They should have just given it to Dyche. Clubs overthink things sometimes. He's a no brainer really.

Goliath

He played there under Kompany in the Champ and again in the Prem (albeit obviously not attacking ‘as’ much, but still chipped in with some goals). I’d say the main switch last season was him playing half the games as a second striker / shadow striker in Parker’s 4-4-2 / 4-2-4 that we deployed (when...

Never really played the same role in the Prem though tbf.

Exactly right. His best position is on the right of a 3 with freedom to get forward and wide. He only played that role last season and he excelled.

Enjoyed that. Steve seems like a top lad.

If you don’t love stuff like this, I really don’t know why you’re posting on a Burnley fan forum.

That's a really bizarre comment. I'm a Burnley fan because I'm from the town and support the club, not to watch our players go on a flat viewing

Goliath

Well that was riveting..

Goliath

I first spotted the limp on the day the fixtures came out and to be honest I was amazed that he got on the pitch in one of the behind closed doors friendlies. I’ve no idea what the injury was but it’s coming up to 21 months since he last played. It's really odd that people keep saying that we are s...

Goliath

Are people still trying to deny the limp. Incredible, he's clearly miles off the OP is correct

Goliath

Is there a possibility of additional.add ons or sell on clauses with these deals?

Goliath

Just show us it's offside. If you can't then it's onside

Goliath

He's clearly ruined the rest of his career. There's basically no chance of him.being a Premier league footballer anymore. I have no issue with it, that's just the facts that he'll have had to come to terms with himself

Goliath

Fair enough but it's a shame that players feel the need to ruin their careers like this. I thought last season was the only time he played in his best position for us and he really flourished. He had a chance to prove himself finally at the top level and he's thrown it away for money, but who can bl...

Goliath

I don’t think you will find many West Ham fans who’d agree with you. Here you go. It took me 2 minutes from a quick Google search: "I think he was a very astute signing who had been a versatile player off the back of a good season in a poor Burnley side. He started well with us with some very valua...

Goliath

He’s only started three PL games for West Ham in three years so I’m not sure there is any evidence of him playing well for them. They were also in Europe when he signed. He was making an impact when coming off the bench and he was doing well in Europe, I watched a few of the games at the time. He's...

Goliath

He did well at Wesy ham before injury and did well at Genoa, to the extent that they've resigned him.

One of the most underrated players we've ever had

Goliath

Why do they jump from.one extreme to the other. All stands open to closures of 3 sections around the ground.

Closing the upper tier of the Longside is daft. Just close the Jimmy Mac completely.

Goliath

Like I said. He would have been told what was happening. They’re looking at, at least 48 games. Both will get game time. People are just taking it as Pep has said to him he’s number 1, then signed another gk behind his back. Won’t have happened. Was Donnaruma even available when Trafford went. I se...

Goliath

I think theyll end up having to let him go. He left City because he wasn't playing, there's no way he's gone back to happily sit on the bench for a few years with the odd cup game thrown in. I read something about them expecting Trafford to gradually take over from Ederson but Ederson wanting to go ...

Goliath

'Work rate on and off the ball'

He's pushing it there a bit isn't he. I'd say he's right up there with the poorest work rates I've ever seen in a Burnley shirt...and I'm a fan of his!

Goliath

Isak did what he had to do. Newcastle are delusional and think they are one of the top clubs rather than a stepping stone, so he knew they'd make it difficult.

He wants and deserves to play at the very top and Newcastle were selfishly standing in the way.

Goliath

Noticed they were quite obviously trying to get him to comment on his conflicts with Souness as well as the Riise golf club incident even when it was obvious he didn't really feel the need to.go over them again. Anything for a few clicks

Goliath

The game I remember him most for was the first half away at Sheff Utd. As close to unplayable as I've seen at that level. All we did was just give him the ball and he absolutely tore them to shreds. I do think he's been under utilisednfor us since..even in the prem he could have been very useful as ...

Goliath

We need a creative midfielder, it either has to be Tresor or someone new.

Goliath

If Luis signs he would have 2 weeks to prove that he could take on Cullen’s role allowing the captain to adopt the attacking midfield role. Cullen is quick, creative, can tackle, anticipates and has proved he can finish. Surely not. Has Cullen ever played further forward? I can't see that at all. I...

