“Out fought and out thought” “A newly promoted team playing football. It is possible Sean !!! “It’s a sad day when we stop seeing Sheffield United as relegation rivals during their first season in the top division. That’s very worrying in itself” “November and we have already given up on teams like Sheffield United” “beat the ones around us and don’t worry about the top 6, which includes Sheff Utd.” “A shocker.. but can’t take anything away from Sheffield United. Chris wilder spot on”



“Firstly – well done Chris Wilder – what a good manager he is and what a fantastic job he’s doing. Reminds me of our first PL season under Sean but with a cutting edge. That being said they will find the second half of the season far tougher than the first so they need to rack-up as many points as they possibly can before the turn of the year.”



“I thought they started very impressively, but it’s concerning that we had no clue how to deal with them and that basic balls in the channel caused complete mayhem. They’ve been playing the same way for a good few years. We’re also fairly useless against a midfield 5. Note that no strikers scored today.

I think we should acknowledge that they were excellent but it doesn’t make me feel any better after that.” “Sheffield realised our full backs were the weak link and exploited this to the fullest.” “There are bad days, and there are bad days to be fair.

That was a bad day.” “That was one of the worse performances I have seen from a Burnley Team.” “0 shots on target. That is pathetic.

Worryingly can think of multiple games just last season that this happened. Istanbul, Wolves and Man City at least from memory.

That is the worse stat of all from today.” “When teams like Sheffield United,a newly promoted club have sussed out your weakest links and expose them for what they are,have after all this time Dyche and his tactics have been sussed by everyone,we never mix it up,a weakness everyone has sussed,we made them look like world beaters today in that first half” “They are not exactly mugs and have surprised pretty much everyone this season. Mixing it up is one thing but not getting used to an opponent with an unusual set up and making basic errors is why we lost today.”

“We were completely overrun in midfield” “We never once drove at the Sheff Utd back line creating an angle, an overlap or taking a man out of the game.

We looked slow, weak, ponderous and lacking in any sort of an idea.

It’s not over reaction to say this has very much been coming.

We are a very reactive side, who dont change personnel or tactics regardless of opposition.

We dont seem to exploit weaknesses the opposition may have, nor do we try anything different, and by that I mean approach play, free kicks, corners etc.

An extremely poor day at the office, and if we dont change the starting 11 and/or approach soon it could prove very costly.

Final point, can we please look to improve the first 11, it’s been 2, maybe 3 windows where we haven’t moved forwards in terms of quality or style regards with people we bring in, in the starting 11.” “I had to endure this in the home end and it was embarrassing to hear the opinions of the Blades fans on us, and I didn’t blame them at all for what I heard.” “We have the worst style of play in the league by some distance. There is little to no variation either and we are all too predictable.”
