The least said about today’s match, the better.
It started badly, conceding 5 minutes into the game, but the first half was not especially insipid, with only a very weak looking (I’ve not watch again) penalty adding further.
The scene for the second half though was set almost immediately, with a third pretty much direct from the restart. As it pissed in through the roof of the Longside, Arsenal seemed weirdly better acclimatised to the Burnley microclimate of the two sides. I’m hoping the red artefacts on a couple of the photos do not mean that my iPhone died, along with any lingering hope of at least picking up some momentum in the back end of the season.
It got worse too, Ramsey stretchered off early in the second half with bits of one of his legs pointing in different directions to the rest of it. Safe to say his season is over.
Really difficult to find anything positive to talk about. Berge put in the usual shift in central midfield, O’Shea had decent patches of play, Amdouni managed to fall over and block an Arsenal shot. At least Jay showed a bit of fight when he came on - really hope that is not his last performance in claret and blue.
Can’t wait for this season to be over, but on that performance, next season might be just as shit.
