James Tarkowski admits Everton gave the Clarets a wake-up call they can’t ignore if they are to steer clear of relegation danger.
The Merseysiders’ 5-1 win at Turf Moor on Boxing Day left Burnley firmly in the Premier League’s drop-zone as they conceded five times at home since Manchester City dished out six of the best in April, 2010.
An honest Tarkowski knows there can’t afford to be a repeat if the Clarets are to stage a revival in the second half of the campaign.
And he is demanding an upturn in performances from himself and his team-mates to turn things around.
