City are so 1 dimensional. Get it out wide, get to the goalline and play it into the heart of the box on the ground. RM brilliantly drilled to expect it. Congrats Ancelotti. No shots from outside the box, even though they scored 2 in Madrid, no crosses in the air all night, even though Haaland is 6...

We have been playing decent just put the players in the right places and we should get a win like against Brentford , why this need to change everything constantly? Hook or drop underperforming players ( Fofana) Dyche was pretty good at not changing things for the sake of it. Something VK needs to l...

It's from Thursday, but it sums up his delusion for me. Does he think we are thick? https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/i-cant-control-that-burnley-chief-vincent-kompany-disputes-perception-over-lyle-fosters-recent-role-4588228 I’m pretty sure I saw foster running down the right wing most...

So frustrating to watch it. If you make a decision to play a player out of position and it works, you're a genius. If it doesn't work at least you've tried. If it doesn't work and you keep doing it, with the same results, then you're either stupid or have gone mad. You’ve got to admire the consiste...

Head must be scrambled having to learn a different position to shoe horn the ineffective Fofana in.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Pass pass pass it round the back, get it forward but don’t shoot that would be silly.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Stole from X but this is brilliant Think that will be the last game for Muric, he makes way too many saves, catches it too often and has a presence as a goalkeeper. His good distribution, despite his risks and errors are the final straw for me. Get Trafford back in so we can go down properly. Bet V...

Superjohnnyfrancis

I’m a Burnley fan, not a Muric or Trafford fan, I want the starting goalkeeper to play well. It doesn’t matter who it is, errors like that will be called out for what they are. If Trafford made the same errors, I’d react the same way, he just didn’t. Indeed From what I can remember they are level o...

He did but don’t know what that has to do with the muric Trafford debate

Just saying if he scores that doubt Muric would be getting all the hate.

JBL also guilty of same thing.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Tbf I would argue he has actually personally lost us more points that he has contributed. He’s clearly not suitable for premier league football (not saying Trafford is either) Should have started season with Muric and dropped him around Christmas if he was crap. VK has got it arse backwards and we ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

One of the main reasons people said muric wasn’t starting was because he had only done it against championship clubs. He comes into the side and performances and results are instantly better and the goalposts change to ‘Muric needs to do it against top 7 clubs’ We wouldn’t of conceded first 2 goals...

Superjohnnyfrancis

Muric is the problem? Nope. Trafford is the problem? Nope. Plenty of problems about us at the moment, and to be honest, the goalkeeper position is the least of them. Foster was quite obviously not at the races today, and by a spectacular distance. Shame, because when he’s on it, he’s a menace to an...

Superjohnnyfrancis

Is Vigouroux any good , has anyone seen him play?

Superjohnnyfrancis

Best thing to do leave him in and you at least have a decent sample to judge him against Trafford . We’d have been down already with Trafford keeping his place.

At least we will know next time we get promoted that he can’t hack it at the top level if he continues to make errors.

Superjohnnyfrancis

I thought Muric was the man of the match

Yet it’s absolutely fine to crucify Trafford all season long…..

Muric has been a lot better than Trafford already and won us more points in fewer games.

Anyone clamouring for Trafford back in needs their head examining.

I didn’t see you get hysterical when Trafford was making all his errors.

Superjohnnyfrancis

That’s why you play Cork in the Muric role in front of the back four so any mistakes can be rectified by a full defence.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Asking the players to stop passing it into the net might help don’t you think?

Maybe they can watch it back on Monday and tell them.

Boot the ******* ball up the field!

Superjohnnyfrancis

One could argue we'd have at least 4 points from the last 2 games if he wasn't playing. I think the last two games have pretty much proven that we'd have been relegated with either keeper playing. And the frustrating thing is, if you remove the howlers from both keepers and a few from defenders, we...

Nonsense, points gained against bottom half teams and no matches in the sample against a top 6 team.

Everything is nonsense to you. What’s the solution then?

