On the point Swiss makes about Sean, I'm still struggling to see much difference since MJ took over. One point out six against a mediocre Villa team already 'on the beach'. 28% possession last night, outshot 22-10, pass completion rate 68% to Villa's 90%, corners 13-6 to Villa, tackles won 54% to Villa's 62%. 5 at the back, parking the bus you might call it, Pope playing out of skin to keep us in the game.

Not knocking MJ, sacking Sean could have been catastrophic, but credit to him and the players, they've kept the show on the road, but how was last night an improvement on how we played under Sean ?
I think Sinkov in MJ s defence the only real difference is as the players have said that we do play with a bit more freedom - Sean was very rigid in shape but our only out ball from that was hoof it and hope we could feed of scraps in the oppositions last third - we do imo anyway try and play what I would call proper football - I think all Burnley fans accept that the squad is weaker than many in this league and requires a complete overall.
I’ve mentioned before my dad has been watching 60 plus years and up until Dyche leaving my journey home every week involved me what can only be described as moaning about how dire the football was , there is a little more hope - optimism in those journeys of late.

Did you try the Cabalie ?
