  1. Just now, useless said:

    I wouldn't be getting overly concerned about Newcastle surviving based on today, it's only their second win of the season and they were pretty much dreadful. On another day would have been a comfortable win for Leeds.

    Burnley have 5 games in hand on Norwich.

    Will be fascinating to see what actually happens with the table when games starts to catch up.

  2. It isn't just fitness imo.

    Not at the level he was in 2017.

    He is still good at striking the ball and his passing is slick but we shouldn't have unrealistic expectations.

    He isn't going to rip up the league. He is an improvement on Traore, and I'll take that for now.

    Let me get this straight...

    For the first part of the season, Burnley have been so shit that they're bottom of the table.  Then, they sell their best striker.  Because of these two things, everyone expects them to go down and there's absolutely no pressure so they're going to see an upturn in form? :D 

    Dyche always manages to find a way out of it.

    They have 5 games in hand on Norwich. Plenty of time for them to get it right.

    Sold their best(?) striker and bottom of the table - you reckon they'll be playing free flowing, pressure-free football?

     

    **** sake pal :D 

    Everyone expect them to go down regardless so there won't be much pressure.

    Two of those teams (one with 5 games in hand on Norwich) average 0.6 points per game. Watford - who Norwich just beat - average 0.7 exactly (slightly less than Norwich’s 0.72).

    All games in hand do is add pressure and congest the fixture list for teams who desperately need to win. I really don’t get why people think it’s a benefit. 

    Burnley won't feel much pressure.

    They are veterans at this stuff. They won't panic, and they will just start grinding out results eventually. Like they always do.

    Newcastle, Norwich and Watford will go down me think.

    Points on the board is better than games in hand

    Is 16 points in 22 games really points on board ?

    I reckon they'll be quite a bit behind once game starts catching up

    This is the first time in 52 Premier League games Norwich are out of the bottom 3

    Teams below them have games in hand, so the current table doesn't tell the whole story.

    16 points from 22 points is still a piss poor return and they shouldn't be anywhere near safety once games are starting to catch up.
