Burnley boss Sean Dyche: Back to basics key to form upturn

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was pleased with last week's 0-0 draw at Leicester City.

The Clarets recovered from shipping 13 goals in three games against Manchester City, Chelsea and West Ham by earning their third clean sheet of the season in the goalless draw with Leicester.

“Back to basics isn't glib, it's relevant, because we had to look at that – do you run before you can walk?" he explained.

“Let's walk first, make sure we're doing all the fundamentals of what the team does to operate, to get back to a performance.

“There were some not there, there's still more to come, but it was more solid, the organisation, the shape, the energy of the team, the will, the desire, all the things we're well respected for," added Dyche of his side's performance at the King Power Stadium in their last game before the latest international break.

“And there were some good moments of play as well, I still think we can improve with the ball, I still think we can add that cutting edge, when we get in the top third."
