KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Burnley v Liverpool

2 shots 2 on target, and 2 goals for burnley. I do feel sorry for mignolet. even with mane we'd of struggled after we went 1-0 down, if the rest of the team played like that.

we should be destroying that first half performance as fans, our passing was diabolical, our touches, sturridge looked so casual at times, not enough intensity, our centre backs for the 2nd goal aren't doing enough when they counter attacked us, if you can't even play out of the back against Burnley you really shouldn't be using this setup. Have we even done any training between now and arsenal?

Let's see how we do at breaking down burnley in the second half, but I did say before the season began we haven't improved in possession football, therefore it's important we don't go behind, and if you think how hard it is when you're behind, work even harder when you're infront to extend your lead or not concede knowing that.

I'll say it before someone else might, all the tricks and flicks to retain possession when you're losing are just mocking your own team to be honest.

Same [oops] different season.

Unacceptable result today, beating Arsenal and losing to Burnley sums up Liverpool over the last few seasons.

Looking forward to seeing all the posters who appear after a defeat who were no where to be seen last week. You have to question 'fans' who take more pleasure in defeats than victories.

It's been like that for years and always will be. Quiet as hell last week in here but there'll be 20 threads from the usual suspects spouting the usual crap tonight. I'm just going away for the evening and let them get on with it.

Shot from outside the box far too much. Not really any clear cut chances for us despite all the attempts, needed to play it out wide and cut it back or face it across goal but never happened. Really disapointing from Sturridge, didn't look up for it today. Gave up on a through ball in the first half far too easily when he could have got to it. Strange for him to play on the right and Firminio central but he looked in a strop.

I'm not entering panic stations because I believe in klopps brand of football (we all still should), I just sincerely hope the players do (although on the evidence of today whether the players understand how to improve as a team is 50/50 anyone's guess).

Can I still ask though why klopp wouldn't want to improve us like a spurs side, be able to create chances better with the ball even if they sit back. sign creative quality players from deep, still be superior in fitness.

Im not gonna say things like "i told you so" because it is only 2nd game of the season and anything can happen. But today was dreadful again. Its a mirror image from the last few seasons. No defense and cant create up front. There is absolutely no excuses for today. Most players played bad but some were beyond that especially in the CM. If im honest im not surprised by the result after watching how we defended against arsenal.

Signings take time to gel in I understand that but even if those signings do well other areas of the pitch still remain bad.

Truth is they were better than us, if they hadn't fell back to defend their lead they have likely embarrassed us even more. What a load of bollockks! It's not looking good for my hope of Klopp emulating Rodgers achievement under similar circumstances, especially if we keep playing like that, Sean Dyce out Klopp'd Klopp there, and it appears Klopp didn't have the answer. Not good, not good.

I think Dunk needs to do something about some of the idiotic threads that are constantly started on this website. If you look at the posters who start these threads they never comment on matches, they don't comment on anything LFC related except constantly moan about FSG and take delight when we have a bad result. Sad and pathetic doesn't come close to describing these peoples lives.

To coin one of those posters - +1 zillion Chris
