KRBFC

The real irony of your posting on the United game and how the back 5 is so bad & bizarre, is that game we started with a back 4, and as you say got torn apart… it was only after switching to a deeper 5-4-1 out of possession after around 35 min that we looked more solid and grew into the game, parti...

KRBFC

Saying we’ve been torn apart in every away game this season is inaccurate. The solid foundations last season have not been thrown away … we were the Man City in terms of resource's and squad quality …. Now we are the total opposite In this league We have been competitive in every game but like last...

KRBFC

Completely misunderstood Our season will rest on results against teams outside the top 6 or 7 We've played 2 of those teams, Sunderland and Forest...6pts available...we got 4......hence 4 from 6!! Continue that form against similar teams we're fine Spurs and Man United were 17th and 15th last seaso...

KRBFC

I can see that thought process but which sides have we played? The two games against clubs ******* in the same pond as us has seen us take four points, only concede one goal and score three ourselves. Just because Sunderland have had such a good start is out of our hands, we can only control the ga...

KRBFC

I think Parker is trying to do what he did last season-- Make a foundation that he can build off/evolve as we get to grips with the challenge. We've had 4 horrible fixtures in our first 6 games, it's no surprise to me that we've lined up defensively to try and stay in games, I don't really have an ...

KRBFC

There was me thinking he is playing an entirely new position, the manager has asked and doung a decent job of it. 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, putt...

KRBFC

So competitive that we won two home games all season and went down with a whimper while Kompany left us with an unacceptable, unbalanced squad and looking after himself. The vision was to get Kompany to a big club. I think we all saw the vision but, unlike you, we didn’t all misunderstand it. As Dy...

KRBFC

It’s his love in with Kompany - him & Pace You’re not wrong Tony, it’s no secret I saw the VK vision. I think many things went against us, the fact we got promoted with star loan players we couldn’t buy permanently, decisions cost us a lot, a horrific start, we played all season without a left back...

KRBFC

We’re currently leaking goals at an alarming rate away from home. 11 in 3 games.

I think we need to get back to basics and return to the solid foundations of last seasons system. This back 5 stuff is crap.

KRBFC

Easy to say we aren't as good as the Kompany side when you ignore the win and draw along with failing to mention 2 of the goals being last minute penalties from daft handballs. You might be right (although I highly doubt it) but lets at least be fair. Kompanys first 10 games were equally crap but i...

KRBFC

Also I don’t buy this better than Kompany stuff,

We lost 3-1 at Etihad under VK. 5-1 Parker.
Drew 1-1 at Old Trafford under VK, lost 3-2 Parker.
Lost at Spurs 2-1 under VK, lost 3-0 Parker.

Certain fans desperate to have a dig at Kompany.

KRBFC

Iv got to be honest, I don’t know what Parker is trying to do. We saw Hannibal right wing at Old Trafford. Brun Larsen at wing back. Walker centre half. Now we’ve got Laurent playing god knows where. I don’t know why we’ve seemingly switched from a back 4 that was so successful for us and had us so ...

KRBFC

Might have been better playing our first team in the cup and making 11 changes for City. 10000% agree, I know we probably wouldn’t have drawn Wrexham like Cardiff have but if we did, what an opportunity to get into a quarter final. We threw it all away to likely get our arse spanked away at City. B...

KRBFC

Bizarre how after his last cup winning performance he’s deemed not good enough to start for the second string. Parker said he would be loaned out after that Derby game, I assume the only reason Parker has hinted at the door being open is because he’s stuck with him, he’ll drag it out until January w...

KRBFC

Well we’ve just rested our entire starting side ahead of a trip to Man City and forfeited our spot in the cup to do so.

Let’s see if it was worth it, I suspect we’ll get beat at City regardless of the team we put out.

KRBFC

3 at the back can be very attacking - didn't make Brazil look defensive back in 2002, did it? For games like this when there's a gulf in quality, it's rarely to do with the tactics - people tried saying the same thing about United at Grimsby... What really happened is they were up for it and we wer...

KRBFC

Then you get onto the system, 5 defenders against League One dross at home. The team sat deep, parking the bus, pressing 1 at a time. Passing sideways and backwards. There’s absolutely no reason for Edwards, Broja and Flemming to ALL be behind the ball in their own half. No idea why we need Edwards ...

KRBFC

As for Broja, I think at least you can see some kind of talent there and the lack of sharpness/form/confidence/fitness is expected. Some of the others though…. Sonne and Worrall were so poor, Tuanzebe was all over the place defensively and couldn’t stay on his feet. Hannibal runs around a lot and fl...

KRBFC

You can add Worrall to that list too, £6m? He’s not even worth half of that.

KRBFC

5 at the back against League One shite? Very negative set up. Sonne and Worrall are tripe.

KRBFC

I like Marinakis, he’s a lunatic but he’s certainly put his money where his mouth is and he refuses to just allow Forest to be trampled on from the “bigger” clubs, biased officials, authorities and even media. Basically anyone who goes against Forest is the enemy and won’t be backed down to. I like ...

