This is very true, and Kompany did put a lot on his keepers playing those risky passes, but then you get things like the Brighton goal we’re he tried to trap the ball with his studs and let it roll under him or the Everton goal where he just kicked it against Calvert-Lewin. He also seemed to want to play riskier passes when we were trying to close a game out. Predictable he ain’t - but great fun!

Hi all - Clarets fan here. Many congrats on your promotion.

While I think the fee is fair, disappointed to lose Muric, mainly because he was very unfortunate to lose his place after promotion.

If you’re after a safe, dependable, steady Eddie of a keeper, Muric is not your guy. He can be a bit heart in mouth sometimes, but that’s part of the package with him - his distribution with his feet is superb and when he’s ‘in the zone’, he’s a joy to watch. His presence in the box is good but could be better when you consider his size. He’s a more than decent shot stopper too. He’s just the kind of guy who’ll perform a Cruyff turn in his own box in a crucial game, like he did for us against Boro in our promotion season.

What is undeniable is that he now and again he suffers from what you could charitably describe as a ‘brain fart’ where he will just do something inexplicable. It’s just something to accept I guess because if he didn’t have them he’d be challenging Man City’s first team.

He’s a bit of a character - quite aloof and charismatic but we really took to him here and he was sensational in our Championship season. Bit of a cult hero. Enjoy the ride and all the best for the season.
