Season Review: Burnley

The 2014-15 season was Burnley's first season back in the Premier League following promotion from the Championship last season. Did they Underachieve, achieve or overachieve this season.

Team Competitions

Barclays Premier League: 19th Relegated
F.A Cup: Third Round (lost 4-2 to Tottenham)
League Cup: Second Round (lost 0-1 to Sheffield Wednesday)

High Point: The high point of Burnley's season was beating Manchester City 1-0 at Turf Moore keeping the hopes of survival alive.
Low Point: Losing 0-1 to Leicester which all but condemned the side to relegation back to the Championship after just one season in the top flight.

Overall Burnley achieved what many thought they would. There was not one game that they did not go out and give it there all. Even when it looked like the game was over they still fought and continued to stay in the game. A prime example is Man City away 2-0 down at half time and they earned a point out of the game. It was clear to see what Burnley's problem was they just couldn't score enough goals just 28 all season with the Liverpool bound Danny Ings scoring 11 of them. For me Burnley achieved what i thought they would do gave a go in every game and were never really battered in a game.

Bernando Silva's cross found Sergio Aguero, who had too much space in the box and headed across goal for Phil Foden who headed in from close range after just five minutes. That was Foden's first Premier League goal on his second ever Premier League start. City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside. Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
