Burnley can go to Anfield on Saturday with no pressure on them at all.
No one can honestly say they expected them to have six points after four games.
Going to a place like Anfield is something you have to look forward to anyway. The atmosphere there will be incredible and games like this are the reward for promotion to the Premier League.
You can be sure that Owen Coyle won’t enter the game defensively either, they will have a go at Liverpool and don’t rule them out of springing a surprise either.
I almost expect Burnley to do better in the games you don’t expect them to get anything from. They will be full of confidence and full of belief they can continue their good start.
Did the international break come at a good time? No one knows. Although having been beaten by Chelsea last time out, I am sure they wanted the chance to put that right sooner than later.
The defeat was no disgrace but it has been sitting over them for a fortnight, rather than being forgotten about due to the next match.
I am sure all Burnley fans are looking forward to see David Nugent in the Claret shirt if he gets given his debut on Saturday after signing from Portsmouth on loan.
He shows just how far the club has come. He is a natural goal scorer and you don’t lose that – even if you have been through a bad patch.
Things didn’t go right for him at Portsmouth, there is no doubt about that, but he wasn’t ever really given the chance to turn things around.
When things aren’t going right, a player needs their manager to have confidence in them and to give them a run of games to get their game back. I don’t think David has been given that.
He will get his chance at Burnley and he will prove people wrong. Portsmouth didn’t spend the money they did on him if they thought he was a bad player. When he played for Preston he scored against Burnley and his movement looked good. Being a big Everton fan, he would love to score against Liverpool as well wouldn’t he?
