Just out of interest, why are we below Newcastle?

Because they beat us this season.

Pope 8 Lowton 9 absolutely relentless Tarks 9 Mee 9 Taylor 8 Brady 6 his final ball was really poor Westwood 8 Brownhill 8 McNeil 9 he is top top quality. Will be at a top team next season Wood 6 ball just wouldn’t stick but effort can’t be faulted Barnes 10 inspirational performance. Pieters 9 spec...

Barnes man marked Thiago all game and Liverpool just collapsed as a result.

That was a truly tactical masterclass from Dyche.

Feel genuinely proud to be a Burnley fan. That might be my favourite Burnley result in the premier league

Newcastleclaret93

Brownhill looked like a rabbit in the headlights on his first sub appearance - training with the squad for a while gave us a very different proposition when he made his first start, it is a very different ball game and that is not questioning either Knight or Brownhill just what it is - the age of ...

Newcastleclaret93

Bearing in mind some of the benches we’ve put out (2 keepers etc), our regular injuries to two of our wingers and the fact Benson is on the bench each week, I think he’d be fine. Knight is one of the best young talents outside of the premier league. But certain Burnley fans don’t think he would eve...

Newcastleclaret93

Knight starts ahead of anyone in our midfield bar McNeil I guess you’ve seen a lot of him then to make that judgement. [/quote] Seen him play 4 full games the last time being the other night. Not a lot but in my opinion he has more technical ability than any of the players I mentioned. Reminds me o...

No point in bringing in any player who is not going to get picked this season for the starting eleven

Only might ? Thought that would be definite on here

Come on, surely you can see that the current two are just not working. Right now I would argue that any of our other strikers (possibly including some of youngsters) would offer us more going forward.

Dyche is definitely gone in the summer I reckon.

Honestly where do you think he is going? He is one of the best paid managers in the league with very little risk of losing his job.

Dyche is going knowhere

Newcastleclaret93

Derby really are up against the wall. Just seen that they have lost the legal case against Keogh. They now owe him 2m in wages.

Simple fact is that agents tout their clients for as long as possible so that deals are generally only completed at the latest possible moment, or when the agent feels an optimum offer is on the table. Can’t see why so many posters harp on about a lack of sincerity in the club’s approach or blame t...

I can't see how Nixon has any clue how much money the new board has allocated, they've been here for 2 weeks.

I’ve got no idea. I am assuming his contacts at the club have probably said no transfers are close because they don’t know if funds are available.

Nixon when asked if any transfer look likely:

Waiting to find out if there are any funds available

Marquee signing !

Hmm ?

Not sure what else you would call it.

Signing a top young talent for what will probably be our transfer record.

Newcastleclaret93

Rooney has confirmed the club are under a transfer embargo because they can’t afford to play the players.

I don't think Rooney would have taken the job if that was the case tbh

Your possibly right but things can change quickly.

Newcastleclaret93

Think the big thing to come out of the Derby game was the fact that the Middle East consortium appear to have backed out. Looks like there will be a fire sale there in the next 10 days

Newcastleclaret93

Didn't watch the Derby game tonight (too busy peeping from behind the sofa to watch WHU v WBA) Notice people saying he played wide but I believe his main position is cm Don't really see the point of going all out to sign him in this window when he is never going to get into the side If money is sti...

Just switched this game on to see him in action. Dreadful pitch!

Yea really surprised to see how poor the pitch is.

He had a great first half but Derby have got nearly everyone behind the ball now.

Newcastleclaret93

Jason Knight is having a great game against Bournemouth tonight.

Interestingly he’s playing out wide. Kind of reminds me of Defour with his passing and dribbling

Newcastleclaret93

Never understood this, the match day thread is full of people saying things like, "this is crap" and "we are awful to watch" yet they post the same week in week out on the threads and any other topic they can squeeze it in. Why not just turn the tv off, those who are desperate to be entertained can...

Permanent fee

A team still might be able to jump in on the deal but looks likely he’s on his way to Leverkusen for next to nothing.

Be interested to see of JK is in the Derby squad tonight

I suspect he will be starting and most likely captain. Don’t think anything is close from happening. Just Derby have said he is up for sale from what I gather

Newcastleclaret93

If you believe what social media says, Derby are very close to getting deducted points due to there poor financial position. If the points deduction goes ahead they are very likely to be relegated.

Also interesting that Derby are looking to sign ravel Morrison. Knights replacement?

Newcastleclaret93

Lancashire Telegraph has posted a story about the possibility of signing Jason Knight. Interestingly there source is Jason OConnor on Twitter.

Jason o Connor:Burnley fans worried about asking price of Knight, Same sort of deal can be achieved like Hendrick deal with Derby. More money upfront and add ons regarding success etc.

Genuinely really excited if we sign him. Top young talent.

