Bar the bad goal we conceded I actually thought we had a very decent first half

Belgianclaret

We sometimes seem to be inviting them to press high up the pitch by holding the ball in our keeper’s feet. But one bad pass spells immediate danger

Belgianclaret

They waited for our mistake and punished it again.

We had our chances in first half and didn’t take them.

Second half disappointing.

Not too much in it, but we cannot afford to keep making the same mistakes

Belgianclaret

Bloody hell, down with cramp again 🫣

Belgianclaret

I like good footie but all that dilly dangling at the back is sometimes too much

Belgianclaret

Spot on NY

Belgianclaret

Come on lads, let’s go !

Belgianclaret

Always energetic and prepared to work hard for the team.
However sometimes rash in his decision making and often bad choices of positioning.
Good squad player though for the price paid

Belgianclaret

Suggested him when he played in Genk.
Still, Sheffield paid 25M for him so out of our price range then.

Belgianclaret

Glad to see Jayrod on the scoreboard - not too bad considering he was deemed to be finished

Common sense

A strange thing in the fickle industry of football nowadays

Belgianclaret

Barnes: loved him while he was here, now I’d love him to do well wherever he plays.
Gave us a good send of last season but age has caught up with him and now Championship is his maximum level

Belgianclaret

Dyche slipped back to the championship the first time of asking - so probably will VK.
It’s what happens thereafter that will count.
The squad under Dyche were much more robust and experienced, the one we have now much more talented but young and frail, but with a better sale on value

Belgianclaret

I wouldn’t sacrifice the VK playing style as yet. We’ve built our team to fit his principles just like we did last season. We could however do with a little ‘Dychism’ to close down games and shut up shop (f.eg. bringing on Eckdal). I use the word Dychism in the sense of prioritising results over sty...

Robbed again

Belgianclaret

Sticks out his back leg, definite penalty 🫣

Belgianclaret

Push them away Trafford, Grtz crowded again

Belgianclaret

Two sorts of VAR, one gif the top teams, one for us

Belgianclaret

Good opportunity to gain 2 points on both today

Belgianclaret

C O Y C !!

Belgianclaret

RIP, condolences to his family and friends

Belgianclaret

We definitely should sue them.

Another thing: points deduction -10 but goal difference stays the same. Should’ve been -5 for each three points docked

Belgianclaret

I've still got my Owen Coyle casio watch.
After only twelve hours the word 'legend' appeared on the screen

Belgianclaret

I see that Shelvey is playing in Turkey now. 31 years old, could still do a job in central midfield.

Belgianclaret

I’ll second that

Belgianclaret

Sums it up quite correctly

Belgianclaret

I agree, other than the mistake that led to Bournemouths second goal I think Vitinho has been the player to show some confidence to drive forward with the ball and try something, just needed to make better decisions and have better touches, sighs where there against Everton and palace. Today he was...

Belgianclaret

I’m no tactical genius but one again the opposition put a man in front of Trafford (Rice)…. We have no one protecting him? If our goalie would give anyone standing in his area a good shove before the corner kick or free kick is being taken and let the ref know they he’s being impeded, then surely t...

Super Scotty Arfield

Plenty of positives today for me.

Indeed, but obvious weak spot undid us again today

Belgianclaret

And another nearly dead player on the ground

Very nervy Arse

Used to enjoy their play, not anymore. Falling all over the place

Belgianclaret

Exactly the same again

Belgianclaret

Unbelievable, just put your knee between his ribs!

No presence whatsoever 🫣

Belgianclaret

We’re doing our best, sadly goal conceded again by lack of presence in our own box. Trafford should attack ball and not stand back. Trossard one of the smallest players on the pitch 🫣

Belgianclaret

Not expecting anything, but will be watching nevertheless

C-O-Y-C !!

Belgianclaret

Echo most of the above statements and all the best to Lyle. Put’s football into perspective, and hopefully a sign for some to be very careful in venting their frustration at our boys when things aren’t going well. Only those directly involved with the real and the players know what’s going on in the...

Condolences - R.I.P.

Belgianclaret

Fellaini is 35 and his body is knackered. Suffers 2-3 days of pain after each game.
I think he’ll retire, if not have a last short stint in Belgium

Belgianclaret

If you’re resigned to relegation: ok, but then at least get behind the lads

If you’re not: get behind the lads

Belgianclaret

Berge and JBG positives.
If we can put Koleosho a bit of space, he can do them damage.
Can’t keep giving away such presents though 🫣

Belgianclaret

They stole the game just like against us. Good that Fulham lost though

Belgianclaret

Great to have Beyer and O Shea back. Maybe JBG will have a more central role. Cork must be injured or I’ll, otherwise can’t see why he’s not at least on the bench. Big question marks on the selection of Vitinho though, he’s been our weakest link thus far this season. Finally, VK is sticking with Tra...

Belgianclaret

He is injured but that's an injury he's picked up at Norwich. I really do think his experience and leadership could have been invaluable this season. Agree about the need for experience and leadership, but I think the decision to let him go was the right one. Gave it all last season but even in the...

Talking about this today and I still think we might have been better keeping him for another year because of his experienced and his influence in the dressing room.

Is Barnes not injured at the moment? I may be mistaken, but I didn’t see his name on the team sheet the last few weeks

Magic

Belgianclaret

This is indeed a weak point which hasn't been properly addressed. I feared we would get done by this in the Everton game, and unfortunately it turned out like that... What struck me was that Tarkowski's was not marked by either Beyer or AAD but a player who was much smaller (can't remember who) - th...

Belgianclaret

Young manager who outperformed last season and again a very young (but talented) squad. Football philosophy of VK is purist and entertaining to watch (football under SD was more realistic but very boring at times). As I said at the very start, VK will not sacrifice his style of play, so don’t expect...

ManU had two shots on goal tonight at home
