Liverpool v Burnley

Yep the Burnley comeback is on again in the relegation zone a while back now if it stays the same up to 16th seven point ahead of Fulham.
 
Burnley have got to be the most boring team to watch, it's the same every game.

Try and keep in 0-0 until the 70th minute and try and score from set piece towards the end.

Their best tactic is winning a free kick 30 yards from goal and hoping for the best.
I take it you didn't watch the match then. Burnley were excellent defensively. Against the riches of Liverpool and their attack you can't do better than that. Remember Dyche had a load of players leave who wouldn't sign contracts at the start of the season.
It was actually an intriguing game to watch
 
Looking forward to seeing what excuses Klopp comes up with. And where did Mike Dean fnd the extra minute from. 4 minutes added on and he played 5. No time wasting, no subs in that time.
No more than 2 minutes extra time. Burnley were colossal defensively. An absorbing game to watch for the semi neutral

I was wondering that myself 20s, I’m sure there are some advantages to being a big club, or do we just imagine it.
 
Have you guys heard about the presenter on sky sports having a mare? He said after the game it is a barnstormer of a game for Barnsley, I know Barnsley and Burnley can easily get mixed up but i have to rewind it 2-3 times it was funny 😂

See Chizzy has now set a new radio presenter level of excellence. In future any commentator messing up will be doing a Chizzy. Bit like t.vs David Colemanballs for those old enough to remember
 
I've been disappointed with some of the stuff Dyche has said recently but he's spot on tonight.
 
Klopp becoming the new Wenger - pressure starting to mount with his rather bizarre post match interview where he blamed himself repeatedly for the result. I would guess that means that his players are going to get a massive bollocking. The loss of Van Dijk is the season changer for Liverpool and I guess Klopp would have a right to feel sore about that. A spate of injuries has exposed how shallow his squad really is along with a discontented Salah and a mis-firing Firminio. Shaquiri and Origi are not adequate replacements for what he is missing ATM.
It's easy to be generous when you are winning every game, we will now get to see what he is really like. I noticed he was shouting at Dyche as they walked off, probably telling him he hadn't read the script and his team was supposed to roll over.
 
Maybe if we had put more men behind the ball instead of having a go we might just have survived? It might not be great to watch but it’s about surviving and carving results out and if Burnley survive (again) every credit to them fully deserved.

Dyche said it was exactly that. Criticised him putting 10 men behind the ball.

Agree with your last para. Sums up Klopp perfectly. Very gracious to the opposition when he is beating them but very critical of them when getting beat. I suppose that's what makes him a winner though. My concern from an England pov is the form of TTA. Really rate him and i hope he doesn't turn out to be a player who bursts onto the scene and looks so good but then his form dips and he can't get back to the level he was at.

Every player is going to have dips in form and it is no surprise that for TTA a personal dip in form coincides with a team dip in form as confidence ebbs away. He is good going forward but defensively is not so great.
IMO playing Henderson at centre back is a large part of Liverpool's problem ATM. Given that he runs further than any other EPL player in a match and is also brilliant at slotting in when a defender makes a forward run, he is a massive loss in a team that plays a pressing game like LFC. And of course teams have worked Liverpool out to an extent, Allardytce and now Dyche just sitting behind the ball for 90 minutes. It is a great season for the neutral, there are about 6 teams who could realistically win the league. Man City favorites for me ATM.

I think Henderson has only played 1 game as CB? Could be wrong on that. Matip played last night
 
Just seen Liverpool hadn't lost at Anfield in the Premier League since APRIL 2017.

I can't believe it was Burnley of all clubs who ended that run.
 
Poor performance carrying far too many passengers at the moment. Even the normally reliable Alexander-Arnold was sloppy in his play at times. Firmino is clearly struggling and it is difficult to see what Shaqiri offers.

Ok watched a bit of it but didn't pay too much attention. Whatever is happening they are lacking something, I thought Henderson and Fabhinio had partnered in the last few games. Noticed that Fabhinio was at fault for the goal along with no pressure on the ball for the header that preceeded the penalty.

Yes it's fairly normal for a young player to have a dip in form at some point. Just like it's normal for a team to have a dip in form at some point. I don't see how Liverpool fans can have much to complain about though as it's the first bad patch they've had for 3 seasons. That consistency can't go on forever. City like Liverpool had two seasons of incredible consistency, and even they had a relatively poor season last year. It's virtually impossible to keep that intensity and consistency going over such a long period.
 
fair play to burnley the defended well very little ambition going forward just took there chance liverpool its just not happening for them this year with injuries and loss of form the season overall has been poor quality in the prem but its made it very open i just hope united dont win it as theyve been bang average and wanting to get rid of there manager for half of it.

Yep agree with that. At the moment it's City for me too. Shows what a lousy tipster I am. Not long back I was saying I expected Liverpool to run away with it again. At this point it is wide open and you could make a strong case for at least four teams to win it and ten there's another three or so who you can't rule out. That's why I love the PL and defend it against it's many critics on here.

Completely agree that the big reason for recent results is the loss of Dick Van Dijk. He gives them so much more stability and confidence, and it also puts Fabino back in midfield, where is much more suited and has more influence.
The front 3 have been stuttering for a while, to the point they look almost desperate and trying too hard.
I would imagine they will be looking around for a top striker in the next week or so; maybe someone taller as a target man, as they are putting in loads of crosses, with no one able to make any impact, against packed defences full of 6 foot 4 defenders.

Why don't you give Klopp a ring and give him the benefit of your wisdom? It's easy this football management 😆
Agree with you about Van Dijk btw. You can't lose a player of that ability and not miss him. Then to lose Gomez a couple of weeks later followed by Matip. Suddenly no senior central defenders

I see that boring team have just whipped Fulham’s arse 0-3.
Must have been loads of hit and hope 30 yard free kicks in that score line.
Best sometimes not to say anything especially when you know so little. 😂
 
1 was a penalty the other two were deep crosses into the box, oh and the team Fulham put out wasn't their first team, I think they made EIGHT changes to the team that played Man U.

I take it you're confident of Burnley banging in goals for the remainder of the season and to then finish mid table?
They scored before 70 minutes as well another point you picked up on.

Mid table?

I’am confident they’ll bang enough goals in to survive the drop that’s for sure and that’s what it’s all about guarantying another season in the Prem.

Here's a couple of more facts to back up the fact that Burnley are a boring team to watch.

In their last 58 league games they've only scored 2 or more in a game THIRTEEN times and failed to score in 20 of those.

It took Blackpool 21 games to score 2 or more in a game 13 times.

If Burnley's style of football floats your boat then I'm delighted for you.
Well one thing sounds pretty clear to me Burnley certainly is your pet hate club.

I dislike Burnley to be fair. Too many nights going to their ground and being threatened by Neanderthals. Got a mate who got slashed with a Stanley knife at Turf Moor.

Yeah it was always a 'rough' away day was Burnley. Saw the worst violence I've seen at football where I parked my car on the council estate near the ground. 4 Burnley fans absolutely leathering a pool fan on his own. Thankfully the police saw it and was soon broken up. Poor Pool fan was in a right mess
