Honestly thought Origi had a good half, miss aside.

Yea, 3-4 shots he made Pope save

facehugger99

We've forgotten how to score.

He was woeful truely woeful

Harry Palmr

Origi is playing better football than Mane right now. One has had three shots at goal.

That free kick was just weird. TAA is so wound up he shouldn't be taking them.

mightyreds

Shocked they didn't give fabinho a red card is our var luck turning around

Osmosis Jones

Been an issue most of the season but once again I'm noticing every time Mane gets the ball he seems to stand around and wait for Burnley to set up their defensive lines before trying to do anything.

I agree. He hasn’t been that bad at all. Granted the miss kind of overshadows that.

Fitz*

This is bad. Things are bad.

DrumSteve

Tbf a royal rumble in the tunnel would be an improvement on that first half

BorneTobyWilde

Var getting involved there for no reason. Looking for a red in a nothing incident.

Osmosis Jones

There's no team like Burnley when it comes to climbing all over the opposition and acting like they're the ones being fouled

Absolutely, ya have to score. Still looked the most dangerous player on the pitch for us that half.

Genuinely can't understand all the whinging about him throughout the half - without his few efforts we literally did nothing that half.

Look how many times he breaks down attacks,
He absolute zero Go or aggression in him

The fella wouldnt get a game for any other premium leauge side,

I'm fairly certain now there will never be any goals scored at Anfield ever again.

It’s gone so mental that I was expecting Mike Dean to be told to walk over to the telly screen.

Speak Now

Pope must be breaking records for the length of time he takes for his goal kicks.

Fitz*

That Origi chance was the exact type of goal needed to kick-start the form too. A bit of luck.

Utopia Parkway

Over 6 and half hours now without a league goal. And in the game prior to that they scored 7.

Ken Tucky

This non attempt to challenge when it's a high ball and the ref always penalises the player actually making the legal attempt is a poison in this sport.

Himself and Gini are taking too many touches. It pains me to see the team so out of ideas.

Osmosis Jones

Surprised at all the grief towards Origi when I haven't seen Ox properly control the ball once

Zak Flaps

Ox has been non existent.

Why has Fabinho been booked when it was the Burnley player who kicked out?

Ox has been way, way worse.

The move that led to Trent's blazed free kick right at the half is the perfect example. Fabinho and Thiago played it around tight spaces in defence, navigated the press and got it to Robertson, he bombs up the pitch and plays it quickly into the middle, Burnley are out of sorts and we have time....then Mane holds onto it until he has 4 defenders in front of him and tries to run into all of them.

Totally disagree, Mane was far more responsible for letting moves pitter out, followed by Ox and TAA.

Origi looked the only one willing to actually try to do something, along with (very occasionally) Shaq.

We just had so many worse players, I don't see the point in whinging about the guy having his first league start since last season. he missed a chance by the smallest margin you can miss a chance, which he made himself anyway. Obviously you want him to score it, but no one else is doing anything.

Harry Palmr

The good news is that two players who haven't scored for 4 games are on the bench.

And Minamino.

martyos121

If Robbo could work on his shooting the way Marcelo did at his age, he really could be getting 5+ a season.

But he wasn't. Hate him as much as you want, but don't let that cloud your judgement. He was good that half, better than most.

BorneTobyWilde

Klopp wound up. I'd expect a MASSIVE reaction in second half. Salah for Ox needed for sure

Francie Barrett

What was Klopp complaining about to Dyche in the tunnel?

Divock is usually a man for cool finish but the second I saw him shaping for the shot too soon my heart sunk.

A little bit of measured analysis at least.

Isn't it obvious?

Minamino has summoned some Ring/Grudge curse sh!t on Klopp after being frozen out.

Osmosis Jones

Anyway this is all my fault I put a tenner on Div scoring

Two of them should've just got a telling off but if you book one then other should receive a yellow too.

Another example of one rule for Liverpool.

Osmosis Jones

I swear there's at least one really bad challenge on Thiago every game, Barnes flying through him today.

Bandana boy

Ox these days , I just do not know what he offers , I can't think of one skill in football he is actually good at .

393 mins without a goal is insane , I think we average a goal every 36 mins under Klopp so that's insane , but the mad thing bar Origi I don't see a bad sitter missed in that time , or a great save made by a keeper . It's just like every player has forgot how to create a goal scoring chance

Charlie19

On a positive note, Matip has been immense.

Agent Coulson

I really think Fab being missing from midfield is more of a issue than VVD being out injured.

kingshankly

400 minutes without a goal

~Rebel~

Wonder would Klopp be tempted by Milner or Neco on for TAA soon? There's loads of space out on the right, but TAA is making things so easy for them. Hanging back by the touch line, and lofting in nice easy balls. He's really struggling for form, but he doesn't look to be trying to play his way out of it... just keeps repeating the same ineffectual choices.

Ox not much better in the same channels.

BorneTobyWilde

Both kick out, one gets yellow, one doesn't

Dyche said something to Klopp as he ran past him in the tunnel, whatever it was wound Klopp up.

Not trying to be smart here, but don't hold your breath. Something is seriously wrong at the club recently and it wont be fixed during a halftime break.

BorneTobyWilde

Barnes was on a yellow, should have been off if it's a yellow for Fabinho how could it not be for the exact same kick out,

Osmosis Jones

Btw the reason Barnes wasn't booked is obvious, he already has a yellow, ref being cowardly

This is the most worrying thing - in this barren run I don't remember the opposition keepers making any super saves. The defences have all been very comfortable against us.

Edit - ok the West Brom keeper made a great save from Firmino's header, but apart from that?

Unbeliveable that Barnes wasn't sent off there, especially as Fabinho was booked in the same incident.