Goliath

Tresor can't even make our stating team in our "second string 11" team utilised in the cups. After 30 minutes of football in 18 months I dont see how he be seen as our midfield saviour. Get him playing 90 minutes in 2 or 3 U-21 games and starting v Cardiff then I would re-appraise. Thats assuming h...

Goliath

The more I watch us the more I think there should be a spot for Tresor. Maybe not to start every week but we sometimes lack calmness and creativity in our passing which is what he has in abundance. He could have been really useful yesterday in helping getting us some control in midfield. AN attackin...

Goliath

He needs to become a box to box midfielder with end product. He has more ability than Brownhill had on the ball but his goal contribution numbers of really poor.

Goliath

Dubravka - 7 - kept us in it Walker - 5 Hartman - 4 - his defending for the 2nd goal is awful Esteve - 6 Ekdal - 5 - was superb last week but not this time. Has to do better for the 2nd goal JBL - 6 - great balls in for Hannibal and Lyle but he wants to check back way too much. Cullen - 6 Ugochukwu...

Goliath

I think by the end of the season we'll find that united have given some teams some proper wallopings. People are making the mistake of thinking this is last years United. They are a totally different outfit and were absolutely lightning at turning defence into attack, they had Cunha, mbuemo, Mount a...

Goliath

That doesn't make any sense. If we go off your logic, then we can loan or sell every other goalkeeper out as Dubravka might not get injured. And if he doesn't, we've just had Weiß and Hladký sat on the bench for nothing. That's not the same is it. Weib is a keeper and has just joined so needs time ...

If Estève is out for any reason then Humphreys is 100% taking his place. He’s a really good player.

And if he isn't? Then he's wasted a year of development sat on the bench.

I would. Extremely surprised.

He's young and needs game time at centre half. He's not going to get that with us at present.

Goliath

Frustratingly I think we are really missing Brownhill. Hannibal doesn't look ready for this level yet.

Brownhill offers the same pressing but has much more of a goal threat and creative output from that inside right role.

Tuanzebe and Humphreys are not match fit yet.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Humphreys go out on loan

Goliath

I think today confirmed we need a centre back. We looked shakes all game and had to bring Joe Worrall on at Old Trafford. Bit odd that he's ahead of Tuanzebe in the pecking order.

This one is interesting.

Genuinely, what's the possible justification for this one. I'm baffled

Goliath

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.

Goliath

That's up there with the worst halves I've seen from us in the Premier league. It could have been 3 or 4 very easily

Goliath

Anyone got a reliable stream? That was a nightmare

Goliath

I might be going against the grain here. But from what I see in my office, young people especially are much more aware of healthy choices and tend to eat a lot healthier at lunchtimes.

Super Tom will be in goals.

Madness that he hasn't been given a chance at all in the last 2 years.

Goliath

Henderson offers great leadership, an experienced head and he can still be useful in the pitch. I don't see the problem.
He was apparently excellent for Brentford last week.

Goliath

No Benson? Possibly on his way out?

Quite telling that as soon as he starts playing for a smaller club, he is instantly dropped

To be fair. I'd be surprised if he's ever picked again after his recent England performances.

Goliath

Also, Madueke, Bowen and Rashford should not be near an England squad. I'd have Grealish over all 3, he's the one suited to international football.

Goliath

I hate that the wingers are included as forwards not midfielders these days.

Goliath

I don't think the board would have been popular if they'd sold our best player in January when we were fighting to stay up

Goliath

But how would we guarantee playing time? He's surely competing with Ugochukwu, who we've just signed for a big fee and presumably has assurances over game time. He's not a swap for Cullen, doesn't have the same passing ability - completely different profile of player and he doesn't play as far forw...

I disagree , he was already marking a player and another Derby player who wasn’t marked and was already running at pace was able to nip in front of him.

Diving in like that was ridiculous and came from him not reading the game.

There is no way we are planning to let Worral leave. He was made captain last night and he had an excellent performance, much better than when he played against Preston. He will definitely by the main cover.

He cost us a goal with a woeful piece of anticipation and defending
