Unfortunately, they’ve plenty of games against sides as bad, if not worse, than they are. Forest, Brentford, Sheff United all at home and a trip to Luton too. They’ll pick up enough not to worry about us (or Luton) catching them.

We really, really shouldn’t be going down, this season.

If there was an investigation this season into match fixing at Burnley would any of us be surprised :lol: I can’t think of a worse Burnley team at this level firstly and secondly I think it’s a crime we aren’t able to stay up with how poor the bottom three are and Everton and Forests Points deducti...

Yet the experts on here wanted him in.

Hope they're happy.

It’s a tricky one. The good that he brings is not only great to watch, it also helps the team to progress play far better. The bad that he brings is really, really bad.

Muric doing his utmost to show why there were concerns about him at this level. From the sublime to the ridiculous.

I hadn’t heard Kompany’s comment about Foster being on the right.

The players heat map will show that comment to be absolute nonsense.

DCWat

Leeds lose, Rovers stay up - what’s not to like.

It gives us the chance of another double over them next season, and if there really was a football God, perhaps we could win the league against them (again) but this time send them down at the same time!

DCWat

JJ Watt mentioned in his recent interview that in the US agents fees are limited to 3% of the deal (I think that was the figure).

Surely football as a whole could put something similar in place and ensure that it was policed to ensure compliance.

Man City.

Better team, better squad, lots of experience of what it takes to get over the line and, like him or not, the best manager.

Or have I misunderstood and need to pick who I would prefer…?

In which case, Arsenal. Don’t like the Scousers, don’t like Man City and their bottomless pit.

It could work but the dof and manager would have to be exeptionally well aligned for it to. I can’t see Kompany ever being under someone’s else’s control or asking their input. His recent team selections are all over the place like when I couldn’t win on football manager or something. Randomly just...

“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. I’d have thought one of the coaches might have sorted out the defending of set pieces, or our ability to be effective from our own set pieces, o...

What Dyche did so well with us was to understand what he had available to him, identify and use those strengths to our advantage. Perhaps most of all, a positive result was the aim, sometimes at the expense of style. Despite countless errors in possession, week after week of defensive mistakes, down...

I remember us getting spanked by them in the FA Cup in the late 90s… never liked them.

I’m rubbish at remembering most games, but that one sticks in the memory, in a ...

Dyche always used to talk about percentages. Our approach to defending corners / set pieces, our readiness to give away possession from our own throw-ins, the lack of quality deliveries into the box (from a dead ball or in play) and I do wonder what the coaches are watching - we certainly don’t appe...

It might have been wiser to better manage the risk at the outset. Recruiting a balanced squad and ensuring that each position was adequately covered, in the summer, would have been a good starting point.

Didn’t watch but what a great point - with eleven it would have been mightily impressive, with ten (against twelve by the sound of things) it shows real character and fight.

It’s been a long time coming, but say it quietly, we might, just might, be giving ourselves a glimmer of hope.

Mollycoddled babies. Imagine it being Fergie or Clough.

Not sure, in this instance, that mollycoddled is right.

Back in Clough’s, and earlier in Ferguson’s career, this sort of thing might have been seen as just one of those things. These days, giving someone a slap, just shouldn’t happen.

Sounds like you are describing Blackpool and quite a few other former boom towns around the UK unfortunately. Yes, could be describing plenty of towns…. Sorry state of affairs in Bradford though, a large and once thriving City. It’s being put to shame by the likes of Halifax and even Huddersfield.

Well offer your opinion then. Do you think it's wise to take babies onto football matches. I can't think of 1 single benefit the baby will get out of it not at that age.

Foden, Bellingham, Saka in behind Kane.

Rice and Mainoo as holders.

Toney, Watkins as striker backups

Bowen, Rashford and Grealish as backups in behind.

Maddison, Gordon to miss out.

I’m from just above Bingley (BD16). If someone asks where I’m from, I’d still always say Bradford (plenty who I know would say Leeds). One of Bradford’s biggest issues is that too many of its residents, from the surrounding areas, are staying away from the City, and actually disassociating themselve...

Runs and runs does the lad - if we had the squad that we really wanted, he likely wouldn’t be starting, but his value is in his versatility and work rate.

What are you scoring him then DC?

Probably an 8.

Alongside the likes of Esteve and Cullen, who I thought were also very good today, without forgetting Vitinho’s excellent contribution (saving a likely goal at one end, which lead to the second).

Sort of expected the silly marks for Muric, but come on, let’s have some balance. He played well, we’ve missed what he brings, but 10’s, “out of this world”, give over!!

Awful performance - how he couldn’t see that it was a penalty, when it was right in front of him, I haven’t a clue. Useless throughout.

Whilst I'm all for the radical innovation of picking your strongest players and not fielding ones not up to the task, the timing of this is utterly baffling as others have said and if it comes off then it will be a doubly maddening kick in the balls to the fans by Kompany by making this change when...

I find the timing of bringing Muric in, baffling. I’d accepted that Kompany had set his stall out and was sticking by his decision to keep faith with Trafford. Unless there is another reason for Muric’s inclusion (Trafford suffering a knock or illness, which seems unlikely with him being on the benc...
