I watched Parker making team changes last night and honestly thought that he had absolutely no game plan and no idea what to do next.
I felt sorry for Burnley fans watching. They can do much better than him that’s for certain

Every manager has a game plan mate ..Parkers is just not a good one!and his players have stopped trying and thats down to them and his management skill(or lack of ) Managing is a difficult job even if it is a simple game and i dont think pep or turkey teeth klopp would do much better with that squad!Looks like Parker's level is the championship and whilst that may hurt his ego i doubt he will ever get a chance at a prem club again!

As a manager, Scott Parker has got 3 different clubs promoted; so in what way is he a “fraud”?

Not commenting on the fraud piece, but the 3 teams he got promoted had an big advantage in terms of spend and wage bill.

It'd have been a catastrophic failure to not have got those teams up.

It’s one of the shortest away trips as well compared to all the trips down south. Never like to put down a group of fans but that was a poor showing we’ve seen smaller sides in the championship being more for a midweek game.

To be fair mate sure Burnely population is only something like 75k. Not all clubs have masses of fans. Burnley have good loyalty fans base.

The point is that our players should be better than that. We showed at the start of the season that Burn;ey's players can compete on level terms with Sunderland's players. But since then Sunderland have been sent out by your manager to go and win games; our players have been sent out to go and draw.

I thnk te problem yesterday was that it was a game that we (theortetically) had a chance to win, so of course the players were sent out in the usual style to keep possession and play the possession game until someone scores. This is never Burnley; when we play that tactic, we always let in the first goal. The last three games against Man U, Spurs, and Liverpool were more "free hits" in that we little theoretical chance of winning, and so the players had a bit more freedom.

Parker stifles them. He will not venture to try and win if it means risking drawing. He never would - that's why both our games last year were so dull (on our side at lease), because all he was interested in was defending. And it's why we had 12 0-0 draws last season - because even at home to poor sides, he wouldn't risk attacking when there was a point to be held on to.

We had an injury crisis at the back at Turf Moor and had to pick a guy who was 6th choice in the championship. We strengthened significantly after that, so it really isn’t just tactics. Our players are also quite a bit better than yours.

If you listen to his post match presser last night , no up for it, lack of desire etc, it's almost theme and word identical to the one last year he gave when we played them at home... The Clown
