his ability on the ball, lack of progressive play etc. Someone said he had an awful pass rate at 86% wh...

Whilst I will be ever grateful to Sean Dyche for what he did for our club and the joy and pleasure he gave me and my son during his tenure.

Also reported on Sky that Parker saying Fanbase could help us stay up. Anyone know anything about him?

Won't show up in the cup on a Tuesday night unless it's against big opposition.

boyyanno

I was speaking to a few in the pub before the game who said exactly the same thing. The general perception of football messageboards is that they provide a minority with a platform to moan and a lot of fans avoid them as a result. I think it’s the same with anything though these days. Music, other ...

boyyanno

That's clearly an exaggeration and in the contect of JBL being available for £1.5m. But even so, at that point I don't recall anyone challenging that. He'd just been moved to the right after even Parker tired of giving him chances on left after 12 straight games there. At the time we signed him in ...

boyyanno

It was one game. It still was a variation of a back 5 and even then there were a couple of times in the first half where they broke on us with JBL upfield so Walker went out to the right there was a huge hole which Ekdal should have automatically plugged but didn't, he held central. Better teams ex...

boyyanno

A right wing back would be my top priority. I think we are fine at centre half, once Humphries is back in. New, Walker, Esteve, Humphries, Hartman looks like a pretty good back five to me, with plenty options for cover. After that it would be an extra defensive midfielder and potentially, depending...

At the reported £10m I really hope it's not an obligation, isn't worth a quarter of that.

boyyanno

Which bits specifically were wrong? So you're saying if Koleosho wasn't loaned out then Anthony couldn't have played yesterday? You predicted that the system wouldn't change across games and gameweeks- it did. You said if it did it wouldn't be successful- it was. You said we were multiple key posit...

boyyanno

Really great player for us, involved in pretty much everything positive that we do.

Recall someone saying he wasn't worth 2.5m, no rewards for guessing who.

boyyanno

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise that a single result changes everything. My bad. I guess yesterday's result means we haven't spent 10s of millions on wingers only to loan one out for nothing whilst subsidising his wages? Yesterday's performance and result was great. Doesn't change that, IMO, there ...

boyyanno

Thanks. You got there in the end, well done. 1) OK. I disagree that all that is missing, even in the magical world where all our players are fit, is a RWB. We also don't have a central CB for a back 3 and lack quality across two 10 roles. Also any system which requires Laurent to be anything more t...

boyyanno

They're getting worse comparatively to English sides. Don't get me wrong both clubs are still capable of pulling a result off against decent opposition but they wouldn't do it consistently over a season. It's always given them a false sense of where they rank in the football pyramid to be honest.

I know it's cynical but it just stinks to me of them wanting to drive people to the fan zone/club shop, wether the cricket club are also a consideration is possible I guess- but whatever the reason it's not to improve the match day experience.

Who's decision was it to move Koleosho to his weaker flank? Who's decision to drop him? Who's decision to not use him this season despite having shown he was more than capable of playing PL football the last time we were at this level? And who mentioned Bauress? Parker made the decisions that he th...

Anyone thinking Koleosho plays for us again or sells for what we would have got for him last summer if we loan him out this window is delusional. Why would he want to play for us again? Turn down a PL move him and as soon as he signs a new deal, swap him to his weaker side, bench him and then ship ...

So you've answered none of the questions there, just posted a bunch of platitudes which basically amount to "we've done what we've done, we're doing what we're doing and you shouldn't question it".

Nothing to do with the loss. I'm confused what point you're trying to make other than just anything I say is absolute rubbish.

Ahhh sorry Mattster, you're right: Parker and the club don't have a clue, there's been no joined up thinking by anyone as evidenced in our 100 percent loss record this season.

boyyanno

I’m first to call out Matt on their issue with Parker, however in their post they don’t actually mention Parker, he seems to say as a collective there isn’t a joined up thinking. I agree to, if we are going to be playing the system that we did against spurs then we don’t have the right profiles beh...

So nowhere then. Thanks for clearing that up. If anything I'm going after the recruitment team because Parker doesn't have players to make his chosen system work with pushing £20m spent on wingers when the chosen system doesn't use wingers. But clearly you're another who can't see past the name of ...
