Season Review: Burnley


Burnley enjoyed their first season back in the Premier League after a year away.

 Season Summary:

 Premier League: 16th
Total Points: 40
F.A Cup: Fifth Round
EFL Cup: Second Round
Top Scorer: Sam Vokes (10)

Season Review:

 Burnley returned to the top flight after a season away with the aim of avoiding relegation and for the first time in their history they will have a second successive season in the Premier League.

They even staved off the threat of relegation with time to spare, thanks largely to their home form. Not many teams were able to win at Turf Moor, Liverpool, Everton and Leicester were just three of the sides that were beaten at the stadium during the campaign.

However, away from home it was a different story. Dyche's men managed just one away win all season and they had to wait until March for that win at Crystal Palace. They will now hope to continue that home form into next season and try to pick up more points away from home.

Manager Review:

 Sean Dyche has done an incredible job at Burnley since he took over at the club. He has led them to promotion to the Premier League twice and has done a fabulous job again this season. The way that he  has managed to lead them to safety is incredible, there will be bigger clubs looking at him in the future and Burnley will want to hold onto him.

Player of the Season - Tom Heaton 

 Not only has he proved to be a fantastic keeper and is now firmly a pick in the England squad. He has made some fantastic saves this season and has kept Burnley in a lot of games especially away from home. It was a close call between him and Michael Keane.

 2017/18 Prospects:

 Burnley must improve away from home next season otherwise I feel they will struggle to avoid the drop, with some depurates expected including that of Michael Keane i expect them to strengthen in the summer in those defensive areas.

FT REPORT: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 TOTTENHAM

MANCHESTER CITY put Wednesday's Champions League disappointment behind them after beating Spurs 1-0 to put the pressure back onto Liverpool in the title race.  (C) Manchester City  City came flying out of the blocks right away. It didn't take long to get in front. 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...
