If you follow that suggestion to its logical conclusion then let’s just not critique formations, selections, substitutions….. let the answer be “they know more than us” the fact that he has been substituted in the last 3 games tells you he isn’t doing what the manager wants… the manager is trusting him to do a job based on what he has done and it’s not been rewarded and there is a limit to that goodwill.

And yet he isn’t exactly turning to Rondon to come on in place of him is he? We brought a winger on and pushed a wide forward into a central role rather than bring Rondon on against United. It doesn’t suggest Lampard trusts Rondon to do a job either. Quite right too, I wouldn’t trust him to either. He struggled against Boreham Wood’s defenders and only had any joy against them towards the end of the game because they’re a non-league side and their fitness didn’t hold out for the full game. If he can’t do it against non-league defenders then he’s got no chance in the PL. Thats not to say we should just keep going with Dom but Rondon is not the answer to any question other than who’s on the list for us to get rid of this summer?

I’d rather have a player who is 100% focused on our team flourishing that a lad more arsed about photo shoots and dicking about. Get rid of him to any team stupid enough (United) or light on strikers (Arsenal) to pay a decent wedge and take a gamble on Tammy Abraham or Noni Madueke at PSV Eindhoven.

Maybe rondon isn’t the answer, but I’ve not seen him play as bad as dcl and if he knocked on lampards door and asked “how the fuck is he playing ahead of me?”….. it wouldn’t be an unreasonable question. not sure if dobbin could be a number 9 but let’s be honest , rondon had bullied defenders more than dcl. It’s a shit situation…. Either way dcl needs firing out the door in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it’s a commonplace, including on TT, and I’ve just never noticed it. But my “Whoa!” reaction was in the opposite direction, even if wrongheaded, as their sacking Dyche struck me as a sign of panic at Burnley, which might hurt them in the run-in. It is being called “shock news,” so doesn’t that suggest the punditry, at least, is sensing panic more than bump? Help. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also was Dyche in the mind set that know matter what the outcome he felt he was invincible and safe, and the owners have shown no one is bigger than the club. The Norwich loss sealed his fate as much as in the manner of their loss than the loss it’s self. Burnley showed very little fight for a team that were fighting for their lives, the owners have realised that they have no chance of staying up playing like that, and refusing to throw the towel in they are trying to create in charge in the attitude and dynamics with in the team. Whether they can find anyone better than Dyche who’s made a reputation out of fighting at the bottom of the league, I very much doubt it but I don’t blame them for trying.
