Elliott, 30, believes the Clarets' 3-3 draw at Manchester City last weekend is proof they can compete regularly at the top level. [LNB]Speaking to the Lancashire Telegrap, he said: "We can look at things we can improve on and lessons we can take forward."[LNB]"Maybe we're learning as we go along, I think we maybe had a tendency to feel we had to score from every attack, and if you're trying to do that against Chelsea, for example, we defended well, but were right up against it.[LNB]"We were winning the ball but giving it away again quite quickly and we were under pressure again. [LNB]"I think we've learned that we have to be brave on the ball, maybe monopolise possession for a bit and give the lads at the back chance to get their shape and get themselves together, instead of us being a little bit ragged and wide open. [LNB]"It's a lot easier said and done, but we showed signs we're evolving at City."[LNB][LNB]
