Three things we learnt from Burnley’s 2-0 win over Watford

Individual Performances Can Render Tactics Meaningless

An interesting feature of this game was the contrast between Watford’s 3-4-1-2 formation and the 4-5-1 employed by Dyche. However, this was not a game that was won on a dressing room whiteboard, but rather because Burnley kept on winning 50:50s and second balls. They played with greater hunger and determination than the visitors, and Watford’s problems stemmed from too many players losing individual battles.

Jurgen Klopp was a guest on Monday Night Football, and spoke about how managers are nay on powerless to affect events once the players step over the white line. Mazzarri must have had a similar feeling yesterday.
