Burnley manager Sean Dyche says English football has been "brainwashed" into playing down its qualities and has called for the country's emerging stars to be given greater encouragement.

Dyche claims "shining lights" such as Danny Ings and Harry Kane are under-appreciated compared to foreign stars.
"I think we're all guilty of it at some point," Dyche said. "We've all been brainwashed by it, that we're not as strong nationally. We've just got to be careful."

Re: Man Utd 'not having one shot on target'.

IMHO, play seems all a bit too frantic with a massive mystic belief and reliance amongst the players and importantly too, the manager, on 'the only way to score is to hit the ball first time'.

Of course, if you can hit the ball perfectly and accurately when you hit it first time, then all good and well.

But they can't. Their passing is crap and their shooting is crap too.

I am not too convinced about van Waal's managerial ability at the moment. He is always seen writing down statistics and notes.

1. How can he miss this stuff. It's blatantly obvious to me.
2. Importantly, why doesn't he tell them to at least steady up at least a smidgen and try to control the ball better.
3. I wonder what these guys do in training? Do they practice stuff enough?

Thinks....

Perhaps they need to get young Romeo Beckham in. He seems to be 'doing it' for Burberry.

Tottenham vs Burnley FA Cup team news.

There’s more third round FA Cup action this evening when Tottenham take on Burnley. It looks as though Emmanuel Adebayor could make the starting lineup for Spurs while Burnley’s captain Jason Shackell could be out.

For tonight’s FA Cup third round replay recent lineup it’s thought that Tottenham Hotspur’s Erik Lamela is in doubt while Michael Duff could be making a return for Burnley.

I think BBC are covering the Ipswich v Southampton match.

This is true... How dare they what a cheek.

Typical BBC, they don't appreciate quality and anyhow their coverage of sport went down the pan years ago!
