I will never cheer on Burnley like that again, I'd imagine.

Very much doubt AA is out the picture, has been called a long term project. Che played a similar number of minutes in his first season. Will be interesting to see who plays Chelsea as I think Long makes more sense as a late sub but I think AA is the better starter

Redmond has a year left on his contract. My guess is we approached him about signing a new one on a reduced wage and he said no so now we are selling. Could be we wanted to get rid anyway but seems unlikely given how involved he was in the first half of the season. Either way, I think its time we moved on a couple of 10s and brought in a good one. More quality less quantity.

Problem is a load of idiots do follow him and just ignoring him and not commenting allows him to influence the unfortunately impressionable unhindered.

Yep. He chats constant shite but as soon as a tweet is sufficiently bad that basically everyone calls him a prick (other then fanboys and idiots) he backpeddles like the coward he is. Expect him to keep posting basically the same thing he said earlier about Bucha but mildly more cryptically so he can hide more easily next time everyone notices he is a massive bellend.

Embarrassing back peddling. Obvious what he meant like it's obvious with all his other stupid tweets.

Great footballer, fucking idiot. Very good example of why one should listen to those who study things for a living over people who were only famous for how well they kicked a ball about.

Must have misscounted across competitions. 6 games since last goal. Still not good but better than I thought.

Yep, best free kick taker in the world. He's our main goal scorer and main assister on current form which is good for him but a bit of an issue with the rest of our team. Someone needs to take the burden off him.

Yeah absolutely. He was young but so was Obafemi. He's better than Obafemi for me, of course, but being young isn't a guarantee of improving and his rate has been a bit disappointing, a player you'd expect to improve you'd think would get better over the course of the season. Starting hot and falling away hard is moving in the wrong direction.

I think we'll continue to develop him and he'll play a bigger role next season. Che played behind Long for most of his first season.

Thing is, Broja was on a dip before the team dipped. He hasn't scored in 9 but we've only been poor for 5 games. We were excellent from Christmas to the beginning of March, in which time he got 3 goals in 13 games so blaming his drop in form on a whole team drop in for is inaccurate imo. Agree Elyounoussi has fallen away too. To a lesser extent than Broja though in my opinion.

Che is wasteful, incredibly so, but atleast he has something to waste. When people called his uptick in form it was because of the sheer number of chances he was getting. Broja isn't getting chances. For me that's a great deal more concerning because he just isn't involved at all. If that was due to no one getting chances owing to a poor midfield there that'd be fair enough but Che, Elyounoussi, Stu and even Arma always end up with atleast one or two good chances or shots in the box, Broja doesn't at all.

The strikers aren't feeding off scraps though. Adams is getting loads of chances. As a team our xG was over 2 yesterday. We are providing things to the forward getting in good positions, just not the one who seems to be incapable of sheading his marker and getting free in good areas.

In what way does it make me an idiot to say Broja is underperforming, he very obviously is? His return hasn't been good enough, and its not like he's missing big chances and the goal is just round the corner. He doesn't even get chances in a lot of games.

All I did was say that as a team struggling for goals, our starting striker being on a 9 game goal drought is probably not helping. Any other year this would be half the comments in the postmatch thread but Broja seems to be uncriticisable without a load of kickback. It's like people on here wildly overrated him and when you point out he's actually had a bang average season it's unfair because he's young. People never seemed to have that complaint about Obafemi who had more goals per 90 than Broja puts up by a good margin.

Those complements are just as useful as goals, who cares he hasn't scored in 9, a manager said nice things about him. Sign him up for life.

This season he has fewer goals per minute played than Obafemi averaged with us in the league. Maybe you've overrated his potential

Better to get chances and miss them than to not even get a sniff. Armstrong is lightning fast and two footed. He's being eased in like Adams was behind Long. He will come good for us I still think.

Enough for a £40m forward or whatever nonsense you were touting? Or more pressingly, enough for us? Do we want a forward who has two prem goals since December. I mean all season he had 6 league goals in 26 games. Is this a good enough showing to spend big money on him? Not for me. Get Dennis in first, cheaper and over double the goal contributions.

I remember you saying exactly the same things about Adams, our league top scorer.

No, I think we'd do just as well with any of our other forwards as Broja has had barely any touches let alone goals.

Is 3 goals in 17 games enough?

And we're back. Easy way to admit you are wrong. How long does this dry spell have to last before you will admit he is just not as good as you first thought?
