I'm convinced some folks can't remember what happened last week never mind what was happening under Mick or MON. "This won't work", well the other way wasn't f**king working either. I've actually enjoyed the last three games apart from the results, it's nice to get excited as your players play a few simple one-twos to create some space and get a shot off now and again instead of just hoofing things and hoping we win a freekick or corner. I think there's been an obvious improvement especially from the first Finland game which was very poor.

Give Kenny the WC qualifying campaign and let's see how we go. No doubt there is an army who says we "can't afford to lose a qualifying campaign" or some other nonsense, well f**king news flash we already lost the first Nations League and the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign because of our last two managers so I'm willing to give this fella a go with the youngsters.

Knight was only on briefly but I liked the look of him

Completely agree. Memories in this country are way too short (look at politics as a prime example). 
For the first time in a long time I looked forward to the Ireland games. Of course I was pi$$ed off with the results but to see a team willing to play a bit of football and seeing young players being given a chance was such a breath of fresh air. 

As you said, we have done feck all in the last NL and the Euro qualifiers so why people would expecting anything different by reverting to same I dont know.

The things ex players/ management do/say to keep relevant is shocking. He’s a clear agenda King does and at least everyone sees him for what he is, an absolute joke of a manager when he had the u21s and bitter Kenny done more than him in half a campaign than he done in 8 or however many years it was.

They will have to quarantine when they go home yeah?
Ballybrack hardly get special treatment from the Fai? No surely that wouldn’t happen at all no all by the book I’m sure.

LF is there anyway you can find out what are the percentages in the final 3rd of the pitch ?
Sometimes stats can be misleading .

Thats a fair point of course Murph and I wouldn't imagine it to be very high.

The percentages don't really tell us much and should be taken with a pinch of salt but none the less interesting.

A Centre back knocking the ball back to his keeper - Completed pass.
A Centre back under no pressure passing across to the other centre back - Completed pass.

On their own, this statistic tells us nothing.

Which has is nothing more than fabricated nonsense on your part and the stats below tell their own story, Burnley play one way and one way only = Direct

18/19 Season - Burnley 19th
17/18 Season - Burnley 20th
16/17 Season - Burnley 20th


I’m not f**king stupid... I’ve seen them pass the ball and mix with the long ball you tool. They are not a tippy tappy team but they pass the ball and mix it up

Dont agure with GD as he has his UEFA badges Shocked
 
But yes Liam you are right in what you say they do mix it up and play the channels .

Its now approaching Day 3  of your obsession with me, merely because I pulled you up on your weird ramblings. In that time we've seen you start a thread to get a dig at me, on a number of occasions brought up my coaching qualifications and even bring up my username when I'm not debating with you?

Let it go old man.....

Lads big Jack in his prime with his best squad would find it tough to qualify for the next World Cup.  Anyone who doesn’t think that hasn’t a clue. So it’s going to be tough.

We simply can't go back to the way it was before, the football was toxic and it didn't make us harder to beat or give us a better chance of scoring. Duffy has been our best chance of a goal for a long time.

Playing direct just gave possession of the ball away and put us in the defensive foot.

Pity Randolph made that mistake, he has been our best player the past number of years, Duffy 2nd. 
The number of crucial saves has he made, we would be 4th seeds without him Heart
It would damage this forums' reputation
