Shearers analysis of Burnley on MOTD last night was telling. The amount of goals theyve conceded from the keeper playing it out from the back is crazy. The definition of madness doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result. I know Kompany has his principles and the way he wants to play but they clearly didn’t have the quality of player required to play that way at the top level.

That said if they can keep that squad together I think they will walk automatic promotion next season. They’ve got some good young talent, especially in the forward areas and they won’t be punished defensively like they have been this season.
