"Of course, there's faults in our game - bits of quality in the final moments and the way we conceded goals - and we have to sharpen up, I'm weak in my words because we've again lost a game despite so many positives. It goes down as a 3-1 loss on paper, but it doesn't feel like that was a fair reflection. The fight goes on. We'll keep nailing down where we need to improve, and keep doing the good things we're doing to keep going."
"I don't need to speak to him. He makes the decisions, and we support him. If he scores, everyone says 'what a great penalty'. As a striker, you always have to make decisions, and he made so many good decisions."
Burnley sit 19th in the Premier League with three wins and a 10-match winless run, eight defeats within that run leaving them six points adrift of safety. A 3-1 loss to Newcastle extended the poor run, though the performance contained positives alongside errors in conceding and lapses in quality at decisive moments. The squad will address weaknesses while maintaining the effective aspects of recent displays as they travel to face Brighton. Brighton are also struggling, winless in six following a 2-2 draw with West Ham in which Danny Welbeck scored and missed a penalty; Welbeck received backing for his penalty decision.
