Burnley’s Mee not panicking about winless run
Burnley’s six-game winless run in all competitions will not cause panic when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League today, defender Ben Mee said.
Sean Dyche’s side have lost two and drawn three of their past five Premier League fixtures and were also knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend in a 4-1 defeat at Manchester City.
However, their two league defeats were against Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool - both chasing Champions League qualification - while one of the draws was at Manchester United, who are second in the table.
“We haven’t picked up a win, but we’ve been to Old Trafford and drawn, we’ve played against a tough Tottenham side who were very good, and we got a good away draw at Huddersfield as well,” Mee was quoted as saying on the club’s website burnleyfootballclub. com. “So we are actually picking up points away from home and we were unlucky in the last minute against Liverpool. We’ve been playing well, so we’re not really taking that too much to heart. “I thought we performed really well (at Manchester City) and showed everybody that we can mix it. I think we’ve shown that throughout the season, to be fair. “The stats might say no wins in six, but we’ve got three draws out of that and it’s not all doom and gloom.” Burnley sat sixth in the Premier League, above Arsenal and level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham, prior to their current winless run.
