We had another 2 gears easily we could have gone through. They barely had the ball second half and the effort and commitment was seriously lacking which in a derby is inexcusable

Ten bob has lost a good number of supporters following that


It must really hurt that they don't even give us a game.

When they were in their pomp and we were total shite we always had a go.

To be honest, I can't remember the last time the gave us a game? They were relevant in the last two games because of bent decisions. The loss in the swamp and the FA final.

As Dyche always proclaims, the bare minimum is 100% effort.

Running costs nothing. And the rags can’t even get that right :lol:

To be fair, they were running after Jackie all night. He had them on strings but they just couldn’t keep up :lol:

I was flying Manchester to Dubai when the game was on. Amazingly Emirates showed it live on the plane. Amazing not just because I was watching it while flying somewhere over Turkey, but Christ they're brave putting a derby on with a plane full of people on free booze with nowhere to go. When foden scored literally half the TV screens on the plane turned off from pissed off rags. An experience I'll never forget.

At the moment that’s easily our best team. No Kova or Nunes or Akanji. Play that team most of the time and we walk this league.

But the media tell us we have two teams!
There is a massive difference between our best 12 or 13 players and the rest.

I agree.

Although twice the Sky commentator said 'Akanji ' when Stones or Dias passed the ball.

Easy mistake to make I suppose :D

All three have similar features, but I suspect one is definitely longer in the shower than the other two.

Let’s not forget we’re like a Porsche 911 we need to be warmed up before we see the best of us. The lads have settled in some like Doku surprisingly quick. We’re in good shape.

Stones is a stunningly good midfield player. Ridiculous how Pep has improved him. When KDB is back, we will fly. Do not forget what a fit Kev can do, easily the best player in the PL. Well, a bit better than the monster that is Rodri. What a team.

There'll all need to be left out at some point if we want to win the PL and CL.
