Relief!
Wasn't pretty, wasn't comfortable but it's 3 points and that's the most you can get.
Consolidating the Arsenal result was vital and in terms of that, job done.
Matip clearly the MotM, tremendous display, which considering we were playing Burnley isn't a glowing report for our lads. Thought there were many poor performances out there but head and shoulders below them all was Nathaniel Clyne, most over-rated player in this squad by a country mile.
Milner wasn't much better and despite the assist I thought Origi was poor too. Mane good in the first half hour, Lallana good in the first half, Emre Can after a poor first 30 was actually very good for the last hour and a lovely goal.
Coutinho surprisingly poor but even with all that we got the 3 points and sometimes you have to win ugly and we did today.
Edit: Missed Klavan off who was also very good, a little shaky early on but after the first 20 mins thought he was good too.
