Re: Toffees vs Clarets Match Thread
Bombing out half the squad that worked, played & fought for each other last season and was so successful is the biggest issue I have. Yes it worked the first season, but it needed to be done then, To try and do the same again this season was just madness Yes, we've had far too much player turnover....

Re: Toffees vs Clarets Match Thread
Well didn't Luton actually sign a couple of players at the start of the season? They did with the object of strengthening the team (Ross Barkley for example),not as investments, which by the way hasn't really worked for us. We had a team in the making last season. Against Arssnal at home we had one...

It's more than a tad better than going in one down.
Their finishing is no better than ours, so we give them a goal.

Re: How many goals do we concede just before half time
I think you have got that pretty spot on. Take away our abysmal results this season, our discipline is the ultimate sign of sloppiness and you could even argue a lack of professionalism. I know it’s been done to death but all this points to VK being massively out of his depth at this level. The pla...

TBF, how many Championship clubs spend £8m on a full back?claretspice wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 10:21 pmEven if that is correct it is moot because we're not spending £8m on Assignon if we go down.
And it's very unlikely that Assignon would want to play 2nd tier football regardless of whether we would stump up that sort of fee.

Got to be honest, I've not seen much from Assignon that makes me think he's much if any better in either defence or attack than Vitinho.

Well that 4 games not being in the squad alongside the full previous season not playing him at left back gave a pretty good indication, along with twice not playing him for an inferior player during this season.
