How these roles work

Blamed (Causer)

Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.

Sympathy (Victim)

This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.

Credit (Beneficiary)

Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

Captivating Talking Points

Ndiaye is probably our best player in terms of overall quality but I think post afcon he hasn’t been quite as good as before. He’s still been good, don’t get me wrong, but he’s not really getting goals and assists, which don’t tell the whole story, but are important for a forward

Believer Gana offers nothing going forwards and mcNeil starts to struggle past the 60th minute. Armstrong and Dibling would be amazing right now. That means Barry in the 85th and that's it

Emerging

Dwight McNeil Shows Improved Form in Victory

Emerging Controversial

Fans Celebrate Outstanding Goalkeeper Performance

Emerging Controversial

The discussion also includes reactions to his individual moments during the match, including a near-miss shot and his overall contribution on the pitch.

Fans Demand Manager Parker's Removal

Supporters are expressing strong frustration with manager Scott Parker's tactical decisions and overall performance, with many calling for his immediate sacking. The discussion centres on poor results (1 win in 19 matches), ineffective team setup, and criticism of the board for keeping him in position despite widespread fan dissatisfaction.

Mixed Reactions to Moyes' Tactical Substitution Decisions

Emerging

Fans are debating manager Moyes' approach to player rotation and substitutions, with opinions divided between those criticising his inconsistent squad selection and those praising his ability to achieve results despite limited depth. The discussion reflects broader uncertainty about his management style, though several supporters acknowledge his track record of overachieving with limited resources.

Burnley's Dramatic Decline Since Promotion

Controversial

Fans are discussing Burnley's poor performance this season, with many expressing shock at how drastically the team has deteriorated since winning the Championship, comparing them unfavourably to other struggling sides like Wolves. The consensus is that Burnley appear to have mentally given up and lack the quality to compete at this level.

Everton supporters are expressing optimism about the team's recent displays, with fans highlighting improved passing consistency and set-piece organisation compared to previous matches.

Player's Performance Sparks Debate Over Quality

Emerging Controversial

Fans are divided over a player's recent performances, with some praising his improved play and effort in recent matches, whilst others argue his inconsistency and overall quality this season don't warrant a starting role at a top club.

Fans Praise Ndiaye's Quality and Character

I mean he saved 2 pens in the 2021 Euros and we still lost. Always been quality, he's just cut the mistakes out since 5 years ago. Might be biased but I genuinely think he's top 3 in the league. ▲ 33

"Beto plays a decent game... Barry gets dropped. Rohl plays a decent game... never seen again. Playing the same lineup 2 days a later in a very very different game is fucking crazy. No idea why Armstro"

15 replies mixed replies more positive Show replies

I’m still yet to see anything from Rohl that can convince he is worthy of a place on the bench once. I really don’t rate him at all. However, he’s still youngish and has to settle to I hope he can adjust and get better. −

↳ So you didn’t watch the game against Villa i take it

↳ I did see it. But I didn’t think he played as well as others made out afterwards on here and other platforms. −

↳ He was excellent, deserves more minutes than none +

↳ To get more minutes, he needs to knock KDH out of the side and he’s not good enough to do that. He can’t pass the ball like Garner to take his place, and he can’t tackle, read the game and intercept like Gueye to play as one of the two 6’s. −

↳ Moyes could use his subs more

↳ He’s never done that though has he? It’s rare to see him make major adjustments from the bench. I hope he throws George on early, as I’d like to see more of him.

↳ Then it’s something he needs to improve upon

↳ It’s easier to just accept that Moyes is stuck in his ways. He’s ultra cautious and frustrating at times, but it’s hard to argue with his results. −

↳ One could argue that Moyes’ stubbornness is why some results haven’t been better −

"Can't see dibling getting any minutes this season. What do we think happens in the summer? Surely has to go. Every minute he stays we are losing money"

11 replies consensus replies more positive Show replies

Loan him out and hope he remembers how to play football. He simply hasn't done enough to earn a place in our XI when he's had the chance so far. We got bent over with the fee we paid for him, but it doesn't mean we have to weaken our team playing him when he's so obviously off the pace. −

Has to be something like this for Dibling and Rohl - makes little sense otherwise not to get them on the pitch −

↳ It crazy to have such a small squad and just freeze out youngsters. −

Loan maybe?

↳ Why not put him on loan in Jan?

↳ We put him on loan in Jan and all the sudden Ndiaye gets injured and is out for the season, Tyrique George gets 2 red cards and has a long ban and then were left with McMessi as a winger −

↳ Dunno, that’s what I’d have done

If we sell him in the summer we will be hemorrhaging losses. I'd guess he gets a loan −

↳ Maybe. It gets more baffling by the minute though to drop that much money on him. −

↳ We should have known this by end of January right? He hasn't played since then? He and aznou not leaving on loan, but also not getting a single minute with the team or u21s is insane. −

"Starting to think we're safe from relegation "

10 replies consensus replies more positive Show replies

Crazy how 40 points used to be the target for safety and here we are sitting 6 points off of 5th. −

↳ Well yeah we are at 40 pts with 10 games still to go what are you on about? That’d be like saying two months crazy how 40 points used to be the target for safety and here Arsenal are sitting atop the table.

The chart has earned a nice rest. +

↳ Get a chart going for Europe qualification!

↳ Blasphemy −

↳ There is but one true Chart. Thou shalt worship no other Chart before it.

43 points! A couple more wins and I think we'll be fine +

↳ Barring the Spanish Inquisition, which of course, nobody expects. −

↳ more like the Wolverhampton Inquisition

I need the grief chart to feel safe

"KDH and Garner give me indecent thoughts"

9 replies mixed replies more positive Show replies

Stop, I can only get so erect −

↳ If it's been more than four hours listen to YNWA

↳ Way too much information, but I giggled nonetheless. I guess that's what a home win does. +

Incredible duel between them for player of the season. +

↳ Not including Pickford obviously

↳ Low socks on KDH has him a nose ahead for me

↳ Ndiaye would like a word

↳ Ndiaye is probably our best player in terms of overall quality but I think post afcon he hasn’t been quite as good as before. He’s still been good, don’t get me wrong, but he’s not really getting goals and assists, which don’t tell the whole story, but are important for a forward

↳ He got an assist today, and a goal had Gueye passed it on time +

"Of course Pickford turns into prime Yashin ahead of the WC. What a keeper he is."

8 replies mixed replies more negative Show replies

This was an uneventful game by his standards. He's been fucking class for years but people remember a mistake he made 7 years ago and assume he must be shit −

↳ Never thought he was shit but I'm impressed by the complete lack of mistakes he makes. Hasn't put a foot wrong all season which is extremely impressive for a keeper. +

I mean he saved 2 pens in the 2021 Euros and we still lost. Always been quality, he's just cut the mistakes out since 5 years ago. Might be biased but I genuinely think he's top 3 in the league.

↳ Would say it's between him and Raya

↳ Think donnarumma has a shout too tbf

↳ Yeah thats why I said top 3, but tbh put any of those 3 in either team and they're all up there. I do rate Allisson but think he's had a huge drop off in the past year.

He’s always like this

↳ This is trouble with those that only watch the "big 6" all the time. In the past 5 or so years we've conceded a lot against them, so they'd only be seeing Pickford conceding goals. But if you watched him all the time, you'd know that his mistakes are few and far between. In fairness, I'd say you could level that argument against any fan who only watches their own team play; you can only judge a player for what you've seen of them! −
