Burnley v Leicester - Player Ratings

[Swizzlestick]

Bloody hell, we weren't that bad in the first half. Second half was outstanding. We look a far better team with Rodriguez in it, whose clever movement and play really helped us play some football, mercifully. Shout for Hendrick too who, despite being very frustrating on occasion, I thought caused them all sorts of problems. Pope man of the match for obvious reasons.

Pope 9 (MoM)
Taylor 8
Bardsley 7
Mee 5
Tarkowski 7
Hendrick 8
Westwood 7
Cork 7
McNeil 6
Wood 7
Rodriguez 8

Good grief. Somebody on here doesnt even have the balls to leave his/her or it’s ratings do they Mayoclaret ? I wonder why ? Didn’t actually watch the game is my guess.

To be entirely correct you might need balls to be a copper on the streets these day, or to be a frontline medic or fireman or other such roles. You honestly don't need "balls" to post on a football website (I checked the T&Cs on joining UTC messageboard - though if it has changed Claret Tony please let me know!). I never leave player ratings scores myself as I'm not physically present at the match - others who watch via a stream may do and that's absolutely fine. Have followed Clarets sine 1967 and watch every single match via perfect streams (including yesterdays, where, as you will see from fellow posters, Wood's performance was certainly not "below par").

Bardsley 8

Mee 5 (my favorite player but definitely below par today)
Westwood 8

Pope MoM but should have done better for their goal, yet Mee was definitely the culprit for me

A much much needed win.

Perhaps that penalty miss will be as pivotal to us as Taylor’s was to Leicester all those years ago.
Champions League here we come.
