Burnley Express

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany didn't need to tell his players anything at half time as they did it for him as his side came back from two goals down to earn a point against Fulham at Turf Moor.

00:00 I guess that's what football is made for.

00:02 First half we didn't start bad at all,

00:07 but kind of out of nothing, one nil down,

00:10 and out of even less, two nil down.

00:13 And then the first half, there was no real momentum in it,

00:18 it didn't really get going anymore.

00:21 But I saw a team at half-time that had character,

00:25 passion, that wanted to fight.

00:27 I think the lads had a go at each other,

00:30 they went out five minutes later and they were in a huddle,

00:34 and they were ready to run their socks off,

00:38 so that's what they did and they got the rewards for it.

00:40 Look, when you concede goals like this,

00:44 it's hard to go on a tactic board and give them a solution straight away,

00:50 but in general I did think that it looks like

00:56 we were carrying a little bit of the City game still into our legs,

00:59 and I thought the biggest message was we just have to go for it.

01:04 Go for it, really go for it.

01:07 We can't ever have any regrets after we play the game,

01:12 and we can't ever leave everything on the pitch, nothing else.

01:17 And that's what they did, to be fair,

01:19 but they didn't need too much encouragement from me

01:22 because they took ownership from it themselves.

01:26 So the mixed feeling is very simple,

01:28 the two goals we conceded can't happen,

01:31 but I've been in the game long enough to know how difficult it is to come back,

01:37 especially at home when you're two goals down

01:39 and you can feel sorry for yourself and it didn't for a second.

01:43 So for that reason, the main note I want to keep

01:50 is one, belief in togetherness is what we'll need until the end of the season

01:53 to have a chance, and as well just the new players

01:57 and the players that came off the bench showed good signs,

02:01 and OK, we move on and try again next game.
