That first win back in the big-time with Nottingham Forest continues to elude Ange Postecoglou as he's now gone nine Premier League matches without a victory, his most fruitless run as a top-flight manager across Australia, Japan, Scotland and England.
But the 60-year-old was still more frustrated than dismayed on Saturday about the 1-1 draw at Burnley in which he reckoned he could see distinct improvement in his new charges.
After two defeats, a hammering at Arsenal and a shock League Cup exit at second-tier Swansea, it was at least a relief for Postecoglou on a rain-drenched afternoon at Turf Moor to get a point on the board as his winless streak, featuring two draws and seven defeats, continued.
