[Saba Sports News] After being crowned champions of
the English Championship League last season, Burnley splurged 111 million euros
on signings during the summer. However, the results have been disastrous. After
eight rounds, Burnley have only managed to accumulate four points, making them
the favorites for relegation. The most concerning aspect is that Burnley have
lost all five of their home games so far in the new season. According to stats
from data company Squawka, Burnley have become the fifth team in the history of
England’s top league to achieve this unfortunate record. The most recent team
to do so was Newcastle United during the 2018-2019 season. As a result of their
poor performances, Coach Vincent Kompany is currently facing a coaching crisis.
However, some fans have come to Kompany’s defence, stating that Burnley’s five
home opponents have been Manchester City, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester
United, and Chelsea – all teams with strong European competition capabilities.
Therefore, it is considered normal to lose consecutive games against such tough
opponents.
