Topic: Half time: Burnley 0-0 Liverpool

[RJH]

Keita doing well, Matip looks off the pace, Origi is coming too deep for the ball.

We've had plenty of the ball, need to start doing something with it in the second half.
Think Shaqiri and Keita are key to building the attack.

[Zlen]

Where is Henderson to get into Burnley's faces and tell the ref to do his fucking job after they kick us all over the pitch?
Do your job captain.

[RyanBabel19]

I thought Sturridge played well actually, he's never really had any time or space on the ball yet looks the most likely to make something happen alongside Keita.

He's been decent, playing some nice little flicks to tee up teammates

[number 168]

Origi and Sturidge not doing much, but does Klopp risk Salah or Firmino against a team of cloggers who are almost being egged on by the ref to injure our players?

[Oberyn_Martell]

They’re here to injure us.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Milner's forward passing and Keita's forward running have both been very good. They're in our first XI in the 4-3-3 IMO.

Shame our midfield has finally provided verticality without our best attackers on the pitch. I was fine with one of Origi or Sturridge tonight but think both is overkill. Would get Salah on ASAP.

[jillcwhomever]

Not reacting about Gomez too much, sometimes things look worse than what they appear, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[RyanBabel19]

I'd get Sturridge to drop into the hole and have Origi run in behind for Keita to feed.

Salah will come on later regardless if we are winning, drawing or losing.

Do the thing that people criticised him for doing when he got sent off last week?

[Je99ers]

Been thinking that for a while.

He has to go in the next transfer window along with Solanke and Origi.   There are heaps of better strikers, if it was not for a world class status.

[sminp]

Bloody hell. Gomez injury is really worrying. We’ve been bang average aside from Naby and VIrgil. Perhaps understandable with the changes and a bit better in the last 15. Ref allowed Bardsley a couple of shithouse challenges so he’s kept doing it. Matip is putting the fear in me. Looks really sketchy.

Just about sums it up really

[Zlen]

Do the thing that people criticised him for doing when he got sent off last week?

That was just silly.
He doesn't have to foul them, just growl at them and tell the ref to pull his finger out and start giving us fouls.

[DelTrotter]

Do the thing that people criticised him for doing when he got sent off last week?

  Yep, the lad can't win.

[Schmidt]

Do the thing that people criticised him for doing when he got sent off last week?

To be fair that has bothered me for a while too, Henderson doesn't even look at the ref unless he gets called over while the opposition are pressuring him at every opportunity.

The world's greatest is finally dropping clangers.

[Red Beret]

Yard dogs.  Always with our players.  Hope Gomez is okay.

Fucking hate it when a team tactic is to just take our players out.  Don't see them trying that on a Man City player.

We've got enough.  Let's stretch the bastards to breaking point second off and whack a couple past them.

Fabinho would be the man to stop those dirty tackles! 

[Sharado]

Sturridge doesn't really work as a starter anymore.

Yeah I think at a stretch start him at home against some cannon fodder but he's an impact sub now and that's about it. It's not just the lack of sharpness, he isn't and never has been suited to the press that Jurgen is after. Even the slightly more mellow version of the press we've been using this year.

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Part of the job though, and it's not like we're in a league where top 4 is assured and we can afford to settle for draws, if it's still even get Salah on at least.

[Gerry Attrick]

You can't expect them to open up and be sliced apart just to entertain. They're doing what they have to do to get a result for their fans, and it's up to us to kick things up a notch or two because we've been sterile so far.

Keita is looking good, Origi seems to be wasted on the wing. Need to be a bit braver on the ball outside their box.

They play like this against Lincoln. Absolute festering shite of a football team that offer sweet fuck all to the league.

[latortuga]

This looks a dead certainty for a 0-0.

Probably fair after the fluke against Everton.

Only option is to get VVD forward haha...

[Sharado]

I know people hate henderson/gerrard comparisons but fucking hell that was quite the slip.

[M7 Heckler]

Don't know why Gomez was even starting this game.

its a massive mistake by klopp, no idea what this god damn obsession is with playing him at full back. if hes not playing CB give him a rest.

burnley players putting some vicious tackles in, captain should be more vocal to the ref early on but he was busy doing nothing.

hoping for a better second half.

[Andy82lfc]

So many people dying for Origi prematch when he’s done absolutely nothing to warrant a start lately apart from one (very well taken) goal. So how about now he’s playing and you got your wish we back him and hope he scores a couple instead of laying into him after 45 minutes.

[Caligula?]

Salah and Firmino to come on at some point early in the second half. Firmino has been extremely poor and needs a bit of a rest but right about now I'd still have him in ahead of either Sturridge or Origi. That is, if he doesn't play in midfield.

[meady1981]

I’m going 0-4

I don’t think this game is for you

We have plenty of time. As long as we keep it tight, they will tire and we have the quality to exploit gaps.

Not sure its a game for Firmino. Salah, deffo.

We’ve put them up for this!!! They’ve looked st our team sheet and thought these bastards are taking the piss ..... we’ll show them!!
