A clip from @TheCoachesPath shows Burnley manager Vincent Kompany mentoring young Irish defender Luke McNally on the importance of managing distance as a centre-back.

McNally transferred to Clarets during the summer, but has had a tough time Turf Moor, with only two Championship appearances off the bench for the league leaders thus far.

However, seeing the Burnley manager, and one of the Premier League's best ever centre backs, taking time to lecture the Meathman in the art of defending, is an encouraging sign.

Burnley currently enjoy a five point lead at the top of the Championship, after a 1-2 against Swansea yesterday, and after the game, Kompany gave his thoughts on how his side played.

"We started the first half extremely well and recovered a lot of balls and created moment, and changes in transition and out of our possession.

“Then for about 20-25 minutes they were better than us and on top of us. That’s because they changed it, as Swansea do. If you get a press on them and get a hold on them they change it around and move positions.

“We weren’t able to get the same pressure on them. If Swansea have time on the ball then they are going to hurt you. We went a little bit more compact, but that didn’t work massively for us. In the second half it was an even game.

“We got a press on for the full 45 minutes in the second half and that made us a better team. We also had the better chances in the second half, although the result is the most important thing."
