Didn't like him before and that didn't help to change my mind.
He sounds exasperated, voice rising with panic.

There must be a simpler way of making the points he was trying to get across. I saw no connection between him and the players, and certainly not motivating. Wondered what it was like in that dressing room when Liverpool tonked them 9-0

How did that weapon work out for us last season?
Were we blessed with pace last season? Koleosho showed signs of it occasionally along with Odobert but both are young and had no concept of how and when to make use of it. Other than that we were quite pedestrian in our style and approach. Running quickly down blind alleys or running quickly into the opposition to be dispossessed is not making good use of an asset. But then you already know this and are probably just looking for verbal confrontation and I'm definetly not.

Yes Blake played wide left quite a lot, why does it have to be similar?
I'd pick him over any of the wingers we've got because he's got quality end product

Which of our current wingers are better now than Robbie Blake was when we was in the premier league under Coyle?
Tresor

Koleosho with no end product?
Benson who's had minutes?
Zaroury who started a single game?
Odobert is the closest but very inconsistent.
Come on you tell me the player that's better and tell me why Mr.football knowledge

Love it when someone who knows naff all, suddenly becomes defensive.
What I find more annoying is the fact you genuinely believe you know what you're talking about.

Odobert played 10 every game towards the end of the season but that isn't the point of I was picking a team tomorrow for some to play out wide for a Burnley team id pick the Blake Burnley had over any of the wingers we had last season

By not giving me any reason I'll take that as one way of you telling me I am correct. Cheers

Moyes was on radio earlier days he wants a few months off work before even thinking about managing again, I guess that rules him out of a couple of jobs.
Think he would be perfect for a rebuild and to reduce the squad size.
Rob Edward’s might be a better option than Lampard or Parker. Could he be tempted by a bigger budget here and better players than Luton?

He played before you were born.
As a few others are TRYING to tell you - he was NOTHING like the wingers we have.
What will it take for you to understand this?

Not really because Bruun Larsson is an Hoffenheim player who won't be with us next season otherwise different story altogether
