By the end of the season Aurier will be an excellent right back and our first choice. He still looks rusty from time to time but he’s clearly learning the league and our tactics. Thought he was very good today save for one error.

I just want to take this opportunity to wish a very merry Christmas to all the level headed, kneejerk free, sensible posters in here.

The three of you know who you are :woot:

No seriously, have a good one everyone!

Burnley manager Sean Dyche speaking BT Sport: "The best side won on the day. They're a top class side - they did the basics. They showed us respect by showing they would have to earn the win.

The yellow card for Dele Alli - whether it could have been a red?

"It was a tough one - Dele Alli is out of control - he was never going to get the ball. Number of years ago that was just a big challenge, but it's a tough one today - an orange card.

"The penalty was a tough one but generally they get given. I think it was a penalty after Barnes was fouled.

"The one person I've not mentioned is Harry Kane - he's a fantastic player. He must be up there with one of the best strikers in the world.

"You lick your wounds today. They turned up and we didn't quite. Overall, I know where the club is at. We have to be really happy where the club is at."

I know I have mentioned it a lot of late, but it's no surprise to me that we had a very good away performance as soon as we brought the press back. Burnley have only conceded 6 goals at home so far this season including the 3 today, which tells you just how good a result that was.

I've just envisaged that conversation - in my head with an image of Dyche gargling a pint glass of pea shingle.

A good win in the end and the scoreline certainly didn't flatter us. I must admit the longer it stayed at 1-0 with us missing a string of really easy chances to put the game to bed I had an uneasy feeling we would eventually rue them and they would get a breakaway equaliser with one chance and with 10 mins to go. Thankfully that scenario was avoided when Kane netted the second and then third. Two points each gained on Arsenal and Liverpool and Chelsea and 3 points from Burnley who are up there so all in all a very profitable weekend for us.

He just needs a run of games. I'd play him against Southampton too.

Can't find an exact thread for this so I'll put it here. The missus just made some exceptionally good gingerbread men. I've never had so much fun nibbling on a man's digit before

I'm confident Harry will fill his boots against SCBC on Tuesday, although I wished the WH game was still in the timeframe. To allow a few extras in there.

That is a very good result and performance and to think how many more we could have add.
Got our GD back after last weekend too and Chelsea, Pool and Arse all dropping points so all in a good weekend so far. Lets hope it continues over Christmas

Well played lads, got to win our next 3....!
