SEAN Dyche insisted he had no problem with Burnley’s critics after their 4-0 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane offered a scathing assessment of the Clarets’ performance, with the 49-year-old saying on Sky Sports “I could play in that game” as they went in trailing 3-0 at half-time.

“He probably could have,” Dyche said when asked about Keane’s comments yesterday. “I don’t know if you remember but he was pretty decent, to be fair. It wouldn’t surprise me if he could have.

“I don’t have a problem with people questioning us. It’s part of their jobs. They’re pundits for a reason, they have a voice, they have a say. Everyone has got an opinion.

“It’s one of the strangest jobs where people are always telling you what you’re doing wrong. I don’t go to the doctors and tell him what he’s doing wrong, or my lawyers, or my solicitors, but apparently with football managers everybody thinks they can do better than us.

“But I’ve no problem with Roy Keane or anybody else.”

Dyche’s side need to quickly put that game to one side, however, with Champions League-chasing Leicester visiting Turf Moor tomorrow before Arsenal head north at the weekend.

Burnley’s cause hasn’t been helped by an a growing injury list with Erik Pieters, Robbie Brady, Ashley Barnes and Johann Berg Gudmundsson all missing the Spurs clash – although fit-again Chris Wood and Dale Stephens both featured as second-half subs.

“I am worried about the injuries, we can’t get everyone fit and we’re coming up against a Leicester side who are having their fair share of it too,” said Dyche.

“We’ve been having it for a long period now but we’ve come through that still putting wins on the board, still putting points on the board and we’ve stayed strong through this period.”

“With three (games) in a week it’s a tough call,” Dyche said. “They’re close, especially Johann and Robbie, but it is tight. We just keep losing players constantly so we’ll probably have to make a call on it and see if they’re on the right side of it.”
