Burnley defender Taylor: Kompany stressing positives

Burnley defender Charlie Taylor says manager Vincent Kompany has been stressing the positives ahead of today's clash with Bournemouth.

The Clarets go into the game on a losing run.

But Taylor told the club's website: When you're down at the bottom and things aren't going great. It's natural to get down and it's hard to stay positive. But I think the gaffer as a person is hugely positive in everything, in all aspects. He's big on staying positive, staying together, staying as a team and keep believing.

I think everyone outside the Club has written us off but look as long as we still believe and we believe as a team that we can do it, that we can stay up - that's all that matters really.

Coming off the back of such an unbelievable season last year, I think people just - I'm not saying us - but people on the outside may have just thought we were going to be fine. Look the step up from the Championship to the Premier League is huge, we've seen it in previous years where a lot of teams do struggle. We've struggled but we're still fighting away, we're still working hard every day. I know the table doesn't look good at the minute, but we do honestly believe that we can turn it round and obviously it starts Sunday."
