Lost 3-0 to Bournemouth 2 weeks ago and now 4-1. Something definitely wrong down at the bridge.
Our final 12 games have only Chelsea at Turf Moor and Arsenal at the Emirates to play against the top 6.


What’s the point? Everyone is so far behind City just ride the season out and assess from there

CL qualifying I’d imagine. Missing the CL is a disaster for the big clubs and they are now only 1 point ahead of Spurs and in free fall

They finished out the top 4 3-4 Years ago and won the league the year after.

Yes it’s possible but this year isn’t a great year to miss as Barca and Real are doing a massive clean out and recruitment in the offseason and there is no way on Earth guys like Hazard or Courtais stay at Chelsea without CL action

Whilst it's still 0-0 my worst fears about Auba and Miki are confirmed. We'd been hotly after both many years ago but couldn't land them so worried about how they'd go at Arsenal which seemed like such a perfect fit for all parties Looks that way

Whole team was crap. I’ve never in 22 years seen Arsenal play everyone behind the ball. How we only lost 1-0 is beyond me. Absolutely shithouse tactics. Attack is our strength and we tried to play defensive football which we’re not comfortable with. How a manager can keep his job from contsent underperforming is the reason why we won’t progress under wenger. He should have been out 5 years ago

Clarets lost
10 games without a win and the lowest points haul in the division over those games.
Lucky we had such a good 1st half season or we would be ****.

We have to invest next season. We’ve had some tough games during the last ten, and, until this week, we were playing with only 1 of our regular back four, two of our most creative midfielders and our key striker out. Losing 7 (if you include Heaton) of your best eleven when you are the size of Burnley is always going to make it hard going. Next season we have to invest in a bit more quality back up.

BTW, Clarets were well worth a point at Swansea. Playing at home they didn’t have a shot on goal of any description until around the hour mark. We need someone who can hit the back of the net. 5 shots on target by half time, all piss weak or miss~hit.

Glad you're still with us JTC! Was thinking of you when I saw the score.
