It was very disappointing but as others have said if we'd lost to Man City and
beaten Burnley we'd still have 6 points which is not a bad return from the games so far. just a shame though to gift them the game with such a terrible start. I'm not sure I agree with the "need to learn" line. I suppose they do need to learn that if you are not on your game you will get punished at this level but we've had 6 games now so you'd hope they would realise that.
I'm also not sure they should need to learn that marking the opposition's centre forward is important, especially against a side like Burnley because you know that the threat comes through Wood and Barnes from crosses. I think we just made a really sloppy start where we were not focussed at the back and it cost us the game.
