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. This ...

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. All the fantastic results and away days, seeing my team compete in the Premier League and in European competition. However, there remains a part of me that was...

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.

If there was a locked gate how would the away fans leave? In all reality there's probably not going to much stopping people from going where they want to go I don't think he means a gate at the end of Omerod, does he not mean some form of barrier/separation between the end of the JH and the start o...

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.

I also hate the spin they put on this stuff.

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...

boyyanno

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". I'll number the questions for you this time, see if you can actually respond. 1)Are you saying the sq...

boyyanno

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. Are you saying the squad needs no further additions to use the 5-2-2-1 formation regularly? That the signings we've made are exactly what was needed (ie. more wingers when ...

Thanks for proving my point

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...

boyyanno

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 ...

We've lost 1 game and Mattster is back telling everyone Parker has lost the plot.

Talk about tiresome.

Penalty. A handball offence only occurs if the player deliberately moves their hand/arm towards the ball or if the arm’s position makes the body unnaturally bigger in that situation Tarks leant to his left to make deliberate contact with the ball. I disagree with that analysis. He actually looks li...

No idea on the length of contract he signed and i’m not question that he will have been a Burnley player for 3 years ish by the end of this season if still here, but he did 1 season on loan so by the end of this season he will have done 2 years of his contract not 3!

That's a fair point!

boyyanno

I’d rather see him gone permanently after a brilliant season than now, with his stock so low. Even if he had a brilliant season (big if), it would pretty much be negated by how little time he had left remaining on his contract with us and the fact that his long-term future clearly isn't here. I thi...

Was expecting Tresor to go somewhere. Hope he can get back to the player he was in Belgium. I don't expect to see him again. He signed a 4 year deal with us and if he goes out on loan this season he'll have been here for 3 of them without barely kicking a ball. Even if he does well he'll be coming ...

Probably right and it might take a while to find the right system and line up. Losing Brownhill has meant we can't play the system of last season. We could get away with it last year because Brownhill got 18 goals and a shed load of assists as well, otherwise we'd have had to change to a 4411 with ...

Just wanted to post a thread about Anthony, he took a lot of criticism in the early days under Parker and he could still do with improving his end product- but he's becoming a bit of a favourite of mine, I think he's a bit of an unsung hero. He seems to be involved in most of our good play, he deser...

We need to strengthen the team before we bring Edwards in. Uguchukwa would need to play and imo a more dynamic RWB.

We do need to try and find a way to accommodate him though, I think he'd have scored the one Hannibal messed up yesterday.

boyyanno

I thought Dubravka was fine yesterday, I think he'll turn out to be consistently okay without being exceptional.

Rovers have just lost their game in the 98th minute after being 1-0 up on the 90. A small ray of sunshine.

I think we'll find it very difficult today with this line-up, not that we wouldn't have anyway.

Hopefully the players selected can prove Parker right.

That handball decision was a shocker.
