'Impossible task' for Hayen but 'he's not helping himself'

Burnley's winless start to the season puts them bottom of the Championship but it's not what was expected.

The side are benefitting from parachute payments and have achieved four promotions to the top flight since 2014.

So is new boss Nicky Hayen to blame? Fan Natalie Bromley thinks the Belgian has "been handed the most impossible of tasks" after a late appointment and a "disastrous" summer transfer window.

However, Hayen is not off the hook either.

"He's not helping himself either. We've got very muddled team selection, players playing out of position, players who clearly are not performing well and not working in certain structures still being picked again the game after," Bromley said.

"He made six changes on Saturday talking about fitness and squad rotation - we are in September. It's game, what, five?

"He's very famous for high press, we haven't seen any of that yet. The players look like they don't know what they are doing, the shape and the tactics look disjointed and there is no energy."
