Burnley boss Coyle full of praise for Arsenal's Eduardo

Burnley boss Owen Coyle admits they had little answer to the class of Arsenal's stand-in captain Eduardo during yesterday's FA Cup defeat.

"I wanted the team to be positive," he said. "People pay good money to watch football and we have an obligation to send out our teams to attack.

"We felt comfortable before the opening goal, which came from a mistake by one of our own players.

"However, the finishes were first class for their goals. I watched Eduardo's again on the TV, and it just seemed to get better and better. But you have to analyse it and understand the quality Arsenal have.

"Arsenal play with movement and pace at the very top level - which is why they are in the Champions League on a regular basis because they are a capable of doing that against anyone."
