Burnley winger Dwight McNeil admits he needs to do better off the ball.
The England U21 midfielder acknowledges he can work harder when not in possession.
He said: “I think I'm doing that side of the game better and I want to continue getting better.
“As I've been playing, as I've been learning, I know that the team I'm in at the minute, the way we play, we won't have the ball in most games as much as other teams.
“You've to work as hard without the ball as you do when you have it, especially in our team, it's so important."
McNeil has been key to Burnley's pressing game-plan this season, regularly winning back possession for his side high up the pitch.
“It's all about reading the game and anticipating the pass that the opposition can play and having those pressing triggers," he said.
“We know how good teams are in the Premier League and you've got to press at the right moments.
“You can't press in ones or twos because teams can pick you off and that's the moment they're looking for."
