That sums up why we never score a goal. We only pass it a lot. Yesterday, at least 3 Newcastle players were positioned to score, every time. We drop our centre forward deep for the next pass. It is rubbish! Also why Sergio Aguero was suddenly out of favour at Manchester City. Tell me about it. When...

Yes, when he returned to fitness he "expected" to be first choice.

Conjecture, Bill.

1 defeat in 8 I thought we’d turned a corner on this board, one loss and out come the fickle anti VK brigade again. Are we better than where Dyche left us? On the field? Financially? Squad strength? What is the actual question On the field, I’m not sure how a bloated squad of young assets can be de...

Again, this is a mixture of conjecture and fiction. Heaton demanded to be No1, when he wasn't allowed that he wanted out. and the Keane/Tarkowski model is what we should have pursued with certain other players.... Hendrick, who we let run down his contract, being the obvious one. Did Heaton "demand...

Just thinking about this a little more... Last time we went down we sold 4 players (Pope, Collins, McNeil, and Cornet) for a total fee of around £60m. The contracts of a few of our other high earners expired (Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Vydra) and that left us with a squad of players with the...

The reality is in a week or two’s time, the club will be in exactly the same position as VK found it - relegated from the PL.

Alan and his starry eyed colleagues, allowing Vincent free reign, naively thinking that every player he signs will bring the cash rolling in and us comfortable in the Premier League. Yep.

I would absolutely love to know how the manager has been allowed to assemble such a bloated, unbalanced, and underpowered squad. At a cost of well in excess of £100m as well. Does anybody hold the guy to account? As for who stays, I’d love to keep the lads we know will get sweat on their shirt, but ...

Muric 6 - made some good saves at the end to keep the score down, but distribution poor all game Assignon 6 - started brightly like most, but quickly defaulted to his erratic nature when the going got tough O'Shea 5 - a championship defender against premier league forwards. A struggle but didn't shi...

FCBurnley - what a total chump.

I’ve got a strong suggestion for you - get yourself a bloody life if you can’t handle this site being slower than normal for a few days. Jesus wept.

ksrclaret

Even allowing for Muric's two clangers, which were both absolutely honking and worse than any single mistake Trafford has made, Muric is still the better goalkeeper in every way and it isn't even close.

If we sold Muric, we'd need to bring in a new no 1, even for the Championship.

I would imagine every player is available for sale if the price is right.

Probably about right. With the amount of wasted money we've paid for players this season, we're going to have to sell a few you'd have thought.

ksrclaret

I'm a Beyer fan but if we could get a fee around the £15m mark I'd be open to seeing him go. O'Shea and Esteve have established a nice partnership that looks to have some longevity to it, and the goals against column has come down a bit over the last 8 games or so. I always note with the Beyer debat...

How's that young lad in front of him got a ticket in such a small allocation?
Obviously a UTD fan, not celebrating, looks well peed off.

Could it be that the young lad was just a bit distressed by having that thick scruffy thug bellowing stuff about dead Utd fans into his ear?

ksrclaret

Is this the new trendy thing? Video away fans and hope you catch something that you can put on the internet to provoke a reaction? Granted it's normally Liverpool fans that seem to do it, but just recently it seems to be every game. Of course it shouldn't happen and I don't agree with it, but how p...

Anyone else seen the videos doing the rounds on X and Tik Tock of the Burnley fan doing an airplane impression and then moving his hand across his neck?

Embarrassing for our club, more so that he’s a grown man!!

Yes.

It's absolutely shocking from a bloke who appears to be in his 40s/50s.

ksrclaret

I have no interest in your nit picking, I’d just like to see a little more support on here for VK and the team. 1 loss in 9, we are moving in the right direction after a difficult start finding our feet, we can still do it. Every time I log in here it’s negative whining non stop even when the teams...

ksrclaret

The lack of support for the manager and team on here is absolutely shocking, clear signs of improvement over the season, giving their all, just more than matched United at Old Trafford yet some just can’t wait to slag off VK, 1 loss in 8? Yet zero trust shown in his selections. It’s almost like som...

Foster up top and Gudmundsson wide right for me next week

Yep, either that or Odobert wide right with Brownhill coming in behind Foster.

Either way, just get Fofana back on the bench.

ksrclaret

At least we're playing like an actual men's football team these days and not a weak, timid U18s side like earlier in the season. Great to see these players playing with some actual character and balls over recent games. If we hadn't have spent 2/3s of the season playing with dogger selections and ta...

ksrclaret

It's also highly likely that Fofana's inclusion will mean that Foster has to play on the right wing again lol.

ksrclaret

It's always a good idea to change a winning team.

It's always an even better idea to bring in a bobbins centre forward like Fofana.

ksrclaret

QPR have been absolutely amazing so far in this game. They look like a seriously impressive team.

Whatever their new manager has done isn’t getting enough credit considering he took over from that awful Ainsworth.

I'm not surprised that Larsen's record for us shows 5 goals but 0 assists. Recently we've been using our wide players in a similar way to Brighton in that we attempt to circulate the ball around the middle of the pitch, with the centre forward dropping deep to help with this, and then we look to rel...

If anyone knows about the pitfalls on letting your children play on X, it’s definitely Alan Pace.

It’s absolutely about time clubs started being more forthright and vocal about some of the staggering decisions that are being made.

Everton absolutely stink. Even their set pieces are gash.

I'm looking forward to welcoming back both Koleosho and Beyer next season, assuming they both stay. Both were 2 of the top 4 performers according to the average player ratings.

ksrclaret

We played a 3 man midfield all of last season and it worked perfectly and for some reason we decided to go more attacking to show horn our more expensive signing in amdouni into the side. Such a season of ifs and buts, but it’s no coincidence we have become a better side with muric and Cullen in th...

Yeah sadly I'll be hoping for an Everton win tomorrow. If we've got even a slight chance of pulling this off, Forest will be the ones to hunt down.

ksrclaret

From TV unfortunately today. Not sure if these will count or not.

Muric 8
Assignon 8
O’Shea 7
Estève 6
Taylor 6
Vitinho 6
Berge 9
Cullen 7
Larsen 6
Odobert 6
Foster 6

Brownhill 7
Gudmundsson 8

The two subs were brilliant. Experience counts. Good win.

Yes he’s been very good since his return to the side. I thought he was very unfortunate to lose his place in the autumn because, although he had some poor games, he was a victim of the appalling system we were using where Cullen was basically a one-man midfield. He should have been reintroduced far ...

Would be brilliant if we could keep him next season.

With a spend of over £100m since VK has been here, so we should be challenging at the top end of the Championship. We certainly won’t be walking the league though unless the manager goes back to valuing experience and continuity. Another shambles of a summer overhaul and we won’t be near the top of ...

I think Wo Didi will be the closest to being correct.

ksrclaret

Why was it wrong? I think it was wrong because the players who ‘benefitted’ from the extra fitness and team building efforts, which I presume was the point, have barely featured and lots have left. VK must have known by then of his plans to turn the squad over as much as he did. The team hasn’t loo...

ksrclaret

No. I think Milltown’s original point appears to be that VK brought them back too early. Otherwise I don’t see the relevance to a fitness thread. To be honest I don’t remember much critism of it at the time. Easy in hindsight to add it to the growing list of things VK has done wrong. Well my mistak...
