Burnley 5-0 Sheffield United: What Heckingbottom said

  • Published

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom speaking to Sky Sports: "We plan and pick a team who can handle and impose ourselves on the game. We wanted to put a marker down in our duels.

"We dangled two legs and we were down within 30 seconds. The second goal was not too much better. Then we lost a man with two yellow cards. We made it easier for Burnley than they would have expected."

On Oli McBurnie's red card: "We all know the rules. You can't appeal the yellows, you have to be careful. You have to know you can't raise your arms."

On playing Liverpool on Wednesday: "Sometimes it's a good thing, we can't be feeling sorry for ourselves. It looked like one or two [players] were towards the end."

On his future at the club: "There has been talk and speculation on that since the start of September. I'm the wrong man to ask. I'll just continue doing what we're doing with the resources we've got.

"I can always hold my head up high. I always give my best. That won't change."
