One of the best buys last summer if you ask me. Watch him flourish after adapting to English football

Belgianclaret

Why was he so unpopular in Burnley? Didn’t do such a bad job in view of the circumstances, no?

Not make that throw would have prevented it. We should be calm and relaxed when it's 0-0 vs Tottenham. Let them rush things and make daft mistakes. Yeah, but such viewpoint is subject to so many what-ifs. What if Amdouny - who attempted to play the ball between the legs - actually controls the ball...

Belgianclaret

No doubt we have two capable keepers, and Muric is certainly one if you ask me. The agility of Trafford might be slightly better, but the presence of Muric in his own box has improved a lot and for me he is the better goalie in that area. Muric also made a very good save early on, and I'm sure neith...

Belgianclaret

We still need at least two tough defenders and a forward.
If Forster is out we’ve got no decent enough replacement

Belgianclaret

Not bad but certainly can do much better

Belgianclaret

Decent performance but to mark Jim with a 10 is quite over the top.
Does look better in central defence though.
O Shea also very good tonight

Belgianclaret

Some positive performances tonight, including Muric, OShea and Zaroury.
Playing Bruun Larsen up top is no solution however. VK should know by now

Belgianclaret

To be honest, I see the point.

The way darts is evolving, the players will need to be far fitter than they used to be.

Just look at the transformation of Humphries.

Good luck to the young lad tonight, but agree he will need a professional team around him get everything possible out of his talent.

Belgianclaret

Phil Jones - man mountain and free agent...

Belgianclaret

You must be barking mad to think we'd ever sign Udogie in the window

Belgianclaret

Great stuff. Williams had him for breakfast.
Arrogance punished

Belgianclaret

VK said in the documentary last season that buying Foster at the price they then paid would reap dividends as a player of similar ilk would cost plenty more in the PL.

How right he was.

Belgianclaret

Two strong defenders for me please.

If we can shore things up at the back we’re still in with a chance

I know we've been poor a lot, but I still think we've been unlucky to get this many points. Forest away, west ham at home, palace at home, this game. Probably others where 9 times out of 10 we take all 3 points or at least a draw

Agree, but once you’re down there it all goes against you

Yep, joint top, aren't they?

Doesn’t mean anything on today’s showing.

Belgianclaret

Foster was brilliant.

Lots of effort from the lads, once again robbed big time

Belgianclaret

Crap team Villa

Belgianclaret

Tresor anonymous again

Belgianclaret

Shambles

I hate the PL

Belgianclaret

Anything they can give against us they will.

Just a shame we gifted them the opportunity, falling prima Donna’s

Why’s he trapped the ball instead of punting it first time? Fs!!

Stupid 🫣

Belgianclaret

Lets see some genuine effort and quality now Mike

Belgianclaret

Brilliant finish by our best player. No chance of offside

Belgianclaret

Don’t want to single any player out, but positional play of Delcroix is worrying sometimes.
That being said, O Shea should have blocked the cross.

Not too far off, but margins still unfavourable to us

Belgianclaret

Interesting reading

Belgianclaret

Serial bottlers

Belgianclaret

There goes another prediction

Well done Brendan Dolan, terrific performance

Belgianclaret

Wright was on my level when he got dumped out first round. Thought the game earlier on today between Dolan and Mansell was the best of the tournament so far. Very evenly contested game and very good standard throughout. Hoping that there’s a shock in the tie between Dimitri Van den Bergh and Floria...

Belgianclaret

There’s no doubt he’s a very talented player who can slice open defences with a single pass.

There’s also no doubt he’s far off the level we can expect of him.

One of those players who’ll need more time to adapt. Doubt we’ll see him at his best this season, which is a shame under the circumstances.

Belgianclaret

Odobert impressive second half

Belgianclaret

JBG chance should have been taken.
Better second half but not enough

Belgianclaret

Subs stifled our attacking flow

Belgianclaret

We’re lucky there, but if we don’t change things asap (Tresor off a.o.) we’ll get stuffed

Belgianclaret

Just waiting to get punished, game over 🫣

Belgianclaret

Tresor disappointing again. Should offer far more than this.

Belgianclaret

Merry Christmas from a wet and dreary Belgium.

Best wishes to all clarets worldwide.

Just remember to stay positive, no matter what.

Best ref I’ve seen this season so far

Well done young lady

Belgianclaret

Let them go off on their Super League if they want to. Probably will be bought by the Arabs in a few years and played in the desert.

But maybe also a chance to resurrect a new football league outside UEFA

Belgianclaret

Loving every minute of it.

Great entertainment, and even the lower ranked players are doing well so far.

Shame about Mike "The Real Deal" though, but still more to come from him.

Finally a tussle between MVG, Humphries, Wright and Price though. They still appear to be on a different level to most.

I actually wrote 'one of our greatest managers' and that's exactly what he is for me. In my time Harry Potts is the only one who can even stand alongside him as a Burnley manager.

You did exactly that Tony.

To which I added the question of whether he is THE best manager is still up for debate

Belgianclaret

Nice article.
Agree that Dyche deserves a good reception before the game for his good work over a long period.
Whether he can be classed as the best ever Burnley manager is however up for debate.

Belgianclaret

Some interesting views on the AR substitution. I personally thought it was not a purely defensive one, but an attempt to relieve some of the pressure to get us further up the pitch. Obviously didn’t work out, but AR could and will no doubt do better in the future. As regards the remarks concerning o...

Shame about Everton, but Charlie is still a true warrior

without wanting to **** on the chips I genuinely thought Ramsay for JBG was a complete head scratcher

Please leave my chips alone Vegas

Kudos to the gaffer also today: selection, set up and substitutions spot on

The lads gave their all today, a performance to be proud of

Solid performance-

Belgianclaret

Watched the replay a few times. It is clear that Wolves were set up to pounce on such mistake. Our tactics to draw them so close to our goal by using g Trafford as a distributor is flawed. But O Shea should never have played such a lateral pass to Berge, who was clearly under pressure. Always play t...
