For whatever reason, they seem to have abandoned that this season. I expected a Keegan-esque approach to the league, continuing the attacking and knowing they'd concede a fair few. Instead, they just don't score anywhere near enough... but still concede a fair few. They should have been more Bournemouth than Sheffield United. Similarly, though, I don't think Kompany should be sacked. When I watch them they are like a much poorer version of our 2019/20 team(not just the jersey) and are picked apart at ease. Keeper is hopelessly out of and Hourihane would look robust in the midfield Agree about goals though and they really should have signed Archer instead of Ramsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted February 24 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24 So Burnley, Sheffield, and who? Luton? Everton? Forest? I'm going Everton, although it does not make me happy to say it. Not so much for this or recent seasons, but growing up they were always there or thereabouts, and I always saw them as a kindred club.

Rightdm00 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This luton town team would have finished mid table 10 years ago. The talent disparity between the championship and the premier league has grown so large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to find a pundit that predicted them to go down To my mind, this would make Burnley the biggest flatterers to deceive, of promoted clubs, rather than the worst promoted club. The emperor’s new clothes of promoted clubs. The worst promoted champions, perhaps (I haven’t checked). I hate to be all obvious and predictable, but the season before they totalled their infamous 11 points, Derby were promoted through the play offs. Statistically they have to be the worst promoted club, of recent times, anyway. By all means, Burnley can be among the worst of the promoted clubs. They can be in the conversation. I just don’t think they’re “easily the worst promoted team ever”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompany just can't cut it but is media darling and won't be sacked. Sheffield are worse in my opinion. Taken some absolute batterings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Is £24 million Rhian Brewster the worst ever signing in Premier League history? Ineptitude, injuries, incapacitating his club financially from signing capable players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley, there’s a good young pool of talent there and I could see “the experience” doing them well in the long term. Hard to see any of that at Sheffield United. On the flip side, Luton have been fantastic - hope they stay up. Given my location and mates I hope Forest do too. So Everton or Brentford to go down in that 3rd spot please.

Similarly, though, I don't think Kompany should be sacked. It’s not that they’ve abandoned it , it’s more the fact they can’t do that at premier league level. Kompany is naive in his approach similar to what Smith was when we came up. I agree he shouldn’t be sacked they’ve signed some decent young players and will come back up.
