BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche believes his side have to improve in front of goal after the Clarets drew a blank for the fifth time in their last six games in a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Aaron Ramsey's 11th minute goal was enough to give the Gunners victory at Turf Moor.
"We had our moments but you have got to take them and that's what we've found all season," said Dyche,
"I must say, the conditions were tough for both teams with the ball swirling all over the place, and there was a weird feel to the first half, and then second half we got on the front foot, went after them much better, but you have to take your chances.
"We created certainly two good chances, and you have to take them, particularly against Arsenal who don’t give you many."
Dyche wasn't happy with the way the Clarets conceded, with Ben Mee gifting possession to Francis Coquelin in midfield and from the counter attack Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez had efforts blocked before Ramsey was on hand to apply the finishing touch.
"It was an awful goal, but other than that we defended well and limited them to breakaway chances, rather than them building, which they normally do.
"We’ve been been very good lately in keeping the back door shut, and now it’s about that balance between the two."
