If you haven’t yet had the chance, I would highly recommend taking in a Burnley match before the end of the season.
Vincent Kompany has successfully transitioned the club to a possession based style, with Burnley 5 points clear of 2nd placed Sheffield United after 28 games.

Last night, against WBA - who defend in a 4-4-2 shape - Burnley adopted a 3-3-4 shape when they had controlled possession (with the ball in central/left areas).
Maatsen (LB) dropped to CB. Roberts (RB) pushed into midfield.
Roberts & Bastien had license to drift wide.

This then became a 3-2-5 once the ball was progressed towards the final third. Roberts either attacked in central areas or moved wide with Tella coming inside.
Burnley had 3v2 at the back, 5 against 4 in the attacking line & numbers in Midfield.

You can see how Burnley’s shape created space in central areas (WBA’s RB & CB dragged over to their right hand side, exposing the box) and overloads at the back post.
Kompany is showing signs of developing into a very good coach.
I hear good things about him too
