There are eleven Burnley players in that pic

so Krul + 2 others are unmarked, not being pressed & can move the ball around & look for an opening.

For their first goal Burnley had four attackers pressing six NC defenders
And the scorer even had the option of passing to two unmarked (& onside) colleagues rather than shoot.

It may be an unpopular view, but our biggest problem on Sat was gifting the oppo a goal, rather than any inability to get the ball forward.
