After a mixed start to the season it is possible we may need someone to blame our failures on. Here are my favourites to win the prestigious scapegoat of the season award.
Moreno :- had a great start to the season against Arsenal but will be disappointed that he didn't start today as he would have had a great chance to extend his lead by claiming fault for both Burnley's goals if he had just been on the pitch.
Mignolet :- took full advantage of Moreno's absence by again failing to save any shots that were on target, this after slipping up badly against Arsenal when he saved a penalty.
Clyne :- Rank outsider but showed improvement when gifting Burnley the ball for their first goal. Needs to concentrate and do this more often if he is going to threaten Moreno's chances.
Henderson :- Perennial favourite for the title but injuries have held him back, not sure that doing nothing is enough to win him the title this year.
Lallana :- Always a contender, but scoring a goal is not the way to the title, did manage to give the ball away that led to Arsenal's first goal but more is expected from a player that can turn into trouble with the best.
Klopp :- rank outsider at the moment , but a few more performances like today and he could join the leaders... picking Henderson as Captain may prove inspired if results continue to go his way. May not get enough defeats to really put him in contention but one to watch.
