Sean Dyche believes Burnley’s battling draw at Arsenal is something to build on as they look to move towards safety in the coming weeks.
Sean Dyche said: “It is a building block, you want to move in the right direction, we just felt it was appropriate to get them right back to the basics. It gives us a nice platform to keep building on that performance because I thought the mentality and the performance was spot on coming to a place like this. With all the situations around the performance today, it has been very, very difficult. We have only had a group we can work with in the last two days because we didn’t have the bodies. We had to work hard when they had the ball and we did that, it is the mentality for me. We have had players missing, players training and two or three who were out there today who wouldn’t be in a normal set of circumstances.”
Burnley’s best chance in the first half came when Dwight McNeil’s cross-cum-shot was palmed behind by Aaron Ramsdale, who was almost caught in possession moments later with the hosts starting the game cold. Asked about Burnley’s plans for the next fortnight,
Sean Dyche added: “We will find that balance, some need a break, some need training. The main thing is to try and stay well and hopefully over the next two weeks we start getting numbers back, fit and sharp.”