KRBFC

This is irrelevant because hands and arms (below the 't-shirt line) of players aren't considered when determining offside. I thought this was common knowledge? Right, we’ve determined the defenders shirt is ahead of the line, so how is it offside when Lyles shirt, hand and arm is ahead of the line?

KRBFC

The defenders sleeve is literally beyond the line

but the image they did broadcast showed the offside line on Foster's shoulder, and every part of the defender's body which is used to determine offsides was behind that line.

That isn’t true though

KRBFC

I’d be amazed if it was anywhere near that with sell on clauses, agents fees etc. Overall the point still stands that a club like Burnley cannot afford to make too many £15m (or thereabouts) mistakes. It’s not just the transfer fees either - all these players have big signing on fees and will also ...

KRBFC

You can sign and sell a player in the same Window but it is unlikely this side of La La land. So, I think it self evident that players sold in a windows won't have been bought in it. Like I say, Burnley fans can think it's a good idea to sell over Eur50 million of playing assets for £3 but the seri...

KRBFC

Yes but that doesn't fairly represent my post, which was not really about individual players or what auditors do but how do we recoup some of the Eur128 million we have spent this summer.. Amdouni, Tresor and Ramsey cost us in excess of Eur50 million not too mention Obafemi, Benson etc etc. We can ...

KRBFC

8.5/10 Has been an excellent window, really brought in an excellent balance of young talent and experienced heads. We look strong and powerful, exactly what you need in this league. I had absolutely no faith in us staying up through the summer, but Pace and co and have gone and made me think we mig...

KRBFC

I think the idea of the thread is pretty clear, it's regarding how people currently feel about the players we have brought in - not to judge it in 2 months time. Well it’s kind of hard because I assume we’ve signed players to stay in the league. Ultimately does it really matter though when we’ve go...

KRBFC

For me the only thing holding it back from being a solid window is an out and out goalscorer - we were short last year and I've not seen enough of Broja to see if he will fill that hole or not. Very pleased overall though. So who is the CJ Egan Riley replacement? Please answer seriously, Tuanzebe h...

KRBFC

We’ve made some good signings but we’re a proper centre half short and if we get relegated because of it then I’m not sure the rest of the additions really matter.

KRBFC

For the first goal we let 2 men just stand completely unmarked on the edge of our box yet still Casemiro had a free header from 4 yards out.

KRBFC

I like Hannibal but he’s not a 10, he was playing right wing today. The best thing about Hannibal is his work rate but today he wasn’t tracking back at all, just standing out wide. He hasn’t got the cute pass or goalscoring instinct to play as a 10. We saw that in the Championship. For me he’s a run...

Ahh we have a scapegoat!

It’s not scapegoating to point out facts, go and watch that second goal back it’s a long punt from their keeper. Proper schoolboy stuff from Walker and Ekdal

KRBFC

At the minute it feels like we’re over compensating for Ekdals lack of legs and it’s leading to far too many square pegs in round holes. Walkers not a centre half, Brun Larsens not a wing back and Hannibal isn’t a right winger. Dubravka Walker NEW Esteve Hartman Luis Ugochukwu Cullen NEW Foster Anth...

KRBFC

Crying out for a proper right sided centre half and a real quality attacking option.

That 2nd goal today is just unforgivable from Ekdal.

It's a free kick out side of the box, he'd let go by the time he's inside. Same old story in this league.
'Clear and obvious' my arse.

Well he didn’t though, did he? The VAR still frame clearly shows Anthony continues to pull his shirt inside the area.

KRBFC

How can Foster not pass 5 yards ?

KRBFC

Whatever this use of Hannibal is, it’s not working at all. He’s offering us nothing at either end of the pitch and we’re wide open through the middle.

Started 4-4-2 then he’s changed it to the 5-4-1 after our early struggles

Space everywhere and we’ve no threat, every time they attack it’s like they’re on the counter attack

KRBFC

We’re absolutely all over the place here, what formation are we even playing and what is the plan? Why is Hannibal right wing?

KRBFC

The alternative is that Parker does/did want him but Tresor wants out. If Tresor has worked hard and been respectful about it, then it's easy to see why Parker would be complimentary and frame it as him needing game time. Rather than "we only want players who want to be here" Then come out and say ...

KRBFC

I still don’t understand the Tresor situation and it’s not helped at all by Parker talking about him the way he does. I remember Parker talking about facing him in Belgium etc I just don’t understand why you would loan him out for game time if you thought so highly of him? Surely he’d be an asset he...

I agree slightly with the overegging bit, he’s a decent squad cb with age on his side to develop further. But his loan out was to get him playing again following injury and as we were stacked at cb we could afford to do that. I can imagine we will do same with Beyer eventually. Fun fact but the las...

KRBFC

There is an uncanny resemblance in playing style and he actually has the look of him. Rolls Royce of a player, unsurprising as the Swedish International CB. If he was fit last season CJER wouldn't have had a look in. I think you’re seriously over egging it here, let’s put it in context he’s had one...

He’s certainly a big powerful athletic lad

I still think we need an upgrade in that area though.
