Squad

Tempers go at Burnley

Lucio Falasco was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

When it matters, Lucio Falasco plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

The Alejandro Garnacho story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Alejandro Garnacho signs something — a contract at Burnley or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Joseph Grant breaks a bone — 99 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 99 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Quilindschy Hartman has been here 13 seasons

494 appearances across 13 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad

Jakub Jendryka says Burnley went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Lucio Falasco in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burnley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Burnley come up short against Brentford

Brentford left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Tyrone Omotoye

Marked 8.20 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
