Crystal Palace legend Salako: De Boer must be arrogant

This proved to be the deciding factor in the match – and now de Boer is 1/5 with SkyBet to be the first Premier League manager sacked this season. “It’s a project and you don’t suddenly throw this overboard when you have a bad start”. They’ll be more than happy to welcome a pointless, and goalless, Crystal Palace to Turf Moor on Sunday.

Along with fellow new signing Nakhi Wells, the pair give Dyche a number of new attacking options which the manager believes will play a crucial role in the campaign ahead.

He also added: “People are frustrated, I’m frustrated, so are the management and players”.

“After that we played how we can play, sometimes with long balls and sometimes on the ground”. Do you get the time? Was he, for instance, about to persist with deploying last season’s right-back Joel Ward, who played every league game for Palace, as a wing-back?

It is something that is an entire footballing cultural change which requires an overhaul of the entire club – from the players that the club have, that they recruit how they are coached and everything in between.

“We have to be responsible and look in the mirror, and you have to take those type of chances”, he said.

“He said: “[The club] know my views as a manager but from the club’s point of view it’s similar but slightly different.

The win gives something to cheer for ailing Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez, who wasn’t at Liberty Stadium after having a procedure on Monday to address an infection resulting from an earlier hernia operation.

Schlupp expertly created space for himself in the area but failed with his shot, McArthur went close with a header, and Heaton had to claim a cross from Lee – hurting himself in the process and leaving the field to be replaced by Nick Pope.

“The only thing is – are we patient enough?” But at this stage, it is just about letting him settle.

“We discussed it and everybody agreed”, he says.

Wood was making his home debut for Burnley. “I like the ones that are playing well and the ones that are scoring goals”. “I think it was quite dynamic”. Four league games into a three-year contract, he may face a decision if the Dutchman has become a millstone. But for most players, it doesn’t work like that. “That takes time. Automatically, so I don’t have to shout from the bench”.

“Everybody I think knows that we deserved more, but of course we conceded a sloppy goal”, he said in his post-match press conference.
