Look at how Vincent Kompany transformed Burnley from defensive Dycheball to a progressive, entertaining team in a single summer.
I thought you hated possession based football?
The video analysis says that Burnley play almost the same style of football as we do, just with much better and fitter players.
1. A lot of possession
2. A lot of short passes
3. Building slowly and patiently from the back
4. Forcing opposition to move from side to side until a gap opens
The difference between Swansea and Burnley?
Burnley have an excellent goalkeeper and much better defenders than Swansea.
Arijanet Muric save % is 71.8, Steven Benda's 60.9.
They have Connor Roberts and we have Joel Latibeaudiere and Matty Sorinola.
They are clinical in front of goal and ruthless at the back.
Swansea have slightly more shots and shots on target this season and yet Burnley have scored 15 goals more than Swansea. Burnley are best at goal conversion in The Championship. 15.06 % of all shots are converted into goals. Swansea goal conversion is 11.2 %.
Swansea allow as many shots against per game as Burnley and yet we have conceded 12 goals more than Burnley. Though, Swansea have conceded 12 shots on target more than Burnley. It seems that all of these shots on target conceded have ended in the Swansea net.
All of this is pointing at the lack of quality in the Swansea squad.
Burnley are first and Swansea second at gegenpressing, but Burnley are best in the Championship when it comes to build-up disruption, whilst Swansea are mediocre in this department.
They are fitter and I bet their back four don't lack pace.
Burnley are, together with Stoke, the best pressing team, but Swansea are not far away when it comes to pressing.
The difference in allowed passes per defensive action is insignificant: Burnley 10.93, Swansea 11.73
