If you look at the actual quality of football this season we are so far behind City and Liverpool, it’s amazing that we’ve stayed close to them for so long. A result like this was always coming, when was the last time we flew out of the traps and tore someone apart? We’ve been scrapping away and put half-chances in the net but we haven’t had a top class 90 minutes for months.
Games like this are where Dembele’s absence becomes painful, Sissoko is a grafter but he belongs in Burnley’s midfield more than ours. It’s hard to get Son and Kane in the game when there is so little quality behind them.