Superjohnnyfrancis

Just calm down let him play last couple of games and assess after that instead of crucifying people. He’s been loads better than Trafford already , we might need to get another keeper if we get back to prem so what. He’s saved us a few times also already. Putting anymore pressure on him isn’t going ...

Maybe or just look at the results since Muric came in.

That’s too obvious mate let’s burn the witch

Superjohnnyfrancis

Very happy with the points we’ve had from his games so far, if only he was in for the full season we wouldn’t be in the bottom three.

Superjohnnyfrancis

If he’d have come in at Christmas he wouldn’t be under the unbelievable pressure we are now under. Stop playing around at the back might be an idea but old habits die hard especially when it seems the management want the players to do that 90% of the time.

Superjohnnyfrancis

They question is do you want to lose or do you want to draw?

Superjohnnyfrancis

Anyway this is where we replicate Leicester before they won the league and go on a lung busting 5 game winning streak!

Just send an email to Vinny and ask him to play the players in the right positions. Stranger things have happened!

Superjohnnyfrancis

Two easy tap ins there should win 3-1, crap finishing again our downfall

Superjohnnyfrancis

I'm a Muric fan but his two errors in the last two games have been horrendous, Trafford (who I've been critical of) would have been slated for those mistakes. I think right now he's probably a better keeper than Trafford but ultimately he's made two mistakes way worse than anything we've seen this ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

Mistakes or not since Muric has come in we’ve won 6 points in five games. Over a season that averages out to 45.6 points , the cock up was not playing him from the start and the continuation of playing other players out of position or not playing them at all for reasons unknown. Bensons another one ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

Am I right in thinking he got off the murders because he didn’t push his hands into a pair of his own gloves properly?

Superjohnnyfrancis

How Benson hasn’t yet got into this team is just insane.

I'm sure VK reads this on a Friday night and thinks " I'm not going to let a mere fan pre-empt me on team selection" so therefore picks a team or formation that no one has mentioned.

Should do what Dyche did and read it , might get us back into Europe

Superjohnnyfrancis

Been saying that re Cork in the Alexander role for a while and agree re Benson, we`re going to need him next season so we need him to feel part of the team as I don`t believe he does at the moment and for me he is still a better attacking option than Larsen but Assignon would have to up his game. G...

Superjohnnyfrancis

To be fair to Jones, and far be it for me to be fair to him, he gave the goal at Forest but then had England telling him it was a clear deliberate handball before they showed him the still picture. Mee at Leeds, the penalty at Leeds and his lack of improvement since says everything about Jones. Eng...

Think Vinny could still do a job at centre back give O’Shea a rest.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Would actually start JBL on left and bring Odo on in his place when he tires.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Just play players in their correct positions is all I am asking …………….Muric Assignon O’Shea. Esteve. Taylor ….. ….. …… Cork Benson. Cullen. Berge. Odobert …………. …….. Foster Fofana has been poor last two games so unless he has a must play clause just put Lyle back where he should be. Cork and benson ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

So going off this we can expect Trafford in 75% of the championship games as well. Christ on a bike.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot , we have won the league in that.

Superjohnnyfrancis

If it is working successfully for virtually every other club, and in particular those smaller clubs who are upwardly mobile, is the better question not could Kompany cope with having a line manager, but why are we/he such an outlier that it couldn't work? Even Dyche now reports to a DoF at Everton....

In certain setups it can work extremely well and it's how the game is trending. Ragnick would've been perfect for United in that role but the powers that be didn't like that he wasn't a kiss arse - bloody knew his stuff about player recruitment though.

“Hey Vinny why are you playing Lyle on the right wing?”

You would have hoped one of his coaches would have challenged him on this by now, nevermind a dof.

I don't think that's accurate in terms of the modern role. The modern role us more about establishing the culture of the squad and ensuring managers are selected that fit that culture, and then acting as a point of challenge before players are brought in. It's not a job for a failed manager and it ...

What does a director of football do? If he is Kompany's boss, then he's just like any other director. If he's not Kompany's boss, then he isn't a director at all. What's the job description?
