​Burnley manager Dyche admits Cornet needs time to adapt

Burnley manager Sean Dyche admits summer signing Maxwell Cornet needs time to adapt to the club and English football.

The former Lyon man received his full debut for the club against Rochdale in the Carabao Cup.

A fantastic four-goal showing from Jay Rodriguez helped Burnley to a comfortable 4-1 success.

Asked about Cornet post-game, Dyche told reporters, per Lancs.Live: "Definitely that side with the minutes into his legs because the Premier League is a quicker tempo than that and you don't always have as much possession as that.

"He has to adapt to that and get used to it but some of his runs and movement was very good and he got himself five or six ,chances which is pleasing from a wide area and he stretches the pitch as well which we still want our wide players to do and he does that naturally.

"But it still takes time and his defensive side still needs work and you can see that there are good early signs for him and for us."
