Topic: Half time thread - Liverpool 1 Burnley 0

[Buster Gonad]

Can see Jurgen getting sent off here. Tierney is getting to him.
We just have to get the next one....

[Fitzy.]

Extremely dominant. Obviously should be well clear.

Haven’t watched much of Burnley this season but you can see that they lack a threat despite having some neat and tidy players.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Couldn’t finish their Christmas dinner this lot!

I don't think there have been any bad finishes really. Just not had any luck, and the keeper has made some good saves.

[Clint Eastwood]

Good performance but frustrating to see us not take our chances. Hitting the woodwork yet again. Ridiculous non-decision from VAR (yet again) after a dodgy call from Tierney (yet again).

Just need another to be comfortable because while it’s 1-0 anything can happen regardless of how bad this Burnley side are.

Gakpo and Elliott excellent.

[TALBERT]

Paul Tierney keeping them in it

[Coolie High]

Gakpo has been great, Nunez not far behind.

[StevoHimself]

The fact these referees aren't terrified of the consequences of an incorrect decision is a sad indictment of the modern game. We need some South American style mob vengeance.

[medley]

You can see the first reaction of the defender Nunez supposedly fouls puts his hands over his head to signify he was disappointed they had conceded. His first reaction wasn't to get up and bark at the referee after the goal had gone in

Good approach play and create creation but need that final action needs to be more clinical and we will be flying

[macmanamanaman]

Playing well.
Great finish by Darwin.
Would like to check the disallowed goal again. Its Tierney,  so...

Playing well but I don't feel very confident we ll score again as there is still the feeling our attack will misfire when opportunities present themselves. Hope we put one or two more away.

Burnley are BAD.
But they'll definitely get one opportunity in the 2nd...

[wemmick]

Good so far. I wish Gakpo would stop giving the ball away on the edge of the box. Just forcing things too much.

[duvva 💅]

Great, now we have to deal with Young Trafford as well

He's a lot better than the old version right now. In all seriousness he's the only chance they have of staying up.

Think we've been fine. Dominated, they haven't touched the ball in our box yet. But we should have at least 3 or 4, it wouldn't flatters us.

[Gazza-LFC]

Another game, another instance of being cheated of a goal. Played well, should have put the game to bed.

[1892tillforever]

How is that a foul? The Burnley player doesn't even appeal

Again not quite clinical enough, and things not quite bouncing for us

Yes, that's another one. It's unreal how often the ball is bouncing perfectly for them in the 40 or so times we've been in their penalty box. Summed up by their keeper palming one off his own player only for the ball to nestle perfectly in the keeper's midriff.

[MonsLibpool]

We need to start finishing games like this early. Playing so slow is fine if we're two goals up.

[ShrewKop]

Good to see Nunez score

A lot of poor finishing, combined with their keeper having a good game. Should be 4-0.

Paul Tierney and VAR doing their thing.

Joe Gomez will score one day.

Burnley look like a pub team.

[Darren G]

Should've had more, but look in control for the most part. Great strike from Darwin and had a good half in general. The more I see of Gravenberch though, the more I understand Bayern fans not being arsed at him leaving. Non-existent again. 

[art03]

Crossbar again!!!!!! Seems like we need to work on our front 3 chemistry. A bit off at those crucial moments when they are trying to play those intricate passes between them.

[KissThisGuy]

Any idea why VAR didn't overturn Tierney for the none challenge on the 2nd?

[Studgotelli]

We need to start finishing games like this early. Playing so slow is fine if we're two goals up.

Nothing wrong with how we’re playing we want to avoid injuries, we just need to take our chances

[Coolie High]

How was that a foul?

[RyanBabel19]

McManaman needs to retire

Moron

Wasn't a clear and obvious error apparently

[Lynndenberries]

Score a second and kill the game off.

Oh also, Tierney can fuck off.

[KevLFC]

Tierney is a prick

Not done badly. Var could have overturned the goal?

[smicer07]

Any idea why VAR didn't overturn Tierney for the none challenge on the 2nd?

Backing up his mate?

[Eeyore]

Couldn’t finish their Christmas dinner this lot!

1 goal from an xG of 1.32.

[Mighty_Red]

Game should be over we've played well and had enough chances. Unfortunately we also have that c*nt Tierney to thank for blowing for a non foul and VAR being too weak to overturn it. Just add that to another shit decision against us.

Just need to get that 2nd quickly, these lot are rubbish but no need to give them any kind of hope going into the last 20mins

[Nick110581]

How was that a foul?

It wasn’t.

VAR ruining football

[TALBERT]

Any idea why VAR didn't overturn Tierney for the none challenge on the 2nd?

VAR is there to back up the referee…

No way would VAR dare question Paul Tierney

[rafathegaffa83]

Burnley are shite. We should be winning by 3 or 4. Got to get another goal

[Samie]

Should've had more, but look in control for the most part. Great strike from Darwin and had a good half in general. The more I see of Gravenberch though, the more I understand Bayern fans not being arsed at him leaving. Non-existent again.

They were arsed though, they wanted Goretzka to go. 

[CS111]

Grab another asap and pass until then cant run anymore

[1892tillforever]

Any idea why VAR didn't overturn Tierney for the none challenge on the 2nd?

Simon "Spurs" Hooper is on VAR. He probably would have overturned it if Tierney miraculously made the right decision.

[Jean Girard]

These are like Daniel Farke's Norwich on Xanax.

Hope we get another couple and don't let them off the hook 

[Pistolero]

Baldy little fuckin gargoyle Tierney couldn't wait to disallow that perfectly good goal.....absolutely fuckall wrong with the challenge...even the Burnley defender thought so...put his head in hands when Gakpo buries it cos he knew he'd fucked up - a foul never entered his head....

[Coolie High]

McManaman needs to retire

Moron

Wasn't a clear and obvious error apparently

Proper idiot.

[OkieRedman]

I despise not punishing teams. Letting them off the hook massively.
They walked onto that pitch like walking to an extraction, and we are giving them reprieves after reprieve.

[gerrardisgod]

Joey goal is coming.

[has gone odd]

Most annoying and frustrating game. No idea why that goal was disallowed, utter disgrace VAR yet again.

Should be well out of sight, Burnley are fuckin abysmal, we are lowering to the opponents standards again. We must have the worst goals per shot ratio in the league by miles.

Cahmon redmen, make this easy on the eye today please!

[vicar]

Tierney is a joke. Perfectly good goal, no obvious foul, he knows that VAR wont over-rule on that, cos its his mate. Desperate to influence the game. Klopp should call him out after the game as he is not hiding it.

Even without that we should be out of sight, lets how we find our shooting boots and put these to the sword the second half.

[MonsLibpool]

Nothing wrong with how we’re playing we want to avoid injuries, we just need to take our chances

Killing games off early also helps.
