Liverpool v Burnley Match Thread

I got the impression in pre season he wasn't mobile enough in terms of our slick pass and move style.

I see him more as a plan b last 20 mins type when we need to go more direct.

Really? I think he's like a young raw sturridge myself. Lack of mobility wasn't something I noticed.
 
His best skill is his ability to take chances, and he still has that, but I agree to the extent that without his speed he doesn't get the chances in the first place.

Yes and now we have Salah with the pace to create those chances instead. Needs to get better at finishing them, mind, but we aren't as desperate to have someone to create something out of nothing
 
Great half despite the conceding a goal. Salah, Coutinho, Can have done well. We need to keep it up in the second half. If we manage to get a goal before the 70th we'll win comfortably.
 
I think Salah plays the Luis Garcia ratio of 5 or 6 chances to every goal. So he could get another one in this game if he 4 more opportunities

I don't think Garcia had half as many chances, he was quiet clinical, he just lost the ball a lot in dangerous places.

I didn't think he was as quick or fluid as a young Studge but if he was that would be superb.

I think he will get the bod on 65 mins unless its the ox and Firmino going central which is an option too
 
Christ that Burnley goal. Watching Matip and The Binman trying to defend is fucking painful.

They're both shit

We'd better hope Salah scores again
 
Sturridge Is playing on his past record. He's been nowhere near the player he was for the last 3 years. As long as he's not showing any sign of reproducing that form of 3 years ago, he should not be played.
I'd rather see Solanke than Sturridge.
In fact, I think we should have played Coutinho in a front 3 alongside Firmino and Salah.

Having said that, I hope he proves me wrong today.
 
Sturridge has not done enough, neither has Milner. Firmino gives us more through the centre and I think a reshuffle of the front 4 is needed. I'd bring on Ox and Henderson for Milner and Sturridge

Fucking embarrassing, Klavan should have cleaned everyone out to clear that.

Brady outjumping anyone is rubbish too.

We've had superb defenders who couldn't head a ball to save their lives before, but it was acceptable because they were utterly brilliant, and also had CB partners who could do the things they couldn't.

Matip gets a bit of a free pass sometimes because his partner is almost always worse than him, which is hardly surprising when it's Lovren or The Binman

But Matip is so mediocre
 
Salah's shooting reminds me of Coutinho in his first season.

It's only a matter of time before he's curling them neatly into the far corner.

He's better than you make out, but he's not some sort of super defender as is made out here, his biggest issue is that he's so fucking casual, there's times where he simply needs to put his head or foot through the ball.

Couldn't agree more.

Matip does somethings really well but gets muscled off it to often also and switches off.

What I'd give for a Hyppia type now.

Any Finnish unknowns out there?
 
Fuck me if that had gone in would have been one of the goals of the season

Robertson after starting brilliantly has faded, seems to be caught in two minds a lot.
