Vim Fuego

Odobert might not have been at his best but 5s? He turned the game in our favour with the great run for the first goal, picking it up off the defence and running all the way up. I wish Berge would do this. He's capable. I didn't give him a 5. But to explain on behalf of others, he is so wasteful wi...

Overrated.

Muric is enormously talented. I pity you if you don't see it and cannot appreciate it

We also have Luke McNally out on loan

Last season would have been 'The Untouchables'

This season is more like 'Apocalypse Now'

(Although I was tempted to go 'For a Few Dollars More')

Vim Fuego

Spot on from the OP. This has been going on all season. No sure what Mr Kompany is thinking half the time with selections and then the subs. But it seems like over thinking is going on. That as well as trying shoehorn certain players in

Vim Fuego

A big NO !! Terrible blunder yesterday but it is a time to back Muric. He makes a massive difference to the way we play and should never have lost his place. He had blunders early last season and the more he played the better he got. Talent like this needs to be allowed to grow and this lad has a hi...

Kompany has had a shocker this season. So many strange and/or poor decisions. This relegation is on him. We had a great chance to consolidate at this level on the back of last season and we could not have got it more wrong in so many ways How can he not see things that to most of us are obvious ? He...

The Kompany signings were the ones that scored and kept us in the game. Think you’re basically saying Taylor did well when he came on and you don’t like Kompany? :D We actually started the game very well but I’ll give you that Amdouni shouldn’t have been starting. Like Kompany? It is all about him ...

Vim Fuego

It was very much a lifting away day. But it was the non-Kompany signings that saw the day out for us. And also the forced correction of his starting line up to steady us. What was he thinking in dropping Charlie Taylor just to put square peg Zeki Amdouni in a round hole ? Good report as always. Than...

Vim Fuego

Taylor was never fancied by Mr Kompany in The Championship and was completely ignored for the Left Back position. It is as if he only plays him there begrudgingly. Incredulous he was dropped this week and at the expense of accommodating the ineffective Amdouni. So only by circumstance was our left s...

Coming of age is premature. Our manager is still making mistakes. Like Not playing Charlie Taylor today. Why? And like others have said, it was our more mature players that saw the game out today The goalkeeper decision has been pivotal to our season and it has been such a bad one Said it before. Bu...

He’s humiliating all the Trafford fans

Look mate, we all love Muric, but why can't you show a bit of class, like Muric himself has ?

Good preview We should go into this game with a bit of positivity after our last match and it might feel that the keeper swap is a pivotal moment to our chances of finishing this season on a high This Chelsea team is one that a Dyche team would have eaten alive.

£250£346= £96 in one year for one particular category though. Not very fair in my book. But it's what it is, we either take it or leave it.

We shouldn't just be rolling over and taking it though, right ? It is very wrong.

the European Messi.

Eh ??

And it isn't just the work rate. The lad has a touch yeah, but he makes poor decisions and costs us possession too many times. Too many dolly shots to answer the OP

Vim Fuego

I'm still really angry about this to be honest. Some established PL clubs with big fan bases can do things like this and get away with it (even though it's shameful), but it's suicide for a club like us in the long run. I remember going on under Cotterill on Tuesday nights wondering when and if we ...

Ball retention in key areas stat would be interesting. Am sure he has qualities, but so frustrating how he loses possession easily when we are trying to build play

If true then it's best they get their agents working on their exit. No point in hanging around where you don't want to be.

Given where we were a few seasons ago, this season has been awful. By our own recent standards, it has been rubbish So much wrong this season from the manager and the new owners.

Likely we go down or somehow we manage to stay up, either way it feels like we have turned a corner with Muric being brought back

Pivotal moment. Not only did it bring a win, but an air of calm has descended on this forum

And he really is great to watch

Vim Fuego

Can’t imagine what goes on in training ,you would assume they’red be 11 v 11 sometimes, obviously AM and JT on different sides and if Trafford sees Muric hitting 60 yds passes and playing quick passes you would have thought it would rub off on him.and surely the back room staff must realise there’s...

One superb ball to Fofana (?) in the left wing position in the second half was sublime, thought we had Ross Barkley in the nets for a moment.

Pulled three out of the net and up the tempo of Burnley’s performance.

Exactly this. The speed of his distribution just improves us so much.

He was fantastic today. Moved the ball quickly and accurately and a great one on one save to keep us in it. Commanded at crosses. We have so badly missed him. Put his body on the line too

Man of the match. What a lift he has given us all

Vim Fuego

Alot of our recruitment has been a disaster apart from loans

Including Tresor, we will be lucky to get our money back

Not only that, the 'pull' of VK has been damaged by the way he has treated players. The way he uses then discards is all a bit worrying for future squad morale

Vim Fuego

Muric apparently blew up at Kompany in training a good few months back. That probably just reinforced Kompany's thoughts about him not being the right man. Trafford is shite but the simplest explanation is that Kompany sees him being here for a good few years so this trial by fi....utter catastroph...
