Game wasn’t great, that’s three times now Burnley have got the better of us, with less than quarter of the possession.

Same managers, similar playing squads, similar coaching records.

Sadly, you don’t get too long in the epl as Ange found out today, but BA, Pascal and JH must be dropped for next game, and look a level below what we need.

We’re creating so little our two brightest sparks last year were Manor and AO can understand not playing Manor but AO, we’ve got to change and change quickly as this will become habitual.

Better players on the bench than on the pitch today, and whatever we think of the recruitment that’s on DF to continue to play the same players and same formation.

West Ham is a must win game now.

Go with that Class, Arrosson the new Tyler Robert’s.
Crap but still gets a start, will cost Farke his job. He is too arrogant to admit his mistakes. Still ALAW.

If someone told me back in May LUFC would be starting Harrison and Aaronson in a game I would have called the men in the white coats for them.

18 Oct 2025 19:37:59
For most of the time Harrison was on the field, he was playing the wrong way.

18 Oct 2025 20:59:15
Yet Harrison created our best chance!

Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls.
My thinking is this, and it’s quite simple really.
The board/ recruitment team never really committed to the Premier League this summer.
My opinion is that they always had and have 1 eye on being back in the championship again next season.
That’s why I believe they stuck with Farke, he is proven at Championship level but by no means Premier League level.
They did the exact same with the playing squad, exactly the reason they sold nobody of any significance ( Struijk, Tanaka, Gnonto, James or Piroe)
Nmecha offers absolutely nothing, DCL is our best option but service is poor and very little support around him, and we probably needed better in the summer.
I think we all saw today’s lineup and scratched our heads, Harrison was mental beaten by seeing Walker on the team sheet, Aaronson is pathetically bad at this level. I’m staggered that Bijol can’t get a sniff, said it since we appointed Farke he’s a few trick pony and it’s showing.
January window has to be massive, even more so if we don’t get all 3 points against Wet Spam on Friday.

After that performance, let's hope we are still in the mix in January. Didn't our MD Robbie Evans say in a recent interview that he was hoping we wouldn't be doing any transfer business in January?

18 Oct 2025 18:04:23
Well sibl8ngs, I am hoping that the performance today was an anomaly and a massive kick up the posterior for DF. So do predictable to keep the same formation and put JH in and BA AGAIN. He has to think outside the box ie no Okafor, Willy and DJ not fit so ADAPT the system go 532, play JJ rb and put Boges rw. Anything, anything but stick with that today, honestly he is going to self fulfill the prophecy if he font get his head out of his arse over BA.

18 Oct 2025 18:33:34
He shall do more or less the same. thing next game, leadership from sidelines desperately needed .

18 Oct 2025 19:06:57
The most predictable manager in the EPL.
Scott Parker knew exactly what team and what system we would play today.

How do you get onto the approved list for the live chats?

{Ed033's Note - Mezzeragain has been added to approved list for the live chats.

While I was really hopeful of a win there tactically we were shocking. Midfield totally absent not sure what Ethan ampadu bring to the game I would even have Calvin Phillips back as at least he played forwards. If Daniel farkes tactic is to bring on as many attackers as possible. It won't work without service. Sat in the Burnley end I didn't even have to sit on my hands.

18 Oct 2025 17:07:48
Our team just not good enough.

18 Oct 2025 16:59:02
There's you answer Mr Maratthe on taking a punt on a player totally ill equipped for a premiership team who you knew would struggle, , albeit he's a sub, Nmecha offers nothing, changes nothing, achieves nothing, it's why our slide has been happening, coupled with Lewins lack of goals ( no surprise) , and the icing on cake Brendan

As the adage says
Table don't lie, so it's no surprise too me in all honesty

I felt Lewins transfer wouldn't work
I knew Nmechas wouldn't, it now almost November and our goal tally is already worrying, Farke I feel is now under pressure, pressure he has brought on himself to a degree,

Knocking the ball around lower 2/ 3's park trumps up the stats yes, but unfortunately our stats in red zone are the 1's that win points and we are now clearly failing at that

Very poor today.

I am sure the manager, the board and the fans know it doesn't matter how well you up to the opponent's 6 yard box if you haven't an experienced and recognised goal scorer there are not going to be many games you lose. We had a good day at wolves but that was the exception. I seen all of the games this year and I get sucked in as well. I come away thinking we didn't do that bad even when we lose or throw away winning positions because we couldn't put the game to bed. At the moment we flatter to deceive. We have some very nice players none of whom has the ability to be the predatory striker who is there or there about with the skill to convert the chances that come along. Aaronson gets into some good positions in front of goal but if he converts more than one in ten he would be exceeding expectations. He is not alone in that respect. I worry we will continue to contest games, play well and still end up in the bottom 3/ 4.
