New Years Day V Burnley away

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Solanke needs to go out on loan

Nowhere near ready. Should dump Sturridge and Ings and loan Solanke out

 

Buy a striker or even bring Origi back

Disagree, think he looks decent.

[aRdja]

I’m starting to get worried about Mane.

[Lee909]

Fucking state of the weather

 

What the fuck

Give them a second throw

[Bobby Hundreds]

It's even more grim than the line up suggested.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Our midfielders need to to put more effort into showing and making passing angles for our cb's.

[magicrat]

Hanging on here. Need HT

[Lee909]

Disagree, think he looks decent.

Not saying there isn't talent

He isn't a good enough goal threat or ready to be our back up yet

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

It's even more grim than the line up suggested.

 

No it's worse.

[Guest]

This is a good old-fashioned rainy slippery ale-house Sunday football match with jumpers for goalposts and two goalkeepers who aren't really doing very much because of all the slipping and sliding.

[dockers_strike]

No other league in the world make teams and players play twice in 48 hours. And yet people moan about the quality of play when it happens. It is ludicrous and the Premier League needs to sort it out.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

The way we just left the opponent on his own there, 20 yards from goal. Matter of time before they score now.

[mouse1989]

I like Klavan, there I said it. Solid pro

Should be a far bigger problem for Burnley than for us. Doesn’t look that way though.

[Nasty Lizard]

It's the footballing equivalent of how i'm feeling physically today,

[Grinch]

We're playing as well as you'd expect us to be playing without Salah, Coutinho as Firmino. Utter, utter shite.

I bet the likes of Chamberlain, Lallana, Mane, Wijaldum and even Lovren alone cost more than their whole team combined.

 

So whilst it's expected that bunch could create fuck all with Mane out of sorts, it just shows how much of a waste of money they're.

[Guest]

I’m starting to get worried about Mane.

I don't think you can lay too much blame at him. The service has been non-existent.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

First twenty minutes half decent, but no real threat from us. Last 25 very weak.

[Jairzinho]

Mane is out of form. The rest of them simply aren't good enough to start regularly for a side with ambitions of winning stuff.

[suzy]

I’m starting to get worried about Mane.

I’m not watching but it is worrying. You’d think he’d up his game with mo out

We had a tough game against Leicester. They are playing in front of their own fans. So no given the circumstances and weather it should not.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

I like Klavan, there I said it. Solid pro

Solid championship level pro yes. He’s done ok lately, fair play to him for that, but he’s simply nowhere near good enough to play for a top club.

[Bernard Diomede]

Just need a scruffy win here and move on. It's the same every year at this time of year. Come on Reds

[karl1987]

Game if going as expected. Terrible weather and Burnley playing with 10 behind the ball.  

 

If we're gonna win its gonna be in the last 20 minutes of so when they're tired from lack of rotation.

[aRdja]

I remember murmurings about attitude problems when we signed him. I shrugged it off, but I’m starting to wonder now..

[G Richards]

Quality lacking. Various factors.

 

Too many games in quick succession so level drops

Three excellent players out in Coutinho, Salah and Firmino

Burnley are tricky customers, very well organized

The weather conditions are horrible. Swirling wind and driving rain.

 

So, it’s very understandable why we are seeing what we are seeing.

 

I’d like to see Firmino come on second half and get close to Solanke so a partnership might conjure something up. (Is Firmino on the bench?)

 

Beyond that, keep knocking on the door and keep it tight at the back. On the first ha,f it looks more likely that we will do something sloppy to let them in, rather than actually forcing a goal ourselves.

 

The match is like an FA Cup tie from yesteryear.
