Maybe we could buy their right back?  |

At this moment in time, YES. They are so many points in front of us, it's embarrassing

No. They haven't got a better squad but they are better organised and have a simple but effective game plan.

Squad don’t matter, it’s the guy in charge that does and Dyche appears to be way ahead of Hughes at the moment

No they just don't do charity matches and stick to a shape and system that suits what they have.
In short they play to their potential instead of being constant disappointments like ours.

No they do not have a better squad just a manager who gets the best out of a hardworking set of grafters.
Team spirit & fight something which i am afraid we very much lack over to you Mr Coates sort your management out before its to late.

They all seem to try and know their jobs that's a big advantage and 5 or 6 would be in our team at the minute easy

Burnley are currently demonstrating how important the manager is. The right manager can be more important than the players.
I'd take Dyche over Hughes.

We have far better individuals... Burnley play far better as a team.

Fans of all PL teams - perhaps with the exception of Huddersfield - think they have a better squad of players than Burnley. Even Brighton's and Newcastle's.
Last year, Middlesbro fans were convinced Karanka had built a better squad than Dyche.
Most Burnley fans find it amusing when opposition fans are surprised our so-called "championship standard" players can give all opponents, including Man City, a good game.

Burnley's biggest plus is that they seem to be able to replace players who are injured or suspended with players who are just as good.

Well, if our players are so superior we should be able to play 4-4-2 or any other attacking formation and just outplay them. I'm far from convinced that they are, with the exception of Shaqiri.

Yeah that statement is pure arrogance based on no evidence whatsoever. They've got five or six who would piss into our squad and a fair few of those into our first team. Yet Scholes and Cartwright sleep soundly at night, knowing their employment is not in the slightest doubt. |

They certainly have a manager who is more enthusiastic and creative at the moment.
Frustrating thing is that Hughes probably has better football experience + knowledge (in the sport) than Dyche but cannot seem to harness it for some reason?

No they don't. As stated above, not one of their squad gets into our team.
Shows both how good a job Dyche is doing at keeping them organised and getting results, and how poor a job Hughes is doing here.

I don't think I'd take one of their players. Which shows how much a terrible job Hughes is doing at the moment If I knew that he didn't really die on our pitch that afternoon, I'd take Jack Cork in our midfield and I'd probably take Ben Mee to partner Ryan. Beyond that, they really are a team that is greater than the sum of its parts and they can't keep being as lucky as they are regardless of how well organised they are. The one thing that they do have over us (and no doubt many others) is that every single person in the squad knows exactly what their role in the team is. |

Heaton Pope Tarkowski Mee Brady Hendrick Defour Wood All in with a very good shout of getting in our squad. |

I wouldn't take Heaton over Butland and it is unrealistic to expect him to be in the squad as a no2. I don't rate Brady but Burnley fans love him, Hendrick is crap, Defour is better this season than he was last but he's less mobile than Charlie Adam (they build the team to cater for that though) and I haven't really seen enough of Wood to comment. |

Looking at that list i think i know 4 of them. That shows a) how out of touch i am with some other teams, and b) how much they must have flown under the radar so far as i don't know half the buggers. |

In my view the 3 promoted sides have lesser squads.
Other than that there is no difference between the bottom 9,or very little.
Leicester are better maybe Southampton
The rest arnt
Table tells a different story though

Agreed, I don't think you could put a sliver of paper between the 2 squads, outside the Big 6 it's all about getting marginal gains wherever and however you can. What they have done brilliantly is to convert a pretty poor record of scoring less than a goal a game on average over 16 matches in to an eye watering 28 points! They rarely 'waste' any goals in defeat and cling on to 1-0 leads like grim death! They are a dour, taciturn, miserable lot, but you can't say it's not working. |

It's very hard to say, isn't it?
Defensive players tend to really shine in well-drilled, well-protected Pulis/Dyche set-ups where the system is king.
Would players like Mee and Tarkowski shine in our set-up? Who knows?

Easy answer no they wouldn't all the fuss about Keane last season the moment he goes to a team with more ambition he's dead ordinary. |
