Often wonder if SD is watching the same game. I have watched numerous games for the past 60 odd years, and when a Burnley player is having a quiet first half its been very rare that person goes on to transforms the game unless you are a Robbie Blake, Dalglish or Vardy. I dont see why therefore, if Barnes is having a very quiet game (as was yesterday ) why he plays three quarters of the game. Not saying bringing Vydra on at half time would have changed the game, but it would have outfoxed Raffa and his back three. Instead we let them make the first move and bang, it could have been 5 quick goals. When you look at the great managers-I have seen Mourinho take two players off before the 35 minute mark and go on to trounce the opposition. I can remember Italy in the final of the World Cup taking off one of the players of the tournament at half time, going on to win the final. What motivation does it give Vydra who is quick and different to all our forwards when he only gets 10 or so minutes. He must surely start v Arsenal . or we play 5 in midfield

I know everyone is peed off with the final result last night but it could have easily been so different and as Dyche says it is fine margins.

If Woody had headed the cross from McNeill instead of ducking it and if the ref gave us the penalty we clearly should have had then it is a different game altogether.

We have definitely improved on performances this season we just need that little bit of extra whatever it is to go our way and all will be fine

I agree-however this "what if, what if" seems to come up every match-even against Liverpool. As Dyche once said we need to find ways to win, at times win ugly". If we rely on referees, scoring from missed chances and VAR then we are doomed. First and foremost we need to grind out some 0-0 results and hope we can score from a set piece, or a mistake

Most teams have moved on further than we have. Each season they do but we had a moratotium on incomings at one point.

- OK we have let slip three games when were in front.

- We don't score very ofetn and we do its often a defender who does.

- We are not as tight at the back than we used to be - due in some measure to the rest of the teams improving.

- We rarely if ever dominate midfield.

Having said that we will in all probability stay up this season. Hoping.

Well for a start there are 2 polar views which are ridiculous, those who slate everything we do and those who are so sensitive to a hint of criticism ( well deserved )

Where we are is a product of our methods over the past few years. It’s no surprise, our manager who is an excellent man manager and clearly has a plan/method to maximise our squad. The same man also has glaring deficiencies which have contributed to how we are, there is no trust in youth which for a club like us is not ideal. There is no tactical variation and our team/squad is full of aging warhorses. Dyche really has one method and that is shown with our poor recruitment record.

Our form is worrying, We need to get a grip and go on a bit of a run shortly before we are cut adrift. I just do not believe we have enough about us to claw back a points deficit this time.

Dyche would be silly not to sign a contract as there can’t be many suitors in the premier league for his services, however the end of this season may see it the best for both party’s to part company.

The word stale is very relavent for our team right now.

Why have 'lost' about 3000 supporters this season?

Can't beat the facts Bill, he didn't give Dyche a pot to **** in so we signed someone who was 31 years old. The minute he's given some brass he signs 3 players at 20, 24 and 25. Facts

How about these big money signings and big wage earners paid for by MG? Not many under 25s here. Facts, as you put it.
Vydra, Rodriguez, Gibson,Brownhill
Lennon, Hart,Crouch,

Is it really any wonder he stopped shelling out?

The Hun crossed out of the Sun.

if you watch the first Everton goal the strob-slip of the graphic and the explosive white light in contrast to the black of the night sky is akin also to being blinded by the light and the after shock of that.

If you're in a total black sapce and very quickly put a light switch on and off, there's an after-image.

If you stare and visual illusions, similar things happen.

There product advertising relation ship to the magnesium crackers carefully chosen to blitz the Burnley defence from the graphic command post, no doubt timed 50,000 milliseconds better than the mind can cope with.

For the second goal, Pope had enough time to ordinarily leap first to a better position to save the goal but he was dead of his feet, he'd been spammed, perhaps not even realizing the subliminal effect.

I think there's strong legal case there to have that match replayed.

The product and the blitz to the light show are not related at all.

There’s a “foe” button. Very useful until someone quotes him….
