Burnley rooted to the bottom of the Premier League after back to back defeats against Chelsea and Swansea

Sean Dyche tossed his jacket aside soon after this match started and he’s now going to have to roll up his sleeves if Burnley are going to stay in the Barclays Premier League. 

That’s two games and two defeats for the promoted side. Granted, one was against Chelsea and this was away from home against a side who beat Manchester United last weekend.

But already, at this extremely early stage in the season, the Ginger Mourinho looks like he needs a few more creative thinkers on the pitch. Time and again they held possession – 45 per cent, according to the statistics – but lacked the wit to find a way through a backline that is not as strong as it might need to be.

Manchester United 1 Swansea City 2: Garry Monk's men deserve much more credit after proving everybody wrong, South Wales Evening Post

IF Manchester United are as bad as we have been told since Saturday lunchtime, why did nobody give Swansea City a chance of beating them this weekend?
Because for all the weaknesses within this United side compared to the various top-class teams Sir Alex Ferguson put together, the current crop were still expected to have far too much power for Swansea.
No-one, as Garry Monk pointed out afterwards, thought his team would have a hope in hell of troubling United on the first day of their new era.
Swansea, therefore, deserve more credit than they have received for what goes down as one of their most famous victories regardless of United's current state.
Predictably, Swansea's first ever league triumph at Old Trafford has been met with minimal praise for them and maximum criticism for United.
Last season, David Moyes was carpeted every time the Red Devils dropped points, yet Gylfi Sigurdsson's late winner has not prompted flak for Louis van Gaal.
