On re-watching the game again I came away feeling we got lucky.

Anderson getting away with that foul which looked worse than the one we got at City was a major let-off and Vydra's glaring miss at the end (notwithstanding Guaita's good save) should have finished us.

Dyche, like all good managers, did his homework and exploited our disorganisation at set pieces. With McArthur absent we lack an on-field leader. The Luka/Kouyate pairing is very weak and this needs a change. Maybe bring on Kouyate to defend a lead but Luka is a liability and well past his original best.

If we are going to press we need Olise on from the start and it puzzles me that we have a holding midfielder but Hughes has yet to get a minute of game time.

For the moment we have to rely on our goal scoring abilities to compensate on defensive weakness.

We are now a 'good team to watch' but can't expect to progress until the weaknesses are fixed.

We started with the wrong team, and didn't correct it soon enough, showed them too much respect, should have gone for their throats and we would have had the points

The fact he felt he needed to say that perhaps indicates he knew there may be some criticism of him.

I did wonder about the attacking line up but we scored 3 goals in the first half. So the real question has to be on the defence. We let in 3 very Burnley esque goals. We knew they would test us in set pieces yet we seemed very unprepared for it. Some of the defending was shocking in that respect.

Hopefully Viera is able to improve our set piece defending as that seems to be our main issue at the moment, whilst scoring isn't for the time-being, thankfully.

From my point of view that was a game we could have won but equally could have lost.

We started well and should have been 2 up but Gallagher hit his shot straight at their keeper.

Then came our all too frequent struggles defending set pieces. We lack an airielly dominant centre back, and Burnley are always going to try to exploit that and did. More work to be done on the training ground because as a team we are not getting the defending basics right - blocking runs being a prime example.

Against a team of s***houses like Burnley, we didn't help ourselves by conceding unnecessary free kicks and giving them the chance to put the ball into our penalty area. I respect the job that Dyche does, but I couldn't watch that football. Especially after 4 years that we've just had under Roy.

Koutate and Luka together was not a good combination. I'm sure that didn't go unnoticed by PV.

Burnley in November is a difficult place to go. A draw isn't a bad result.

Old, Ungifted and White

Whilst we may not like the style of play Dyche employs he is still an experienced and canny manager. He got his tactics spot on, especially after the adjustments at half time. I'm glad to have come away from Turf Moor with something.
