Are we missing our number ONE $hithouse?

The "Little Minx" seems to have rubbed his shine off...B)

He was a decent player at that level BT ( championship).
But tbh he couldn’t trap a bag of sand and to be fair it’s caught up with him and he’s back playing championship football.
I can never understand why someone like him didn’t go on, I mean pace - yes - power - yes

Close control none - never improved in 3 years it’s tragic isn’t it , can only really kick
With one foot and yet they have all day every day to practice and improve.

When Supersub6 reads this I hope he gets his analysis/stats head on because minute for minute Barnes goal/game ratio is far better than Vydra's and additionally he leaves his mark all over our opponents.

Vydra spends more time on the deck with his arms in the air than Raheem Sterling and that's not the Burnley way.

How will a $hithouse, even a brick one, help a “turd that just won’t flush” mon ami? Are they skid marks he is leaving? You are driving me right round the bend.

I’m saying that because Dyche stunts any talent players have I think by insisting on defensive rigid formation.

He is not very good at passing either Army.One through ball in 58 PL games.

I would try something else ,of course on the training field first, take out Brownhill replace with Lawton , left side midfield. He seems to want to push upfield, and have a crack, a good shot at their goal? We have positions available in defence now, Collins , Roberts. I would try it.

I'd leave Lowton at right back, play Roberts instead of JBG, play Tarkowski in the role of holding midfielder and play Mee and Collins at centre back.

Pope
Lawton, Collins, Mee, Taylor,
Tarkowski, Westwood, Brownhill,
McNeil, Wood & Cornet and rip it!

BT --I think that you should review your team selection because it differs from your summary!

I think 2/3 seasons ago Barnes was a lot better than Vydra.. You have to go off today and not yesterday Cork was better than Brownhill, Bardsley was better than Lowton, Lennon better than Gundmunsson

4/5 of these players legs have long gone, unfortunately Barnes is in that category, been great players for the club. Nothing lasts for ever time for a decent clear out, some of these players haven't had a full game all season including cup games... waste of a wage in my eyes.

Honestly I don't remember my legs "going" until I got nearer to forty. After that I just kicked anything that moved! ;D

I reckon it's around 50 when the real decline starts, in my late 40s I could keep up with anything the younger end were doing in the Fire Brigade, when I retired at 55 they were running me ragged. :blue:

B T : If we look at the Burnley v's Brighton game. Lawton a defender??
For their first goal, Lawton and Maupay were together on the right wing in the 2nd half. Lawton was covering Maupay. As they approached Burnley's goal area, the ball was crossed from the right Maupay scored! Why ,how could he have scored? How??

Because Lawton only knew Maupay was somewhere behind him, Lawtons concentration was on the right wing and the ball at the feet of the Brighton player on the right. What he had to do was shield Maupay using his body keep him on Lawtons right side, so being unable to get a shot in. But Maupay scored ! That goal should never have been ,Lawton did not have a clue where Maupay was !!!! All Lawton had to do was keep Maupay from scoring. But he did not have a clue where ,or how Maupay was gaining on him. If he plays like this he is not suitable as a defender.

Watch them both after 1.14 . At that point Lawton has 2 yds on Maupay
