Burnley boss Coyle vows to attack Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

29 August 2009 00:04
Owen Coyle will not ask his Burnley side to park the bus in front of goal when they play at Chelsea on Saturday. More of the same please: Burnley celebrate their Carling Cup victory at Chelsea last season. Coyle's desire to attack was rewarded when Burnley beat Chelsea in a Carling Cup penalty shoot-out at Stamford Bridge last season - and he wants a repeat. Coyle said: 'I remember playing up in Scotland against teams like Rangers and Celtic and we went for a 0-0 draw. 'I decided then that, when I had a team, whoever we were playing against I would look to win the game. 'Going up against the Manchester Uniteds, Liverpools and Chelseas, trying to defend for 90 minutes is pointless, as they will pick you off anyway. 'I would rather lose a game than go into a match contributing nothing. At least then you know you have tried to win a game. 'Chelsea won't underestimate us, for a number of factors. We knocked them out of the Carling Cup when we went there last year, and the Drogbas and the Lampards were all playing. They saw what we had in the locker.'
