The wins against City do not reflect our true level we have seen that with the other results .I would be happy enough if we were beating all the sides well below us because at least I would feel its a starting point .Beating City was great but we saw last night it didn't give us any gee up we should have been buzzing last night instead reverted to type .

And if only Winks hadn't screwed up the diplomatic negotiation with Putin, we wouldn't have the Ukrainian crisis. What he was doing creating the Covid 19 virus beggars belief.
You still here?
We have struggled for years to break down teams that sit back; draws against teams like Swansea, West Brom, Sunderland in the two seasons we were good, come to mind. And that was when we had decent wing backs and Erickson and Dembele. Now we are weaker in those areas and in defence, so we get beat rather than draw.
Him and PEH are atrocious. Sooner you loons recognise this the better. We will win a few games with them around, and lose more
Get out wankers, your not wanted anymore
Exactly this.
Saturday was a blip in that it was a super performance and one we are capable of but no different now from other mid-table teams.
We have no consistency and that isn't just about talent but about so many things.
Investment in players is only one part of that fix.
Do we. Literally get a kid from the reserves. Hojbjerg, sess out too
No i dont rate Moura or Hojbjerg. I'd sell both in the summer if we can. Skipp i like but its his first full season. The 2 new signings have just shown up and its too early to judge. Romero seems decent but is obviously weak in the air. Our squad outside of the front 2 is no better than Wolves or Villa.
Last night - in the first half - Burnley did not sit back, they were all over us. But we still didnt score.
The worst thing is, I'm not even surprised we lost and played so shite. Bar a couple very short spells, we were just plain awful. After 30 odd mins, it was super easy to predict how that was gonna end.
Burnley were far more aggressive, far better organised, and they played some really good stuff. Tarks and Mee were very solid at the back, Roberts caused a lot of trouble when he ran at our defence, McNeil was excellent, and that Weghorst is a monster.
Just a totally unprofessional showing. Not the first one this season...and unfortunately not the last. We're not top 4, more like top 8-10. And that's because we have Kane & Hugo.
100%.
I mean, it was totally moronic some (most?) sequences. Lloris/Dier had to get it going, the Burnley press machine was already activated, it was utterly obvious we were gonna struggle hard to beat it...and yet we still tried. Fast forward a few seconds and Burnley had the ball and were dangerous. Aaaaannd repeat. Again. And again.
Our press on the other end was pathetic. Blind and amputated snails would've been able to play through it.
The boys just went in that game way too confident, saw themselves way too good after the City win. And didn't work hard. Classic stuff from that squad that's gotta be in the top 3 for weakest mentality and shittiest attitude.
Burnley made us look like a bottom half team. Whereas they looked way better than a team fighting relegation. And to be honest, they should be further up the league table than they are...at least 2 or 3 of their many draws should've been wins. And they were unlucky to lose some of their 9. Regardless, they were the better team and fully deserved their 3 pts.

I no longer LIKE this team.
Are you backing Wanks to find form and lead us to the CL?
Once more, knives out for Conte.
Idiotic in the extreme, given how ill fitting the group is to his needs, plus him openly saying the club adjusted it's position in the window (effectively writing off top 4 aims/expectations by not delivering his requisite framework).
Even in your state, you'd have produced more than Royal and Sess combined.
Speedy recovery, pal
