Vincent Kompany defended his decision to throw so many new players together whilst some senior players stayed on the bench in the 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa.
Burnley have bought 13 players this summer and all of the Clarets starters yesterday bar one have been signed by the Belgian in the last 14 months, with experienced quartet Josh Brownhill, Jack Cork, Jay Rodriguez and Johann Berg Gudmundsson all named as substitutes.
Naturally there was a lack of cohesion but Kompany insists it's better for his team to get used to the required level in the Premier League as quickly as possible even though Burnley have lost their first couple of matches, both at Turf Moor.
