Sean Dyche

says that

still has work to do despite their recent results. After Burnley’s last week victory against Liverpool, there have been many pundits talking about Burnley’s performance, but their boss still thinks they have to improve.

“My years of being here, my years of working with this group told me we’d find a way out and we are doing somewhat,”

he said

“We’re only approaching halfway but we’ve had a good points return over the last nine or 10 games, a couple of good rounds in the FA Cup and we’re getting fit.

“It doesn’t guarantee you anything but it gives you a better chance.”

And about Burnley’s fitness in their 3-0 victory against Fulham he added:

“When you get everyone fit you have an in-house competition, There are players who are really playing with that edge to make sure they keep the shirt.

“I think that run of performances and some of the results has come from the fact that the group’s now fitter, getting stronger and that in-house competitive edge where no one’s relying on a shirt and has to earn it, then I think that’s good for the team.”

Burnley struggled so much to stay in the Premier League last season, but they have been showing a different quality in this term.

“The fact they stayed up last season gave them a big lift and affected things,”

Dyche said.

“They had that twist of fate with the VAR goal that was or wasn’t (against Sheffield United), it maybe kept them up and they built on that. Fair play to them. They’re a good outfit.

“But as much as Aston Villa have started strong, we’re getting strength in depth as well so we’re in a good place ourselves.”
