We were lucky that we got the Leicester-Burnley match live in Mauritius.To my assessment, Burnley is not a bad team. The players had the fighting spirit and with luck, Leicester scored four goals. Some goals could have been avoided.We could have scored a third goal but most, unfortunately, luck evaded us.
Burnley had fielded a strong defence even though our international could not be fielded because of injury .Our newcomer in the central defence stole the show and to gratify us even scored a goal.
Burnley play long balls and that greatly destabilise the adverse defence , unfortunately, we cannot hold the ball for long ,We lose within minutes and that causes much disarray to our players as the ball remains for long in the custody of the opposing team .
it was our first match and as such we have to learn a lot of lessons from it . Our second match will be different .and surely we shall come with a win.
one sad part of the story is that we have not acquired new players besides a goalkeeper who will occupy the third tier . We have time and at least we should get a couple of new players.We understand that nothing is cheap but we should try on some affordable players.

The absence of Ben Mee and Tarks played against us .Their presence would have fortified the defence ,
