What I like about Dyche is his realistic approach in the market. Filled his side with work rate, purchased a balanced midfield, has aerial presence so instead of signing any old left winger/versatile player, he signs Robbie Brady who has as good a dead ball delivery in the league to try and utilize that advantage.

Simplistic, honest approach, and he deserves the plaudits. Hopefully establishes Burnley as a PL club for many years to come.
 
Was bound to be a difficult season imo. Take out 3 major key players from that title winning side and was only gonna go one way.
 
Chelsea on the other hand, it's hard to judge as it was a brainless decision from Cahill. However, that's no excuse to fall apart like that. The lack of signings and starting with Morata on the bench is only going to annoy the fans even more.

Don't get me started on Matic. Who in their right mind thinks he is old, burned out, and other stupid **** they said about him after leaving.
I have a feeling the atmosphere at the club is tense at the moment, and you could see that so far in the game. We need to sort this **** out until Conte decides to pack his bags and leave us.

Conte has form too. It's exactly why he left Juventus after winning yet another title.
 
Morata changed the game tbh. Looks tailor-made for that lone striker role, not sure why Conte's so hesitant to throw up him in from the off
 
Chelsea made a good fight of it, but truth be told Burnley were the better team even before Chelsea had players sent off. They were pretty much the better team right up until Morata came on. Which is why it is baffling why it took Conte so long for Morata to come on?

Anyway, credit to Chelsea for making a fight of it.

But what a result for Burnley, this is their biggest ever result in the PL away from home. It's almost Iceland-esque.

I will not argue the first part since I agree, but I don't think it's the case of form here. It's a clusterfuck of decisions made by the club regarding signing Conte's targets, and Conte shipping out players before having a clear picture of how the squad will shape out for the current season.

Matic wanted to leave. Club did not want him to go.
 
People need to calm down and assess the situation at the end of the window. We started slowly last season as well. I expect 4 more players to come in. Hazard and Bakayoko still getting back to fitness as well.
 
I feel there is signings needed urgently for Chelsea, especially when you consider the players you now have unavailable due to unjuries and suspension. Considering your next fixtures are: -

Tottenham - Away

Everton - Home

Leicester - Away

Arsenal - Home

Stoke City - Away

Tricky next 5 fixtures that, your season could be a big struggle if you don't get players in.

Signings are needed but thats no reason to panic. The best deals are always found at the end of the transfer window. Alonso and Luiz came on transfer deadline day last summer and won us the league. Thankfully clubs are run by executives who don't completely panic after one game.
 
The best deals are rarely found at the end of the window. Exceptions do not prove the rule.
 
Take for example the Barkley and Ox situation. Both into the last year of their contracts. Club are waiting till as close as possible to deadline day to strike a bargain deal. So late into the window and facing the risk of losing them for nothing next summer, Arsenal and Everton will likely take whatever is on the table at that point.

Really? That's a very dodgy strategy to have!
