Interesting tactical video about Burnley's defence setup.
This video explores how Sean Dyche sets up his Burnley team to prevent conceding goals, by way of the low block.

Until I watched this video, I didn’t realise Mee and Tarks were that much bigger than Dyche.
And I think Jack Cork’s been drinking hot chocolate.

It's ok but only highlights half of the job. We haven't scored goals and beaten teams just by sitting in two banks of 4, we've actually attacked teams as well!! The speed of our play when we turn over the ball is terrific. This just paints us as a Pulis team!

An illustrative video, but only explains some of the effects on the opposition that when in shape, such positioning has. There's a lot more to what we do than is covered in this presentation.

Not
How Burnley play football all the time
I'm guessing that would need a video longer than 3 min

I agree Stanshorse. It looks at one aspect. The title is a bit of a giveaway!
