An Away Move Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 3 minutes ago, KFS said: Read that back again mate. Again, we are not good enough. Can’t be relying on Ayoze Perez to dig us out in a top four crunch match. We need better, they’ve got better. Simple fact of the matter There is no ‘simple fact of the matter’. Seasons are decided on moments and luck. Liverpool had amazing moment with their keeper in the dying seconds. Perez fluffed his lines. That can come down to pressure in the moment. Nothing to do with squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Barnes Ricardo and Justin fit again we will have a squad to compete. If Tielemans or Madison is sold then we'll have the funds to replace them. It'll be tough but Brendan keeps finding a way to keep things ticking over. We might be skint but we're definitely looking to spend quite a bit over the summer.

adam95581 Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 Fair play to Wood, he’s doing his best for us. Would have been nice if he tucked that one away in the first half though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was a result of all of our injuries Aside from Kasper haven’t we had every player from our starting XI out for at least a few games this season? We’ve had it tougher than the leagues biggest victims, and have arguably coped better despite a significantly weaker squad.

orangecity23 Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 (edited) Any chance Dyche could put another bloody striker on instead of expecting no-goals Brownhill to get them back into this? Edited 19 May 2021 by orangecity23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it is gutting that too the usual willy pullers will fill the top four spots. Edited 19 May 2021 by Cadno'r Cymoedd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pliskin Posted 19 May 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 19 May 2021 (edited) The PL is a bit like Mario Kart. The big clubs just pull the stars and red shells out at the end to ultimately win it.... When you are completing against clubs with squads worth around £300-400m more than yours, what do you expect? Those clubs should be worried that teams like us and West Ham are closing the gap. It’s not us that should be embarrassed, it’s them. Nearly a billion £‘s worth of players and they’re scraping into the top 4.... not good enough really is it.... we’ve got half of those resources and are just missing out. No reason to kick ourselves for that. We will have our time, we’re run properly, and when we do, they will all know about it.

Granted we've had our fair share of injuries but we could of at least attempted the formation that worked so well in the first half of the season. Keeps sticking with this back 5 that doesn't work.

Once Barnes was fcuked, we lacked pace going forward. Compounded by Justin as well. Absolutely gotta get a winger in with the ability to take a player on. That back five worked at the very start of the season in part because of Barnes ability to get you up the pitch Edited 19 May 2021 by Cardiff_Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 The togetherness we saw at the end of the game at Wembley doesn’t tell me that Brendan and co are on their way out. I think we’ll get one more season out of him , where realistically it’s probably top 4 or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up a shit load of Jon Moss pickups, each one a guaranteed penalty goal. Meanwhile we're at the front being shafted over and over again by some special attack which makes it completely impossible to get a handball decision.

Itsthejoeker Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 We can talk about how long we spent in the Top 4 until the cows come home, the only stat that matters is where we finish. We’ve had the hardest run in of all the top 4 clubs whilst Liverpool have a bunch of teams with nothing to play for. We’re proving we can consistently compete for these spots and disrupt the “big 6”, I’m happy with that. Rome wasn’t built in a day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 26. Three years sees him at 29 and his value dipping. Generally if we go senior, we normally do it on the cheap or a freebie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
