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...

You can't say that - I agree with you though

I am just waiting for the ref line up if we have a chance of staying up against forest , will be dodgy as heck. Don’t think they’ll need it though they’ve done us in already enough this season.

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 ...

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....

Given his calamitous record with last summer's signings why would anyone want Kompany as Director of football
I don't want more of the same this summer

We could always recommend him to the Venkys

Superjohnnyfrancis

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. As the game has progressed more detail/time/en...

“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.

Superjohnnyfrancis

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 ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

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? The DOF usually chooses a lot of the players and the manager themselves in some setups. So the team manager ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

Just get a manager who plays strikers up front and midfielders in midfield and wingers on the wing.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Statistically we concede over 2 goals a game . If that doesn't show we have an issue at the back I don't know what does. You could try removing goals scored with a right foot next time- might make the stats look better eh? Statistically we let in 2.21 goals per game with Trafford in the nets after ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

The problem would be attracting a better manager in the championship. If we can, change it before the new season. If we can’t find better stay with him for now. We can’t afford anymore cock ups in the transfer market ( this season has been ridiculous for that) so this should come up in this seasons ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

I’m ambivalent about him going I thought he had turned a corner admitting he got the keeper wrong four games ago so I gave him credit for that although too late. Now he has started tinkering with players out of position again for no gain. Foster being the most obvious one. At wolves he can’t see Fof...

Superjohnnyfrancis

I don't even think it's a lack of fight or desire. I think it's a pure lack of pragmatism in key moments. A silly foul, a hospital pass, trying to be too cute in our own third etc. I can't say I see a lack of effort in anyone Too much passing around opposition box ( at least its not at the back now...

No excuse for that
It’s so simple -
Play wingers on the wing
Play attackers centrally
Play Benson

Bloody tinker man has lost the plot. I thought when Muric was put back in he’d keep a settled team and lineup. How wrong I was.

Really over thinking obvious things now.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Why is he playing foster on the right wing all of a sudden just doesn’t work.

Fofana was rubbish against wolves just put Lyle central and get benson on. Seems obvious to many!

All depends what they are looking for… fair games or keeping the Fergie and Klopps’ and money men of this world happy

If I was Pace I would be having a pi covering England the way he has given decisions against us this year it wouldn’t surprise me if he was found to be taking bribes.

Superjohnnyfrancis

It takes quite a few years to move through the leagues as a referee…. Why most referees have never played the game to any decent level. That seems the problem. Why would a decent ref need to do that? They are crying out for good ones looking at the likes of Rob Jones already working in the prem. Th...

The thing I'm worried about most is the fact I'm 99% sure we'll keep Trafford which means Muric will probably want out. We're not going to keep Trafford and keep playing Muric. I'd like to see us offload Trafford but it's not going to happen. If we can get anywhere near our money back we should sel...

I think Muric is in the shop window now to then be sold in the summer.

We will really struggle if we don’t keep Muric even in the championship.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Were this deep into the season and VK is still making bizarre changes to the side, needs to stop putting square pegs in round holes. Foster at right wing and Berge at centre back the latest ones. Jay Rod is finished at this level also, weve no decent subs up front. If Fofana is misfiring put another...

I thought this thread was going to be about our attempt on an empty net and would a goal have been given. It would have been natural justice if it had.

That would have been ideal and why was Sa miles out of his net?

Superjohnnyfrancis

Is it not the case that once the ref blew for the free kick that is it? You can not use VAR because VAR is only used for penalties, offsides leading to a goal red cards, and fouls taking place in the active lead up to a goal. Once the ref incorrectly blows for the foul that is the end of that phase...

Superjohnnyfrancis

If VAR were even watching the game should have told the ref you gave an incorrect free kick meaning no goal. I believe thats what the delay was about as they stuffed up again, lucky for them it wasnt in a really big teams game. Most common sense thing would have been to disallow goal due to no foul ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

Nothing VAR could do. The delay would presumably be looking for offside. The problem is that refs are taught to give free kicks essentially whenever a PL player asks for one, unless they are certain there was no foul. If a player falls over, and they aren't sure, they will give the free kick. Absol...

I stopped being lazy and checked, and it was Hooper. Hooper and the VAR ref were dropped from the next few matches as a result. I won't be holding my breath waiting for England to get dropped. If he just so happens to referee the last game at forest you know we’ve been had. Any lip readers for what...

I might be wrong but was it he who screwed Wolves over at OT? I don’t know about that one but I really hope someone from the club is keeping an eye on him when he officiates us next. Be that on the field or in VAR . It’s becoming very coincidental that he is making these game changing mistakes agai...

And some on here argued at the time it was a definite handball and the correct decision.

I think if he plays all season we are comfortably out of the reckoning for a bottom 3 place. It’s a huge what if.

All of our own making

If he’d have played all season we’d have been nowhere near the bottom three. Huge error from Kompany, I’d rather keep Muric if push comes to shove.

Superjohnnyfrancis

This guy was lucky to survive his Liverpool error earlier in the season. Should be nowhere near the refs position moving forward. Got to be the weakest penalty I have seen for many a year. Touching someone’s shoulder shouldn’t make them fall down like that. Why didn’t var intervene? ( because their ...

Superjohnnyfrancis

He took an action man to his personal trainer and this is the result.

Superjohnnyfrancis

Get the feeling he doesn’t want to do anything apart from shoot on goal so this stat doesn’t surprise me.

Don’t think he fits in with the team formation at all. Needs everything passing to him for tap ins.

Doesn’t make runs and doesn’t track back. Wouldn’t get a game under Dyche

Superjohnnyfrancis

Can’t remember a lazier player for us

Scored some decent goals but doesn’t put a shift in

Superjohnnyfrancis

Could do with a full week of just catching crosses in SGP getting jostled by England defenders.

Can only help his development.

But if he is the second best keeper in English football right now we are in trouble should Pickford get injured as he’s not much cop either.

Shouldn't make a difference, it's not like he was competing with Muric for an England place.

Just stick with the keeper that had a blinder last game. Pretty easy decision even for tinker man.

Superjohnnyfrancis

It will be a good experience for JT but Southgate has form for playing completely out of form players like Maguire and Henderson so nothing to see here. It might actually back fire on BFC if they have to pay an extra £4m in add ons if he somehow gets on the pitch. It might help us break even if we s...

It's normal tax rules. If you make a contract to supply any service, the taxable income is based on when the service is provided, not when you raise the invoice or get the cash.

That sounds like a nightmare for the club to administer, fair play
