Match Thread : Burnley v Liverpool

[Insidious]

I read it's between Spurs and Arsenal but FSG might drive the bidding up to £110m if our 20% sell on clause is valid.

It'll be 20% of any profit made I should think, rather than 20% of the full fee.

65th minute and I would have taken 1-0 at this stage with the intent of making subs - and now they are coming.

Gravenberch off - Jones on.
Elliott off - Szoboszlai on.
Gakpo off - Diaz on.

[teesred]

But then again,.....this is why you should score your chances and shouldn't be so wasteful in front of goal.

You don't leave yourself open to shithouse decisions from incompetent match officials.

Subs coming on soon.
Hopefully, Gakpo and Gravenberch among those heading out.
They've been among the worst offenders in the wastefulness department.

Agree. We'll only have ourselves to blame. Burnley are shite.

I wouldn't have taken off Young Harvey for Szobo.

Szobo's been in underwhelming form during the last couple of games and Harvey's more than justified his starting position in this game to have been given the full 90.

Gakpo worries me, more of a AMC and we don't play in that system, not really much of a striker.....

Not great again, some good passing in 1st half

Nunez will be motm just for his goal if it stays 0-1 but he's done fuck all after that

Neither should be #1 striker next season.

Wake up Jones ffs

[3underpar]

Gakpo and Gravenberch were generally poor today, poor passing and decisions

[miller0863]

Two touches for Jones and he’s given it away both times

[3underpar]

This is a classic cocking waiting to be administered by Burnley and Tierney/VAR

[miller0863]

Good grief

We were talking a couple of weeks ago about winning our three (winnable) Christmas schedule matches and getting that cushion before City get back from the Club World Cup.

And now here we are struggling just to hold on to a lead and for three points against Mighty (relegation battlers) Burnley, and fluffing at the chance to win the other two matches.

You don't get points for dominating possession in matches.
You have to have end-product and some goals to show for it.
When are we ever going to learn that?
