Burnley v Liverpool

[Swissclaret]

Are there positives - from what I heard, Allison pulled off some good saves and kept Liverpool in the match. We did create some chances. We kept the second best team in the league down to 1 goal. Some were predicting 4! A draw would have been a bonus point.

Our recruitment is looking better with Roberts, Collins, Cornet and WW coming in.

Yes we go down this year, but Norwich and WBA have both shown that one does need billions to get promoted.

The team needs rebuilding with the ones passed their best moved on. Have we really missed Chris Wood? The Geordies are not seeing much return on their £25 million to date. We need to use our money wisely - reduce the wages bill by moving on the older, higher paid players, use those savings, plus the parachute payments to identify foreign players with more technical ability

To do what you suggest we therefore need a manager with both tactical and technical appreciation of abilities and the guts to apply them and enhance the viewing pleasure of what we pay to watch!

I agree DD. I am not 100% convinced by SD and the team. Klopp was fulsome in his praise of SD. Anyone sitting in second with riches at their disposal can be generous in their place.

I am a believer in continuity. However, many on here have questioned the team set up, the loyalty to certain players and the inability to change things on the pitch.

I have no idea who would be a suitable replacement, however I do think that we need someone who is not wedded to 4-4-2 and appreciates the role of midfield in the current game when we start again in the Championship.

I think that guy that won promotion for Burnley in 2016 might just fit the bill. Top of the league, top scorers, lost only 5 out of 46 games all season, playing attractive, very effective, attacking football. Of course we'd have to ensure he had the right players, like he had back then, not the mostly aging journeymen our current manager has to work with. Any road, it could be worth tapping him up, I think he might be available.

Sinkov. I posted this on the assumption the SD would NOT be our manager and had moved to pastures new himself.

Fair enough DD, I thought you were suggesting that we needed a new manager because Dyche was incapable of coaching a team to play good attractive football.
