Luton will get bummed tomorrow by Arsenal. It's not done at all, but where are we getting points from at the moment? If we don't beat Burnley I will start to think we're on the way out (and even then we'll still have a decent chance).

What do we even do in training?
Just hours of shuttle runs and bleep tests?
We can’t possibly do anything involving a ball or tactics
Whether it’s top-end coaching, I wouldn’t know, even if I saw it. But you can clearly see us working on patterns of play, shooting under pressure, possession under pressure. Why this doesn’t translate in matches? No idea.
We look so much better when we start passing the ball on the deck. We are well setup to be playing a much shorter passing game. We have the players to do it.
As soon as the ball goes long, the odds of something happening massively diminish. Especially from Pickford and the CBs. Unless we are being pressed and forced into it, play it short and through the lines. Tark and Branthwaite are comfortable with the ball at their feet and will look for a through pass.
Dyche needs to adapt his system to survive in the job. He needs to instruct the players more effectively and implement patterns of play other than pumping the ball long for the striker and Douc to pick up.
Nothing wrong with the diagonals tark plays and some of the more directed ones Pickford does need to stop the hoofing though it’s just handing back possession to the opposition those long balls are so low percentage we might as well just kick it to their keeper
