Brentford heaped the pressure on Vincent Kompany during Saturday afternoon’s Premier League Game Week 9.
Not only did the Clarets come into this weekend’s match-up at the Community Stadium in the league’s relegation zone, but after suffering another crushing 3-0 defeat, Kompany’s side now face a huge challenge to climb their way back to safety.
An opening goal from Yoanne Wissa set the tone before second-half strikes from Bryan Mbeumo and Saman Ghoddos sealed the tie and ensured all three points would be staying in London.
And BBC presenter Gary Lineker delivered a brutal assessment of Burnley’s latest poor showing, which saw them battered by 23 efforts on goal by the Bees.
“It was a drubbing really, wasn’t it?” Lineker asked fellow pundit Micah Richards in the aftermath of yesterday’s result.
“Just look at the total shots and shots on target. It’s all the evidence you need isn’t it, Micah?”
I have to agree, much to my dismay. I know we blitzed the championship last year but we seem to have gone a bit stale this year. I know VK is still in his managerial infancy, but perhaps he should think of throwing in a bit of route one football along with the tippy/ happy passing from the back. A life long Burnley fan.
