Yes, agreed. I'll drink to that next Friday. I agree - to an extent - that Potter hasn't solved the goal scoring problem. But, Maupay is getting a few more this season, yesterday notwithstanding. Did you notice that Dyche doubled up his defenders on Lamptey, the source of the bulk of our...

Thanks for coming back. First, I agree with you about Gove. He is my least favourite politician. No redeeming features whatsoever. Nevertheless, politicking on a Friday night drinking thread, misjudges the mood. Onto the Burnley game, and we didn't turn up. But we also missed Dunk, Webster...

This. Just what I was thinking earlier. This is the first season we haven't been looking over our shoulders at the relegation zone. We're on 33 points and 9th, even after playing our worst Potter performance. Our progress won't be in a straight line. But the overall trajectory is north.

Having thought I was making a valid point about the Burnley's stats (3 goals with 31% possession), I feel I ought to mention that Spurs are currently 3-1 up at Man City with 30% possession. The moral of this tale, is don't listen to some smart-arse stato on NSC. Either that, or buy a striker...

I agree. But my point was twofold. We had 69% possession and didn't score. The opposition had 31% possession, yet we couldn't prevent them scoring 3. That's very direct, effective, efficient use of the little possession that Burnley had. Route 1 football hurt us. We had a few CBs out...

We had 69% possession and still deserved to lose 3-0.
