And in demonstrating just how far his players still have to go to mix it in the Premier League, the Clarets boss says it has stopped his players from "putting one foot on the beach" before their season is done.
“The timing of it was impeccable and by that I mean you could have seen the start of the international weeks as like a minibreak where you rest a bit, put one foot on the beach,” he said. But it gives you a shock effect and that’s brilliant.
