George Boyd’s average position for the first 15 minutes against West Ham is a complete mystery

Sadly, West Ham's game with Burnley wasn't televised on Wednesday night.

A shame, really. If it had, we might have been able to understand what the hell was going on with George Boyd in the game's opening 15 minutes. After a goalless first quarter of an hour at the London Stadium, the BBC shared an image showing the average positions of the Burnley players. A quick glance makes it quite clear that the visitors had been  bit under the cosh - with one notable exception. While his teammates sat deep in a bid to thwart a West Ham side buoyed by their 2-2 draw at high-flying Liverpool at the weekend, Boyd - wearing the number 21 shirt - appeared to be way up the other end of the field, hugging the right touchline. https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/809126459604430848 Was he having a natter to someone in the front row? For now, we simply haven't got a clue. Perhaps Match of the Day will tell us a bit more later on.
