#4 Burnley hardly attacked the entire game
Trending
The result was probably never in doubt, but Burnley manager Sean Dyche will be fuming at his side’s lack – or rather, near absence – of attacking intent the whole game.
Apart from a 10-minute spell between the 70th and the 80th minute where they managed to win a succession of corners, Burnley seemed more than pleased to play ‘damage-control’ and rely on getting bodies in the way of shots.
This tactic proved to be effective against Liverpool last week when they conceded 81% possession after scoring twice early on, but, in this case, they were chasing the game right from the first minute and never looked like they were going to have the better of Thibaut Courtois.
When they managed to get possession of the ball, they tried playing long but to no avail whatsoever. Overall, it was a disappointing display from the Clarets in the attacking third.
