I would hate to support these two teams as it seems to me that the players only turn up when they feel like it and don't give a hoot about the manager.

This is what I love about Dyche, we know we will get their best, even their exhausted best sometimes but still their best, because the whole club is a team working together.

Arsenal 5-0 Burnley

Leicester 3 Arsenal 1

Crystal Palace 5 Leicester 0

The whole Arsenal team worked together in 2003-2004, Leicesters worked together in 2015-2016, all clubs have highs and lows, lets not pretend the whole of our club has worked together always. We've had our fair share of lazy unsettled sides over the years. Football didn't start 5 years ago, lets not pretend it did.

Can you explain why we didn’t turn up on Sunday, as you say we will get their best ?

Exhaustion after a season of performing miracles IMO

Because that game was the equivalent of being in the office at 4:30pm on a Friday when you've just aced a presentation you've been working on all month and as a result you're boss has just given you a pay rise the day before you go on holiday.

You're already wondering what to order from the hotel bar and anyone here who wouldn't be doing the same is a robot.

In a way it did for most supporters today this is the first time we have a group who are together and fight for the shirt. Will it last forever, probably not just as it didn't for Man U after Alex.

For now it is a joy to see things being done right.

Has anyone noticed how Shite Tarkowski has been since Ben Mee got injured a bit like Michael Keane without Ben,think out of the three Ben Mee might just.....just mind you be the best....there is something in it!

He's playing on his weaker side to acomodate Long.

All good things come to an end, nothing lasts forever. Football snobbery to point fingers at other clubs for not ''being together and fighting for the shirt'' when we've also had similar problems ourselves in the past. I'm not sure why you mentioned Leicester either, they pulled off an absolute miracle 2 years ago by being together and fighting for the shirt.

How have I?

Exhaustion and 'can't be arsed' are not the same

More than exhaustion in a few cases by the looks of it. Tarkowski, Ward and possibly Cork appear to be nursing (minor) injuries of some sort or another. Lennon's in/out start to the season at Everton is showing now as he appears to be struggling to sustain the physical levels required.

As has been pointed out previously the main reason Hendrick looked like the 'best' player on Sunday was that he's the only one who's had a bit of a break.

Definitely need reinforcements before EL next season then
