Burnley 0-0 Portsmouth - Tactical Analysis

A 0-0 draw at home to Portsmouth probably wasn't how Fabio Celestini would have hoped his tenure would start, but he at least managed to lay some solid foundation blocks moving forwards.
There were a few positives on display - particularly in the first half - but with nothing to show for them, there's now added importance on Tuesdays trip to QPR.
He hasn't got long to chew the fat on Saturday's performance, so we've lended a helping hand and picked out one are in particular where the Clarets struggled on Saturday.
Success under Nicky Hayen very often come down the wings, but Celestini ripped up that approach and opted for a narrower one, and in truth, it was probably clear it was one the players didn't quite know how to approach.
