Not getting the rub of the green, I see no more than that.
To dominate them like we did and to be 2-0 down is far from a true reflection.
The second was lucky pinball break. Hopefully we get what we deserve in second half as we did not in the first.

Ah now...

Burnley are awful alright......worst performance from us in a while also....

Largely the same problems as pre-season for Liverpool.

Absolutely no defensive instinct in midfield in front of the centre halves, Wijnaldum in central midfield is mad. Whoever thought Milner is an option at left back is also mad. You have to have a left back who is comfortable on their left foot, it's a fundamental requirement.

Moreno in at LB and even a quarter fit Lucas would improve the midfield

Klaven was good, unlucky that tackle.
Burnleys half. We have dominated 20%-80%

Heaton hasn't had to make a save that wasn't rolling slowly to him.

It's the type of game where you don't know whether to sub off the forwards or the defenders, everyone is shîte. Coutinho's shown a bit of go but wasting it with potshots from difficult positions. If Sturridge is still out there in the second half, the focus has to be on creating good chances for him, because taking them is the one thing he has left as a footballer.

2-2 draw best case scenario from here, but I wouldn't count on it.

Football can throw up games like this where class fails to show over 90 mins.

What does it matter? You send out a team without any defensive protection in midfield and get played through then you can have five keepers and it still wouldn't matter.

Mignolet isn't to blame for any of this.

He's been rubbish, instrumental in both goals

What has been good about this performance. Passing the ball around and creating **** all chances isn't showing 'class' btw

Of course......Mané is a big loss but I'd have played Origi in his absence.....we are a different team with a bit of speed up top.....Sturridge doesn't have it and when Coutinho and Firmino are ineffective it will mean 0 goals....

Vicxas

Hard second half ahead. Need to come out firing

Harry Palmr

Sturridge is just getting in the way

Not a fan of him at all as my posting history will show but peoples search for a scapegoat is as strong as ever.....The system with the players selected is failing hard.....need a change..

We're playing against 2 blocks of 4
No space in behind
We need a break is all
All we can do is keep probing

NukaCola

Danny not at it today

Irish_rat

Predictable as you like:

Henderson likes to delicately pass the ball but doesn't have enough pace to reach the intended target.

Milner is not allowed to use his left leg.

Sturridge can't sprint.

Coutinho having a stinker. Firminho has barely had a touch of the ball.

Lallana is huffing and puffing.

Liverpool still have a hopeless defense

Nothing different from last season so

super_furry

Disappointed to see Sturridge out for the second half. Either bring on someone else in midfield to strengthen there or get Origi on.

It's a shame that the other Danny has all but been shown the door.

Osmosis Jones

There are probably three people in the team today who know how to make a tackle

Actualy agree its hard to break down two banks of four sitting this deep

NukaCola

So more of the same this half?

Osmosis Jones

Another fantastic short corner to win us a throw in

Osmosis Jones

Great cross Firmino, no one there

Osmosis Jones

Sturridge ffs leave it for Clyne

Hmm I've got WWE wrestling on my skysports5...

Clyne final ball is generaly awful

Vicxas

Sturridge you greedy bastard

Was a brilliant ball... honestly I don't know what Danny is doing today. His positioning has been shocking.

mada999

get him off and get Origi on... need someone who can head in a ball from a cross as that what they seem to be doing at the moment... that and taking pot shots from everywhere..

Leave it on.

Better than this ****!

FernandoTorres

Nobody will attack a header. They all just stand there waiting for it to land on their head.

NukaCola

Get Sturridge off.....offered nothing today....

SlickRic

This is all about lack of pace.

How Origi isn't on yet is beyond me.

super_furry

Got to love how they keep going wide to cross the ball into the four short-arses Liverpool have in the box.

Slattsy

Klopp clueless

mada999

what's going on with our touch today.... Clyne's touch shocking today..

murpho999

Is it just me but do Liverpool often face teams like Burnley playing out of their skin and defending like crazy. Seems to happen a lot.

Exactly. There's no excuses there today. Nobody can put this down to Mignolet, the absent Moreno or the bloody ref.

This is all down to a lack of protection in the CM area and even on here yesterday a few people mentioned it and got laughed at.

If you attack against us you score. Ya cant rely on scoring 3, 4, 5 goals every game to win matches.
Even if we win this the warning signs are there. 5 goals conceded in 135 mins.

Is he having a laugh with all these shots ?!?

super_furry

Sturridge looks so unfit. Can't fathom why he's still out there.

Vicxas

Sturridge needs to come off. Has done sweet FA all match

asteroids over berlin

Henderson is a main problem! We NEED a commanding midfielder, sell Henderson. Then concentrate on a left back and centre half

Liam O

Accepting the risk of him popping one in the top corner, I always find it humourous when Coutinho blasts his 10th shot of the day over the bar.

Charlie19

One of those days were if my stream was to stop, I wouldn't be too arsed to find another.

J Mysterio

Origi please

the premierleague is full of these teams, you need horses for courses and you need a few goals from corners etc to get you out of trouble...unfortunately we dont seem to be score from too many corners....
