#5 Burnley away game woes; Arsene Wenger needs to act sensibly

Sean Dyche
Dyche’s team have an excellent home record but are poor away from home

Burnley need to start getting points on their travels. 96% of their points in the Premier League have come at Turf Moor. They have the third best home record in the Premier League, behind only Chelsea and Tottenham.

However, they have the worst away record, which is in start contrast to their impressive home record. If they could find a way to win away from home and at least be mid-table in away form, they could break into the top 10. Dyche needs to address this and try new things on his side’s travels.

Arsene Wenger must learn to behave after a decision by the officials. It’s quite shocking that such an experienced manager like Wenger acts like a petulant child when decisions go against his team. After he was asked by the referee to head into the tunnel, he reacted by pushing the fourth official who was telling him to do the same. Such retaliation from Wenger is not a new thing, he attacked Jose Mourinho while the Portuguese boss was managing Chelsea.

This time, however, he crossed the line by shoving the fourth official. The FA could look into the matter and suspend Wenger for a few games, which remains to be seen.
