Not sure what’s going own with the MOTD running order lately but it’s gone all weird. Last week when we played City it was on last (or second to last maybe) and this week they started with Burnley and Sheffield United. At this rate Everton might get on first at some point for the first time in about 10 years.
Burnley finally won at home, but I’m not it should even count as Sheffield United are so fucking hopeless. I knew they’d win this game though because these are basically Championship teams and Burnley ran away with the Championship last season. Of course they were going to win. I wouldn’t have called a 5-0 though, but that’s got a lot to do with the Blades going down to ten men. I’ll get to that.
Burnley went ahead inside 15 seconds through Rodriguez. Not sure that should be his goal though as it didn’t look like it was on target before it hit a defender and went in. How he’s getting credit for that but Trent had his taken away seems a bit daft.
Bruun Larsen made it 2-0 with a strange goal. He’s on the touchline when he receives the diagonal pass but with his first touch he knocked it towards goal and was able to just run towards goal and score. It’s a nice goal, but he looked like he was running in slow motion so how fucking slow must that defender have been?
Then came the sending off. McBurnie is the worst player in the league and I don’t like him, but that’s never a second yellow. The first one might have been a borderline red, but the second one is absolutely fuck all. He’s just gone up for a header and his arm is where it’s meant to be, so nothing sinister in that whatsoever. He was on thin ice because of the first one though so I can see why my boy Chris Kavanagh sent him packing as he must have thought “you absolute dickhead”, which he is.
Amdouni made it 3-0 with a decent finish, Koleosho (a potential ‘my boy’ in the making he is) added a fourth and Brownhill wrapped it up with a lovely strike from outside the box.
So that’s that for Paul (Flippin) HeckI’mBottom then. Chris Wilder is back, but they’re still finishing bottom because they’ve got an awful team and some long term injuries to key players. Burnley are still shit too.
