Potentially awkward game comfortably dealt with. Frustrating for a bit but mostly just a solid performance. Burnley never got a sniff - not that they were interested in doing anything more than parking the bus and complaining. A truly irritating football team that we, thankfully, demolish every time they turn up.
Dyche can prattle on like, "When you come here, to this corrupt stadium, you don't expect much, bla bla bla I like to eat worms", etc. But half his lads were just chucking themselves over at the slightest touch and expecting to be given free-kicks from shouting loudly enough?
Steffen good, Cancelo okay, Stones good, Laporte good, Ake okay, Rodri great, Bernardo great, De Bruyne flat, Sterling flat, Mahrez unlucky, Foden okay. Just an average day out. The first games after international breaks are always shite and potentially a banana skin, so I'll take the three points and move on.
