Bamford post-match reaction

Bamford post-match reaction

“It’s always tough coming here because, you don’t want to be disrespectful, but you know what you’re going to get when you play against Burnley.

“They do make it difficult and it’s a bit of a fight and it was a fight all game. I think we definitely deserved a point, we created a lot of chances but I think we’ll be happy with a point to be fair.”

Bielsa post-match reaction

Bielsa post-match reaction: “I thought it was a very disputed game. The game, apart from two segments in the middle of each half, we managed to manage it.

“The situations we created at goal were a lot but for them as well. The difference is that for us to play well we need our creative players to be on top of their game.

“In the case of our opponent today, it was similar to Everton. Today it was a more marked way, they had three resources that were important.”