Newcastleclaret93

In a 4-4-2, Westwood and Brownhill will NOT be released to go further forward. A CM will only be given licence to drive forward or operate further forward if we play with 3 in the middle. In a 4-4-2, it’s not the job of our midfield to do this. They are asked to screen the CB’s and break up play. I...

Newcastleclaret93

Hmmmmm 🤣🤣🤣 [/quote Your post is a bit pointless? I haven’t said we are going to be relegated I am merely sharing an interesting stat. In regards to where I made that comment it was to suggest that you were incorrect to say Brownhill was a top premier league midfielder because he had good intercepti...

Jason O'connor posted on twitter . Derby are now open to idea of selling Jason Knight to help ease their financial woes. Burnley hot alerted today!!

This is promising.

This guy is literally spot on when it comes to Irish players

Newcastleclaret93

Are people really suggesting that Brownhill isn’t good enough? He’s got the most interceptions in the league (6 more than Kante in second) and Whoscored have him rated as our 2nd best player this season behind Mee. Can’t find the stats for it but I’m sure I read the other week that he was right up ...

Another negative post

Another factual post

Newcastleclaret93

Only 7 other teams in premier league history have scored 9 goals after 17 games.

5 were relegated. 1 avoided relegation and the other is Sheffield this season that look destined for relegation.

Newcastleclaret93

As I said, I am struggling to get Brownhill at all and Westwood was poor yesterday. I’ve never been Cork’s biggest fan but I do think we’ve missed him. I also think we miss Hendrick but I’m not going to start that one again. I 100% agree about Brownhill. Not really sure what he offers the team at a...

Newcastleclaret93

You don’t understand how a 4-4-2 works. The onus isn’t on the midfield to create. We play the ball into the channels and try and win the flick ons and second balls. It’s our wingers who should be tasked to create. All the midfield two can do, especially when outnumbered, is hold the centre, try and...

Newcastleclaret93

You would see a lot more from Brownhill in a midfield 3. At the moment, he’s busting a gut to make up for that one man disadvantage. We’re not asking him to go forward, that’s not his role in a 2. We’re asking him to break up play, and he’s doing an excellent job. Our passing at tempo is poor, but ...

Newcastleclaret93

That’s a little harsh on Westwood and Brownhill. Both have been superb signings for us, and are often outnumbered 3-2 in the central areas. Brownhill is tasked to intercept and break up play, and Westwood to get the ball forward quickly from deep. Neither are asked to carry the ball, or create in t...

Newcastleclaret93

If the players we’re being linked with are our real targets (Kenny, Knight) I can’t see much point signing them now. No way either come straight on to our side. Lowton is playing well and “Premier League fit”, no way Kenny displaces him. Also no way Knight displaces Westwood/Brownhill (+ we have Co...

Newcastleclaret93

Pope
Lowton, Tarks, Mee, Taylor
Cork, Westwood
Gudmundsson, Brady, McNeil
Wood

Gets the best of out of our squad and would hopefully provide would with a bit more service.

But would happily swap Jay for a more liquid attack

Thought they were very poor to be honest

Got there goal and didn’t have to get out of second gear.

If they were a bit more clinical they would have scored 3/4

Newcastleclaret93

I was really quite impressed by West Ham today. Saw a couple of posts saying how good would a combined eleven be.

Pope
Coufal Tarks, Mee Taylor
Rice, Soucek
Bowen, Benrahma, McNeil
Antonio

That would be a pretty remarkable starting eleven.

Newcastleclaret93

Am I missing something? Ben Mee was literally the reason they scored. He made a clanger with the clearance.

Newcastleclaret93

This is as bad as it has been under Dyche. Interesting couple of weeks ahead. Will Pace stick to his word and back him

Newcastleclaret93

Folk on here keep going on about Wood and Barnes who are off the mark at the moment, but big question marks over Westwood and Brownhill who don't have the legs nor the ability to press This is absolutely spot on. I think we possibly have the worst CM pairing in the league. The disappointing thing i...

Newcastleclaret93

I'm not hyping anyone up but he is capable of joining up the play that's all for that formation. Ok I might have worded it wrong? What makes you think that? I have been posting the same thing for the past few weeks, he literally has the worst offensive stats of all of our midfielders. His strengths...

That formation - Brownhill in the centre where McNeil is and McNeil on the left and JBG/Brady on the right

I do not understand the hype surrounding Brownhill. He’s a good grafter but shows very little quality on the ball.

Newcastleclaret93

It's pointless keep banging on about this. We are where we are. We finished in the top half a few months ago without improving our starting eleven, as you put it, for 3 seasons How is it pointless? We are in a crap position now because of poor recruitment over a number of seasons. Garlick etc... ar...

The problem is we haven’t improved our starting eleven for 4 seasons.
