De Premier League is de Pintjesliga niet: Defour snakt naar adem in Engeland

Steven Defour werd in de wedstrijd tegen Chelsea na 55 minuten gewisseld. Hij had duidelijk veel last met het hoge tempo. De fans van Burnley menen dat de Rode Duivel niet helemaal fit is en uiten toch al wat hun ongenoegen ...

@bodenknights why are you surprised!Not replaced DJ,Defour still finding his feet,Marney off injured and no depth in the squad.2 CMs needed

@adamjtyer I was there - fair comment. Pulled apart by Chelsea's width. Defour still adjusting to pace of game but will come good

@burnleypete to be fair the display against a very poor Swansea team was more of a worry than today that and the fact that Defour looks shot

@Rob44665392 get why he needs to be replaced, just expect more from Boyd and Arfield though, and need Defour to get fitter

Defour linking up with the Belgian squad is bad news for us. I would rather him stay here and get fully fit #twitterclarets

@Lanky2902 issue is if anyone signs now, as seen with Defour, will be weeks before they are 'Dyche fit' and capable of lasting 90 minutes

Having said that - Burnley have actually been much better since 18-year-old O'Neill replaced Defour....

O'Neill done more in 5 than Defour did in 55

Can Burnley only afford Defour's wages for 55 minutes per game? #twitterclarets

Sign of how high-tempo PL is - Defour moves from Belgian league and struggles to last an hour.
