Absolutely indefensible by Muric.

I could forgive his error last week because he normally sets up our attacks with his distribution, but he was utterly dreadful in all areas today.

No he wasn’t. He was good at catching corners

It wouldn't make any difference. Their agents, working in the background, would ensure their 'fees' were covered in the contract negotiations. It's shite, though. Those costs are mental. Agents who get paid by Premier League clubs should be subject to a 15% ‘tax’ that goes into a pot to be distribu...

roperclaret

So basically the big 5 have spent more on agents between them in the last year than every other football club in the country put together.

Around November last year, my voice changed and some words started to sound slurry. I had COVID and attributed it to that. The last couple of months it got worse and my breathing was affected. Anyway last week I finally got an appointment with my GP who sent me straight to A&E. 24 hours later (after...

Quite a lot. I wouldn't have anywhere near as much trust in an owner from overseas than I would a local honour simply because we don't know what their real motive is. We at least knew Garlick, John B and Barry Kilby would never have seen us go completely tits up. Foreign owners are an unknown quant...

He could have given away 4 goals very easily. I'm not sure that's in the instructions. He's got away with a hell of a lot this season.

I suppose somebody has to get the stick now Trafford isn’t playing.

roperclaret

Very nice of a moderator to post insults, really set the bar high. He’s been a very good footballer for us over the years, one of the best left backs I have seen play for us. It was pretty evident his level dropped significantly in Dyche’s final season and I haven’t seen much evidence this season h...

I must have been watching a different game. He was a passenger for most of it and then fluffed his lines when it mattered.

Shouldn’t be anywhere near a Premier League squad.

It’s funny what people only see what they want to see

From TV

Muric 9 - oh what could have been
Assignon 6 - both bookings were harsh.
Vitinho 6 - not a left back. Instrumental in our first equaliser
O’Shea 9 - Thought he was immense today
Esteve 8.
Cullen 8
Berge 8
JBL 7
Odobert 7
Foster 6
Amdouni 5

Taylor 8
Jay 7
JGB 6

Remember it well, my son is now 37 and still says they're the best bacon sandwiches he ever had ... run by an old boy called Derek, if I recall correctly !! " Tasty Taters " was the name of the shop, next to the butchers ...

Back in the early 90,s there was a butty shop in Rosegrove that did amazing bacon sausage and egg butties, proper butties where everything was cooked in a deep fat fryer and the bacon was crispy yet chewy at the same time. Heavenly.

roperclaret

I tend to agree really, the likes of Forest, Everton, Brentford and Palace really aren't that great. It amazes me that folk don’t see how the levels are getting better year on year. Every one of those teams are way better, and I mean WAY better than most of the teams we stayed up with under Dyche. ...

Totally agree and turning the player ratings into a farce

Farce is a bit strong Tony. If not for Muric we would have been 2-1 down at half time

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!!

What are you scoring him then DC?

Give over

Give over what? Yes we have been poor, but those 2 decisions have been accepted as being wrong

roperclaret

From TV

Muric 10 - oh how we have missed you.
Assignon - 8
O Shea - 6
Esteve - 7
Taylor - 8
Cullen - 8
Berge - 8
Odobert- 7 Needs to play on the left though. Never A 10 or 8
JBL - 8 (plus 1 for a quality pen)
Vitinho - 7
Fofana - 7 (plus 1 for goal, minus 2 for that shocking miss)

Would look so much better if we hadn’t had the points against Forest and Luton stolen from us by shocking VAR decisions

roperclaret

What we have been missing all season sadly

roperclaret

I think some of accountability, not all but certainly some, has to come down to the receiving player. In the first half I think it was Berger, needed to step in a yard to receive the ball. They seem to wait for the ball to come to feet, which gives the opposing forward the time and momentum to win ...

roperclaret

In all fairness, we looked much better today. Cullen makes us tick far better when he’s in that double pivot. What we really need though is somebody alongside him and Berge playing as the advanced midfielder. Oh and a keeper that doesn’t dilly dally on the ball. Much as Fofana has done OK so far, he...

Someone please tell me what he could have done better today. Decision making. He is too inexperienced. He is great when he doesn’t have to think. Makes wrong choices again and again when he has time. Not his fault as he is so young to be a first choice keeper in the premier league. Time to take him...

Benson to come on after 55 mins

I think VK got to caught up in the heavy cup defeats we suffered against the Manchester teams last year.

Muric
Assignon
O Shea
Al Dakhil (or Ekdal, or Beyer if fit)
Vitinho

Cork

Fofana
Bruun Larsen

Nearest team we could put out to last season.

Even if he is potted, who is going to get a tune out of this squad of gutless pretty boys that Kompany has spunked 100 million pounds on?

Chicken feed. Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City all spent more than that on one (1) player. That’s the world we’re unsuccessfully competing in right now

Or you could maybe look at him and think he’s got the skills a club like ours require.

He’s built a competitive team will relative peanuts and is out performing where his club should be.

Still won’t get promotion though

Team unity is shocking as well. The foul on Ramsey that led to serious injury was not responded to. How many teams have we had were that would slide? Barnes let's that slide? No. Mee? No. Carlisle?

No I have to agree, I thought Ramsey had a good game, he did the job he was asked which was to stop Robertson and with his honestly and looking for the one two from Amdouni has ended up on the end of a VAR shocker No he didn’t.
